I just want to tell you how much I have appreciated your videos these past four months since I found you. I’m stuck home exhausted from weekly chemo and you are getting me through this time. Sometimes I watch three or four of your videos day, and sometimes I just watch all day long!! And amazingly I have not run out of videos to watch yet! Holy moly you must have hundreds. I especially enjoy watching you make spreads for your patrons. I get lost watching the videos and it takes my mind off of everything else while I watch to see what you’ll do. Thank you for all the work you do to put these out, especially when you’re going through such a tough time yourself. Wishing you the best with everything and with getting settled in your new place.
I love your videos and that you are real with your followers. You are human just like us and I think that some content creators forget that. Thank you for being a go to for my UA-cam binges!
I sometimes make lists AFTER I’ve accomplished them, simply so I get the satisfaction of seeing my accomplishments. I love having a cuter/more fun list. Thanks for this and the chance! 🤞🤞
I have been a list maker for a very long time, but I never thought to make categories! 🤦🏼♀️ I’m now retired and usually only make lists when we are going out of town or for family gatherings. I am new to planning. I started in June after receiving an unexpected medical diagnosis. I kept rehashing info from doctors and test results and was making myself crazy. I started using a planner to write down all of the info and it has been a huge help. I found you on UA-cam when I was looking for ways to use my planner for “normal” things. You have very inspirational to me. You stay strong! You will get through your tough times, too!
Love the Master To-Do List idea, and I always appreciate how pretty you make things. And slipping a little giveaway in is a sweet little bonus. Thanks for the opportunity!
Mary Ellen your videos are my absolute favorite! I get so excited whenever there is a new one. I would love to be included in the drawing and thank you for your generosity! 😊
Your videos and your openness and just being real has helped me stay grounded by inspiring me to stick with my planner/journal though a really tough time in my life over the past several months. I am so glad I found your channel.
My daughter got engaged today, so you've inspired me to make a To-Do list for all the wedding plans that need to be accomplished. Thank you for always being an inspiration in creativity and positivity!
First off, I appreciate you for being transparent in your videos. I have been a fan for many years! I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Second, I love making To Do lists. Most of the time I don’t decorate them, bust sometimes I go all out with decorating them. I would love to win this sticker book. It looks so fun.
Hi Mary Ellen! Since I started following you, I found my creativity again! I’m a teacher and finding free time to scrapbook or paint is nearly impossible. Finding your channel showed me I can be creative AND productive AND work on my mental health. It’s the outlet I never expected to find. Your so talented, and thank you for always being real and vulnerable even when it’s really deep. Even though we’ve never met, you feel like family. I’m in my mid 20’s and becoming an adult is something else. When you talk about your hardships and experiences in life, I feel like I learn a new perspective about something in my own life. I wouldn’t have found me again without you! So thank you for everything you do! ❤ (Also thanks for the chance to win!)
Chunking large amounts of information into manageable bites is a big way I try to manage my anxiety. Plus, categorizing and decorating scratch that wonderful organizational itch in my brain. These little section headers you've made are simple yet supremely adorable
Thank you for always being so creative and showing us new and bright ideas to use our millions of Would appreciate ring included in your giveaway. Thank you Mary Ellen!
Thank you for this video. Sometimes it DOES feel like there are too many things that need to be done and my go to is a to do list... And now I have inspiration for a decorated to do list.... One that keeps me coming back to finish the tasks because it is decorated and pretty.
I just wanted to say how proud I am of you for your strength. You've had a hard and stressful time for the last few years and I can relate. I hope that you continue to thrive in your new environment and just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy hanging out with you on your videos.
My husband and I enjoy watching your videos. Honestly, you are our Tv Show at night! 😊. You have given me inspiration to start my Happy Planner. Thanks for your work!
Hi Mary Ellen! The house and tree stickerbook is super adorable! I love making lists and labeling them. Getting everything out on paper and making it pretty is always relaxing!
