I'm a newbie planner :) A few things I have learned: * I have tried several other times to use a planner and tbh my downfall was other planners and what I mean by that is that my planner was not as "pretty" as others, I didn't have all the cute accessories, etc. etc. I have come to realize that NO ONE else will be looking at my planner and I will just do what works for me and not hold my planner up to others expectations of what a great planner looks like. :) *You can use a planner WITHOUT all the extras. All you really need is a planner and a pen. *You don't have to go spend 60+ bucks on a planner. You can plan with a notebook & pen or there are many affordable options. *Just get started with each passing month you will find what works for you.

Heather, you covered so many of the same things that would be on my list too! One other thing I wish I had known was to “preplan” with sticky notes instead of going through the whole year and writing everything down on the pages!
@briannab5296 4 жыл бұрын
Nice idea .. but sticky notes have gotten soooooo expensive i rarely use them anymore. An erasable frixion pen or two works best for my budget.
@LauraPowell252 4 жыл бұрын
Good video. Thank you. I'd like to add with your pen tip, that paper makes a difference. Pens don't feel and perform the same on all papers. You may love a pen with one paper, but hate it with another. Keep trying different supplies and planner until you find what works best for you. Let your planners change as your life changes. Planning and planners are supposed to make your life easier and better. If they're not, change it. Happy 2020 to all planner friends! Have fun planning your best year yet!
@HAnnB24 4 жыл бұрын
It also depends (at least for me) what you are using the pen for - I'm not usually a fan of ball point pens (or at least i never used to be, might be changing now) but they are what I love for Pathfinder RPG nights because they right faster for me when i need to keep up with the notes

Wish I had known... That an easy weekly layout of washi top and bottom gets me off and running And that Michaels bargin bin has multiple fun washis 3-5 for one buck That a little casual scrap from pretty catalogs ,magazines , soap wrappers ,etc can be more fun than a carefully designed sticker That fooling around on a weekly layout .... I can sketch with colored pencils and a phone photo for inspiration - though I did not think I could draw before That yes it is ok to use Erin Condren plus disc planners for varied purposes - that a planner is more than that - it is an integrated time sensitive way to archive work , memories , and more

I love putting the planner supplies in the budget. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of that. We have a budget but never thought to add it. I know my husband and I give each other $25 of spending money when we get paid. I should start taking some out of that and put it aside for planning supplies. I also got way too much washi tape at first. I just use it mostly to put down the middle to cover up a pattern that doesn’t go with my color scheme. I love planning! I’ve been doing this for 2-3 years now I think. It helps me get so organized and remember what needs to be done weekly and monthly. I love how I can use the planner supplies to organize many different areas of my life. I love when you show how you do things with the budget for instance, so helpful!

Paget .. did you know the Frixion pens with caps have larger barrels to hold more ink than the clickable ones do? .. i DO LOVE Frixion. But ya have to be careful with them. I have a deskpad where i put various lists under the clear flap. I set a warm plate on it (because i like eating at my desk) and was upset to find the Frixin ink had disappeared from a list under it. Even after putting the list in the freezer overnite, the ink reappeared very faintly & spotty.

Well, I just dont feel like I have many options. I watched your classic color story video and bought 2 on amazon for $28. I bought 5 folls of washi and I hope this will solve my issues! I have the first 3 weeks planned out already. My first spread was horrible haha. The last 2 have been much better and I am sure they will be even better with the new stickers and washi. Thank you! I cant wait to dive in!

Thank you Heather! I started using my Happy Planner/Tul planner/Arc planner when my phone dumped my calendar. I knew then that I had to start writing down my schedule of events. I have 5 kids and to lose all of their school schedules was heart wrenching. So, I now keep a paper planner and I love the disc bound planners because if I dont get something done on my To Do list, I just take it out and move it to the next day. That's why I haven't gone back to a spiral bound planner. But like you said, it is a personal decision on which planner you use.

1) Dollar Tree and the 1/3/5 section at the Target entry have planner stickers, journals, binders, mini post-its and other accessories! The packs are smaller and usually more seasonal. If you're new and trying to see what works for you and how you use the accessories it's a good way to test different things without blowing your whole budget on one item. When you figure out how you're using the planner, you can make smarter purchases. 2) I'm not sure if anyone said this yet, but you CAN return/exchange items you don't use in the original packaging. Check the return policy at your local store. Most stores accept returns with receipt up to 30, 60 or even 180 days! If there's no receipt or it's beyond their return period you can still usually get a store credit at the lowest sale price. (Better than taking up space in your house and making you feel guilty for buying it.) If I buy something that looks fun, but it sits for over a month without me having to go in the book for a sticker, I put it in the return bag. Or I put it in the "gift" pile - I like to keep thoughtful gifts ready for whenever! 3) Some of the stores near me are having test groups. They have a session where you can try different pens / papers and meet with other planner people. You can also try out accessories like punches to find the ones that work best for you. If there isn't one scheduled near you, ask if they have a test area...sometimes they can repurpose the good pieces from 'damaged packs' or returned items to encourage more sales and less returns. 4) Learn how to make your own dividers and folders with different hacks and office supplies. It's not always easy to find what you need in the size you need it, but if you are willing to make one yourself you can get exactly what you want. It will get easier after the first one, but you have to keep trying!!! You can make a super customized planner that makes you so happy you can't wait to open it to the next section :-)

