You don't embarrass yourself by trying new things, just the opposite, show how open minded and courageous you are to give it a try! I really like real time planning! And how cute it still turns out!
This spread is still beautiful even if it’s not your norm. I actually really love how you marked your classes. It calls them out really well and sometimes a change is nice
Helen, I use a similar “color blocking” as your friend. I use a metal ruler and draw the color in with the “chisel” side of the MildLiner. It fits perfectly in the grid box. Like your friend, I set it one block away from the “numbers”. I don’t outline it at all. I do this for work (dark gray) and sleep (pink for sleep, blue for awake). That way, I can see these at a glance. In the end, if it doesn’t work for you, let it go. You will find “the shoe that fits”. 🙂
I like the way she did hers but I also love the way you did it. So see the so called mess up has now become something I'm going to try. I love the way it looks the way you did it. So I'm really glad you did "mess up".....
I like the way your vertical bars came out. I’m going to try it for my lecture times. I think it really stands out, which is what I want to see in mine.
thanks for sharing your spread Helen! even though there may be new things you tried that you didnt like, it happens to everyone. cant wait for your vlog next week!!
I usually rip my washi against the blade, I just make the blade longer so it lies flat. I love that you're taking yourself out on a date! More ppl should do this, don't always need to go with other ppl. I hope you had a lovely Valentines aka galentines, aka singleawarenssday lol If you want to calc 24 time all you have to remember is + or - 12...e.g. say you want to know what 9pm is, 9+12= 21. If you want to know what 1800hrs is, 18-12=6. Another fun fact- when you multiply the numbers on the clock by 5, you get the minutes of the clock.
I’m starting to realise the reason I can’t get as much done as you is simple - I have kids! They drain the life out of me! Love your spread and the bars as think I might use this for appointments my kids have as it draws the eye more than the arrows (which is what I’ll continue to use for my own things). Thank you!
I always watch these as I plan in my digital planner. Also, I definitely don't think you are embarrassing yourself by trying new things in these vlogs - I love seeing new ways on how people plan! (Also, if you are looking for assistants, I work from home as an Executive Assistant in the Eastern Time Zone and would love to hear more about the opportunity when it comes along)
I think you are so brave to share your struggles with mental health and I really hope that this week is better one! 💕💕💕 It can be such an intense struggle sometimes 😖 But you speaking out about it helps a lot of people!! Love you and have a blessed and safe week!! 😘
I feel 10:06 so much - I've been trying to play around with things too and while I often allow myself to use correction tape pretty liberally, I always feel stuck if it's over the numbers, or if I have to write something else on top of it! Thanks for sharing your process with us - it makes me feel like it's OK to make mistakes and play around.
I got two excited when I heard you say you need to hire help 🙌🏾🙌🏾 so happy you thought of this because I can see that you do a lot on your own. Consider hiring one assistant then having that assistant supervise interns to also help with the shop.
I think the shaded bars really make the class times standout from the other text. I will have to implement something similar because it does help my eyes be drawn to the area
omg i 30 minute video. I love it! I do love your longer videos, understandable that they're harder to edit, so it feels like such a treat to see them! i also actually really liked the way you time block and might try it next week! good luck on midterms! make sure you schedule a self care day for no work and no studying
I’ve literally waited the whole week for a new video, and this shows how addicted I am to your channel! I love everything you do and your videos are so distressing that I watch it everyday before sleeping. Thanks for such a great content and for being so cute! Can’t wait for my first sticker order to arrive 🤩
You really do amaze me, how much you do, and do so well - you're such a good role model. Despite all my planning, I never get everything done (sometimes not even half). LOL I usually blame my life-long insomnia, for running out of steam and procrastinating, or aking forever to complete tasks. Which is why whenever you criticize yourself I just want to yell NOOOO, you're awesome! Really, your videos ARE the best, they're so soothing - a much needed pick-me-up. I've tried to find other channels to fill in when I can't wait for Sunday, but I haven't found any that compare to TCMC. Which is why I often find myself re-watching your old videos multiple times. Anyway, thank you for all the great content! ♥
I like the shading actually, I may do that in my calendar next week. If you hate it, maybe consider super thin strips of washi to show time blocks? I am always looking for ways to add more washi! 😊 But how do you block for downtime? When is your downtime?