I love your style. I will always support your mental health breaks! Taking care of you is a win for us. Kudos to you! Thanks for your tips, hacks, shares and general awesomeness 😁
I have been a list writer for years. I love the feeling of checking things off my list. I do break them down into smaller categories but never thought to decorate my list. What a nice way to bring a little fun to my chores. Your videos have taught me a bunch; both about planning and life in general. Thank you for sharing your creativity and your journey with us. ❤❤❤ Also, thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway.
House #1 is what my favorite. Yes I would love to be in the drawing. Thanks for all you do on these videos! You brighten my day every day because I watch you daily! ❤
What a great way to categorize your tasks! Your ideas are fun and very helpful for someone like me who has a hard time staying focus sometimes. At the end of my work day, I enjoy watching your videos because they inspire me and stirs up the creative juices within me. Thank you!
I love how you set up the to do list. It makes so much sense to me. I am truly sorry you have had such a rough year. We are all here for you! Keep your head up. Sending you light and love to get through this season. Would love the planything sticker book! 😍
I found your channel over a year ago, and I have really appreciated how real you are in your videos and love your sense of humor as well as getting real and talking about the importance of good mental health. I admire you as I know this past year has been very rough for you in many ways. I never thought about categories for my To Do lists, but duh, it makes so much sense now that you mentioned it! Thanks for all the work that you do, it is much appreciated. Wishing you the best in all aspects of your life!
I never really thought of making a cute to do list with categories! But I’m new to the whole planner world! NOT planning world as I just retired from 37 years of teaching elementary grades. Planning is in my DNA! Now these stickers seem like so much fun! I’ve watched nearly all of your review videos trying to decide which planner to use come January!
I'm new to the planner world and have found your videos to be so inspiring. Whenever I get "me" time, which isn't often, I always put one of your videos on. I'm almost 40 and have been rediscovering my creativity lately in an attempt to organize the chaos in my life and bring myself some happiness. I will often put your videos on in the background, even if I'm not working in my planner. You have such a calm and peaceful voice which is so unlike most of the videos I see anymore. I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon your channel in a sea of obnoxious loud mouths. Please keep doing what you're doing. Whether you believe it or not, you are helping people (like me)! And thank you for allowing me an opportunity to enter the giveaway ☺
IM REWATCHING THIS COS IM OVERWHELMED W MOVING & SO MANY OTHER THINGS GOING ON…ONCE AGAIN THIS IS SSSO HELPFUL !! THE LIST DECOR AND EVERYTHING YOU SAID!! THK U!!
So much love for you, my planner friend. Here's to a brighter and better 2023 for you and your family. Yes, I would like to be entered for the Planything sticker book.
I definitely do games to get stuff done, especially when I am tidying up with my kids. We do a 15-minute tidy each night and race to see who can finish their area/zone the quickest. Hope you get and feel settled soon!
I love your channel. Your planner spreads are so lovely and I get much inspiration from them. But most of all, I appreciate your willingness to open up to your subscribers and show your vulnerability and your honesty. Makes me feel like I am not alone. Wishing you a brighter future and am inspired to start my own to-do list spread in my planner. XOXO
Hi MaryEllen! Love your videos! I feel very connected to you as I have also lost a son and my husband…we have a similar sense of humor and I also make up games for myself to get things done…and you are the first -lander I started watching and now I plan all the time and have a room full of supplies 😂
Thank you for being real 💜 I am so glad I found your channel when I started using planners, 3 years ago. This master to do list idea is amazing and I am on it lol. I have been so overwhelmed lately. It definitely helps for me to get it down on paper and out of my head too. Thank you for your hard work, I know this isn’t easy, and for the give away!! That is so exciting! 🤗
Mary Ellen, your creativity knows no bounds and reminds us of the beauty of each day even doing the routine in a more fun way. Your strength through struggles also is an inspiration, thank you!
I love your channel! I have enjoyed watching you create with Planything spreads. The trees and houses always are my favorites. Thanks for the chance to win one of your favorite books.
How fun! Enjoy watching your videos so much! I like seeing the "after the pen" things best- reminds me of things to do in my planner! Thanks so much for sharing your talents!
I would love to be included in your drawing. I look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing your planner journey which involves a lot of your life. Thanks for being so open with us.
