So cool! Thank you for sharing
It IS exciting when everything starts to click into place! 💕
I love your layouts for August! Where do the stickers come from?
I keep waffling on just a running weekly list for work vs a weekly spread. Also being hybrid has been a challenge. The days I work from home I don't need my full planner but I have a lot of information in my planner. Thinking about getting some monthly inserts for my mini HP to have my work calendar on me or possibly a Hobonichi Day Free or Sterling Ink monthly booklet. But I have been missing my discs since I've had book bound planners on the brain.
I love how you will change your inserts as you need.
Thank you! Things can get so hectic around here, so I need the most flexibility I can get, and that’s definitely my ring agendas! 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Off-topic but I love your mannequin manicure <3
Thank you so much 🫶🏽
Your planner stacks are beautiful! It makes me so happy watching this video!
Yay! I’m so glad. These are always my go to planners. I love them so much 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Love your setup. Thanks for sharing!
I love your channel as well!
Thank you so much! Did you have any luck with either of the Sterling Ink planners? 🫶🏽
Thank you so much 🫶🏽🫶🏽
I have those design stickers and I don’t think I have ever opened them, I might need to.
I still haven’t used them since the Lightly Inked bundle brought so many stickers! 🥰🥰
I like the idea of having the lv pm as a lists, Brian dump planner. I've been trying to figure how I could use it. Thanks for a great video as always.
It’s such a convenient size, but checking with three different agendas is a bit too much for me. I can only do two before I start to lose track of things 🫣. I hope the PM works for you 🫶🏽
I love how dralvaplans tells you that she doesn't need to do it.
Hey girl hey! Daisy Papers is the shop I ordered from too! I ordered the “micro” size!!! (I’m a transparent girly, too!) the size is PERFECT.
Thank you so much for this recommendation! I’m excited to make a future order with all the tips I received 🤗🤗
I would love to know what people do with dots that large? I just can’t figure it out. A leaf here and there haha Great video ❤
Perhaps in a bullet journal or a large undated monthly in a book bound planner 🤣😂🤣. I think Daisy is a strong contender as my new sticker shop. Thank you for your kind words 🥰🥰
Hi Robyn- I used mine on my notes pages! I didn’t want them to go to waste 😅
@@NatashaRae83 Such a great tip! ✨✨
Love the butterfly and floral stickers! I like simplicity of your personal planner.
Thank you sweet friend! 😘 After I get the order I just placed, I’m hoping it will be all set to go. I’m excited about the tweaks I will make.
That small "brain dump" notebook is adorable; I hope it works well for you!
If it wasn’t for you, I would have never thought of it! Thank you 🫶🏽🫶🏽
ask her to make you smaller, botanical circles if that’s something you’d like. She made me a no spend sticker and now she sells them in her shop. She also has different sizes. She does a medium midi and I think she has one other size so I always get the midi which are the teeny tiny ones that you’re talking about
Ah, this is the comment I was hoping to get!!! Thank you so much. I can’t wait to make my next order and ask for these requests. I’m so grateful for these recommendations! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
@@dr_alvaplans lol… her smallest is I think is the midi and that is the size that matches paperire planning closest but you can always email her. She responds very quickly if you’re ever in doubt and if you want anything particular she can make it, it just may take longer, but she’s very very, very easy to work with.
Your personal size set up is gorgeous 😍😍 I completely feel you about paperie planning! Looks like sweet caress might be a good fit though! So excited to see the personal size!
Thank you so much! Just wait until you see the Mia Cara in person 🤗🤗. I love these Sweet Caress stickers. And I just posted another video with another AMAZING sticker shop! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love your planner ❤❤ so excited to see the A5 half hourly! I also need to see that level of breakdown! Also congrats on the steps goals! That’s amazing 🎉
It’s a mess because they are undated, and you know I’ve been a dated planner girl forever. Let’s see if maybe I can get a custom order by getting them dated for next year. 🫣
Loved this. You're videos have really helped me with my A5 set up.
Thank you so much for these kind words! I’m so glad you have been inspired and able to have a setup you’re enjoying. Thank you! 🤗
Yes to the half-hour for hourly!
