- With the start of July comes a lot of new planner babes to our happy little planner family! I want to say WELCOME to all of you newbies! In this video, I try to go over a few basic things that planner newbies should know.
I have another planner newbie advice video here: • Planner Newbie Advice - Розваги
Inspiration! I just ordered a planner and a puncher! And I am 63... love from Sweden!
Heather I was watching this in bed at night and seriously when you flipped over the cover, I jumped out of bed and grabbed my planner. I had no idea I could flip it.
"Comparison is the thief of joy!"
LOVE this quote! TFS
Valerie Martin what does TFS mean
Daphne Kendrick TFS stands for Thanks For Sharing
Right it’s a cute sticker in mambi book
Good timing for this. I'm gifting my HS grandkids with Happy Planners. She will be a Senior, he will be a Freshman. I did ask them if they thought it would be helpful to have a planner system, and they said yes.
bcboop2686 Awe! That’s so sweet! I wish my Nana gifted me with a happy planner in HS! I absolutely love mine currently! So hopefully they’ll love them!
The staples brand of disc punch is rated for 20 pages at a time. the Happy Planner punch is only rated to 5 pages. Also the Staples punch is a fraction of the price. :)
You're definitely helping me get use to my planner! Very inspirational!
Hello, Heather. Finding you as a 'mentor' for planning has been a huge thing for me. I started trying planning in January 2019, and the year is almost over (Nov 17) and I wasn't able to succeed. However, coming across you Welcome video posted on March 18, 2019 might have changed my prospects of becoming an active planner. I am Brazilian and planners, stickers, washi tapes and other planning supplies are either difficult to find or very expensive. Last December I found an affordable planner but I never totally adapted to its design and style. I had been considering buying a Happy Planner for a while when I finally made up my mind and had one imported. Considering shipping and importation taxes, it costs 3 times as much a you guys pay for it. And considering the value of our currency, the price of a Happy Planner comes close to 50% of our minimum monthly wage. But I took a deep breath and did it. And now, except for the punch, I'm ready to go. So, I would just like to say thank you for your videos, suggestions, ideas and support. See you around. XOXO.
This is exactly the type of video I have been looking for 💕 Thank you
Hi.... thanks for the warm welcome. I just bought my very first classic happy planner. I just finished my first weekly spread. Your videos definitely helped me figure out what I needed to start out :)
this video is so helpful i love your channel you actually inspired me to start planning
Thank you, Heather. Happy planning!
I'm a newbie in the planning world and was think of get a happy planner for the year 2018. and these video was really helpful with my decision.
U just gave me something to do over the weekend and that’s binge watch ur planning videos I just brought a happy planner and I’m so excited to use it but I feel as tho I need some tips and tricks to make it me
Hi Heather...I"m not necessarily new to planners; in the past I always used the DayTimer planner system. But never have I had the chance to be so creative; or to get my creative juices flowing. I"m so excited as I just purchased my first happy planner today (along with washi tape, stickers, pens) and got such a great deal at Michael's. I can't wait to July 1 when my planner starts :) Thanks for sharing such awesome tips. I'm looking forward to your new videos and going over older ones on your channel. God bless you. ~ Melissa ~
Great points, Heather. For anyone who wants to use stamps in their HP, the two pages in the monthly spread take stamping ink differently as well. I learned that the hard way!
Carrie Luteran lol, me too!!!
GREAT 👍 tip about the cover!! I’d like to add I didn’t like the fronts of both of my planners but they had lettering so couldn’t do it. But I exchanged the front with the back cover and am HAPPY
New to planning and your videos have really helped! 😊
This is helpful to me and I've had the happy planner since March lol
this is so helpful! I bought my own happy planner yesterday to use in the first day of school and I didn't know what to do and what I needed to buy for planning. Thank you.. and btw your channel inspired me to start planning and I can't wait to start using my happy planner
Love your explanation ! Thank you!
Great video! The tips are really helpful!
Thank you for the suggestion to get the color pack of stickers. It does seem easier to color coordinate that way. :o)
Thanks for this video! It helps.
Really enjoy your videos. I am new to planning with happy planner. Already love it. I did find it difficult to find the 101 basic video on your page. Had to watch a lot of them to learn. Would be nice if you could regroup them. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with everyone. Hoping I didn't do a lot of mistake in this comment since I am a french colleague of yours in the education field. :D
Awesome information...