I use arrows like yours to mark meetings and appointments, i highlight just inside the left column line to mark hours i am actually working/on the clock. I leave a bit of white space between the two. This works for me because i flex my work schedule but need to track total hours.
🍃🌷🍃I love you’re planning videos. I always want this planner when I see you plan in it😅Hold on Helen,not long now before school end and summer is here🌞I almost can’t wait🤗I also like to read but right now I only read school books🤓📚. Have a great week and be safe🍃🌷🍃
I really like the shaded boxes. I think when you look at the first one, which is out of the norm, yes, it looks out of place, but after all was said and done, it actually looked really nice!! :)
❤❤❤ I enjoy these so much. After three years of my own bullet journaling I seem to be getting more involved in it. And thank you for mentioning that book - Empire of Pain. I'm studying public health and majoring in alcohol, tobacco and other drugs so I find it very relevant reading. I'm getting it right now.
I love seeing you experiment in your journal! I personally struggle to find ways to plan my weeks, and this will give me something new to try :) thank you for these videos! Keeping me motivated to keep up with my own too
Love this washi and also love this kit! I'm in such a dilemma now because I also wish to post my spreads on the Facebook group and engage with the community but I'm so shy to let ppl see, particularly my work related items... As always, thank you so much for sharing, despite all the awkwardness that happened during real time PWMs 😅
I really enjoy watching your plan! You give me lots and lots of inspiration and courage to try new things! Btw, when you post the assistant job I would love to try out! Have a great week Helen!
I love your plan with me’s! but hearing all of the negative self talk you do REALLY takes a toll on the viewer! I can only imagine what goes on inside your head if this is how you present to the world. Girlie you are good, you are smart, and you are hardworking!
I agree! When I hear that it makes me want to give her a hug 🤗 she is an amazing person and it makes me sad to hear how hard on herself she is! 😢 Just had a random funny thought, she needs some to just stand next to her and continuously compliment her (like that one scene in the good place if you've seen that tv show 😁) that'd help counteract that negative self talk. 😆 Your comment was nice to read though, I think at least we can help in this way by saying positive things in comments. 💕
Also agree, I was watching an earlier video and she said she was too anxious to ask the flight attendant how to turn on the overhead light 😢 That’s heartbreaking ❤️🩹 Girl, get help! ❤
If you can’t get to the gym, you can always do a home workout through UA-cam or some other fitness streaming platform such as BeachBody or maybe look into investing in something like a Peloton bike. I don’t go to the gym at all because I use a fitness platform called OpenFit to work out at home. It has different types of programs such as HIIT, strength training, Pilates, yoga, etc. It also offers monthly live workouts and challenges.
In terms of how to cut washi without cutting though the page, I can also do it. I would say it is pure experience but here are some tips 1. cutting though washi and other paper have very different feel, probably from texture of paper 2. try start the cut slightly outside of the washi to get a sense of how deep the underlying paper is 3. go light when in doubt, having a second pass do not hurt and you can always rip the washi along a line you partially cut though
I love your videos, I could watch you planning in real time every Sunday. I have a question, what do you do with the planners, bujos and hobonichis when you finish to use them?
I'm so sad that I bought my first Hobonichi in 2020 and ended up having to waste most of it because we didn't do anything. And now I don't really need an hourly but I reeeeallly wanna go back to one. Maybe next year.
I just use the weekly pages for non-hourly stuff, ie I just ignore the numbers and use the space. Right now I'm using the weekly section as a gratitude log actually, I love how flexible the pages are in the Cousin 😁👍
Hey Helen do you think when you get a slight break from all the school work and stuff that you could try to make a few more Hobonichi cousin kits? I've already got everyone you've made already and I just love the way you make them. Not alot of shops make those.
This is the Hobonichi Cousin! Keep in mind that most vertical stickers are 1.5" wide whereas the Cousin is 1.3" wide. You need to get stickers specifically labelled as for the Cousin!
Why are you having such a hard time hearing her? I don’t put my volume up very high and I can still hear. Also, if you’re looking for more mature stickers, I have some sellers I can recommend to you. You may want to look into RoseColoredDaze.
@@charlenejo2490 That would be wonderful! Thank you for the suggestion. Every video it is hard to hear her voice, but not with other people who post videos.