Best change ever! 🤗🤗
great video!!! lots of ideas ! i work from home so i don’t want to have multiple planners but my GM is stuffed and chunky!
I bet she looks beautiful! Thank you so much, and I remember just using my GM when I was working from home. 🤗🫶🏽
It’s going to be so interesting to see how the system goes.
I completely agree, but I’m optimistic that it will go well as long as I don’t get distracted by something new and shiny 🫣🤣😂
I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you sweet friend! I’m trying to share a little more about myself on here. I appreciate your support so much 🤗🤗
Having "planner peace" really helps with "inner peace," doesn't it! It's analogous to having a clean, decluttered home, where you know where everything is. Q: Have you ever kept a "brain dump" page? I think of it as a larger, more general to-do list so I don't have to keep too much stored in my head.
Thank you! I have used a brain dump notebook for work on and off, but usually for personal items, I just use my A5 ring planner. I use a lot of sticky notes though for lists as well. 🤗🤗
@@dr_alvaplans How did we function before sticky notes were invented? 😀 I seem to recall using lots of small pieces of paper. Ugh.
@@pattie2day I know, but they are convenient and can easily be thrown out 🤗
I cannot deal with undated planners. I need a pretty font and does not create more work for me.
I’m so sad to give up on my peanuts inserts, but all this dating is a bit too much for me. I completely agree with you! Thank you for watching 🤗
I immediately went to the Barnes & Noble website 😆
It’s such a great tote!!!! Did you get it? 🥰
Your planner system makes perfect sense to me! ... And I MUST have that B&N tote. 😀
I’m hoping I’m done with the moving around if my inserts and refreshing my setup now! I really think that sharing has provided me with a lot of clarity, and I’m so grateful for your support 🫶🏽🫶🏽. You will love the B&N tote 🤗
Love your planners ❤ so beautiful 😍 once you find a paperie planning replacement, please share lol 😆 can’t wait to see more of your rings and your lovely deco!
I just made an order last week with a potential planner shop, but she’s in Canada, so I will not get the stickers until next week 😫. I can’t wait to show my order though! 🤗
Do not wash the tote bags, they are never the same. “Undated business” hahaha
This was the comment I was looking for! What I suspected is in fact true then! Thank you for confirming it! 🥰🥰
I got tired of the undated business 🤣😂🤪
I have the BN one too 😅
I love it so much! So sturdy and spacious 🤗🤗🤗. We are planner tote twins 🤪
I love the thin page pins for my monthly to represent things that happen for more than one day. TFS
I definitely plan on ordering more! They are a must have and easy to move around 🤗🤗
I tried the Weekly Hourly, being certain it was the perfect insert for me. I didn’t like the priorities and notes sections being at the bottom, which didn’t bother me until I was actually using them. Sometimes you have to try them in real life, yes?
Right, I completely agree! And I love trying out other inserts. I do think this new half hour one is perfect for list planners who just want to write a long list without categories 🤗🤗. Thank you for watching!
Brings out my Lightly Inked stickers because that’s so pretty.
I absolutely love them, but I can’t keep splurging on planner stickers because it will get very expensive 😫
omg.................the chocolate brown color 😍🥰
And it was a very hard find! It’s a true beauty since it’s vintage, but it’s on pristine condition 🤎🤎🤎
I love this A5 and personal rings combo! ❤ your deco is also beautiful! Thank you so much for the lovely flip!
Thank you so much for watching my dear friend! I will just close out the year on these two 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I love the stickers your friend surprised you with - can you find out where she bought them please? I am totally with you with overdoing the stickers and running a high monthly tab with them, plus the faff of decorating more when you are very busy. I have the same stance as you, a few stickers here and there is great, more is not lol. Maybe you should experiment with creating a laminated vellum vertical insert for your weekly recurring tasks cheking them off and wiping it off every week, saving you time for constantly re-writing the list? Remind me in what instance you decide to highlight certains hours with a micro dot? I love Linen, I have it in so many shapes! Verona is a nice compromise for a dark brownish colour that doesn't look too dark.
