Thanks so much for making this video! Sometimes I start buying everything everyone else seems to have and then get overwhelmed by everything

"Comparison is the thief of joy!" I love it! Will make a sticker for my planner with that quote.

Oh how I wish I saw this 4 hours ago! I literally just bought my first Happy Planner from Michaels and I figured I didn't need the stickers, but I love the pages. But honey, I'm going back TOMORROW to get all the stickers!!!! This was therapy just watching you, so my bestie was right...I should've gotten them! 😩🤗😂

I have seen several videos on how to plan and how to get started, and you are by far the best one so far. You really explain why you do things and to make things looks good. I love that you take the time to tell us what stickers you like the most and why. So happy I found your channel. Thank you!

Where have I beeen?! This is a real how to video! Thank you!

Thank you ! I was sitting here staring at an empty planner . So many good ideas. Not so scary anymore .

I know a year later, but very new to planning/journaling... and overwhelmed. This was great. Got a few of the sticker books sometime ago and just starred at them. Know not rocket science but just never did or used anything like this and like you said, didn't know where to start. Thank you SO much Heather. This was awesome!!!

Who gives a thumbs down on a planning video? If you don't like someone's planning style just move on. This isn't politics or religion folks. I love Heather's style of planning.

I know this video is older now but i just want to say thank you! I just ordered my first planner and I am a little stressed about it. I was never a planner person but now at 29 I am helping to take care of my mother who has developed some serious health issues. Obviously with that comes tons of appts and reminders to take meds etc, and she just has never been good at remembering stuff. Everyone says to just use my phone but I like having a physical copy I can hold and go back to. Long story short this has helped me feel like I can make a nice spread and enjoy doing this even if it is all new for me.

I recently bought my very first Happy Planner and I was SO excited to get started on it, but I had no idea where to begin. I should also mention that I’m a VERY indecisive person! I began searching for videos on how to decorate my Happy Planner, various methods of planning, etc. However, the videos I watched were either not helpful to me or not what I was looking for. Then I came across your channel and I couldn’t be happier!! I just wanted to let you know that you’ve helped me SO much with my new Happy Planner! You’ve answered so many questions that I had, you’ve explained what various stickers are used for and you’ve given me a lot of inspiration! You’re excellent at explaining things and providing great examples! I love your videos!! Again, I’m so happy I came across your KZfaq channel!!

I was just gifted my first planner and I'm so excited!

You're the best Heather! What a nice video for new planners (and of course another super cute spread!) 💖

Wahoo I needed this video, just bought my first planner and can't wait to get my life organized and beautiful. My inner scrapbooker is so happy to plan and decorate. Sooo glad I found this and you

So beyond helpful. I’m a huge planner person. I love my planner. But today I bought my first happy planner and some sticker packs as well, and got beyond overwhelmed when trying to figure out how to decorate! I didn’t even know that was possible when using a planner. But now I have an idea and I’m excited!

You are such a joy to watch...Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement.

What a great video for beginners and planners everywhere! Wish I would have had this when I started! I was terrified to start. So afraid of messing up. Great tips! Thank you!

Thank you, Heather. I am enjoying your videos. I'm not a particularly crafty or artistically creative person, but it's never too late to learn!

Thank you. I'm so glad I stumbled across these planners today. I've been wanting to do a "bullet journal" for a while. I need more happiness in my life. I struggle with a bit of depression and am constantly pushing myself forward to achieve personal, professional, and fitness goals. I can't wait to see all the wonderful things I achieve in the coming year.

You’re my spirit animal 😩💘 .. so grateful for your videos . Found you last night been binge watching all night and morning 💘✨💘✨💘✨💘✨💘✨💘✨💘

Thank you so much! I've been using the Happy Planner for almost a year and feel SO inspired right now!

Loved it and it’s exactly what I was looking for. I also love the comparison quote. Great job and thank you.

You are so calm. ..so many are buzzy crazy.thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. I am a newbie to the Happy Planning community. I get so inspired by your you tube videos. You make everything look so easy. Thanks for sharing about the two sticker books.

Such a great video. So glad to see I am not the only one who cuts and saves pieces.

I LOVE YOUR ADVICE YOU GIVE ,THAT THE LAYOUT THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR TO DO .

Ive been planning 2 years now, but sometimes I'm still at a lost on how to decorate with a more functional purpose. This is the best video ever it has helped me tremendously with future planning. Thank you

Thank You for sharing; I'm a newbie and this has helped! I LOVE Your #2 " Comparison is the thief of joy !". OH how true !

Hello Heather!! I am brand new to planning with no idea on how to start. I just ordered my first happy planner and other goodies to go with it, can't wait for it to arrive. I am so excited. Your video is absolutely what i needed to see. Thank you so much!!!

Oh my goodness, you’ve helped me so much. I’m literally making my first ever planner and I was at a total loss and now I feel confident to use it. I love your videos and thank you!