Planning, drinking coffee, and watching a Helens plan with me is such a cozy Sunday afternoon ❤️
Hehehe I like this routine ;) Thank you!

Happy Sunday Helen. Sending you more positive vibes. 💞💞💞
Love these real time plan videos. I grab my stuff and plan along. It’s like a chill crafternoon hangout ☺️☺️
Thank you Kaeli! I'm so glad to hear this

Love it! So precious. I don’t see how you do it all. Blessings.
I like how the vertical bars stand out, it draws my eye to the really important things! Beautiful spread as always!
Thank you so much Suze!!
Try not to be so hard on yourself, Helen. We think everything you do is pretty awesome. 💕 Have a great week. 😊
Hi Helen! This is a gorgeous spread! Sending you good vibes! You can do this! Don’t let a tough week get you down! Lots of love ❤️
Thank you so much Zaynah! Have a wonderful week ahead!

Ooo I do hope it works out for your planner!!

Awesome hobonichi weekly spread and can't wait for daily journaling spread for Valentine's Day
I usually rip my washi against the blade, I just make the blade longer so it lies flat.

Liked the stripped time slot bar better than just the color coded ones 👍🏽
Thank you!!!
im always waiting for your videos and you always go above and beyond my expectations ugh love you 😆
Love you more! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work each week. We love it
I really like the bars to block off time👍i think it looks good

YAY Thank you Cindy!!! Have a lovely week ahead
I like the shading actually, I may do that in my calendar next week. If you hate it, maybe consider super thin strips of washi to show time blocks? I am always looking for ways to add more washi! 😊
But how do you block for downtime? When is your downtime?
I hope you love it!!! Haha I don't have much downtime but when I do, I typically pick a sticker for the special occasion!!!
I use arrows like yours to mark meetings and appointments, i highlight just inside the left column line to mark hours i am actually working/on the clock. I leave a bit of white space between the two. This works for me because i flex my work schedule but need to track total hours.
Haha I'm also going to "take myself out on a date" tomorrow! Also I relate to struggling to convert the 24-hr style to 12-hr in the Hobonichi
Yessss solo date sare fun!
This was so fun to watch. Watching your videos is a calming thing for me to do. I love you beautiful ♥️
🍃🌷🍃I love you’re planning videos. I always want this planner when I see you plan in it😅Hold on Helen,not long now before school end and summer is here🌞I almost can’t wait🤗I also like to read but right now I only read school books🤓📚. Have a great week and be safe🍃🌷🍃

hi, lovely! don't be embarrased to try new things, it keeps it interesting! i think you nailed it, either way

I seriously admire how you plan. So chill, so organized, and still managed to look so beautiful! I am also excited for the anniversary sale
Beautiful spread as always. LOVE YOUUUU!!! 🥰💕💕
Thank you so much!! Love you more!!
I love watching your videos
Thank you Janet!
I love your stickers I have purchased several and have more on order.
I think the blocking you did looks really cool! Its a lovely looking spread
Another great vid where I got more tips from you to try out in mine! Love and miss you! See you soon!!!
Thank you Helen!!! ONE MORE WEEK!
I really enjoy your videos!
Glad you like them!!
I enjoy watching your longer videos. So I can hear your voice more 🤩💕
I used the same kit for this week because I knew my TCMC orders were coming in! 😍💕
This kit is so cute!! ❤️
What an amazing planner spread! 💫 Keep rising to be who you want to be! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser
I really enjoy watching your plan! You give me lots and lots of inspiration and courage to try new things! Btw, when you post the assistant job I would love to try out! Have a great week Helen!
Always enjoy your pwms! Please do more chatty/IRL videos!
fun idea - do a video like this but no talking and just like ASMR! i’d watch it for hours on repeat 😍
I love your plan with me’s! but hearing all of the negative self talk you do REALLY takes a toll on the viewer! I can only imagine what goes on inside your head if this is how you present to the world. Girlie you are good, you are smart, and you are hardworking!

Soooo cute!!!😍😍😍

I find your videos so relaxing to watch. What is the brand of the black pen you use please?
Aw thank you Hazel! Pilot Hybrid Technica 0.4 :)
I love your videos, I could watch you planning in real time every Sunday. I have a question, what do you do with the planners, bujos and hobonichis when you finish to use them?
Thank you so much!!! They just sit on a shelf! It's fun to flip-through every few years and reminisce ^_^
Love your videos!!
Is there a video on how you plan/use your monthly section?
Please tell me why I gasped with you when you couldn't find the work sticker for a moment. :)
Can you tell me the exact planner this is please? Size etc..
and where is best to buy one x
I'm so sad that I bought my first Hobonichi in 2020 and ended up having to waste most of it because we didn't do anything. And now I don't really need an hourly but I reeeeallly wanna go back to one. Maybe next year.

When you use a regular kit (not a Hobo kit) do you trim the edges to fit it in the weekly column?
You can definitely do that! I don't really use kits in my HC typically but when I do, it's always meant for the HC!
Hi Beautiful, I love your spreads; instead of thinking something as a mistake, turn it into a happy accident! LOTS OF LOVE AND PRAYERS!😘
Hey Helen do you think when you get a slight break from all the school work and stuff that you could try to make a few more Hobonichi cousin kits? I've already got everyone you've made already and I just love the way you make them. Not alot of shops make those.
At what time of the day you do this?
i love your videos
Thank you Gul!
How long do you make a phone call on Monday?
Which exact planner is that? The stickers are a little too big in my Cousin.
This is the Hobonichi Cousin! Keep in mind that most vertical stickers are 1.5" wide whereas the Cousin is 1.3" wide. You need to get stickers specifically labelled as for the Cousin!
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo ok - I will try to look at that information
her shop's stickers does not sell in india i want them so bad
When is your 6 yr anniversary?
March 5th! But our sale will be a bit later than that ^_^
How much do you sleep? It seems like you are up very late and wake up very early - I would die lol
You are so soft spoken that it is hard to hear you an maybe you need a microphone? Do you have more mature stickers?
Why are you having such a hard time hearing her? I don’t put my volume up very high and I can still hear. Also, if you’re looking for more mature stickers, I have some sellers I can recommend to you. You may want to look into RoseColoredDaze.