I loved this video. This is just what I need. I need to start decluttering my whole house, I will make a Master List and start with one room at a time. Thanks for sharing.
I always enjoy watching your videos. You have helped keep me inspired so many times. My grandma and my step mom (both were very close and dear to me) passed away within a year of each other. I have really struggled with it. Thank you for being open about your struggles and life. It's nice to know that I am not alone in the healing process and all of us struggle sometimes.
One of the reasons I’ve found I love paper planning with stickers is making ‘to do’ lists and then being able to cross them off. Small accomplishments make you feel good!! I’d like to be entered for the Planything sticker book drawing. Thank you for the great content! I enjoy watching your videos so much!
I love your "this is how it is attitude." Thank you for all your hard work recording, adding links, & sharing your life with us. The question you posed about "which house would I choose to live in," I would probably live in house #1 but I really like the look of #2. Thank you again.🥰
This is such a great way to organize your to-do list. I agree that making the list look fun makes the tasks a little more fun as well!! I know I don’t comment much, but I love all of your content and find your channel to be so inspirational and helpful. Sending good thoughts your way. ❤️
Thanks for the great ideas for a master list. I really need to write one to help me not be so overwhelmed also. I always wrote lists and usually separated by categories but never decorated. I think I will do that next time. In the past i just used a boring desk calendar (not a decorative planner) and i found it helpful to look over my master list and pick out the things I planned to do that week and either assign them to a specific day or list on the side for anytime during that week. It helped me not to be overwhelmed by just looking at a small to do list vs everything that needs to get done. But a big master list really helped me to get organized. I stopped doing that when I switched to only using my phone (and all the scraps I jotted lists on). After losing my entire phone calendar last year, I found decorative paper planning and it has helped me so much to be productive and help with my anxiety. Thanks for all your videos and would love to get the sticker book.😊
Love your categories. I am a visual person and the stickers look like a really fun way to make the lists more appealing. I LOVE LISTS!!!! Drives my husband crazy but he loves that I get things done. Would love the stickers in your give-a-way!
I love a good master to do list. Sometimes I gotta brain dump first then organize it into categories like this which is kind of more work but it also helps me remember when I write it down a few times.
I am 100% a to do list person. I relate so much with just feeling better after getting it on paper since it’s one less thing for my brain to be focusing on. When I do a brain dump to do list I gently categorize into house chores, school work, important random items and errands. But I also am a post it note queen and have all my classes assigned a certain color and a general color for little to do lists. Definitely want to try decorating my lists sometime though. I’ve finally started decorating my planner (used to be purely functional) and it is bringing me so much joy. I absolutely love the trees and houses book and would love to be entered in the drawing.
I decorate my passion planner daily which I have a big to do/to done list and it just makes me happy to see stickers all over my page when I use it. Also mildliners to separate out items! Thanks for the chance!
I have never thought about categories for my to do lists. Game changing. I would love a chance to get the houses and trees. I have not ever heard of the Planything.
Both the division into and the decoration of catalogs are great ideas! I appreciate you and all that you share with us. I wish you healing, comfort, peace, and wisdom during this part of your life's journey. Also, I would love to enter your drawing for this cute sticker book!
Such a cute sticker book! Those houses are adorable! I make so many to-do lists but just getting things out of my head helps so much at reducing anxiety and stress!
I just love how your honesty and love for all things comes through on your videos. 🤗 I definitely need to make my always growing to do list more colorful and fun and I just love what you’ve done here! Every time I see a spread with these stickers, I just love them more and more! Keep doing a great job Mary Ellen! 💕🥰
Your to do list is a good way to remember the tasks you need to accomplish. By categorizing it you can concentrate your efforts when you're in that mode. Thanks for the inspiration. Give Bumble a hug when you are feeling sad. He will brighten your mood. Have a good day.🌺
Hi! I love this idea! I am usually a list maker and a planner however my life got crazier and I stopped… consequently I never know what I should be doing or where I should be! I love David Allen’s Getting Things Done methodology which creates lists in relation to where you are or what you have access to and your Master Task List follows that idea. I LOVE your creative spin to add JOY to a seemingly daunting task of creating the master list to begin with then enjoying checking it off by doing the stuff on the list. THANK YOU so much! I have a ton of sticker books that I usually struggle with using because I’ve never really been able to add them without destroying the actual function of the planning pages. I CAN DO THIS! I also love those sticker books so will enjoying yet even more stickers to my growing collection but now… I have hope and anticipation to combine fun with function! Have a great day! 🙂
“When it’s pretty I’m more productive!” - So very true!! Great quote, Mary Ellen!! This has been the story of my life since discovering Happy Planner!!
