Hi, and thank you for your helpful advice. I began the process of changing myself approximately a year ago. I'm now healthier, happier, and more confident, debt-free, earning six figures, and having time to spend with family and friends. I'm happier and live my life for myself. This is to encourage someone that "you can start anytime to have a reset, it's worth it!" I'm working hard to keep growing cus it's a journey 💓

I love the idea of a "positive pants" planner! I think I'll try doing something like that in my unused monthly pages.

I love seeing your updates and how you use your planners. I also love that you help ease my guilt for not finishing a planner if it isn't working for me. I have never used Erin Condren. If I get down to Austin I want to go to the store and check it out. I ove Planner Perfect and Mary Engelbreit. I use both because I found them through you. Thank you Amanda

The biggest thing I appreciate about seeing your videos is that they do not look perfect. They are USED, with quick writes, and are functional! For me, I just need to get ideas down, and make my planners WORK for me. Work is MESSY, and I need to let myself just relax and make mine be a bit messier. Sometimes just writing something down helps me remember and I never refer to it again. Thank you!

Instantly subcribed, because you used familiar LDS lingo. It is nice to see a fellow saint talk about things i am interested in. I am always looking for fellow saints to fallow. Thanks for your channel.

My stack this year includes a passion planner medium Monday start for my EDC, a plum paper planner monthly for my budget and bills tracker, and laurel denise monthly project planner for my work social media /content planner, and power sheets for goal planning. Thanks for sharing your planners!

Loved this update! I also am always encouraged by your videos to be flexible with my planner and use it as it suits me and move into others as new inspiration strikes! Loved the Positive Pants planner idea! 😂 I’d love to hear a future update about that, and I am going to think about trying that since I’m in a harder season. ❤ Love your videos!

I've used PowerSheets for a few years. Lately, it doesn't feel right for me. I tried adding Passion Planner Weekly this year and am not a fan of having the two planners. I've been playing with the scripting method that Jenny uses in Planner Perfect and am also interested in trying MakseLife as I believe it is both a goal planner and a weekly planner. It's good to see that you use more than one planner and keep it all together. Those pens at the end are beautiful!

Thank you for this video! I'm on the hunt for a new daily gratitude tracker. Thank you for the ideas!!

Thank you so much for sharing! Such a good idea for a "positive pants" planner! I definitely think that's something I'm going to try asap! Thanks for all you do for the planner community!

Love your Positive Pants Planner, its a great idea. Thank you for sharing.

Love your mid year update and I love the idea of a positive pants planner! I think that is such a great idea! And I am quite partial to EC as well!

Love this absolutely love this!

Monday starts are hard for my brain on a monthly, too.

Loved this video but then I always love your longer, chatty updates. I already said on IG but I am currently in a diy bullet journal after my plum paper ended in April. I have a Daily Duo for '23/'24 that I start this weekend. I am having doubts about staying in a daily after that, though, so I am doing mockups of the different Laurel Denise weeklys and the project planner over the next year to check out if that would work for me. I guess we shall see!

I'm still in my same planners I started the year in. They are Simplified Weekly and Planner Perfect. I also have a Mary Englebritt page a day and a Cat page a day. Plan to use the same things next year although I can't decide which Simplified cover to buy in September.

Another great video Amanda! You do a great job showing and describing all the features!

Those Ashley Shellys are gorgeous. Please ask her to have a small batch of Monday start with your contributing cover. I haven't purchased them bc redating it would cost a few times the cost of the planner.

So LATE to the party! As always, I love these videos, sort of a getting to know a person ;), (Some day when I have time or maybe sooner since I MISS your vids, I'll do Patreon - though I might not make those ZOOM calls) My work exploded in May and then we moved my girl so she could get settled before starting back to school and I haven't been able to watch any of your stuff since then - so I picked the one I want to see the most before I start working this morning, lol. I'm still in my Hobonichi for memory planning and STICKERS!, EC same style as you for work, and an A5 slim style Jibun Techo for on-the-go everything catchall and then transfer to whatever planner the pertinent info goes to. I purchased a July - Dec Common B6 Planner - HA! Haven't even cracked the pages yet, but I do have some time coming up at the end of the month where I'll be breathing a little easier. I really like the EC too and for the same reason as you - we could be twins or something because I also don't like to post my pens either, which is why I usually prefer retractable ones. I received some retractable fountain pens from Santa for Christmas, and I LOVE them. My only nitpick about the EC is the COIL - it's too big and unbending. I love the Mohawk paper though it doesn't care for fountain pen ink, but I have other paper for those. EC only uses that Mohawk paper in those coil life planners - not in the petite or ring planners. :( As ALWAYS Amanda, THANK YOU for all you do! ☺☺☺

I have purchased countless, COUNTLESS, EC photo square covers. Why am I TODAY YEARS OLD, and am just finding out you can add pictures to the back cover too? They are my absolute favorite covers, and yet I've only ever added the pictures to the front. lol. When my family takes Disney vacations, we get another photo cover to place the pictures from that trip on. It's so fun to look back and see how much my kids have grown on each cover. Thanks for the great tip Amanda. Next one I'll make sure to add pictures to the back as well.

This was fantastic!! Love seeing and hearing such chatty videos!!

I so agree about the yearly EC sticker book. I did not buy this year’s because there are not enough decorative stickers. I ‘m using leftover sticker books from previous years..

Always love to see your planning favorites and updates! Im definitely going to get hancanplan stickers. I agree her stickers are prettier than the seasonal EC sticker book! Like you I get one every year but I think I will skip this year! This is by far my favorite EC color scheme. 💖 Have a great week Amanda!

I really like the Laurel Denise planner; BUT no matter what planners I try, I end up back in an Erin Condren. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Really enjoyed the video! Eric Condren does make a pretty planner. Love the stickers from Hana. I'm gonna check them out.

Thanks for the updates! I used your code for Hancanplan’s yearly deco and functional! Beautiful stickers and great discount! I’m also cutting back on all the different planners I was using and July 1 it’s just A5 Daily Duo and the 18 month EC plan book with notes pages. Thinking that one just as my medical tracker.

Thank you Amanda! I have been using a Becki Higgins notebook most days to write a list on one side and a schedule on the other. It seems to be the best for me. If I have a busy week, I will pull out my academic sprouted planner to write out the whole week. I'm excited to see what Laurel Denise has for 2024, and your mention of her planners makes the excitement build...fingers crossed it is coming soon. Although if it doesn't seem to look like a good fit I may try one of the two you mentioned that you get from Amazon, the colorful artsy one.

I can’t wait for your clab. I missed it last year.

So helpful! I’ve really been considering switching over to Laurel Denise. But it seems like even though it’s such a large book, one needs to have tiny handwriting to fit it all in one place. You seem to have larger handwriting as well, have you found that as well? Thanks!

I have laurel denise - I’m torn - I like the back pages for capturing reference information but I find the weekly layout and month layout too cramped and end up with a hot mess of sticky notes .

Love your videos so much! Tons of great info! I’m confused though about where to get Becky Higgins (sp?) notebooks? (Sorry if I got name wrong)

New Subbie ❤❤❤

Amanda, I am trying to find the HanCanPlan kits you featured. Do you know the exact name or size or how to find them?

EC has an updated acrylic easel

EC are sticker pads now, no longer a book to me.
