I use a mini dashboard layout for my life & a mini horizontal layout for journaling. I decorate every week just to make it more fun to look at. I found if it’s cute & inspirational I use it more. IDKY but making it all cute w/stickers just makes it not only a useful tool for my life & home & mental health but also a fun hobby that really helps me to sit down & focus one one thing for a bit. Great tool for my ADHD!! But my OCD makes it a little time consuming making sure each sticker is placed just so 😂
After years of trying different types of planners I finally found a system I love. I had a mini notebook and found small business on Etsy who has a planning page that I love.
Thank you for the inspiration! I just bought my mini planner today (2024 Bright Pops Happy Planner - Mini Dashboard Layout - 12 Months) and will use it as my "catch all" ... I will put items from both my work planner and home planner in this one which will always be with me!!!
Hello my name is Angelrose and I just ordered from the happy planner 5 mini happy notes not the planner because I am a lined page or blank page writing down lists kind of planner❤❤❤. I realized that small sized pocket sized notebooks are what is easy for me to use because you can carry your small journals in any size bag and you can fill up a page because the pages are small. The notebooks are great for writing down your lists and rough planning😊😊😊. This is a very nice and informative video thank you for sharing 🌈🌈🌈
I use a mini with expander discs. I pretty much use the month page plus blank pages for journaling and thoughts. I have sections in the back to track medical info, vacation time and other stuff. The mini discs are just too small! I do like to have the whole year with me, but have stopped using the weekly pages. I do prefer metal discs as they turn better. I still fiddle with it because I haven’t obtained planner peace yet.
Hey Mickie! I like your setup. Sometimes we just need that calendar and a place for notes! Metal discs for sure. Planner peace...I'm not sure it's possible. As long as you have a planner system that works for you, then you've got it.
I just found your channel and I love it!! I also use a mini for on the go! I bet if you put the sticker book in 1st then the mini it would all fit! Then just take the mini out before you remove the sticker book. Now I think I need a new mini and a purse!! I look forward to seeing part 2 of this! I'm subscribing right away! Thank you for sharing this with us!
I love the dashboard layout, but switched back to the vertical this year. I use the mini vertical as my main catch-all planner. Halfway through the year and so far I don't regret it 😂.
@@darlenelozada1360 Good idea I have not done an after the pen in awhile. My writing is too big for a mini vertical. I e been kinda journaling in the classic.
See I’m going to be broke lol I have the Coach camera bag and the mini fits it. Here I am “clicks on link” yeah I need another bag 😂😂😂. Let me sub to you I see this being a good healthy relationship 😂❤️
I use my Coach bags every day so it's a very good value investment. I like that they are nice, but compared to luxury bags, way more reasonably priced. The cheaper bags just don't last and then you have to buy more, so really, we're saving money. (wink-wink) 😉
I ordered this planner and the same discs to match it! I can’t wait till it gets here this week! 😭😍 I also ordered a skinny mini bundle thingy and I’m excited for that too especially for journaling
@@vmsmith874 I’m quite sure they are no longer available. I bought a bunch of them when they released. At this point you just have to pick up whatever is the current design and make it your own. You can add number stickers and box stickers to make a priorities worksheet.
My handwriting is too big for the mini vertical so I tend not to use that layout, but I love the larger vertical layout. The mini vertical perfect for tracking three things a day like meals, three things you want to check off, or three other categories like exercise: cardio, weights, yoga and you can check off or put a sticker in each box when you've completed it.
I was so excited when I first saw this mini dashboard until I watched the flip thru on HP website & noticed EVERY month & EVERY week were decorated exactly the SAME! 😡 Really wish they’d taken more time on this planner or left it plain for us. The only plain mini dashboard that’s come out in the last 2 releases that was plain Jane was the Ink & Arbor but that sold out so fast!! 😞 They know what we all want, so why not make them that way? Bring back all the mini goodies!!! They never make any mini goodies anymore! Bookmarks, folders, dashboards, covers…accessories in general 🤷🏼♀️ come on Happy Planner!!! Help us Mini users go crazy & put out some mini stuff!!! 😊
The page in front of the monthly dividers does not work for me as well. I revamped my mini and put that page on the right side of the monthly calendar and on the dividers changed it to a dashboard. I did this by taping another card stock to it. And I have a month calendar for my mini.
Hi, I’m Mona, I had already subscribed with my old account @parkitloveit and now I found you again with this new UA-cam Premium account.