You know, I actually don’t mind rewriting the items; it keeps me on my toes the stickers are from a store called Daiso. Most of these stores are in California and one in Texas and another one in Washington. I don’t know how close you are to a Daiso. Keep me posted! 🤗🥰. I use the dot only when it’s a medical appt in my monthly view but I the dot for any times event on my weekly. Thank you for providing the great color options, and your thorough comment. ✨✨
@@dr_alvaplans good idea for highlighting events 😊. Very far, am in the UK 🤣.
@@froufou100 😫😫 on the distance!
what is the name of the candles you get and how do you get them so clean? I have tried but cant get the wax off...
The candles are from Rosie Papeterie, and she created them to be easily cleaned. All I did was rinse it with hot water and dry it up with a paper towel and done! 🤗🤗
Is your gold pin poked through your leather or is it magnetic?
Hi, it’s magnetic 🤗
Not me looking on Amazon for an A5 Filofax after watching your video 😅 love all your planners!
😂🤣 You just made my morning and day with this comment. I can’t wait to hear if you found something. No matter what you use, it will be so beautiful. Thank you for watching sweet friend! Your words mean so much to me. 🥰
😂 Sometimes I feel like Goldilocks when it comes to figuring out what to use and how to use it -- too large, too small, just right.
I know, and perhaps the problem is that there are so many beautiful products/planners out there! Our community has so many talented shop owners, so we want it all. I say we just enjoy it and navigate all the planner goodies the best we can without being so hard on ourselves. I’ve tried to create some boundaries though such as just limiting myself to two planners. I’m glad we share the Goldilocks experience though because it shows that we are not alone. 🫶🏽🫶🏽
I woke up feeling like crap today. I saw this video and made me instantly happy. Got to drink coffee and just chill. Still looking forward to the cash stuffing vid. Also do you think it’s too early to start setting up for 2025?😂
I know the exact feeling, and I’m so glad I was able to bring you some joy. Thank you so much for sharing this; it means so much to me. I’m so grateful for your support. 💕💕
I love the size of personal, I just write so big. But you make it seem possible
I think it all depends on the insert layout, but you know I still love my A5 because I looove all the writing space. Let’s keep figuring out what can work 🥰
I love how you're using the C+P album as a card storage. Perfect! Love it!
It’s extremely convenient! Thank you for your support 🥰🥰
I really love how functional your set up is. I'm definitely taking notes on how I can improve my system. Thanks for showing!
Thank you so much for watching! I’m at a point in my life where simplicity is what I need to be most productive 🫣
I really like your setup. Thanks for sharing. Really inspiring.
Thank you so much 🤗. I’m so grateful for your comment.
Daisy on Etsy is just as good as paperire planning
You’re right! I am so grateful for this reminder. I was hoping for someone in the USA, but her stickers are beautiful and a great option. Thank you 🥰
Lady, you are on a roll! Have you been batching like crazy. Always great to hear your thinking behind planning decisions. I have to say I try to track and fail miserably time after time. This week is empty again. I feel like a planner girl failiure! It's a great tool but for some reason my brain has difficulty doing it. Btw, I thought that your long weekly tracker could still work when you return to work, for tracking your social media upload for instance. I love categories on it too. I love those round flower stickers, please don't tell me they are from Papery Planning because I want to buy them....
Thank you! I’ve been filming over due videos before I get busy and have to go back to work. I hope the year long tracker will stick around when I go back to work. I say don’t be so hard on yourself about the trackers. Perhaps just using a sticky note placed at a visible place will help. Thank you for watching 🫶🏽🤗. Unfortunately, the stickers are from Paperie Planning 😢.
@@dr_alvaplans thank you dear 🤗
@@froufou100 Always my pleasure ✨
Great idea for sticker storage.
Thank you! What I showed is still the easiest way for me. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. 🫣🫶🏽
Love this as always❤
Thank you so much for your kind comment! 🥰🤗
Your video is causing me to think about using a separate planner just for tracking, meal planning, etc., instead of trying to put everything in one planner. It seems to create more focused energy and intention, which I really need!
Totally worth a try! I’m still figuring out if the two planner system will be a success. Once I go back to work, I will know. But I totally agree with your reasoning. 🥰
