Hey, guess what? Nobody has the right to criticize your spreads! Your spreads are fabulous, fun, expressive, and YOU. Anyone who doesnt appreciate your work can just scroll on by.

@flowatress Жыл бұрын

Exactly! Or as my daughters say “that part”! I love your spreads but that’s not the reason I watch. I watch because of YOU! Your conversation and your rawness. Keep doing you!👍🏽

I remember running to the bathroom and back during commercial breaks. HURRY!!! Also though, I used to get some much DONE during commercials: homework, switch laundry, unload dishwasher. Now, I never think of pausing my binge watching to get stuff done.

Oh Mary Ellen thank you for the walk down memory lane. Yes I remember when you had to be home to see your show or you would miss it. I can do you one better ------I remember when the TV shows would actually sign off at midnight! Anybody else in the comments remember that?? There was no option to stay up all night long and make yourself sick and tired at work the next day. All the television shows went off , The American Flag waving in the wind with the national anthem playing in the background heralded you into an obnoxious beep tone and black screen🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sometimes it's really nice to look back. Thank you Mary Ellen.

"Therapy" could also be for physical therapy or occupational therapy, etc. I don't feel it announces mental health issues. You are also so transparent with us about your life which is appreciated but never feel any of it is a negative thing. It's real life. Thinking of you this week and Thanksgiving as I go through this first holiday season after the loss of my son.

I hope the holiday season goes ok for you. X

@ilibertyi Жыл бұрын

I wish I could find a good therapist, and I do have mental health needs. Another abbreviation for therapy is "thx" just like an abbreviation for medicine or prescriptions is "Rx". I have a MA in psychology, and we use "X" for many abbreviations. But you may not like that. I have ADHD and other diagnoses, so this spread, although beautiful, would definitely overwhelm me. LOL. But you do you!!! LOVE the color. Thanks for sharing your life!!

@niinavilja9196 Жыл бұрын

Oh I thought I wasn’t that old but yes... the commercial brakes 😄 you really had to plan to be able to do all the things during it. Now, I somtimes do leave commercials on even I could scroll past those, and I have a feeling that they are even longer nowadays that in the 80’s-90’s! And your after the pen videos and pics: they are so inspirational and beautiful and fresh! I wish I also could make something as intresting to look at in the future when flipping thru old planners ❤

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for going thru and talking about how you plan, etc. I've watched so many videos over the years, and have been kind of afraid to use the billions of stickers I've bought! It's given me anxiety every time I've sat down to start to plan. 😥 Thank you so much! You were so relaxed, which is exactly what I needed to see/hear. Happy holidays!

@lynndostie5859 Жыл бұрын

I really like your planner layouts and how you use your planner. I’m fairly new to decorative planning and, so far, my layouts are very uninspiring. I’m not very busy either so I’m never sure what to write either. Your videos are so helpful!

@flowatress Жыл бұрын

No worries! You will get more and more creative. I felt the same now I have boxes of stickers, a hole punch, etc. once you start planning everything you realize you have more to do lol. I started mostly with functional stickers until I became consistent with planning then it grew from there. Hang in there! Using my planner is therapeutic for me.

@stitchitupmom Жыл бұрын

I love your layout and how you fill in daily. Its in a so all over the place way, and so me. I have been planning a couple years, but just started getting into watching yt, fb, and such. I always felt like my spreads were so busy, and full, and sometimes just so over the place. I see so many planners and they are so neat and simple, so beautiful. I keep saying to myself to slow down. I just watched this tonight and was so in my happy place. Thank you. I realized I can be my busy all over the place adhd self and be happy doing to. I really enjoyed how you use all different kinds of markers, it makes it so interesting!!

@PlanningwithBumble Жыл бұрын

Everyone plans so differently, and my brain does work in such a chaotic way. So I think my spreads sort of replicate that!

Hi Mary Ellen and Bumble. First, hugs for the puppy. Second, I love your energy, even during a struggle. Third, a question. I'm doing a lot of planner research as I plan my retirement from a lifetime of September starts as a teacher. I like the notion of scrapbook planning in rings, but have to do some serious stuff in planners as well, which I can only find so far in a couple of bound planners. Do you know of a vertical layout that has 24 hours like the Jibun Techo (most of the night blocks are half the size of the day). I need a sleep tracker, but I need it next to daily activities so I can read the relationship between sleep and activity. Most sleep trackers are separate, and sort of pointless, since they don't make this connection. I know I could find a washi or something, but that would bulk up the same spots in each spread over time. Just wondered if something exists before I consider designing my own. You know more about this system than anyone else on youtube. Thanks.
