While your planner style is extremely different from my one (I'm digital, bare-bones, and functional), I always enjoy watching yours. I love seeing the pretty, maximalist planners you come up with! They're gorgeous in a way that I love looking at, but know I could never use myself, so I get vicarious joy through you. 🥰
Thank you for all of the content you make for us Sarra! You are truly a superstar, and I know it's easy to say "let the haters hate", but as a recovering people-pleaser I know how difficult it can be to strike the balance of creating for others, and for yourself. So thank you for pushing past the doubt and showing up for us regardless. My Nano plan has been totally derailed, but instead of giving up like I have in the past, I'm looking to sources of inspiration like you to keep me inspired and motivated! Your regular encouragement and reminders that everyone has hard days is invaluable. Already looking forward to all the 2024 prep and planning content!
This is always so much fun for me! I am not into planning and setting up stuff like you is absolutely not for me, but I love watching you doing it. It calms and relaxes me, warms my heart to see and hear the joy it brings you - and it's always so beautiful. So thank you for sharing your happiness!
There is no way i wouldnt be able to get in the Christmas spirit if i was to look at your planner every morning. I dont have much Christmas stuff this year and i obviously need to step my game up! Beautiful setup!
There is NO WAY I could put the level of detail you have for your planner. I use an occasional sticker and that's it. LOL! But I love watching your decorating. It fascinates me to no end. Thanks for all you do for the writing community. ❤
Thanks for reminding me it's okay to take a day off. I came home early last night from work, not feeling well, only to wake up with a cold. The first thing that ran through my mind is, oh no, I can't write today. Crap! Then you come out with this video and remind it's okay. If you need to take a day, take a day. The world will still keep going. Thanks Sarra, thanks for being you 😊
Never apologise for planner set-ups or any of the content you make. You videos in November are uploading as I get up the morning here in Australia and it gives me a little jump of joy to see them each morning. Thankyou. Love you, Sarra ❤🎉
In 2022, I had the Erin Condren A5 daily pages for 18 months, but then I started using HB90. So I was finishing up using those in 2023. In 2024, I'll be going full-on HB90 for monthly, weekly, and daily planning. I typically print out the goal-setting and planning pages, but use Notion as my Kanban board. And as for this video, perhaps it doesn't make everyone happy, but it definitely made ME happy to see it. Thank you so much for sharing your process and thoughts with us. Your blend of writing content and productivity content is so great. Thanks as always!
Hi there, I am a subscriber from Malaysia and I love following your daily vlogs regardless of whether its about nanowrimo, your book progress, planners, tech gadget reviews, beauty, stationary and in general anything. I work in tech and love to watch your vlogs to inspire my creativity ❤ trust me there are more people who love your content vs those who might skip one or two videos
I love watching you set up your planners. Plus, I love the green for the holidays! I too want to use my planner for other things this upcoming year and not just my HB90 stuff. Just not sure how just yet.
This was so relaxing to watch while I’m looking over my story and trying to get the scenes organized. I’m feeling better about not getting a lot of words in today. The set up is so pretty. I like the green notebook.
Thank you for your honesty in this video 💚 you take such amazing care of us, and I really appreciate hearing you reflect on what’s working and what isn’t serving you. I also LOVE the idea of a long-term planning event if that’s possible, though I know it’s a super busy time!
Take a day off if you need it. Thank you. You don't have to do any of this for us and I appreciate so much that you do. In just the short time I've been part of your community, I've learned not to treat everything as a five alarm fire, I've found focus and direction, I'm learning to get my sh*t together. Because of you and the amazing community you've built. Don't ever doubt it, not for one second.
I hope you're feeling better and happy early anniversary! This was just what I needed. I've been using the same type of datebook since high school which was long ago. I have sit down to figure out a new system finally as my needs have changed in the passed few years. Your planner is beautiful. Thanks for the bit of calmness today.🙏🌈💜
For headache put equal parts of eucalyptus and peppermint essential oil in the diffuser, or dilute it and use it on temples and wrists. It can be diluted in almond, coconut or marigold oil, 10% is fine.
I really appreciate you promoting taking time for yourself and not just pushing through. I agree that we need to fill the well if we want to be productive and find joy in the productivity!
I think being in the position of people criticizing would be too difficult for me. That’s why I haven’t moved forth on some of my dreams. I’m examining this in myself and appreciate your transparency. I adore you!
That picture of George and Evie is so stinking cute! I've been thinking about my planning system and how it needs to change now because of doing this full time. I don't really want to have multiple planners. I'd love to see what you're thinking of doing for next year. Also, I'm glad you're taking the downtime :)
Minimal writing days are definitely necessary sometimes ❤ I try not to have zero word count days, but sometimes you have to take a bit of a break in order to keep going. Like tonight - the muse hit me upside the head with a better way to approach this book, so I'm regrouping ready for more writing tomorrow!
This setup is so pretty and festive! I also have this planner cover in a personal size and haven't used it yet. But I do love using a traveler's journal every December to track my Christmas shopping and Christmas journaling. So much fun!
I'm trying an EC Lifeplanner w/HB90 and some Notion....we'll see how that goes! I've always made my own planners, but after watching you and taking the HB90 course this past year, I'm thinking I might need something more rigid than my regular planner. I'm listening hard to your "not everyone is going to like everything", and I have such a hard time with that. And it's something I've been working on all year (and last, too!), to be brave enough to just do, instead of overthinking everything and do doing nothing. So, you have those people like me walking the marathon with you invisibly. Oh my gosh! My mind totally writes checks that my body can't cash! Do people even remember what that means? lol Look forward to the planning videos later! Take care.
I love your planner set ups! I'm trying to work on mine, but I'm also decorating my house for Christmas a bit earlier this year because my sons are coming for Thanksgiving and I want it to be special for them. All this, and trying to write too. lol All the events you're planning sound fun. Looking forward to them.
One of my favorite quotes is from Dita Von Teese: "You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches."
You should be able to spend as much time as you want on the things that bring joy in your life, and your offerings are so much better when you do! Maybe there are things you can delegate so you don't feel like you're "wasting your time" on the fun things. There are plenty of business owners that have a full team of people so they can focus on their unique spark. You don't have to do everything yourself.
I understand how you feel I grew in a rough childhood and that led to me being a people pleaser. My husband would say to me Emi you don't need to please anyone.
I just got done with my nanowrimo during the weekend and got to 105, 515 words but chapter 2 somehow got erased. Should I rewrite it and add the word onto my word count or leave it at where it was?
I have struggled due to my dad being in denial of my disabilities. He always criticized me for not being ablate get skills on the first try. He would yell at me when I was in school. I think I will switch back to Erin Condren. The Happy Planner isn't working as well as I was hoping.I think I may do a spiral Erin Condren planner for 2024. I am hoping that my day program staff will help me get my blogging business up and running in 2024.
I'm so sorry you weren't treated with the respect you needed and deserved in those moments. It can be so hard to shake that as an adult. On another note, good luck with your blogging business! That sounds wonderful!
A chill planner setup day. I'll be back tomorrow with an actual writing vlog, but if you need a day of rest, take it without guilt!
Hi !
I just wanted to know, where is your watch from ?
Loving the nanowrimo diaries so far !!
Hope your headache goes away soon. Have a blessed week ❤
I’m always here for planner set up ❤😊
Thanks for all you do my friend!