I think this is one of my fav planner videos. So many people use so many stickers that I feel like I can’t even see the plans. And that’s fine if that works for someone but I’m really glad to find someone who still makes such a beautiful spread without totally covering the pages and still wants a box to be functional. I will definitely be using that tip to layer stickers to retain the functionality of a box and I love how you did the meal planning list!

I’m brand new to ‘Happy Planners’ and absolutely love your style and ideas...

After watching so many of your videos, I think I have built up some confidence of starting one serious one if I want. Thanks for your kind effort. Lots of blessing!

Love this video. I have a horizontal hp but these tips are so useful can't wait to use them for next weeks layout.

Omg you did what I did with the back cover as the front cover! I love that line of live creatively, too!

Thank you so much for sharing your thought process as you were decorating! So many people don't do that and it was super helpful! I finally made a weekly spread I actually like after watching this.

Thank you! I’m in the Uk and completely new to planning. I’ve just ordered a load of stuff from our best shopping channel and am now impatiently waiting for everything to arrive! I can’t wait to get started and this video has been a great inspiration...... now I’m even more impatient! Xx

Thank you for this video. I have been using Happy Planner for about 6 months and I have neglected to have fun with it. I started watching videos to help me fall in love with it again. Thanks. This has helped.

I literally just found your page after searching for how to decorate my planner. NEW SUBIE ALERT!!! :)

Thanks for making this video. It's a great idea. I know when I first started planning I was a little overwhelmed and confused about how it all worked. I can see this helping a lot of people.

Heather I love your videos. You are teaching me so much and I’m having so much fun with my planners. Thank you

This layout is so cute. Love the glasses! I’ve been planning for a while but still Learned some great tips from this! Thank you!

Thank you! This was a great video. Starting not to feel so overwhelmed!

This is so helpful. Thank you for your video. Your such a sweetheart !

I’m a planner newbie. This video has helped give me much direction. I know it’s a year and some later that you posted but it was right on time for me. Thank you for sharing

Love your videos, Heather. I've just started with my first HP and your videos are really helpful!

I watched you in Jan when I first started. You are amazing. Thank you for your tips; favorite pens, hashtags, what to track in your planner, etc. Those videos were also helpful. And yes those 2 sticker books are so helpful to beginners. I refer new planner people to your youtube channel.

You are so helpful and so nice. I can't wait to watch more of your videos.

Thanks Heather!! This video gave me lots of good ideas!!

I love your little side comments; you seem like you have a fantastic personality. Thanks for posting!

I love this you are so my vibe , I can’t stand watching planning videos and the person is so ocd about it lol I’m kinda everywhere on my planner lol

Thanks, I just bought a whole bunch of Happy Planner stuff and this is so helpful!!!

So very helpful...I didn't know where to start.. I love the stickers! Thanks a bunch!

I LOVE this video. Thank you so much!! It takes me hours just to do The previous month’s spread hahaha I’m not even on the right month. I’ve had a Happy planner for a while, but I can never keep up with the decorations. Instead, I have opted in becoming a sticker hoarder. I have SO many stickers and barely use them because I feel so overwhelmed, but I love them all!! ❤️ Thank you again!

I just found you, and I just got my first wellness planner and some stickers. Now I think I can start! THANK YOU!

Thanks, Heather, for this video! Super helpful for this beginner!

Thank you very much Heather... I am about to start planning and believe that the stickers I have ordered are similar to those used in this video. This video was helpful, because you used stickers in a way that is new to me and very inspirational. I think that for visual people, if a planner has a happy and positive look we would be more drawn to it and actually use it.

Thanks for sharing this... Starting to decorate a planner spread is similar to staring at a blank white page (artwork/card/journal/etc.)... Although it's still difficult for me to "see" the functionality of a prepared layout working on a daily basis and getting to a finished layout, I appreciate the encouragement to just START and I will find my own style through practice. Thanks again and have a great day!

Thank you!! I really took a lot from this video!!! Thank you for sharing and educating me on so many options!!

Thanks. Very helpful. Just purchased my first ever Happy Planner😁😁😁😁

I bought a planner, just a simple plain white notebook planner for 2021. So I thought of watching videos to see how other people do with their planner. Can't believe there's a planner community LOL and I love that everyone's being creative makes me want to add designs on mine. I decided to start using planner for 2021 cause I will be a full time artist 🥰 this video motivates me more thank you!

I’ve jumped into the Happy Planner community very recently. I have two planners for 2019- life/goals and fitness. Thank you for this video! It gave me some ideas as I begin to figure out my style of planning!

Old video, simple format, but Wow! Super helpful for this HP Newbie!! Thank you!

Thank you for this video! It was very helpful and such a super cute layout:) I am new to happy planner and my first attempt was yesterday and it’s ok but very messy. Love that you don’t break up the boxes for specific things. I would love to see a video on using the planner to break down by times some way :) Thanks again adding your channel :)

Thank You so much. I got excited and bought the Happy Planner and some stickers....then had no idea what to do!