Such a good idea....categorizing all these lists when it just gets overwhelming. I'd love to see a spread when hosting a holiday! Things to clean, thing to buy, things to cook, who to invite, etc. Thanks for the opportunity of winning the sticker book....it's super cute!
I found you in 2020 and bought my first planner. Watching your channel has brought me so much peace. I am a 911 dispatcher and after chaotic shifts, your videos relax me. I'll never not watch your videos. You've had a rough year and I hate that for you. But, things are going to work out. One foot in front of the other. We are all rooting for you & support you. 🙌
Such pretty lists! 😍 I’m a teacher with a lot of things going on and am currently fighting anxiety. Making lists to get things out of my head has been helpful. Thank you for this video since pretty things and cute stickers make me very happy!
My OCD went into hypermode thinking you were going to do this with the paper upside down. SOOOOO glad you turned it right side up. YAY!!! I often categorize them which is how I use a vertical weekly lay out. I have never done them as beautifully as your --- yet! Thank you for the inspiration.
I love all your little games to help you get motivated to do stuff I am definitely going to take that idea and implement it in our house hold (we all need help with that!) thank you!!
I'm sitting here at my desk with so much to do and decided I needed some company while I try to sort out the 74 things I must get done within the next three days. I open up youtube, and there you are with the idea of decorating your To Do list. Bam. There you have it. Just what I needed. I only have 2 sticker books to my name, so instead of using stickers I have used some colored markers to make boxes and colored sticky dots for the checklists, and Ta Daaaaaa: a To Do list that is so much more pleasing to the eye. Thank you so much for making me feel like I am not the only one who is overwhelmed. It's good to know there are others out there who are just Smashing It by getting the most important things of the day done. Whether you think so or not right now, you are a rock star and I appreciate what you do to help others.
Oh ya.....AND I would love to enter the drawing for the sticker book. I love the houses and trees. Reminds me of places I visited years ago. Great memories.
Im sorry that you are struggling with so many things on your heart. I love how you let us see you honesty and how your planner fits into that. Thank you for sharing all you do. Praying 2023 brings you all the joy! Also, would love to win some houses and trees!
I too have to write things down to feel better, Especially finances. I love timing myself too and seeing if I can beat my time hahaha 😝 I’m happy to know someone else does this ❤️
I love making lists and loooove how your master to do list pages came out ❤ would love it if I own that book thanks for all your videos, ideas and the chance 😊
Thanks, Mary Ellen! I LOVE this list, and I am inspired to do my own - I am in dire need of one LOL!! Also picked the smallest house because some days it IS a challenge to find the motivation... Thanks again!
I just want to tell you how much I have appreciated your videos these past four months since I found you. I’m stuck home exhausted from weekly chemo and you are getting me through this time. Sometimes I watch three or four of your videos day, and sometimes I just watch all day long!! And amazingly I have not run out of videos to watch yet! Holy moly you must have hundreds.

Thank you for all the work you do to put these out, especially when you’re going through such a tough time yourself. Wishing you the best with everything and with getting settled in your new place.
And THIS is why I make videos. I'm so grateful to be able to help people in such a small way. Keep on fighting!

Categories sound so reasonable. Great suggestion
Mary Ellen, your creativity knows no bounds and reminds us of the beauty of each day even doing the routine in a more fun way. Your strength through struggles also is an inspiration, thank you!
LOVE this to do list! I couldn't survive without one.
