Hey Guys!! Today's video is on how to make using your planner easy. These are the simple tweaks that I have made to my planner system that has simplified my planning process. I absolutely love my current planning system and after YEARS of trying to find planner peace, now that I have it I'm trying to protect it at all cost! LOL!! Do you have any additional tips to make planning easier? Drop them in the comments below.
Where do you get the full innercore for your planners? I am getting an outdated Happy Planner Classic and I can not find any where that sales only the full inner planner
I started focusing on what stuff I want to achieve during the day/week and writing it down rather than trying to make it pretty. while I still use highlighters time to time to help me designate the priority I find simplicity is the best option!
I have carried different planners for over 30 yrs, but I always find great ideas in your videos. Your efficient planners are calming, as I take a break from my current stuation.
I like the idea of a general note book as there are tasks and ideas waiting in the ‘parking lot’ which have no place in my planner yet. This would keep my planner clear and simple, without losing the chaotic gems of scratch notes.
Thank you so much for what you said about making planner apart of self care ,because I would be consistent in using my planner because it felt like another job. We you said make it self care that just motivated me to start planning again.
With ALL of my heart ❤ Thank you!! I am wanting a Happy Planner, but I need it FUNCTIONAL. And I have a lot of things going. So other sites who's videos show hours of how to make it look like a beautiful scrapbook, are beautiful, but were frustrating me, because I need my planner to keep my very busy life, organized, not just beautiful. I LOVE functional things. Your you tube page is quickly becoming my favorite. Thank you sooo much 🙏
After watching your videos for a week, I bought my first Happy Planner yesterday. I think planning and decorating my planner a bit will become a new hobby for me. And the tips in this video helped me setting the planner up. Also, I wanted to say thanks. Watching your videos is therapeutic and also a bit like self care for me. I always learn a new trick or tip to get more organised.
I have watched sooo many planner videos and just purchased my 5th planner this year!! This by far is the most helpful video I’ve seen to date. I love combining planners for the different areas of your life. I absolutely agree that this is self-care. I’m about to binge on all of your videos so I can get my act together.
I need to get a happy planner and frankenplan. I have papers everywhere. Yes, planning is a formal of self care!! I just need to keep it all in one place. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for making this video. I have been trying to create a functional planner for YEARS ! I finally broke down and got the Happy Planner and it has been a game changer. Watching this video hits all my needs of having everything in one place, keeping it simple, and using it daily as self care. This has helped me keep my goals and breakdown plans together and I had no idea the effect it would have on lowering my anxiety.
I love the idea of viewing your planner as self care.. I never thought of that but think this frame of mind will motivate me more to take care of all the things. I’ll start enjoying planning again. Very inspiring video. Thank you.
It sounds like we all love your tip about viewing planning/budgeting a self-care! And there are several other tips in here that are worthy of being listened to. Excellent job! This will definitely go on my list of planning videos to recommend!
I love your videos, because I am a functional planner who likes just a few stickers. I find a lot of planner videos are more for people who use it more like a scrapbook or keepsake while mine is kid schedules, work meetings, and family finances. I don't keep a Google calendar at all. So everything goes in the planner, and it looks like it. 😂😂😂
Am so happy to find your UA-cam channel. I franken-plan with a B5 26-hole binder, and print planner pages on muji graph paper. Am learning lots from you how to improve it. What I also do is to use sticky dots to colour code my activities so I can add this later no matter what colour I write in as sometimes I'm just not in the mood to just use black. This frees me up to use any coloured pen I feel like, knowing I have the (predetermined # of) coloured dots to categorised my activities.
I just found your channel and I love it! I'm a writer too - I physically write down everything throughout my day! I've been using At-A-Glance Harmony weekly/monthly planners for the past 4 years, but watching your videos have made me consider a Happy Planner. New subbie! 💙
I love to write things down. I’m not a journal-keeper, I wish I were. I am, however, a list maker and planner oriented person and I find planning and list making a huge cathartic experience. Self care for sure, 100% agreed. Also, I have a work planner and a personal planner. I’ve decided to invest in a Goosby Twins planner to start melding them together. That and I have to get away from EC
Can you share what businesses you go to get planner supplies (pouch for your stickers, dashboards? I am finally starting with Happy Planning and see I love functional organizing. It really helps me get ALL THE THINGS out of my head.
I love your videos!! If you like the clear dashboard dividers I just learned a hack from Stephanie at Squaird Plans. You can soak them in nail polish remover for about 2 minutes in a large pan and the use a toothbrush to scrub off the design. The nail polish has to have acetone in it. 😀
Great suggestions; I really like top tabs, too! I'm still trying to find planner peace and will use your method with the front covers in my frankenplanner for August to see how it goes.
Another excellent video! Love-planning as Self Care!. I do have a question. I have my Faith planner separate due to intimate topics. Is yours part of the 8 in your frankenplannet?
I have never really used a planner, always been an excel girl. BUT I love the art and creativity that goes into this. Gonna do it too😜👍. Love your channel by the way, Subscribed!
I suppose it really is self care, because you're getting your brain organised and this will reduce stress. I've used a planner for 35 years and I've never looked at it like that. Xx
It is my understanding that happy planner brand inserts don’t fit in TUL planners very well. I’ve never quite understood this since the rings are the same ... aren’t they? Also, what kind of a hole punch do you use?
I believe the TUL cuts are shorter than HP. Which means that the Tul planners won’t fit Hp pages as well. I only use the TUL leather cover and I use the HP discs instead of the TUL discs so that everything will fit.
Hi, I was wondering how you got the templates for your catch up planner templates. I really wanted to use the happy planner because I like it but I do not like the template that they have.
Hi! I love your videos, I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I have been watching all your videos! Great job! By the way I have heard you on your videos about money Monday, is it something that is free? Or do I have to pay? And how I could join if I was interested? Thank you!! I hope you and your family are safe in these times. :)
I do a majority of my planner in about 1 hour at the beginning of my week. The rest of the week is about 10 minutes a day to review and add things to my calendar
I know the bullet journalmethod has been changed and altered a lot in social media but the true method is an "all in one" book. Curious as what do you do in your bullet journal? Great tips overall.
I was wondering if you use a Big or Classic planner. I am looking to buy that Tul cover for my Classic planner so trying to figure out the right size to get.
@@TheOrganizedMoney I actually saw they have a junior size so was going to buy that to see if it woul work for my classic but feel it may be slightly too small.

