Emotional spending is the pits, isn't it? We overspend cause we're feeling down, we overspend cause we're feeling anxious, we overspend cause we're feeling on top of the world, and then we're anxious about that purchase we just made and then the cycle starts again... 🤦‍♀️Thank you so much for appreciating the realism of my reviews. 🥰

Laughter is my go-to when I'm stressed. I've found it works the best. Thank you so much for the kind comment. 😊

I really needed that 30 days to refocus and reflect on why I was spending the way that I was. 😅 Congratulations on getting your CC paid off! It's the best feeling in the world. 🥰

This set-up has been the best weekly planner that I have used. It's a pain to put it all together, but it is worth it in the end... Plus, you save money throughout the year, as you're only printing the pages that you will use.

It's soooo buttery smooth and has very little to no bleed through. 😊

I didn't think I would either, as I prefer disc-bound myself... But once I saw the book version I was in love. It's absolutely gorgeous! 🥰

Hi Mr Burt. My cats Toby and remy also bite my feet

There's just something about that late spring going into summer vibe that makes the adulting struggle so much more real. 😅 I'm also sorry to hear that you get your feet bit too... Planning with a cat(s) is a challenge in itself, but I wouldn't want it any other way. 🥰

When done "correctly", I have funds set aside in a "fun funds" account that I use to cover purchases for items that are "wants". This system helps me make better choices as to if I really want that item, versus just a spur of the moment want. It has saved me from so many purchases that I would have regretted later. There have even been times where I was so close to paying off a debt that I used my fun funds to cover the remaining amount, as that "purchase / debt payment" was worth my happiness. Now, I am by no means perfect and do spend outside of my fun funds and that is where the "guilt" comes in... but I wouldn't actually refer to it as guilt, but maybe a "should have known better" and "how do I learn from this" to prevent it in the future.

The main thing that I look for in a budget planner is SPACE! Like lots and lots of space... cause of those "spending binges" that emotional spenders tend to have. 😅 The other planners that I have tried in the past, which were made for budgeting, did not have enough space for all of my bills, which there are a ton of, and also lacked in space for expenses. This one seems to have endless space for all of my tracking needs, and it really is a gorgeous planner in person.

The pages that I use are the free printable version found on the Hemlock and Oak website. I have large handwriting, so I tend to gravitate towards big sized planners. Unfortunately, they only provide the preprinted inserts in their "classic size".

Thank you for the nice comment. 🥰 It also amazes me how quickly we returned to "oh, you're sick... can you still come into work today?" I think the part of it that really gets me is that I am the one who disinfects the classrooms... so yeah. I'm disinfecting the rooms, while reinfecting them with whatever I have for that day. 🤷‍♀️

You know, that's a really good question. I did not have a PP Daily when I was attending classes... but, thinking back to those days, I think it would have been the perfect sidekick for keeping all of my course assignments and academic notes all in one place (contact info for group projects, thesis ideas, books, supplies, and course payments, etc.). It's small, so it's easy to carry around, but also mighty with that additional page for each day of the week (the space of infinite possibility). Plus, with the two separate tasks lists, it would be easy to break larger assignments up into smaller tasks to avoid the dreaded procrastination. 😉

Thank you so much!! 🥰

Welcome and thank you for watching! 🥰

Thank you for the good vibes! 🥰 It's always frustrating to see those blank pages in our planners. I've learned to take them as a sign that my planning system needs updated. We change, so our planning system will also change. When this happens, I tend to go back to the basics to see what I can do to get the most out of my planner. Even though my new system is "ugly", it has been quite helpful in letting me see some flaws from my previous set-up. I was definitely overscheduling myself and the time-tracking quickly identified that issue, as there was no way possible that I could have done "all the things" in that amount of time. It really helped with the feeling of "failure" or that I had done something wrong. I'm procrastinating less and my productivity is up from a week ago. 😊

To answer your first question, a "washie" is a type of decorative tape that is used by planners. It can be used as pure decoration, or to make separate areas on the page. Your second question, with the assumption that I am not "serious" is quite speculative. I am very serious about my channel and create, film, edit, and upload plan-with-me videos consistently for my audience. If the inference is the result of my gender and my love of all things planner related, then I'm sorry that you feel that way. Planning provides a creative outlet and helps one gain insight into one's behaviors and thoughts, which leads to increased confidence. For your last statement, I completely agree. The planning community does need more men because I believe that a lot of men would benefit from planning: reduced depression and anxiety, and improvement in creative thinking and problem-solving skills. Maybe you could be one of the few and provide others such as yourself the type of plan with me that you are seeking. I am curious, what type of planner are you interested in and what purpose would you like it to serve? There's a wide variety out there: creative, financial, goal setting, daily tracking, fitness, marksmanship, woodworking, the list is endless.

