I started with a classic but moved to a big planner a few years ago and will not go back. Sure wish more options were available in this size. I’m a teacher so at least we have more to choose from. Thanks for your video!
Excellent video! I love the BIG HP, use mostly that size. Have a classic and a skinny classic for grocery shopping and master to do lists! Thanks, Arlene 😊🎉
Love the big! I use the TUL covers from Office Depot for a more sleek look. I have to use metal discs (gold and rose gold are my fav). Classic is too small I like to write a lot. Dashboard is my catch all/ vertical for business and hourly for work.
AGREED!!!! my favorite big covers were either from Tul or ARC (which I don’t think staples makes anymore???). Plus, the amazing inserts that were available for TUL. The business card holder insert, the mesh pocket that held cell phones and other stuff, etc. Plus, the snap in soft ruler (although it fits in a classic, still one of my favorite things to keep nearby, lol).
Classic is my favorite size. I use different layouts for different purposes. I use the dashboard for my full time job, I use the hourly to organize my whole life, undated dailies for my part time job because it's per diem and the monthly layout to keep track of assignments for online classes that I take. I have a section for each all frakenplanned together.
I love metal discs but once in a while I use the plastic for the color. I used a big vertical last year and really loved it. I may have to switch back but for now classic is working. Love the options you shared for using a big!
I wish happy planner would bring out a teacher planner layout Inv the 3 sizes with the days and dates at the top. I’m sure it will be a big seller . Plus this should be a regular staple in their line up.
I use the Classic Happy Planner. I was afraid the Big would be too heavy. I am a retired teacher and my children are grown, so sometimes I don’t know what put in the planner. I would love to Frankenplan. Blessings.
I prefer the Classic size notebook/journal.. I have 2 minis, 1 mini planner that goes in my purse and 1 other for like everything else that does not go in a planner or in my journal.
I dont go by size as favorites but by layout and unfortunately Classic gets the most variety in layouts and styles. -Horizontal and Dashboard for my work when it can get heavy with client information. -For daily life and appointments, I use vertical or dashboard. -Lastly I have a mini budget in which i do prefer as Mini because its size helps to carry in my purse to plan out shopping trips like groceries or necessities and indulgences. I should also mention I use a private bullet journal for thoughts ideas books hobbies goals doodles that I prefer binding as it makes it more personal, no happy planner here.
THP is not right that it doesn't introduce new layouts. There are so many USEFUL layouts: where you divide each page into quorters to have 4 days on 1 page, in half to gave 2 days on one page (vertical or/and horizontal). THP don't add dot grid on it's monthly and weekly pages. So inefficient!!!!

I love how you are bucking all the trends. I thought everyone preferred the metal discs.
I love the Big, use it a lot for journaling
Rewatching your helpful video and subscribing. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!

I like the way you plan your layouts, it gives us more ideas cause I’m still new in happy planning 😊
Oh thank you!
I'm very new to Happy Planner Frankenplanning, starting in January. Got a classic dashboard to get started
So you will be using a big or classic size?
Love planners ❤
I love using the classic and the mini.
Me too ❤
I love the dashboard layout in the mini to plan out daily chores!
Thank you for sharing great tips on the BIG Happy Planner. Ive been contemplating on using one. Im currently using the classic planners. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
i love the big ones !!!!!
Being a stay-at-home mom and loving all the stickers….I’m a big planner just love all of the place

I forgot about my budget planner. I have that one separate from my other ones.
Big planner for me!
I love metal discs but once in a while I use the plastic for the color. I used a big vertical last year and really loved it. I may have to switch back but for now classic is working. Love the options you shared for using a big!
I like using the BIG horizontal for Journaling. Planning my weeks I like classics
I have always preferred classic, but I have just started using a big for my work planner.
Especially for my kids when they were little! All that paper work!
I love the mini, but I’m using a classic as well next year
I like the big
I wish happy planner would bring out a teacher planner layout Inv the 3 sizes with the days and dates at the top. I’m sure it will be a big seller . Plus this should be a regular staple in their line up.
Ive been thinking about switching over to a big planner. . .
New sub! Great video 😊👍
Thanks for the sub! 🫶🏼

Yess , I will have an updated flip through soon!

i use the skinny mini, skinny classic, the classic and the big.

Hi 👋 a creative Franken planner sounds perfect for you !
The big and the classic.
I prefer the Classic size notebook/journal.. I have 2 minis, 1 mini planner that goes in my purse and 1 other for like everything else that does not go in a planner or in my journal.
I do love a mini planner!
I dont go by size as favorites but by layout and unfortunately Classic gets the most variety in layouts and styles.

That’s awesome, love that you have a good system going! Your right Classic does have the most planner layouts

Thanks for sharing.
I think the only crime they are doing is not offering the option to purchase planners without discs with a small discount
What does frankenplanner mean?
I will definitely do a video to explain 👍
A combination of different planer layouts for different purposes into a single planner.
Yeah taking two planners and combining into one.
