    I love this! I have SO many unused classic happy planner pages, and I just recently combined all my extras into one place. One way I've used the empty weekly layouts is gluing sticker pages to them and creating a classic sized sticker book. I love that nothing sticks out like it did in the HP version I bought a few years ago which is in between a Classic and a Mini.

    Wonderful ideas! You are really thinking "outside the box"! I just wish the HP company would stop putting the monthly calendar page on the back of the dividers.

    • @squairdplans
      @squairdplans  Před 3 lety +6

      I agree. I would have loved to reuse some dividers in other areas of my planner.

    I liked the idea where you chose the month with the same start date and number of days in the month that you need. This way you did not need to change anything except the month. Great ideas!

    Love this. Just got through making an April Fitness month. I used stickers of water tracker bottles, scales for before and after weights, workout logs for exercise did, either gardening, house work, or walking at home using videos from the Internet, and the calorie intake. These numbers will help me keep track of myself, as I have a meal tracker on my phone for the program I am on. What an awesome way to motivate me again during this time. It's in the front of my planner where it is the first thing I see. Also used the front divider board as my motivation board, everything relating to my fitness plan. Thank you so much. Sara

  • @christineeverson840
    @christineeverson840 Před 3 lety +1

    Great video! I’ve decided to use mine by gluing scrapbook paper to the pages on both sides and chronicling my sons Navy career. Kind of a mini scrapbook but homemade and non-conventional. I love the tabs because it limits me to how many pictures and journaling I can do by the town and country as he is in. Currently he is in Korea but will be moving to Japan in about six months. I’m too excited! I’m new to all of this, 58 and behind the eight ball! Blessings!

    • @squairdplans
      @squairdplans  Před 3 lety

I also enjoy how you incorporate following God in your planner…prayer time, Bible time, and scripture writing. Be encouraged as many are hearing and seeing God’s Word on your channel. I pray for this to thrive and for your health to improve. Amen 🙏🙏

    I reused an extra Happy Planner as my music practice log. It is a weekly vertical layout, divided into 3 sessions. I relabeled the dates and I usually have at least two practice sessions a day. final section for quotes or stickers. I also reuse a coiled monthly planner to track my exercise work outs. I don't mind the relabeling because the notebooks themselves, and paper quality are lovely. They become the equivalent of one subject desk planners. I have an extra personal planner cover that I intend to use for one of those 30 days of lists challenges; just haven't implemented yet.

  • @scherylb
    @scherylb Před 2 lety +2

    I know this is an older video but thought I would share my idea --- I only use the actual calendar of a planner and so all those other pages are just wasted for me because I also do a digital planner well not sure about the older planners but the newer planners of Happy Planner some have 6 boxes per day I think they call this the student layout well -- instead of me buying a new calendar every month / year I just use those pages and create my own calendar because there will always be 30 boxes plus the notes area that can be used as a box for 31 days or you can simply just split one box into two to get the 31 day's with me doing this I probably will never need to buy another calendar again.... (there is usually 4 if not 5 weeks per month that will give you 4 or 5 months worth of calendars) ....

      Perhaps can trim them and rebind them using rubber cement or other binding glue (like that used for notepads). Or you can remove specific pages and tape or glue them down into another planner perhaps?! Just some ideas that come to mind.