I could binge watch your videos and not get tired. Am just wondering where I have been all along. Thanks for making these videos. Am learning so much
It's nice to hear someone accepting that Not planning makes them anxious, I used to feel bad for not being spontaneous or whatever
I’ve been watching so many of your videos lately and to me, that’s self care too😊 Your videos are therapeutic!
Thank you!!
I agree!
Agreed!! 🥰
Same ☺️
It is a form of self care. I never thought of it that way before. It does make me feel less stressed. Thank you.
I started focusing on what stuff I want to achieve during the day/week and writing it down rather than trying to make it pretty. while I still use highlighters time to time to help me designate the priority I find simplicity is the best option!
I have started doing that too and I have been getting a lot accomplished and staying focused
I like that there isn’t a lot of drawing and stickers. It’s still pretty with minimal stickers but not overly done.
I have carried different planners for over 30 yrs, but I always find great ideas in your videos. Your efficient planners are calming, as I take a break from my current stuation.
Wow that’s so cool, this is a lifestyle.

Now that's a word, organizing , setting goals and budgeting and being accountable is the best self care I can give to myself. Thank you so much!
The self-care tip really resonated with me. Excellent suggestion.
Totally agree....I needed to hear that because my planner was slipping into a TO DO list category, when it used to be so relaxing.
Love your hands and nails. And that ring wow 🤩

Why do I feel like I need to do my nails when I watch your videos??😆
☺️😅 I thought that it was just me. I keep looking at my really short nails 💅
Your planning tips are fire! Seriously your brain dump method has been life-changing for me.
Thank you so much Lydia!!!! 🥰

Having the covers is a great idea!

