For a LONG time now many of you have been asking me to take a look at the HB90 Method Planner, a system created by Sarra Cannon for writers. I've heard rumor it works great for other creative entrepreneurs, which has me intrigued...

If you end up liking it this quarter, I'd take it to staples to get spiral bound next quarter. I can see the disks driving you crazy.

@dogmom371 3 жыл бұрын

If you don’t want to print at home, I sometimes send it to Staples! They will print, cut and bind them for you! You could also have it put on a coil! So many options🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Especially helpful if u want a smaller size, cuz that’s too much “math” for me to measure and cut lol 🥴😂🤣😂

I switched from Power Sheets to the HB90 system last year. I am a writer, and it worked marvelously as a work planner for creative & business projects. Late in the year I added the MakseLife system to help check-in with the other areas of life. I chose MakseLife over the Power Sheets largely because I really love how the creator of the planner, Sierra Friend, approaches goal setting. It's positive, but not flowery, which fits my personality better than the Power Sheets rah-rah bend. (Not to slam Power Sheets -- they were my buoy for two solid years and if they hadn't switched to the damned wire O binding I'd probably have stayed with them; I use the companion notebooks MakseLife came out with -- so I can continue to use the planner system that works for me but also get the MakseLife goal setting system.) The combination of MakseLife + HB90 is what I went with again this year because it worked so well, and half-way through the year it is still going strong. I'm happy to have a system that works really well AND is made up of products created by two women within our community. Sierra and Sarra are the kind of creators I want to support.

I LOVE that you’re testing out putting work goals in a separate planner! I can’t wait to see how this works for you. I usually tend to avoid printable planners too, but this looks amazing.

I have told my husband numerous times that I can't have a KZfaq channel because I am a cusser. I have LOVED your videos. I loved your kanban video and it was nice to see a walk thru of this one. You could 3-ring binder this too. 🙀 Those discs infuriate me! I make all of my own planner pages. I purchase the planners then take from them what I want to use and recreate the pages, print, cut, hole punch and bang it out!

I've followed Sarah's HB channel for a couple of years, and I really like her system. However, I haven't figured out how to make it work for me, so I will look forward to whatever you share about your progress. I don't think I could deal with the discs, though. I would use a regular 3-ring binder instead.

I've been curious about this planner. I love Sarra's channel. Looking forward to you planning in it. Powersheets seems a bit too robust for me, but this system seems like it is enough to keep you on track but not so much that you spend more time planning than doing.

I’ve been doing HB90 for a year now. Love it and the planner. I put mine one an old EC coil. Being realistic about my time has made all the difference. One of my three goals is writing, the other two aren’t writing related. The way goals are envisioned, then projects, then tasks and the Kanban board have been key to staying focused when things are humming along and even more so when life went off the rails. I was able to keep moving forward by having the next task right in front of me when I had the time to tackle one. Good luck with Q3!!

I agree with the suggestions to try alternatives like having it spiral-bound, using a 3-ring binder, or switching to better-functioning discs. The last thing you want to do is stop using a system that works well for you just because the binding is aggravating. Love both of Sarra's channels, especially Heart Breathings! Have you ever watched any of her monthly Notebook Challenges? They are amazing! She gives you great ideas for using up your own notebook/journal/planner stashes! Plus she does a monthly giveaway. It's funny how she simultaneously encourages you to use up your own stuff and gives away a notebook to add to your collection! 🤣 Seriously, though, if you haven't watched any of those, definitely check them out.

Thanks so much for reviewing this. I tried HB90 a couple years ago and really liked it. I quickly moved to doing the method in another planner because I didn't have a printer at the time. I may need to pick this method back up.

Thank you for reviewing this! I follow Heart Breathings as well and I've been considering this planner for a long time. I use the powersheets but I never manage to stick with it through an entire year. I'm tempted to try this now though.... Both because it's focused more on work and because it's quarterly -- I might actually be able to stick with it! :)

Seeing you in discs is a trip! I like discs for planners and/or notebooks that don’t have to travel a ton and where you need to change things up. Your planner is super pretty, too. I’ve been using HB90 for about three years, tweaking it for my idiosyncrasies. Hope it helps you with your work goals!

