One option I've thought about for meal planning (bc I struggle hard with it too and it's affecting our budget bc we're eating out WAY too much) is adapting the teacher layout much like the way you used to use it for social media. I'm going to put the days of the week going across the tops of the pages and covering the days of the week on the left side with boxes and labeling them w/Breakfast, Lunch, Afterschool snack, Dinner, and either beverage for the day or dessert for the day for the 5th spot. Then insert a 1/2 sheet lined note pad for specific ingredients needed for each meal in the middle of each week as a ready-made grocery list. Then once I have enough menus I can rotate them or just pull one to re-use whenever I don't have a clue what to plan. It's already been done for me. That's the end goal idea at least.
Luv this idea!!!!!!!
@@charlarp thank you! :-)
This was so simple, yet one of my favorite videos you've ever posted. I think you should do more "interactive" videos. And why would anyone come here to "dislike" it? #kellofafanforlife
Thanks! I really liked this video, too!
Connecting what you stress about in your life to planning is the key to letting it go. I too struggle with meal planning 😩 and I SO NEED to find a solution. 💙💙
This video has been very helpful to get me to plan MY life. My children are grown and married and my husband passed away 3 years ago. In that time, he died, my daughter was proposed to after struggling with school and getting a job, and they got married last October. Then, COVID hit and my daughter had back surgery and I had 3 surgeries myself. Once I recovered and came back home, there was the disaster at home to clean and certain habits to re-create. I tried to build a planner too soon because my desk was a disaster. Now that's somewhat clean and I can begin to use a planner -- just in time for the holidays and tax season (yuck!).
I have a cleaning plan for you. It's an old system from the Slob Sisters Pam Young and Peggy Jones (they came before The Secret Slob and Fly Lady). Their original book uses a 3x5 card system to rotate the daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal jobs through the days of the week and month. This can be done in your planner using full sticky notes (by Post-It) this way, they can be transferred through the planner on the days they need to be done.
There is a revised version called Get Your Act Together which is a little more simplified. Both books come with lists of tasks. The older one comes with a frequency for each task in case you're wondering how often to clean your oven, turn your mattresses, etc.
This was just what I needed. Some of my issues are emotional. I grew up in a messy house and I'm self-conscious about it, but we did a major clean up a month ago and it still looks pretty good. We're going to sue the weekly view to keep track of what area or "zone" we're going to clean each day. If we get sidetracked, I'm not going to freak out, it will come back around next week.
I'm going to work on scheduling time to make sure the kid's teeth get brushed twice a day, so I need to make reminders on the weekly pages. I'm really big on lists, so this is great! I feel like I'm failing as a mother when I forget things like brushing their teeth.
We're going to use the middle spot on the weekly to work on meal planning. I feel like we run out of grocery budget before the end of the month, but we still have ingredients, we just have to throw them together.
I'm a stigler for punctuality and I will sit in bed and worry if I set my alarm s I can get up early enough to make the appointment or get up early enough to get the good projects for work (I work from home and projects are supposed to be released at 2 am).
Wow….Literally THANK YOU! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m literally watching this while washing dishes just so I can get an idea of what to do but I’m also like lost LOL Watching this is eye opening & I will definitely watch the more in depth video to sort things out for myself. I started planning on March w/ a basic planner but now I’m ready for “real” planning 💯 I forgot what UA-camr recommended your channel but I’m so glad I was pointed in your direction especially for dashboard planning which I find is more of my style 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you so much girl! 💗💗
I am new to planning and this video is fantastic. I struggle with the same things as you. I'm a nurse and would love to see a layout for nurses and planning work schedule plus all the things that stress me out. I love your work.
I just want to thank you for giving consistent value on your channel and the sure quantity in your quality is amazing. You are amazing. Thank you for being a really great teacher. It has blessed my life.
I totally fell off the wagon and stopped using my planner when my husband and I bought a house two months ago, and I NEED to get back on it but felt so overwhelmed! Needed this to help me start fresh so I can finish the year strong! Thanks Heather!
