YESSSS! I just got my 2021 planner and sooooo excited about it. I love seeing PP bringing more planner babes on board!
I have struggled for YEARS to find a planner that had everything I wanted in one place. Tired of lists and bits of paper and a planner or bullet journal. After 6 months of research (YT vids), I settled on the 6 month PPP daily 8x11. I added some sections and customized my categories. I was SO excited when it arrived and I’ve used it daily since. The priorities helps me focus and get things done! I will change some categories/add-ons but I LOVE my Plum Planner. It feels like it’s MINE. Next step- stickers and dashboard kits. I have never invested so much time or money in a planner (Cdn $ and shipping made it EXPENSIVE) but I have zero regrets.
Yes! That’s why I really love Plum Paper! The customizations are so nice and really help me make my planner my own. I’m so glad you found something that works for you, and you can just tweak it from here 🎉😊
Exactly !!!i I’m also in Canada . And always been a travelers notebook / bujo person , then seen all these planners and HAD to try ., so i bought a plum paper for my homeschool planner , and then a Erin condren for my personal planner , and friggg i LOVE my homeschool planner , and regret my EC so much :( , theres just SOmuch you can do with a plum paper , and Sam with the stickers , and the subscription stickers ( that EC doesnt sell in canada ) . But I’m liiteralllly here watching this because I’m in the process of purchasing another plum paper , and just ditching the erin condrin , because i feel SO underwhelmed when i go in my EC . Compared to when i open my PPP for homeschooling .
This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing. The most important thing is that you feel joy! I’m so happy that you found that again and can’t wait to see the spreads and plan with me videos in this planner!!
Thank you so much! I’m trying to learn that lesson in other parts of my life too! If it’s not bringing me joy, then I need to reassess... whether it’s a physical object, hobby, people, anything! Can’t wait to start planning in this planner too! 😀
I am coming back to Plum Paper after a few years of Happy Planner. So excited !
Omg, I started planning again and I love happy planner, but felt it was not as functional, out of the box, and was so frustrated. So I turned to passion planner for my business and personal goals and plum paper planner as like my "catch all" for home, kids, appt, etc. So happy and can't wait for my plum planner to arrive next week. Excellent choice!
I’m so glad you’re excited! I absolutely love my Plum Paper!
This really helped me focus in on what I need in a planner. I liked how you focused on 5 things! Thanks so much for posting this video! I can't wait to see the first plan with me!
Thanks Val! It definitely took me a while to figure out what I wanted 😂 I can’t wait to move in!
This is a great video, thank you for taking be back to the basics :~)
Funny thing: last week I ordered this same layout because I fell in love with this layout and planner when I was on my search for someone new to get me back in track and want to open it everyday!! Thanks, Heather
Yay! I really don’t know of many people with this planner layout, but I love it! It’s such a nice feeling to actually WANT to open your planner every day 😀
I totally agree with leaving the rows blank. I'm testing out a mockup of this layout with the intention of ordering one, and I have already changed my mind about what I want each row to be for!!
Right!? Things change too much for me to commit to 6 set categories! Plus I feel like I can move the categories around if I want to be more decorative in some weeks. Flexibility is my jam 😂
Loved this!
Now I can finally get a 7x9 because YOU are making stickers for it!! YES!
Yes!!! 🎉🎉🎉 so exciting! Have fun designing your dream planner on their website... I could spend hours on there customizing! ☺️
this is a great video, I’ve never seen this particular planner before. I’m in Arizona too 😊
I appreciated you going through your thought process. I’m using the EC Petite Daily Planners for my everyday and a Life Planner for memory planning for 2020, but as you said the company’s issues left a bad taste in my mouth. I’m currently leaning toward the Plum Paper Planner as well. 😊
Marika 😊
great video 😃
For goal setting - I use the repeated week in the plum planner. Since the first/last week of each month is repeated I plan in the last week and then cover the dates of the first week and use that weekly spread as a goal setting/monthly accountability page.
GENIUS! I’ll try that in October! I may do actual in-depth goal setting in the MakseLife or Powersheets since there’s more room, but I’d love to have little bullet point reminders of my weekly goals on that extra week spread! 🤩 thank you so much for that suggestion!
@@MonarchPlans You are welcome! I started doing this in July and it has been a total game changer!!