Love this video! Only a couple comments to add that might be helpful for newbies. I learned to be smart about watching for sales and/or coupons to purchase products. Michaels and Joann both run sales on Happy Planner items frequently. I also learned that new products will be released by Happy Planner at least twice a year (if not more often). So if what you are looking for isn't available right now just give it a few months and something new will be coming. The negative to this is that it can make it really hard to resist buying the new stuff every few months 😊

Thank you for this very helpful video. I am so glad I found it. I am planning for about 2 years and have kind of become addicted to buying stickers, planning supplies. I realize it and your point about setting a budget just for planning is great. I will set one up and the point you made about your organizing things when you started planning is happening to me. My thoughts are more focused and I need to stick with it. The best part was the talk you gave on Faith planning. I have stickers and have one notebook I am dedicating to just that. That has meant a lot to me. Thank you.

I'm a newbie Planner. 2020 is my first, and if I could describe it in one word, it would be "magical." I can't really explain it. I'm only on my first week and already I feel like it's reached inside my soul, pulled out all the insides and rested it's light on all the possibilities I've carried inside me and now I get to watch "me" grow. Thank you for your insights into the world of Planning. I only hope I can do this form of art some justice 😍😍😍

Great video Heather! Love your enthusiasm. I went into Joanns to get a planner (60%off!) and an employee totally poo-pooed me when I asked where the "other" planner section was. She thought the HP craze was crazy and ridiculous. But I realized that she doesn't know me at all! I could NEVER plan on a phone (which she advised me to do, for crying out loud.) I am a paper/pen girl and I also wear MANY hats around here. I am responsible for homeschooling my boys, in charge of my dad's meds, my mom's appts, my husband's appts, MY appts, bills, church events, pet appts, and when we need to clean the fridge!!! And that's just the tip of it...HPlanning has transformed my life, made me productive, AND has supplied a creative outlet for me that I really needed. I get a lot of joy out of improving my handwriting, checking things off and....yup.....washi tape. The lady at J's has no idea....so there. And too bad about the negativity....terrible...ignore it.

Isn’t it their job to sell you a product? So they should just accommodate you and not tell you how to plan! I love my Happy Planner as well!!

This is great! I REALLY love that you mentioned that you purchase items that you yourself don't actually use, but buy them solely to demonstrate/flip-through them on your channel. I like that you made it very clear that this is your business and source of income. So often, many of us, myself included, see planning videos created by people who have "all of the things", with the lovely beautifully decorated planner space, and feel serious planner envy. :-) We forget, or don't realize that they weren't purchased for personal use, but as a business expense. For some folks dealing with planner stuff all day is WORK. It may be a fun job, but it's still work in the end.

Hey Heather. I love your content and am so inspired by your planning style. I totally get that it can get expensive. Especially since I’m from Scotland (UK) and we don’t have a michaels etc. So factor in shipping and it’s crazy! I’m new to the community, started my own planner of random lists, journalling etc. in August and I now have a Happy Planner for 2020. I’m soooo excited. I love it! Can’t wait to get into the community 💜

I am so glad I found this video because I've just started using the Happy Planner. I was using spirals and my phone and neither work for me because I need to be able to see my entire week - ALL week, all day - so that I can remember important items/dates. I have to admit I wanted to buy so much more but realized quickly that I wouldn't use all of those stickers and accessories, just because they don't fit into my lifestyle. This video was SUPER HELPFUL! THANK YOU!!

Hi! The algorithm brought you to me. I love how genuine and down-to-earth you are. Your sincerity and support just shine through your vids. I just started planning this year in a Pipsticks/Workman planner. I didn't know there was this huge planning community, and to be honest I like doing my own thing with Crayola markers and stickers left over from when I taught piano *lone wolf planning*. So I love how you emphasize that this is about YOU and YOUR PLANS and not about looking good on social media. And thanks for the reassurance that I don't have to buy all the washi tape (I got one to start, but it's kind of thick for how I want to use it)...The one sticker I wish I had was that long narrow one (like your budget one) to cover up some stuff I don't use on my monthly view...put that space to WORK!! tl;dr Thanks for being you. :)

Thanks Heather I am sticking to my current planner/organizer brand Mahavir industries planner, after listening to you. Maybe I will buy the Happy Planners next year 2021 as currently I don't have the time to spend on details.

I love my filofax and kikki.K A5 ring binders but with Happy Planner insides and stickers from ALL over the place. I use everything and anything that catches my attention. :) Planning should make us happy.
