Thank you for not throwing glitter and tape all over your planner!! Didn't think I would find a practical planner video thank you! 😁😭

@aprilfrye5731 8 жыл бұрын

Man, I can't stress enough how much I appreciate your thoroughness. Awesome!

@cmills2894 2 жыл бұрын

I watched this video probably 6-7 years ago, you introduced me to ECLP. I still rewatch it from time to time because your method is so clean and straightforward. Even planning can tend to get complicated and you break it down very well. Your overall presentation is always professional in a casual way.

Well spoken, professional, easy to follow, I love it! You totally inspired me to get an EC planner!

OMG! I'll bet you didn't think that 2 years down the line you'd be helping some poor soul get her life together. LOL!! I've been studying these planning videos, and much as I appreciate many of the artsy kind, I finally found one that just aims to just get the job done. Thank you!

For sure, all the washi tape and stickers remind me more of a scrapbook than a planner. In my opinion, it's also super crowded and not indicative of organization at all.

Finally. Someone that uses a planner as a planner. The others with all the stickers and washi tape was a lot of visual clutter to me and tended to give me a headache. That was something that just wouldn't work for me, but I'm glad that it made others happy because our planners are our own little world. Keep up the nice work.

I just spent the last three hours watching videos comparing EC LP's to other brands, looking for EC LP modifications, etc. Had I found your video first, I wouldn't have wasted any time with the others. This is the BEST video for people who actually need to USE the planner *functionally*. I love the camera and sound quality (some other videos are dizzying). I really WANTED to stick with EC but found it wasn't working for my needs to track clients, billable time, etc. I have no time for washi and cuteness. Your solutions are manageable and practical. Thank you!!!!! Can't wait to go check out what else you do.

Thanks Jennifer, I may try this planner now. I've seen Erin Condren planners before via Organized Like Jen, etc but her system was so complicated! I am an organized person already and I like my planner to be very simple and efficient. I wanted to mention that I keep one of those zip-up poly envelopes in my car with all of my store coupons in it. I keep some small binder clips in it and clip them into quick categories (bed bath and beyond, craft stores, etc)

I have always struggled with a personal planner. I've tried various types and I was never successful. I have resorted to keeping appointments in my phone and that's it. I have a yellow legal pad and sticky notes all over my house. Thank you so much for showing how you organize this planner because it is a way that will actually work for me! I can relate to organizing my life into 3 sections. Thanks again for sharing this!

I have to say I absolutely LOVE this video! I'm a working mom of two and am constantly searching for a way to stay organized (I'm not a smart-phone calendar girl) and this was great. I tried to do the "decorative planning" thing and it didn't work for me and just left me frustrated. Your system is PERFECT. Would you want to do another, updated planner video? I just keep re-watching this one!

I've watched a TON of ECLP and have invested in 2 and haven't touched them. The newest one is coming out of the tissue paper today and fortunately I had also ordered all of the goodies. I need the same columns you do and wanted to cover up the breaks in the days and you just solved that issue for me and so many more. This is the best video on making the planner work that I've seen and thank you so very much! I was able to get the Stay Focused stamp set at Waffle Flower so nobody has to wait for SSS to get it back in stock.

From decorating to ways to use them and I must say, this video is one of the best and most helpful ones I have seen! Thanks so much for sharing your tips and supplies you use. I love the erasable pens you showed. I also enjoyed your idea of splitting the sections of the week and dedicating them to different parts of your life as opposed to the morning, day and night format. Thanks again!

I have watched a lot of planner videos (I just purchased the Happy Planner) and your video is great!!!!! It's practical, simple and you give great tips on a real "how-to" use your planner without all of the decorating and fluff. I like color for color coding purposes, but I also like the practicality on how to use it. I never thought coloring my own Avery labels!!!!! Just purchased a set and although I can't afford another set of markers (I'm more into highlighting), I just purchased a softer color set of Crayola markers. It's not scrapbook material, but I'm trying to make it work for now.