Thank you for making all those videos 🌷
Hi Mona!! So glad you're enjoying the videos!. I'm working on trying to figure out a way to make more content while being very busy! I like step by step, so that's what I try to share.

I use my mini for everything and love it! I use the expansion metal discs to have the whole year and other sections too
I have a personal size filofax in my purse for grocery lists and last minute thoughts. No decoration, just lists.
Right, a place to put those things you think of on the go!
Very pretty set up.
I also prefer the mini because it’s very handy and I can carry it around all the time. I also do the setup for 6 months!!😊
Yes, I get ideas and remember things at random times and those thoughts will fly away if I don't catch them in my planner, so best to have it with me!
I like the dashboard layout

@@patsilver2881 Awesome! Is it like a daily page so you have one page per day?
I actually found planner peace with the mini!!! I love it TIA
I love that it fits in my purse and I can bring it with me everywhere!

Exactly! How do you like the "Bright Pops?" mini?
Love the purple
It's so pretty!

Love this black cover. I would use larger discs.
You're so right, should have mentioned about keeping everything on the classic discs! I mentioned it in the part 2 video.

@@val929 thank you so much!!! 💗
I love this! Such a cute setup! And the beautiful pen matches perfectly 😍
Gotta love the matching Crystal VB Pen!
I love the dashboard layout, but switched back to the vertical this year. I use the mini vertical as my main catch-all planner. Halfway through the year and so far I don't regret it 😂.
That's really good if you're still using it after 6 months, it means your planning SYSTEM works for you!
Would love to see how u use your vertical. I am trying to use a mini for all starting August 😮
@@darlenelozada1360 Good idea I have not done an after the pen in awhile. My writing is too big for a mini vertical. I e been kinda journaling in the classic.
@@darlenelozada1360 I plan to do a flip through of my mini vertical on my channel and IG soon.
Yay

YAY!! did you get it yet? How's it going?
The discs didn’t fit all the pages I had to keep it on the plastic blue ones it came with ): and great idea! Ima try my skinny mini for that too!
@@Juli-vc9kq You can fit everything if you get classic/medium sized discs.
@@ThePlannerChannel ooo okay thank you!
I have been looking all over for some more priority pages and can't find them no where
@@vmsmith874 I’m quite sure they are no longer available. I bought a bunch of them when they released. At this point you just have to pick up whatever is the current design and make it your own. You can add number stickers and box stickers to make a priorities worksheet.

Yes yes and yes. We want more and different and more. I've been thinking about designing my own planner. Maybe I'll make what we want.
Good morning my name is Tewona and I’m using my mini planner for personal use
Hey Tewona! Which layout and design do you have?
@@ThePlannerChannel dashboard
I use a mini for my purse. It is what I call my rough planner. No decor, just plans, notes, and lists.
Hmmm.. Rough Planner, all the ideas. Do you have a decorative planner too for all the stickers?
@@ThePlannerChannel I do. I like to decorate my classic catchall planner. I use my mini for just writing all the things!
The page in front of the monthly dividers does not work for me as well. I revamped my mini and put that page on the right side of the monthly calendar and on the dividers changed it to a dashboard. I did this by taping another card stock to it. And I have a month calendar for my mini.
I wish they would move it to after the tab! Good job making it your own!
Why do you want both covers?
I like the had surface for writing, but I ended up taking it off this one so I could see the pretty cover! 🤣
Hate the snap covers. They’re always so hard to turn. Doubt it’s the fullness, bet it’s just the cover.
@@beccab9724 some are better than others. I ended up removing the snap cover.
I’ve only ever used a mini for brain dumping never as a planner.
It's a great place to catch thoughts on the go!

It's hard to let it go when it's not "perfect". sometime, I am ok with it, sometimes it has to move! Glad you're enjoying your planning and stickers.