Former flylady addict here. But since 08 life overwhelmed. Aug 08 moved home from CO to WA into daughter's garage to care for mom an hour away. CHAOS! Jan 09 mom died, we moved to her overfilled house. In 10 moved to my dream 3 bedroom ranch. Discovered bad heart trouble during move, no lift over 5 lbs. Got rid of 2/3 of moms stuff so was still crowded. Had to take care of mom in law. Hubby retired from long haul trucking, took over her care. Long story I will skip over that and his work and health. In 14 I got a pacemaker. Somewhere in here I went to paper planning and still using cozi app. Mom in law died, Hubby would not part with even one paper or any of her stuff. House looked like we were hoarders then. Daughter moved in to do career change and full time college. So then 1 room moved to living room so she had a room. Gradually I had begun getting too tired and weak. Then covid hit. We did our own lock down, stricter than the state. I come from a medical family. I got more tired doing almost nothing. Then easter day 21, they found I have kidney cancer for second time in my life. Treatment started but 1 pill nearly killed me. Bed bound from may until September. Gradually I can be up for just a few hours a couple times a week. In October I started a paper planner again. That had been intermittent since 12. Now I use it mainly to plan getting enough rest and building how long I can be up. Treatments have stabilized the cancer. Doc says 18 more months of treatment. So now I have gone down the rabbit hole with planning and doing handwork. A big light bulb has gone off with this video that I know is going to help a lot. I have been floundering trying to get my own system. Now I see how to focus on what I need not trying to adapt everyone else's system. I am shifting to weekly dashboard. I was headed that way on my own. I will be 74 next week and determined to get stronger. We have completely avoided covid coming into our house. Thank you for this tool that tells me the exercise I need most.
Heather much love to you 💙💙💙 great ideas! I got back into paper planning because my “plate” was more like a sombrero that I couldn’t keep on my head! I needed a place to literally dump the contents of my brain. Then once it was on paper I could start planning and scheduling things to get it all done. I found you and realized I am not alone in this! I now am planning things I didn’t know I needed and I get a lot of rest. Now if it would just cool off! Thanks Heather...appreciate you!
This is just perfect! Thank you so much! ❤️
So practical! Thank you so much Heather! This gives me a great idea on how I can tackle all the things that cause me anxiety and that I am constantly going over and over in my mind.
Thanks for this. I love planning but really wasn’t using it effectively. Now I truly know what I need to be focusing on when I plan.❤️❤️❤️
This is perfect for how to plan! 🧡
I plan for appointments, school work, work hours, community involvement, meal planning, tasks, errands, paying bills, kids stuff and more
Cleaning stresses me out too 🙈 I’ve been following the Secret Slob here on YT and her method is a simplified version of the fly lady system. I pop her printable into my planner 😂
I've been planning for a long time, but never heard of this method to determine what to plan for. It was so helpful. Thank you!
This has given me a lot of clarity on what I need to put in my planner!! Thanks!!
This is the perfect how to plan video! I love the interactive aspect of it🧡
I needed this so much because I need a way to better compartmentalize my brain with all I have going on. This is going to force me to sit down and prioritize and maybe I can simplify my life a little more to find my new form of happy. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Another great idea. I liked how you interacted with me during this video. You got me into planning and it changed my life. Thank you!🌻
Heather, I have been searching your videos because I have an idea, but no clue how to make it work. Have you ever used an undated monthly calendar and undated week page to track monthly and weekly chores? Like when to give pets heart worm prevent medications and change air filters etc. on the monthly one and then just a weekly chore list like trash to the road for pick-up on thursdays and etc.
Exactly what I needed since I’m just starting. Thank you, heather! 🧡🧡
Super helpful video
Heather, have you thought about doing hello fresh or any other pre-packaged meal company? My family is crazy busy with so many different variables and the last thing I want to think about is trying to make dinners every night. We ordered hello fresh 3xs per week, SAVED money, and REALLY LOVED their meals. They come to our door and all I have to do is cook it. All ingredients are packaged except oil, salt and pepper.
I made a binder and kept all of our favorites so I can make sure to reorder those.
Just a thought ☺️
Saved this to go back and watch again
Thanks this helped me out a lot! Going to watch it again after work .
Yes i've been waiting for a video like this!! Super helpful!!!
I manifested and dreamed of this video! Yes!!! I loved it!
This is so great! My mind is working.
Fantastic video! thank you so much. It was a really good "let's break it down together" activity. My struggle is what type of planner to use. I think I have an idea and still leaning towards creating a franken planner using different happy planners. Anyway, thank you again. New subbie 😊
Awesome! I will add this to my weekly planning checklist, along with those 10 questions for filling out a weekly plan that you have the previous video for. #kellofafan
So very helpful, thank you!
This has given me so many great ideas! 🧡
Would you be willing to laminate this page for someone and send it to them? This paper is lovely and I love your handwriting. I would love to see your handwriting while I preplan. :)
I am doing this thank you so much
Heather, these videos still help me to tweak the plans in my planner! I just love your ideas!!!
Great video! We always think others have their lives together, and I'm glad to see we struggle with the same things!
PS--what's the pink pen you used to write the title??
Do you sell anything similar to the happy planner household organization labels?
Let's talk about that paper first
Yes! This paper was from my second #kellofafan box that released earlier this year. It's sold out now though. Sorry to be a tease!

I see a very pretty piece of paper! Did you make it?
