Now that's a nice looking stack 😉😉. In my wellness planner I do small wins. There were days when I felt like I got nothing accomplished and I started beating myself up. It's really been helpful. I also track my mood. I'm liking the monthly printables 🤔🤔 and I miss using an Ashley Shelly monthly this year. I could still grab one **shifty eyes** 😁😁Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video! You kept me company while I was cooking dinner and cleaning up. (I'm so not a fan of cooking, but goal this year is to try 20 new recipes!) I'm glad you found the best planners for your lifestyle and you're right! You need planners that do what you want them to do! My planner stack for 2020: ECLP Vertical neutral for weekly planning/memory deco planning. ECLP academic vertical for work but this is my last week in it,. It wasn't serving me for my work and on 2/3/20 I will be starting a new personalized DAILY planner from Plum Paper. (I am SO excited you'll be reviewing these soon). My 'die if I lost it" and the one I really really really use is the daily petite planner. I love it so much! I also am using the EC monthly pp planner for overview and blank note pages to jot down little things, track some online shopping (yikes), and add Sprocket pictures! I'm buying the meal planner from EC, too, and will try meal planning. I also have the Power Sheets. I'm struggling with them but am trying again in February (and will do Tending Tuesdays) to work little by little. I have the kikkik 3 year sentence a day journal, and a gratitude one by habit nest, but will switch to something else soon (it does 90 days worth) I think that's it :).
I think I’m going to try a calendar method for the video planning like you have done on the clipboard. We’re about to move this year and I want to get a giant dry erase wall calendar so that the video prompts stay visible at all times. I’ve been lax about my power sheets! Whoops. I love, love, loved this video.
Oh, man....We've only bought 2 homes (the second one we are still in:) And 2 apartments before that. So we haven't moved much in 21 years. I am very adverse to moving....so my heart goes out to you!
You picked some great planners Amanda. Love to hear your thought process 🤗 I’m trying a few different planners & layouts this year but I seem to really consistently love planning in my Ashley Shelly planner. 😊 Happy planning!
I am using an unbound planner for my main planner, a plum paper notebook for my family journal, a some lines a day 5 year journal and a reading journal/planner I got in a book subscription box
Love hearing your line up:) So happy to hear you are also using the Some lines a Day Journal. That one brings me so much joy over the years;) Have a great week!
Amanda's Favorites I love that you flip to a new page each day too, it really makes you feel like you are making progress, even though we’re only a month into the new year.
Amanda, I’m new to your channel and I’m very much enjoying it and benefiting from it so thank you. Forgive me if you have answered this question many times before. Where do you get the stickers in your Erin Condren? Are they hers? Thank you, Page.
No worries:) I am always open to questions;) All the Stickers in my Erin Condren are her stickers...yes:) A lot of them are from her Monthly Edition sticker book (edition 5 is her most recent one out). The rest are her individual sticker sheets. Welcome here & have a good week:)
Amanda- I so love your videos- thank you so much for what you do! Question: what do you do when you have your week all planned out and then just life... and the whole thing's shot- do you mark stuff out or just turn the page and move on? I find this kinda discouraging to look back in a busy week that had a bunch of unanticipated stuff and see all the things I was hoping to do, but didn't get done. Thanks!
I don't usually fill in my days in my "daily planner" with all my To Do's until the night before or the morning of. But honestly there are many things each day that don't get done. I have never had a week where everything is crossed out. I go in hoping my BIG 3 for the week the get and if they do then I feel great. If I spent time with my kids and took care of my family that is what matters the most to me.
@@AmandasFavorites Great advice- right, good to remember what matters most! Thanks so much for replying- I squealed when I saw I had a reply from you. You've inspired me to do something for my "daily" days- my EC LifePlanner is good for the week at a glance, but I like lists and stuff for each day- I think I'm gonna try EC petite planners as I already have a folio I really love. Thanks so much again, for all that you do!!
I think it’s cool your older kid went from public school to private. My oldest is 17 and after having been let down by our (supposedly amazing) public schools, I would love to do that too but I feel like at this point why bother. Do you feel like it was a good change? Is there regret or do you feel like he’s learning much more now? I applaud you for doing what is best by your kids!