I love your channel! I have enjoyed watching you create with Planything spreads. The trees and houses always are my favorites. Thanks for the chance to win one of your favorite books.

I’ve been wanting to do this with my stickers! I like the idea of breaking it down into categories.
I loved this video. This is just what I need. I need to start decluttering my whole house, I will make a Master List and start with one room at a time. Thanks for sharing.
I always enjoy watching your videos. You have helped keep me inspired so many times. My grandma and my step mom (both were very close and dear to me) passed away within a year of each other. I have really struggled with it. Thank you for being open about your struggles and life. It's nice to know that I am not alone in the healing process and all of us struggle sometimes.

Thanks for the great ideas for a master list. I really need to write one to help me not be so overwhelmed also. I always wrote lists and usually separated by categories but never decorated.

Thanks for all your videos and would love to get the sticker book.😊
Love your categories. I am a visual person and the stickers look like a really fun way to make the lists more appealing. I LOVE LISTS!!!! Drives my husband crazy but he loves that I get things done. Would love the stickers in your give-a-way!
You taught me so much about planning, you were the one who actually got me hooked 😂 thank you for inspiring me
I love the trees. I need to create a master list for our transition into retirement at the end of 2023.
I love a good master to do list. Sometimes I gotta brain dump first then organize it into categories like this which is kind of more work but it also helps me remember when I write it down a few times.
I make lists like this because I can't function without. I would like to be in the drawing. Thank you for being so true in your videos.
I am 100% a to do list person. I relate so much with just feeling better after getting it on paper since it’s one less thing for my brain to be focusing on.

But I also am a post it note queen and have all my classes assigned a certain color and a general color for little to do lists. Definitely want to try decorating my lists sometime though. I’ve finally started decorating my planner (used to be purely functional) and it is bringing me so much joy. I absolutely love the trees and houses book and would love to be entered in the drawing.
The first page of the valentines houses made me buy this book!
Oh wow!! I have never thought about categorizing my to do! Thank you so much!!!
I always love how your pages turn out. I hope things settled down for you soon.
So smart to make to do list like that. 😃 I always get overwhelmed when I have a long list, this is so much prettier.
House #1! With a big yard, and a creek close by. 🥰
I decorate my passion planner daily which I have a big to do/to done list and it just makes me happy to see stickers all over my page when I use it. Also mildliners to separate out items! Thanks for the chance!
Good on you Mary Ellen. Thanks for the great idea
I have never thought about categories for my to do lists. Game changing. I would love a chance to get the houses and trees. I have not ever heard of the Planything.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels overwhelmed by all the things that need to be done. I like how you set up categories! Thank you for sharing!❤
Both the division into and the decoration of catalogs are great ideas! I appreciate you and all that you share with us. I wish you healing, comfort, peace, and wisdom during this part of your life's journey.
Also, I would love to enter your drawing for this cute sticker book!
Love this idea! Would love houses & trees!
Such a cute sticker book! Those houses are adorable! I make so many to-do lists but just getting things out of my head helps so much at reducing anxiety and stress!
I really loved the lists! It's inspiring me to decorate my to do lists.
I just love how your honesty and love for all things comes through on your videos. 🤗 I definitely need to make my always growing to do list more colorful and fun and I just love what you’ve done here! Every time I see a spread with these stickers, I just love them more and more! Keep doing a great job Mary Ellen! 💕🥰
Your to do list is a good way to remember the tasks you need to accomplish. By categorizing it you can concentrate your efforts when you're in that mode. Thanks for the inspiration. Give Bumble a hug when you are feeling sad. He will brighten your mood. Have a good day.🌺
Hi! I love this idea! I am usually a list maker and a planner however my life got crazier and I stopped… consequently I never know what I should be doing or where I should be! I love David Allen’s Getting Things Done methodology which creates lists in relation to where you are or what you have access to and your Master Task List follows that idea. I LOVE your creative spin to add JOY to a seemingly daunting task of creating the master list to begin with then enjoying checking it off by doing the stuff on the list. THANK YOU so much! I have a ton of sticker books that I usually struggle with using because I’ve never really been able to add them without destroying the actual function of the planning pages. I CAN DO THIS! I also love those sticker books so will enjoying yet even more stickers to my growing collection but now… I have hope and anticipation to combine fun with function! Have a great day! 🙂
Another great idea. I make lists all the time, but, never thought to decorate them. Thanks Mary Ellen.