Fellow people pleaser here! Thank you for your transparency, I’ll watch literally anything you post so always create what makes you happy!! ❤
I love watching you set up your planners. Plus, I love the green for the holidays! I too want to use my planner for other things this upcoming year and not just my HB90 stuff. Just not sure how just yet.
This was so relaxing to watch while I’m looking over my story and trying to get the scenes organized. I’m feeling better about not getting a lot of words in today. The set up is so pretty. I like the green notebook.
Also, i was feeling awful for taking off basically the entire week... But i NEEDED it. Its OK to take some time to get our heads back to a good space.
Thank you for your honesty in this video 💚 you take such amazing care of us, and I really appreciate hearing you reflect on what’s working and what isn’t serving you. I also LOVE the idea of a long-term planning event if that’s possible, though I know it’s a super busy time!
Praying for your health & well being🙏🏼🫶🏼 hopefully this headache subsides quickly for you so you can get back to feeling good & rested!!

I saw the "Merry Christmas..." home alone quote red shirt at Walmart yesterday. It was cute.
For headache put equal parts of eucalyptus and peppermint essential oil in the diffuser, or dilute it and use it on temples and wrists. It can be diluted in almond, coconut or marigold oil, 10% is fine.
So excited!! I’m going to join Publish & Thrive next year!
Oh thank God. I've been procrastinating so hard today...this is what I needed 🥰 I hope you're feeling better soon
This was so precious, and what you said about reevaluation is so truee
I look forward to these every day! You’re so encouraging ❤
Thank you for the calm music!
Your planner set up is so cute for December. ❤ Love all your videos. ❤
Yay, I'm so glad you picked the green one! 🍏🍏🥝🥝🍀🍀☘☘🌳🌳
Me too! I'm so happy I did!
I really appreciate you promoting taking time for yourself and not just pushing through. I agree that we need to fill the well if we want to be productive and find joy in the productivity!
I think being in the position of people criticizing would be too difficult for me. That’s why I haven’t moved forth on some of my dreams. I’m examining this in myself and appreciate your transparency. I adore you!
Also I would love to see a review of all the tech gadgets you use and a what’s in my is always fun to watch 😊
Thank you for being so authentic Sarra. It is truly inspiring to witness your journey!
I also needed a day of rest today so this was fun to watch!

Hope you feel better soon.
❤️❤️❤️ can very much relate to all of this, thanks for sharing!
Feel better!! ❤

So cute ❤ BTW I love the music...so relaxing!
Thank for sharing
I loved this!! Sooooo cute
Love it!
That was such a cute set up in your green planner. 🤩 Just wondering, is that a fake mustache on George's face? It's on the wonk
Take care❤

Oh no! Thankfully only one chapter! I would rewrite and add to my wordcount, if it were me, but you can do it either way!
Do what is RIGHT for you.
Ya filthy animal! Too funny. Hope your headache goes away.❤️🇨🇦
Haha, my son Andrew is obsessed with the Home Alone movies so it always makes me smile.
@@HeartBreathings I had no idea where that came from but it’s pretty funny. 🇨🇦❤️