He made the decision 100% on his own...Since I started homeschooling my younger son a few years earlier he always knew it was an option for him...and for about a year he went back and forth. It's hard to leave the "system"...it's scary (for him not me;) But he is 100% happier now, learning so much more, and he said it was life changing and so glad he finally did it:) Most of his friends are from church and he sees them M-Th in a bible study class that happens early morning before school at our church building. and he has church activities with them on Wednesday nights and Sundays. He hasn't missed school one bit. Best of luck making the best decision with your son. I know it's not easy!
Hi Amanda I am a new subscriber. I have watched many of your videos and I still can't narrow down the proper planner for me. I need something that I can plan my classes in, my goals, appointments, and budget. Do you have any suggestions? Thank You So Much
I think your best options would be Golden Coil, Plum Paper, InkWell Press, or the Happy Planner. With all of those you can "build your own planner" and include all the pages you need. Other good options that I think you could also get all those needs in are Passion Planner, and Unbound.
EC seems to have discontinued their clipboards. At least, they aren't on the site anymore and they had never released them in current designs. I love those clipboards, I have several. If I'd known they were going away I might have had to order a few more!
Hi Amanda! Do you know if they make them for the 2021 through2025? Thanks I’m really considering getting a 5 year journal. I would love to see how God works through prayers.
Our church actually has study material I use and I record my notes in a Leuchtturm 1917 lined notebook from Amazon (I have shown that on Instagram stories often;) That is my favorite notebook for scripture study notes hands down. and I like to just use a .38 fine tip pen and crayola map pencils in it. Recently I bought a new study notebook called "rooted in Christ" from The Small Seed company (you can find their website or Instagram by that name). Their notebooks sold out right away this first printing. But I have information that they have more in and sales go up again at the end of this week. I just shared a peak of it on my Instagram stories yesterday. But I will do a full IGTV showing it this week when The Small Seed has them back in stock. That's my system. Which I know might not help you at all.
Wonder why companies like Erin Condren not come out more gender neutral planners. They are missing out a lot of sales. Would be more tempted to try one of hers if they where not all floral, etc. But with them on sale now, might be willing to try to find one that might be more gender neutral.
I just shared with you in your other comment about Erin Condren's Focused Collection. They are gender Neutral and bound. I have IGTV reviews up on my Instagram about them:)
@@AmandasFavorites - I looked at them but to me I would rather have the colorful pages. I think I might have found one I might try. It is the Colorblock Lifeplanner. And after discounts, only be about $25ish to try out.
I am going through a bad marriage and open UA-cam while crying. I saw your mantra and i cried harder., I wanted to say thank u for unknowingly helping me feel better. God bless u
Oh, hugs to you XXX! I am so glad that helped today. Sending you hugs and better days ahead.
I'm watching this video in April 2020 and your mantra is perfect for this weird season.
Ah! Yes, you are so right!!! Take care:)

Love hearing a little about your system Jen;) Thanks for taking the time to chat. I do love that monthly Notebook from Ashley Shelly!
Thanks for the quote at the beginning. I really needed that. I wrote it down in my planner for a daily reminder.
I am so glad it was helpful. It has helped me numerous times:) Hugs to you!

@@AmandasFavorites this is our 5th house purchase as a family. I am SO tired of moving. No lols, but you have to lol, you know what I mean?

Thank you! I love seeing real life functional planning too. It's the only way I plan:)

I just went to their site and typed Acrylic Clipboards....and it said "NEW acrylic clipboards coming soon!" So that's good news;) YAY!
@@AmandasFavorites Yay! I had searched 'clipboard' a couple of days ago and nothing comes up, but yep, I found the coming soon bit also! Great news!
Hi Amanda! Do you know if they make them for the 2021 through2025? Thanks I’m really considering getting a 5 year journal. I would love to see how God works through prayers.
The year is always blank in the 5 year year journals. So you can start anytime:)
Have you ever found a Bible Study planner of some kind?? I’m looking for a little boost in direction (kinda new to studying the Bible)...
