For me, when I create a page, I find things I like and things I don't like and that moves forward to the next one. So when I'm creating the next page, I remember what I really liked and build on that, and eliminate the things I didn't like. It grows as you do it. Also, I may create a page I don't like, but my pages are daily pages, and its just for my eyes. I focus on the subject matter and not the design so much. The reason I created my journal is so I can remember what happened that day, and also to plan what is coming in the future. I use drawings, stickers, templates, pictures (I bought a mini printer) and then journal around these things, including Bible verses and other things to fill in. Before I know it, the page is full and I feel happy to have documented the day.
I’m never busy cause I’m on disability…. Just put down what you watch or read, or when you go for a walk and show, or the weather…. How you’re feeling, health info…. So many things! If you did your skincare that day or full shower. If you ordered anything online, or had any delivery come in!
“A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.” ― Coco Chanel Your new hair do is darling and has spunk! Much like you! ♥ Loved this Q&A ~ was fun hanging out with you and Almond tonight!
What a fantastic Q and A session. Looking forward to Part 2. Loved seeing Bumble and Almond patting you. The new hair cut is gorgeous and accentuates your beautiful features. Thank you for the great tips and your thoughtfulness. We all love you and this wonderful channel!
Thank you!!! You have no idea how much I needed to hear the no guilt, and life happens. I forget at times to Plan to Plan and to keep my planner where I can see it
I really appreciate you mentioning how being a planner-er with ADHD means you don't necessarily DO all the stuff you write down, but writing it down still helps. Sometimes I feel guilty when I can't get all the things done on my list, but I'm trying to remind myself that at least I didn't forget about them completely because they're written down! Every little bit helps, and the goal of life isn't always "productivity" anyway. Your openness about the realities of life with ADHD is really encouraging and makes us feel less alone out here (and is definitely one of the things that made me start bingeing your videos in the first place, hah!) Thanks so much for all your great advice, as usual!
Love this video love the hair oh my gosh love the change and almond is adorable and the way she/he pawed at you trying to get your attention oh my gosh made my heart melt. And bumble what a beauty. Thank you so much for your time.
Could you please show how to use the mini HP? Please? There are not that many videos on this size, and this is the only size that I could carry with me every day
Great tips for beginners or those needing inspiration. Fantastic haircut! I love the way it swings around your chin and shoulders. Maybe I'm biased because it's my favorite length for myself, too.
oh my gosh! I love your hair! I just cut all mine off (it was slightly longer than your "before") to about the same length. I'm starting to love it. I have to mess with it a bit more, but I feel like I look a bit more put together
For those wondering about creativity, here is a suggestion. If you find that you mostly use functional stickers (boxes, trackers, dates, times, etc), use them first for your weekly spread and then go back once filled in and then use decorative stickers on the spaces that have no stickers or notes/writing. Can also get stencils that you can then use to make your page look pretty (can get a pack of 5 or more if you look online)
Wow. Looks great! I really didn’t expect much of a change but it makes you look 10 years younger.. and i thought you look young for your (our) age anyway. Great tips and ideas...
I look at the National Today website for all the serious, and silly holidays. Sometimes that sparks an idea for a theme. I also put sticky notes on each week with the name of a sticker book or a color combination that I really like. That way an idea is already there if nothing else inspires me. Hello, sweet Almond. Bumble grumbles, because the channel is named after her. lol LOVE the new 'do!!!
Great tips! Love the new hairdo! The bonus was Almond's guest appearance, she is beautiful. I love how at one point she was tapping your shoulder and looked like she was saying "mom".
There is something homey and comforting about your pets being included in your videos. I agree with you that they make a difference in the overall vibe that you create in your videos. I hope you never dis-include them in the future. I used to be an animal therapist with the Therapeutic Riding Center. I think many people rule out animals when they are really the point.
Thank you soo much for answering my question! ❤ I actually talked to my Dr and was put on anxiety medication my husband's health has been up and down the last 2 years and it finally got to me! Along with other things. I think I was also a little depressed, but the medicine us helping! It's funny when I first started watching this video I decided I'm planning in my planner tomorrow 😊 thank you for all your videos and for always being real!!😍 Looove your haircut!!❤
WOW when you came back with your haircut I literally sucked my breath in. It looks fabulous! Loved seeing Almond. I have a tortoiseshell kitty as well :)
Love your hair! You are so pretty, inside and out! Thanks for all the great tips on planning and decorating. Looking forward to Part 2. Loved seeing Bumble and Almond.
so many great questions and loved your answers.. you are honest and right to the point.. love watching your videos.. LOVE THE HAIR CUT!! you will get used to after awhile..
I LOVE your haircut Mary Ellen! It's so fitting for you! It looks so healthy and bouncy! Great choice! I have a question...I carry my planner around with me A LOT and its like classic size. Is there a bag or tote you recommend over another one?
Loved this video. Always get ideas from you even though I'm not really a new planner. Loved seeing Bumble and Almond and watching/listening to them trying to get your attention. So adorable! And I love your new haircut! It's so cute!!! Makes you look even younger! Praying for you Mary Ellen!

Great tips, cute hair, and a rare Almond sighting. Who could ask for anything more? ❤
Love love love Almond asking for attention! ❤❤❤ And your haircut is fantastic too!
LOVE your new haircut! Sometimes it helps to take the weight off physically to also metaphorically take the weight off of life changes! 💪🏼
Thank you!!! You have no idea how much I needed to hear the no guilt, and life happens. I forget at times to Plan to Plan and to keep my planner where I can see it
For. The last 2 months I lived my life on yellow sticky notes. I’ve started decorating my planner in February & each week makes me smile
Great video, but I'll admit that the kitty was the highlight. 😻😻

Almond was working so hard to get your attention. Bless it!
Loved seeing Almond trying to get your attention.
I like to sticker bomb the pages that I didn’t fill in. I usually use stickers I’m not in love with but want to use for my sticker bombs.