I highly recommend trying a different brand of disc. I don't like HP ones. I'm currently using the Talia brand (I found on Amazon) and really like how smooth the metals ones turn pages. I've also heard that, while pricey, Levenger makes really good discs as well. Can't wait to see how you set this up for your art!

@werelemur1138 3 жыл бұрын

I got some Levenger disks a couple of birthdays ago and are so nice!

@annec8127 3 жыл бұрын

Agreed. I use the Levenger and Talia discs and they don't catch the way I see yours doing. That being said, if you really hate discs but like the goal system, you could get it spiral bound at Staples. Not 100% positive they have anything better than a plastic spiral, which can also catch, but it's another option.

@missyb7311 3 жыл бұрын

Also I think the Levenger punch gives more room and makes the paper flow around the discs better

I'm late, but I use the HB90 system... some months more than others. I am a writer, but I also use it for my other freelance projects as well. I find that it keeps me more focused when I do use it. Powersheets never worked for me. For some reason, this one does. I hate discs, so I hole punched them and put them in a regular 3-hole binder. In the past, I've used the A5 and punched for a 6-hole binder, but I like the bigger version for much the same as you... I like the space to scribble all over it. I hope you enjoy it and it helps you. This video actually reminded me that I need to get back to using it more than I have been. Haha.

@nats6190 3 жыл бұрын

I love discs, but there’s a few tricks to making them work better. I use metal discs (Levenger Circa) and stick to 1-inch or smaller diameter. The larger the discs get, the more wobbly the notebook feels. Also, not all disc punches are made the same! I use the Levenger Circa punch and the punched-out “mushrooms” are bigger than those from, say, Happy Planner. This makes the pages turn more easily (in other words, no dragging or snagging!). I love the flexibility of the disc system, and as a leftie it works much better for me than a binder.

I'm actually thinking, now that you mentioned when you tried the kanban board, maybe Cindy it was your video that introduced me to Sarra? So thanks for that and thanks for the walk through. I will be really interested to see how you go using this system this quarter. P. S. Hope you're doing okay with the moving stuff right now 💛

I use the HB90 system. I started in the middle of Q3 last year. I went through my own ideas of trying to make it work for me. Discs work best for me so I can pull a single page or a spread out of the binding for stickers and whatnot. I tried letter-size, but I thought it was too much space for me; unfortunately the A5 size didn't quite work either. I ended up customizing printer settings in Adobe so the pages fit nicely in a Carpe Diem binder (rings removed)--essentially A5 wide. I fit one month at a time in the binder for carrying convenience along with a ton of space for notes. Pro tips: If you need printing, Staples, FedEx Office, and some UPS stores are good options. Same goes for binding and trimming pages to size.

Girl,I’m still trying to figure out exactly how I’m going to use this Recollections Wellness Planner. I’ve never used a planner like this I just always used a calendar that had enough room to write down appointments and kid reminders. In school I used a datebook to keep up with assignments and exams and stuff. This kind of planner is all new to me and since it’s about my wellness it’s different than a regular datebook type planner. I’m working on it though. I did take the idea of Goal, Project, Task to heart. I’m going to use that going forward. I’m thinking about y’all while you’re going through your move. Hope everything is running smoothly. Hugs.

I want to love this so much. I'm trying the HB90 now, but the font and the lightness of it is REALLY difficult for me to read (I'm dyslexic, so other people may have different mileage). I *can* read it, but I have to concentrate. I don't usually have to work that hard with other fonts and a darker print.

I am feeling so exhausted and not in a planning mood lately. I got a job as a special education para in March and worked until May, but unfortunately they didn’t have a summer position for me so I will not go back until mid August and won’t get a full paycheck until the end of September, so I have been trying to get a summer job and not succeeding. So basically I’m just staying home getting more and more desperate for money. No planning involved in that. Maybe I will try this in quarter 4 though. It looks interesting and helpful to set reasonable goals.