“When it’s pretty I’m more productive!” - So very true!! Great quote, Mary Ellen!! This has been the story of my life since discovering Happy Planner!!
Love it!!!! I like master list over brain dump indeed! Super cute books!
Thanks for the drawing. I would like to be included. I love how she creates the majority of the stickers to be able to make your own scenes.
Enjoy your videos. Always looking for ways to help with stress and getting things done. Thank you for this idea.
Such a good idea....categorizing all these lists when it just gets overwhelming. I'd love to see a spread when hosting a holiday! Things to clean, thing to buy, things to cook, who to invite, etc. Thanks for the opportunity of winning the sticker book....it's super cute!
👍🏻 I do decorate my To Do lists also but haven’t done categories. That’s a great idea. 💡
I found you in 2020 and bought my first planner. Watching your channel has brought me so much peace. I am a 911 dispatcher and after chaotic shifts, your videos relax me. I'll never not watch your videos.
You've had a rough year and I hate that for you. But, things are going to work out. One foot in front of the other. We are all rooting for you & support you. 🙌
Thank you so much Mary Ellen for this video. It definitely inspired me to create my own master to-do lists. I would also love the sticker book!
I love the houses and trees 🌳 stickers!
Such pretty lists! 😍 I’m a teacher with a lot of things going on and am currently fighting anxiety. Making lists to get things out of my head has been helpful. Thank you for this video since pretty things and cute stickers make me very happy!
My OCD went into hypermode thinking you were going to do this with the paper upside down. SOOOOO glad you turned it right side up. YAY!!!
I often categorize them which is how I use a vertical weekly lay out. I have never done them as beautifully as your --- yet! Thank you for the inspiration.
I never thought about separating tasks. 😮 Thank you for doing this contest 🤞🏼❤️
I love all your little games to help you get motivated to do stuff I am definitely going to take that idea and implement it in our house hold (we all need help with that!) thank you!!
I need to make a master to do list like this! I have been feeling so unmotivated lately, but writing things down really helps me.
I'm sitting here at my desk with so much to do and decided I needed some company while I try to sort out the 74 things I must get done within the next three days. I open up youtube, and there you are with the idea of decorating your To Do list. Bam. There you have it. Just what I needed. I only have 2 sticker books to my name, so instead of using stickers I have used some colored markers to make boxes and colored sticky dots for the checklists, and Ta Daaaaaa: a To Do list that is so much more pleasing to the eye. Thank you so much for making me feel like I am not the only one who is overwhelmed. It's good to know there are others out there who are just Smashing It by getting the most important things of the day done. Whether you think so or not right now, you are a rock star and I appreciate what you do to help others.
Oh ya.....AND I would love to enter the drawing for the sticker book. I love the houses and trees. Reminds me of places I visited years ago. Great memories.
Im with you on making a list and using planner to feel less overwhelmed when I have lots to do.
Im sorry that you are struggling with so many things on your heart. I love how you let us see you honesty and how your planner fits into that. Thank you for sharing all you do. Praying 2023 brings you all the joy! Also, would love to win some houses and trees!
I worked on my to do list while watching! I love how you chose the stickers for each section. I would love to enter and I love the cozy cabins!
Yay! You picked the one I would've picked!
I too have to write things down to feel better, Especially finances. I love timing myself too and seeing if I can beat my time hahaha 😝 I’m happy to know someone else does this ❤️
I love making lists and loooove how your master to do list pages came out ❤ would love it if I own that book thanks for all your videos, ideas and the chance 😊
Thanks, Mary Ellen! I LOVE this list, and I am inspired to do my own - I am in dire need of one LOL!! Also picked the smallest house because some days it IS a challenge to find the motivation... Thanks again!
