    ♥ Frequently Asked Questions ♥
    Q: Do you plan before, during, or after the week?
    A: It varies from video to video, but typically I plan 2-3 times during the week and stitch the clips together. I rarely plan the entire week in advance or the entire week retroactively.
    Q: Do you use all of these planners?
    A: Yes and no. Every week, there is something in my life that takes priority over the others whether it be school, work, or something personal. Depending on the week, I select a few planners that will help me achieve my tasks! So not every planner is used every week.
    Q: How do you get so much done in a day?
    A: If you watch any of my journaling vlogs, you’ll realize that I have very poor sleeping habits and so naturally I’m able to fit more things into the day. It’s something I’m trying to fix but admittedly this is the only reason.

    Helen, the fact that your nails aren't always in perfect shape makes you more endearing and relatable. As we like to say here in the Deep South, "It's all good!"

    I love that you share both the good and the bad. As most of us look up to creators like yourself, it is nice to know that we ALL go through it sometimes and it's not always as sunshines and rainbows as it may seem on social media. I'm sorry you had bad mental health days, and I hope you're managing and resting well. Wishing you all the success on your anniversary sale! Sending you all the loveee ❤

    Helen, turn your personal planner with the tabs inside so when you zip it close they won’t get wonky. Take care of yourself & nail day should be a self care day. Go get a facial & message too! You’re doing a great job! Love your creativity 🥰

  • @marzettik
    @marzettik Рік тому

    Your such a typical Canadian apologizing for everything. It’s all good. 😊 I know you enjoy your work but it really feels like all you do is work. Maybe all these “resets”, were your body’s way of telling you to slow down a bit. Maybe start off by scheduling in more me time into your planner. And absolutely put it in your work planner because slowing down and taking care of yourself is work too. Big hugs, hope you feel better soon. ❤

    To protect your tabs on your hobonichi weeks, you should turn your journal around the other way in the pouch, that way the tabs won't face the zipper

    The way to avoid ripping your monthly tabs off of your weekly planner is to put it in the case 180° rotated so that the tabs do not come in contact with the zipper

    Hi Helen! Regarding the Hobonichi Weeks tabs getting stuck in the cover zipper, you could put the Weeks front side down inside the zippered cover. That way the tabs would be on the inside away from the zipper. Hopefully I explained that well enough. I love your videos and thanks so much for all you do. Very excited for the anniversary sale. 😃

    I totally paused the video to copy your congee recipe. I painted my nails yesterday and they already look like I etched on them for some reason. I love book clubs, I am in 2 from my local library. One is virtual (never went back to in person after covid) and the other one is in person. I love watching your videos. My alarm should be ringing in about 4 minutes for the anniversary sale. Yeah, I'm binge watching your videos today 😃

    I think the issue you might have been having with the first "chaotic" spread was that there was no visual anchor on the page - the second "chaotic" page your eyes can flow across the images at the top and then down to the small pops of color throughout the page.

    Hi Helen, I am wanting to use the top checkboxes on the cousin daily spread for my win list (by Amy Landino). I wondered if you could do a spread that uses this section. I would love to see how you would do it and make it look nice. I hope you are having a great day. Thank you for sharing all that you do 💖

    Someone may have mentioned this but I was thinking about your tabs tearing/getting caught and thought you could place the planner in the zipper cover with the tabs facing towards the center of the zipper cover so the spine of your planner is facing the zipper.