Great video, thanks!
Excellent video!
Great video. Thanks.
I had a friend who told me she loved her disc planner...But she never explained further than that. The beginning of this video makes it so clear why discs are super cool!
Hey, I don't think I saw a video on this, but could you explain or brainstorm what to do when you get a 17-month (spiral bound) planner midway through the planner (in my case, I'm in the year 2020 using a planner that started in August 2019)? I hate to rip perfectly good pages out, but they're kind of useless and heavy. I got the notion to use the pages to swatch, but there's gotta be something better... You are super, btw, I keep watching your vids. :)
Thank you for this. Looks fun but can be a bit overwhelming~
New subscriber..love all the ideas, I may start a planner myself. :)
if you like to make stuff for your planner get a staples arch punch. but if you just putting assign pages like me. you should be fine with the mambi punch.
Interested in getting a planner and leaning towards a happy planner, if you don't mind me asking what style/design or collection is that particular planner? The cover is so cute!!
Great video, 😃
Do you have a playlist on how to keep a social media planner
Love your videos. I'm new to this - I wish i would have discovered this while my kids were at home, but i"m picking up the planner to start a "budget" planner to get my feet wet. Can you expand a nini planner? I bought the planner, but also the expansion budget pack - they don't all fit, so I was curious what you'd recommend? Just a few months at a time, or can I put bigger discs on the mini so I can have more than a few months on it? thanks! I'm going to keep on watching all the videos! they're awesome!
I’m brand new to the Happy Planner. I have a dated planner for 2018 on the way. I purchased a 6 month extension pack so I could start right away. I watched oodles of UA-cam videos and subscribed to your channel because I think you give the best advice! So...my question is: do you have a video on setting up and dating undated Planner pages? Im starting with October 2017 and there doesn’t seem to be enough weekly columns to get to Oct. 31. What do I do? Have you copied additional pages? Or do I put the last few days of October in the November tab? I’m confused!
Thanks great tips and I am a huge journal, planners love all the supplies but I start and stop so many times. And my life is in shambles, I need one for business for my goals ideas, home and huge one for health should I do one or maybe do 3 separate. I lose stuff so many notebooks lost, half started. I really like this happy planner, I have to try that paper mate fine marker pen. I have tried so many and well guess didn't try that one. Thanks I am inspired to get back into my life to organize my time. thanks
Many people in the planning community have more than one planner for various reasons. Happy planner comes in different sizes including BIG, Classic and Mini. They also have Faith, Fitness, Student and Teacher Planners as well and you can get the mini Planners in a horizontal style as well as some of the classic planners, of you want to try something different from vertical.
In your position, I would probably just start with two, a classic and a mini or if you want to just jump straight in, a classic, a mini and the fitness one will help. That way you'll have one immediately dedicated to health, one for on the go and one to keep at home for your goals. It's up to you though. I've always been a person who loves planning systems and journals and like you I've always dropped and started many over my lifetime, however I've found that I've stuck with my mini quite well because essentially it fits with my lifestyle and doing some of the decorations help to keep me motivated 😊.
Hi! I’m from the UK, just recently fallen over these planners (I’ve used a Filofax for years now but never liked their inserts so made my own). These HPs seem lovely and I’ve just ordered my first. My question is regarding the sticker books: do they work on horizontal layouts? Oh and also, I was looking to make a notebook out of the a5 paper I have left, do you know at all if the punch would work with punching for that sized paper or if it’s best to get a single punch and diy it? Thanks
Just wondering what you use for your big planner to mark the numbers for the days of the week. I have a big planner and am wondering if there is a more efficient way to mark the numbers for the days of the week ,other than writing them in.
What do you store your supplies in?
does the punch work with the mini?
Hi thank u for all your information on the planners.i am new at this myself.can u tell me the name of that sticker book and were in can get it
Could you do a video on how you plan in your big planner?? :) I would like to see some examples!
Morgan Ley the only big planners I use are my BIG memory planner and my BIG teacher planner. I have videos of both posted!