And side tab dividers to find things

Such a great video!

Great tips as always. Thanks for sharing
Hi! I like the way you use stickers to decorate and systemize your planner in your own way. Request to guide where I can get those stickers.
New subscriber here (new to planners and to your channel). Loving this series. I’m learning a lot!
Great suggestions; I really like top tabs, too! I'm still trying to find planner peace and will use your method with the front covers in my frankenplanner for August to see how it goes.
Heyy I love your videos 🧡 & you have inspired me to start using my planners 😊. All of these tips are gonna make it easy for me since I am new to this.
Which happy planner is this? Do you have a link i could buy? Love this one
Great ideas! Thank you!
This was a wonderful video and very relaxing. Where did you get the silver pouch?
Another excellent video! Love-planning as Self Care!. I do have a question. I have my Faith planner separate due to intimate topics. Is yours part of the 8 in your frankenplannet?

Where can I purchase the pocket organizer, which holds your stickers?
Love your videos so much ❤️
Thank you so much!!
Hi I just found your channel and am so inspired!!! Thank you for making this content. May I ask where you found the adaptable sticker pouch?
hi! appreciate everything 💗 was wondering if you could make a video on consistently using your planner
What do you include in the bullet journal you mentioned?
My bullet journal is my place for my daily notes. Notes from meetings, scripts for videos, ideas… randomness…😂
I want this planner!!! I love that it has the times!! Where can I get it?
Happy Planner just released the new set for next year. Check out their website: thehappyplanner.com/
Nice video
Thank you! Great suggestions, how do you store old previous months of your planner. For example Jan,Feb,March,April?
Hey! I move them back to their actual planner and keep them on my bookshelf. 🤗
I looooove planners myself. But do u ever use anything electronic? Any apps that may keep you organized?
I use my calendar app and my notes app while i'm on the go.... if I don't have access to my planner
I suppose it really is self care, because you're getting your brain organised and this will reduce stress. I've used a planner for 35 years and I've never looked at it like that. Xx
😁😁

@@TheOrganizedMoney Do the HP Discs accommodate TUL pages?
Hi, I was wondering how you got the templates for your catch up planner templates. I really wanted to use the happy planner because I like it but I do not like the template that they have.
Hey! This is the actual planner. It's the hourly Happy Planner
Hi! I love your videos, I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I have been watching all your videos! Great job! By the way I have heard you on your videos about money Monday, is it something that is free? Or do I have to pay? And how I could join if I was interested? Thank you!!

Hey! It’s free! Here is the link to register and we are on zoom every Monday at 4pm CST. 🤗 bit.ly/2Zqc5Vm
The Organized Money hi! Thank you very much for your quick response, I will check the link out and join!! 😊
How do you get the pages to flip easily?
Use dryer sheets on the discs.
How much time do you set aside to plan for the week?
I do a majority of my planner in about 1 hour at the beginning of my week. The rest of the week is about 10 minutes a day to review and add things to my calendar

Mine is used for collections and notes. It's not like the official bullet journal. Here is a video on it: ua-cam.com/video/PzoWT_nLSyQ/v-deo.html
@@TheOrganizedMoney thank you!
What is the gawgus name page from ?
I was wondering if you use a Big or Classic planner. I am looking to buy that Tul cover for my Classic planner so trying to figure out the right size to get.
Hey! It only comes in the size for the BIG happy planner
@@TheOrganizedMoney I actually saw they have a junior size so was going to buy that to see if it woul work for my classic but feel it may be slightly too small.
monilissa79 I believe the Tul Jr. is a half letter size.
@@monilissa79 the tul junior size is too small. Inkwell press makes one in the classic size
@@saragalvan9196thanks! I will check that out.
Love my pouch
Where did you get your pouch
Office Depot
