Where are my horizontal planners at? 🙋🏽♀️ Let me know in the comments what you think about this video and how YOU use your horizontal planner! 🥳
I just bought a big horizontal HP for my job, thanks for the tips
I have switch between both (vertical & horizontal) . For 2023, I'm going for half horizontal (1 page for the week and the other as a column for to do and one for note).
I hope to see one day a video about half horizontal
I preferred horizontal over vertical because vertical just never seemed enough space to write in each small box. I just recently switched to hourly. I am not a very busy person so I never saw the need for hourly, but I use it to make to-do lists when I don’t have a time blocked out. It is working perfectly.
Horizontal planning for my homework to-do’s! I love the lines! I pretty much only write my homework in the weekly spreads and put my important dates in the monthly and dashboard spreads! ❤️❤️
I started to using the EC horizontal planner for "All About Me. It's kind of like a scrapbooking but focuses on more of the journal part. The dates don't matter and usually white them out. I place each topic I want to write about in a box on the fully monthly spread along with a number. This number represents where you can find that particular topic.
Love your content. Thanks 😊
Katie Steiner is my favorite horizontal planner user.
My life has changed soo much within the last year and a half. I used to use a horizontal planner but since before the pandemic, I found that a daily planner works better for me. I use the day designer day planner and this is the first time in YEARS that I actually used one planner for the entire year. Since I am a college student at 2 schools, work full time, training a puppy, and my personal obligations, I'm able to focus on today's work without feeling stressed out when looking at everything in a weekly spread.
I ❤ my EC Horizontal LifePlanner!!! I’m #Teamhorizontal I love the horizontal layout because I can add stickers(especially the EC customizable stickers) to my spread and add/delete any events, tasks, or to do’s as they come. I’m a functional AND a decorative planner and the horizontal layout let’s me be both productive and funky/fun at the same time. The funny thing is most of my previous planners before the ECLP were vertical, but with no stickers at all!! Horizontal works for me for functionality, creativity(well all layouts do that 😅), productivity, and planning my days and weeks far in advance to make my life easier!!!
So happy to hear someone else that loves the horizontal planner! It's a game changer!
@@PlanWithLaur It truly is. I’m so #TeamHorizontal !!!
I'm loving this series! I'm a vertical girl through and through for planning but using the horizontal layouts for journaling is something I played around with this year, too and you're right, it's a perfect amount of space to jot down the day. glad I'm not alone!
The horizontal layout is my all time personal favorite!
It's different, but I love it!
I’ve felt stuck with my horizontal and this was sooooo helpful!! Thank you!!
You're so welcome!
Horizontal planner is what I use as a Gratitude/ Prayer journal as well.
Monthly layout to list my bills, & replenishes of my business supplies.
Weekly horizontal is where I journal, pray, & give thanks.
I use a classic happy planner horizontal layout. I love it. ❤
Going to start using once my EC planner arrives for Bible study😊
That is such a wonderful idea! You'll have to let me know how it works 🥳
For me I write pretty big and it helps me….also I can’t write straight so the lines help keep it neat. Finally, I started planning on a mead academic so horizontal just goes with my brain! I use the ECLP as my household financial planner and the EC Academic for work.
I love the Ashley Shelley Signature planner because the horizontal layout has : for you to write in the times of your appointments and a some check boxes. So i only have what i need!
I'am a Ashley Shelly Signature Planner user too! =)
I just got a horizontal for the first time this year (EC flora) and it's a match made in heaven! I use checkbox stickers for 2 sections of work to-do's, the unlined area is for personal/fun and I decorate with washi and stickers! I love your journaling idea. I might do that on the weekend as I don't have work to-do's those days! Journaling freaks me out too so that'll be a good start!
Truthfully I have not been consistent with journaling until using a horizontal planner and then it just clicked. I also LOVE the idea of combining plans and journaling together. 💜
@@PlanWithLaur in my role doing developer support case notes are a part of planning, which journal what’s been analyzed, thoughts, etc. as well as the tools being used to record next planned steps. This is electronic, of course.
I use my horizontal EC planner to write daily gratitudes and I use the shaded portion to the right to write daily affirmations.
Oh what a wonderful ideas! ☺️
Came back to find this video! Switching to the Makse horizontal and I’m super excited (but also crazy nervous). This video was wildly helpful. Thank you Lauren!
I’m using the EC a5 flora horizontal for a daily wellness check in.
Oh that is so awesome - fingers crossed for a flora softbound! 🤞🤞🤞
I use a Simplified weekly, but I've used a horizontal planner for probably 10 years because I love that they typically have lines that keep my planner looking neat. I will often break the sections into two columns - one for events/timed things and the other for to dos (exactly how the Simplified is laid out).
Thanks for sharing! I think it is great that you were able to modify the horizontal planner to modify it to fit your needs 😀
I love the horizontal layout! Vertical layout hates me! I think the vertical layout is just too chaotic for me visually. Even though it looks so pretty when I see how people decorates the no white space in their planner; my brain gets scrambled with the vertical planning because its just too much. I love dashboard layout & horizontal layout the best. TFS Be Blessed.