@@bbresnan7649 I'd love to see how you do this!
@@hollydianehackney2835 if you go to my channel there are some goal setting videos in my plum paper planner that show how I set it up!
I LOVE my PPP!! So excited to see how you use yours. New subbie 💚💙
Thank you so much! I’m loving mine so far too! 😊
I’ve ordered from several sticker shops for my vertical Plum Paper Planner; Oak and Palm Paper Co, Fern Creek Stickers, Krissy Anne Designs, Planner Kate, and Kaysi’s Designs. I look forward to ordering from your shop soon!
That’s so helpful to see that list! I’ll need to check the ones out that I haven’t heard of 😊
I’ve got all Erin Condren and just couldn’t find my style until the undated teacher planner I found at target. I’m using it now but I’m buying a plum planner ME. I like it’s customization options can’t wait to get it. Thanks for sharing.
No problem! The undated teacher planner at Target led me to the ME planner too! They have such similar setups and I really liked the teacher planner, but just didn’t like the 8.5x11 size. I hope you love your ME planner!
This is great!
I know this vid is a yr old but I just came across it. You won me starting at about 14:30. I had to subscribe and buy a load of your Etsy stickers. Thank you, I appreciate you and your candid honesty. That’s all we all want; honestly and truth. The two things we can all work with. Oh, I just ordered a PPP too.
You make a lot of good points. I’ve considered the plum paper. Inreally like the idea of how customizable PPP is and all the add ons. One thing that make me hesitate is the paper. I love the texture of the ECLP and worry I won’t like the PPP paper.
The paper is definitely different. I like it, but I know many people that don’t. It would be nice if they offered some way to test out the paper without needing to buy an entire planner or notebook!
I also ordered my PPP yesterday in the Horizontal theme
Should be getting my Plum Paper Me Planner today!!😆
Yay! So exciting! I hope you love it!
Thank you for this. You really helped me to decided on what I was needing in my planner. I too, had an Erin Condren and I tried to get back in to it but it just wasn't working for me. I have already ordered a daily from plum paper and now I am thinking of ordering a vertical from them as well.
I’m so glad you found it helpful! I love both my daily and my ME planner from Plum Paper. I love how many different layout options they offer!
It's weird. I am the kind of person who can't stand the thought of having every hour scheduled though that's probably why I am not super organized. The layout you picked interests me, but sorta as a glorified to do list. I already have a digital calendar set up so I am trying to figure out ways of tracking when I am doing certain tasks. I was thinking it would be nice to have a daily gratitude section. I really enjoy journaling. I would want to have a to do list, but sectioned off into either different classes or potentially morning, afternoon, and evening. It's hard to know what spread I would like. I dislike the idea of looking at a long list of items to do. However, seeing how I am spending my time makes me feel happy and accomplished.
I have placed my first order for Stickers from PlannerKate and AlexandraNicolePlans which I'm super excited for. But I have the PPP Vertical Priorities which doesn't have as many options for stickers.
Would the A5 size fit in a folio style TN?
PPPs website is ssssooooo overwhelming. I am using EC and a bujo have for years. My bujo is my running to do list with a “spread” per week. Don’t necessarily want to switch but the Yellow Paper House layout is intriguing. It could possibly allow me to combine my EC and my bujo.
I have been looking for a new planner for 2022 and I have been looking into the Plum Paper for a while. I was leaning toward the vertical priorities layout but since watching some of your videos I am thinking of getting the ME layout. I do have to ask about the Meal prep does it come with a full year or do you have to request it in the comments section when ordering. I also love how in depth you go into planning it has made me become better at it myself.
Thank you! The planner comes with a year worth of the meal planning pages! 😊
Romina Rossa sells stickers for the plum paper planner.
where in arizona do you live? i live in prescott
My Plum Paper Planner gives me “planner peace” too!
I’m so glad! It’s such a great feeling, isn’t it!?
@@MonarchPlans it sure is!
Can you do a video on what pens works best with this planner?
Sure! Let me know if there are any specific type of pens you’d like to see me try out!
I need the motivation to re open my shop
It can be really hard to get motivated! Maybe just think of one small step you could take to get you going in the right direction... nothing overwhelming, but something to just get you started!
Why don’t you like discs?