Is this what the planner entails? Like this is a “stock” planner. I add one no extension packs etc? New to Hp and been obsessed for last 48 hours. Watching videos. Looking online. Haven’t actually physically shopped yet but plan to on Saturday- gaining knowledge lol Just wondering what the planner will consist of on its own. Thanks 🙏🏻
Heather! Hello my name is Christina and I just wanted to tell you what a huge help and inspiration you've been to me. I'm a lifelong planner but I just discovered the Happy planner line last week and it was love at first plan lol but seriously I'm hooked and haven't even received my planner yet. I ended up choosing the momin aint easy planner and I'm super excited for it to get here. You've been such a huge help for me figuring out the basics of this system that can come off as very intimidating and overwhelming just bc of the sheer volume of products. I'm a widow and a waitress and a mom of 2 teenagers, 16 and 12 and so money's tight so I was wondering since you have butt loads of accessories and stuff you're not even using or able to use bc you've got so much would you be interested in paying it forward and helping out a newly found planner sister? Lol even if you can't or won't I still love your spirit and I've very thankful for your guidance. God bless you love!!! Oh ps are there Any certain accessories you advise me to get to go with the mommin ain't easy classic planner and also I want to get a happy Notes book for my goals plans dreams and projects. Any suggestions or do you have an extra one??!!!! Tia ♥
Michael's always have BIG DEALS on HP products on their Clearance section. That's the way I bought my HP planners and notebooks. Hope it helps you too.
Hi. I just bought a mini happy planner. Even though I'm supper excited I'm torn as to if I should have gotten a classic. I was scared off of the classic in the store because of the size of it and thinking it may not travel well. Now that I'm home I'm worried the mini won't be big enough to write in. SIgh. Any tips for this?
Jeanette Lafond there’s plenty of people that have multiple planners and use a mini one that stays in their purse or for traveling to put quick things in like a to do list or more and then their main planner stays at home on a desk and can store everything else like appointments, events, etc.
Help! What do you put on the monthly pages? Like, do you put stuff on the monthly pages and then copy it to the weekly pages?
Can you use the blue punch for your mini happy planner because I have two happy planners but I want to know for the mini happy planner. Thanks!😊❤️🎀💜
Camila Delgado yes you can just make sure you use the center line instead of the ends
TFS!! This is so useful for a beginner like me! 🙂👍🏻 I have a question. Can the paper punch punch out a piece of acetate or laminated paper?
Alyssa Herman it can but ppl try not to a whole lot bc it will damage it if you do it too much.. or you can use a regular hole punch and use scissors to make the cuts.. I lay a cover or paper over the one you want to create and use a pencil to mark the exact shape then you can use your regular punch and scissors to mimic the happy punch shape
The Arc punch will. It’s a pricey investment. Totally worth it.
What punch would I need to get to use for pages that are laminated or punch boards. Something thicker than a sheet of paper?😎
eve dallas arc punch
Does all the planners have the bookmarks
Dumb question...how do u add extra pages in planner when happy planner prints on both sides of divider and paper? Ie Mon to Wed on one side Thurs to Sun other side so if u wanted to add a notes page or weekly things to do page....u would only see the Mon to Wed side. ...
What would you say is the best planner for high school students ?
Graciela Villarreal i’m in high school and i use an online planner on my phone during school but for all of my non-school related things i use a happy planner (i got it discounted at walmart for way cheaper than the usual $30 and i use stickers and colored pens to decorate it). If you don’t like using such a big decorative like happy planners then regular agendas work too.
If you don't mind sharing... What do you use your various planners for?!
Camille Chatman Heather has some videos explaining what she uses each planner for on her channel xxx
Camille Chatman look for the video about my planner line up- it explains it all there!
I'm having trouble finding the dates & holiday sticker book in my area. Any recommendations?
Vickie Ann Try eBay. that's where found mines
You can order on line from Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Amazon. 😎
I am really trying to learn the system. I think your youtube videos are very long and drawn out. Is there another way to learn without spending hours watching videos?
Jennie Cash this video is 11 minutes. Most UA-cam videos are 10 minutes long. If that’s too long for you then no, I don’t have many you will want to watch. Otherwise, I have a happy planner 101 playlist with lots of videos that help newbies. Please remember that when learning something new, you have to invest time into it in order to improve.