Thank you for this video! I have been so afraid to start designing, and your tips gave me courage to just get in there and see what I like. I do like your style of planning and I'm going to go check out your other videos!

Loved it, my favorite colors.

Thank you for this video. It was exactly what I was hoping to find. Got a new planner and still haven't used it because i just wasn't sure how to begin. Thanks for the ideas.

Thanks girl! This video was just what I needed, you nailed it in the head for me, the lil starting point corner.. simple and so helpful! Your voice is also very calming☺️

This is SO helpful and inspirational! 😍 I’m new to planning I always love the idea of it but never actually done it so I’m starting for the new school year since I’m a sophomore at university and I NEED to get organized. THANK YOU

Thanks for doing this video, I didn’t think a happy planner was for me. I have changed my mind.

Planner newbie here! This video was so helpful. I've gotten some stickers however needed creative/functional ideas on how to use them. You are so organized! I love it!!Thanks for sharing!

I love this! Great ideas! Thanks for posting.

I tell everyone i meet that they need one. i just got my sister and niece to join the HP family. we are going to our first HP class at Michaels tomorrow! Im so excited.. PLEase do more of these videos. Your the best!.. stay blessed Heather. GG your forever HP follower...

Thank you so much for sharing this video!! Much needed...

So I got my first planner for Christmas and have been thinking of ways to make it pop out...and be more exciting to caught my eye...it's almost the end of this month and I got some great ideas from you...thank you for your inspiration...NEW SUBSCRIBER

Loved your use of the “what’s for dinner?” Stickers. Good way to conserve your stickers AND be flexible

This was so helpful! I was so excited when I bought my first Happy Planner but sadly it had been sitting on my table unused for 4 months because I was afraid of how to start! I've now set up my first week and am already looking forward to setting up next week's! Thanks!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, FOR SHARING IM GOING TO CHANGE UP MY STYLE A LITTLE WITH YOUR TIPS LIKED IT VERY MUCH......GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS .....

This helped me so much. I was at hobby lobby this morning and didn't know how to put my planner together so I didn't get anything and left, then tonight I watched this video. Think I am going back tomorrow and start again. Thanks

Heather, awesome job!! As usual!!

I love so many of your ideas. I live in my planners. This will be the first year I have a HP though and I hope to use only 2 planners. I am older now, but when all 6 kids were at home and adding in having the 6 foster kids, I had to make my own designs for many portions of my planners to fit that many kids. Then I also color coded each child because it was more efficient to just use dots of color instead of their full name, LOL. Thanks for inspiring me to get my planners filled with such fun things.

Thank you! I really had no idea what the craze was, though I knew it had to do with planning books and stickers. Your video made it crystal clear. Still not sure it is for me, but can definitely see the appeal.

Thank you!!! I have wanted to start this, but feel so overwhelmed. Seems silly, but I just didn't know where to start! I'm definitely a new Sub. Take care! 💜

Thank you 😭. This just saved my life 😭.

I Love watching your videos...you are a Great help to us newbies!!! Thank you for all you do to help. It is very over whelming when you are just starting in this world of decorating a planner. The hardest thing for me is where to start! The monthly ones are the hardest for me. I just stare at the pages like (ok what do we do??) LOL!!!

Omg! Thank you! You have totally inspired me and made it so simple!

Thank you for sharing this inspiration. I've never tried to plan with the stickers. My first Happy Planner was nothing but columns of written words---boring 🙄. Now I have to try to do this! My husband says I over plan and don't do, so I have to do stuff😆! Have fun 🤗💗!

Wow, thank you for such a helpful video!! I’m one of those confused ones, not knowing where to start, and this was a tremendous help!!

Thank you Heather. I didn't know how to start and I was a little nervous. I will be using your ideas .

Finally, someone addressed the 3-boxes-per-day question that I've had! I've been into Discbound books for a number of years, and am only getting into the Happy Planner now, and the 3 boxes confused me. I didn't know if they were morning/afternoon/evening boxes, or what. I plan on designing my own spreads but wanted to really understand the functionality of the weeklies so I can make the most out of them. Thanks for the informative video!

Thank you for the video, Heather. I am one that needs some ideas regarding organizing and decorating a planner. I am a sticker girl for sure! Planning is new to me and I appreciate the tips.

You gave me a few ideas 💡 I am not a new planner just got in a rut of that fear of messing up my new planner. Yes, it seems to happen each time I get a pretty 🤩 new planner. It’s not just beginners it happens to.

I have those two sticker books! I got them a couple years ago when I first started planning. I never could get the hang of it all so I just used the monthly layout for appointments. But the last couple weeks I have been so inspired to get back into it. I'm gonna get a personal Happy Planner next year but for now I'm planning in my undated Recollections personal planner that I already had. This is an awesome video!

I love your handwriting!!!

Thanks Heather. I have my first planner to start this year 2021.

Thank you so much for making this video. I am super new to the planning community and there are so many things out there that it can be very overwhelming.☺☺

Planner newbie, thanks for doing this video. It helped a lot. Still need to decide on planner. 🙂