Watching this a year later because I just ordered a new EC horizontal for the next 18 months! I haven't used this layout much so I'm excited to see how others are using it.
I am set for 2021-2022 but I am starting to think I maybe will actually separate out my journal from my planner for next Spring's launch. That smaller horizontal is so cute!
I have EC and Plum horizontal, I do write big, with a vertical, 2 words filled up one box 📦👍,
🤣🤣🤣 I totally understand that!!!
Thank you for posting this video. I’m a vertical planner who switched to EC horizontal this year simply because the coiled A-5 is only offered in this layout. You’ve given great ideas to help me maximize this layout. 😃
Glad it was helpful! 🥰
I'm late to this video, but this was super helpful, as I look to begin using a horizontal planner for 2023.
Glad it was helpful!
Just came across your vid/channel when looking for layout ideas. Subbed!
I have a Plan Ahead See It Bigger horizontal planner that I randomly got a Walmart this spring. I've been inconsistent with planning/journaling over the years. But this year I've made it a deliberate part of each day. I like the horizontal because most of my life is unscheduled. I work from home. I homeschool my kids. I do cover my planner in copious amounts of stickers. I even have some that are hourly stickers which I can put in if I want to time block a specific day. The only thing I don't like about the planner I have is the spiral binding and all the negatives with that. But after tutorials on CZcams I'm about to convert it to disk bound.
Love that you are here - so happy to be apart of your planning journey!!
I know this is an old video but I used my horizontal for recipes. It was the perfect size and in the monthly pages I would meal plan and the recipe would be there in the pages following
Such a great idea!
I use the happy planner horizontal classic for memory planning.
YAY!!!
L O V E your journaling idea! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Plum paper! I prefer it because I use it mainly for to dos.
I am so happy you found something that works well for you as well!
My EC Horizontal planner is for journaling mental health and wellness.
Horizontal planner here! I use the EC A5 softbound because I don't have much to plan.
Love the EC A5 planner! So glad that this works for you 🥰
I was using the horizontal for my first EC planner last year but found myself getting bored a few months in. I saw a Jul-Dec daily duo for sale about a month ago and am excited to give that a try instead. I am really liking your idea of using the planner for journaling so im looking to see if that’s something i could try and incorporate into my new daily duo.
I use the EC Horizontal Planner because I like to write out my plans and the vertical design doesn't let me write things out, since there is not enough room.
Thanks
I've tried all the ones you mention (vertical, horizontal, hourly) over the years but I've always gone back to horizontal. I made my own digital planner, I even made a template for each just in case I end up wanting to use a different layout but no. I've always just found comfort (and efficiency) in planning horizontally. 😊
Using Erin Condren A5 Coiled LifePlanner
I love your channel! Your videos are so good!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
I beg to differ on your statement that you’ll be wanting to spend a lot of time with your planner, whatever it is: perhaps it’s my engineering mindset and tech career, but I assert that the more time and energy (mental or otherwise) required for planning, as well as the tools involved, the less valuable it becomes for the hassle.
I just came across your channel minutes ago, as I’m doing research for creating a digital system, and I’m interested in learning how people are accustomed to setting up/using planners, and why, whatever they are, digital or analog. My professional paid work has all kinds of randomizations that happen, including plans being merely a friendly suggestion/unrequited dream some days because of all the unplanned/unplannable interruptions, and one of the thoughts I have, besides the observation that for some things, journaling isn’t necessary, while other things, it is, is the amount of space you have available for whatever it is you have planned out, can get rather dicey to deal with if your schedule is either too dense to easily write in the space, or you need to journal. I’ve got thoughts for an imperfect system for paper, but if I’m to have something I can use for work, it needs to be electronic records and all personal as well as business stuff needs to be ultimately tracked in one place somehow.
Great ideas!
Thank you! 😊
Used to be an EC horizontal but went back to vertical!
I totally understand - I am a layout switcher 🤣🤣🤣
I am now going to use the horizontal after all. With a kid going to college and not having to keep track of his day to day schedule, I think horizontal best. Also using the academic planner for my middle school job!
Video starts at 2:00 minutes
I am new to planner. I don't know about what the layout should be but I am getting an EC horizontal planner.
I’m playing caught up on your video I’m new too your channel. Want too try EC but not sure what layout too try.
Bought a horizontal two days ago. I have never used this type of planner previously.
How did it go?
I write big, so I think it might be a good fit.
What softbound planner did you use for the journaling? Did you purchase one that has the monthly calendars and just scrapbook over them? I want one for journaling like this but not sure how to reuse the calendar pages since I also purchased a coiled lifeplanner.
I used the Erin Condren softbound horizontal journal! LOVED it!!! I just skipped the monthly calendar pages.
I need suggestions on what planner is the best to take with you?
I think that the a5 and the 7x9 size are the most portable - each brand has a bunch of different options. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
I write really big and that doesn’t work well with a vertical design
I understand that! Sometimes the horizontal are better when that's the case!
What are “I am” statements? Can you give an example?
I talk about I am statements more in this post: instagram.com/p/CMabxbYjZXs/ 💕
Hobonichi weeks for the last ten years!
LOVE IT! ☺️