Thank you for the kind comment and I'm glad that my weekly reviews help you with your budgeting. Finances can be messy and very anxiety-provoking, but I just tell myself "You can do this" and keep going.

Of course!! Both are extremely helpful in their own way, but the Debt Payoff Planner app (stebt) is my all-time favorite. It's what keeps me going.

Thank you. 😊

There are eight exercises (3 to 4 sets for each) for each workout. I believe that there are 60 workouts in total?

Thanks for watching, and I am sorry to hear that my humor disturbed you. After using this journal for three months, I will say it was well worth the price, but I will still laugh and use humor when discussing my mini shrine and little rock buddies. It's just who I am. 😊

Thank you so much for the kind comment! I'm glad to hear that you found my videos inspirational. Happy planning and may you have a prosperous New Year. 🥰

I think I downloaded all of them and I couldn't find it.

Oh no! The introspection page I used is in the undated weekly planner PDF; however, I did download mine back in 2022. I'm going to check out the current edition and see if I can locate the page for you.

The current version on the website is definitely an updated version. They condensed some parts of the intro, while expanding on others. The closest part that I can find to the introspection that I completed is on page 8, "You wake up to the best day ever tomorrow: what does it look like? Use the senses: smell, sound, taste, sight, touch." A quick fix for this would be to insert a notes page and complete an introspection and/or vision board. The wording on my page is, "Close your eyes. What does your ideal life look like? Imagine every detail that brings you happiness, pride, and fulfillment. What do you see, smell, hear, touch, and taste?

@@planningwithsally thank you so much for looking into it! I thought I was going crazy. 😂 I hope you have a great NYE! 😊

You're not crazy at all! They really did take that section out in the updated version. Thanks for letting me know. Hoping that your NYE was joyful! 😊

You're going to love it! 😊

@@planningwithsally Awesome! Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much for the kind comment! 🥰 I'm glad to hear that you found my video to be helpful. I love that you also use humor in the "Today I Learned" section... ugly boxed holiday cards. 😂 At least I now know that I'm not the only one that stares at that prompt with a WTH do I put in here mindset. 🤷‍♀️

@@planningwithsally I think it's the wording of the prompts. Some days, instead of "Today I Learned", I'll do a fun fact or something in the news. Instead of "Today in One Word", I'll do a word of the day. And sometimes I stare at the prompts thinking "WTF?" instead of WTH, because that's how I roll. 😃

Yes... Yes... and YES! 😂WTF has been my word of the day several times.

Thank you so much for watching! 🥰 I had no idea that Hemlock and Oak PWMs were that rare. I just kept filming PWMs even though I switched planner companies over the years (Happy Planner, Passion Planner, and now Hemlock and Oak).

@@planningwithsally I too print my planners. I use the Weekly and Daily. One day I'll be able to purchase the actual planners because she is so generous sharing with us all.

You’re so tickled at the line 😂😂😂 this is so great

Thank you so much for the kind comment! 🥰 And, yes, my introvert-self comes out in that list... places to go and people to see? We'll save that for Dr. Suess. Let's focus on crafts and food. 😅

Thank you so much!! 🥰

You are so welcome and I'm glad that you found my video helpful! Thanks for watching and happy planning! 😊

Passion Planner is definitely an upgrade from the other planners that I have used! The roadmap is by far one of the best goal setting pages... It really did help jump start my Etsy shop and KZfaq channel. I wouldn't have had the nerve to try without that planner. Thanks for watching! 😊

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! 😊

Thank you!! 😁

You're welcome! 😊

Hemlock and Oak provides both a daily and weekly printable version of their planners. You can find them under the downloads section. 😊

How exciting! 🥳 Which planner cover did you pick?

Thank you so much! 💓

Sooo, if I would have waited until the end I would know you found the May page. Lol. Sorry.

I can't believe you noticed that! I didn't even catch it while editing the video. 😅 I'm just glad that I rechecked the "guts" stack before filing them away. 🤦‍♀️

That's a very good question! It really depends on the color of the planner that you get. The one I have, which is Midnight, is a vegan leather cover. The only other color that also has a leather cover would be classic black. The other colors available (rosewood, wisteria, sequoia, secret garden, mulberry, and deep forest) appear to have a linen-cloth material cover.

Thank you so much! 😊

I use the HP 2x3 sprocket printer. Here's a link for the model I own. amzn.to/46qCDoD It's a couple of years old now, but still works wonderfully!

Leap day is there. 😊

Thank you so much! That's the nicest comment I've ever received. Thanks for becoming a subscriber. 🥰

I'm so sorry to hear that your planner got damaged during delivery. But I'm so happy to hear that the company made it right and sent you a bonus daily planner. 🙌 This is by far the best company I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Wisteria and Marigold sound dreamy together.

Yay! Thank you!
