I can’t use that many planners! It’s too much for my brain! You do have great ideas but whew! I’m overwhelmed!
I tend to combine them all into one to simplify!
Just use what you need
Pets, I track shots, grooming, medications, vet visits, food order and supplies and of course photos! Great ideas, thank you so much!
Fabulous idea! I completely forgot about that! Plus, the happy planner has two CUTE new animal books!
Yes even the seresto collar etc. I do this at the beginning of the year.
There are some great ideas here. I'm assisting a family member who struggles with mental health issues and am encouraging him to track his gratitude and the best thing that happened each day. I'm going to use some of these ideas to put together a daily page for him to fill out. (otherwise his focusses repeatedly on his negative thoughts )
I do most of my shopping online, so tracking what's been ordered from where, and when it arrives so I know what I'm still waiting on helps me.
Good tip! That is a fabulous thing to keep track of.
I keep a planner just to track my word counts as I write my books. It’s fun and rewarding, and I’ve recently started a bullet journal that I’ve been decorating with stickers and other collage items. Great video with lots of cool ideas!
So cool!!
I love this video! Thank you for so many ideas and helping me to think of things to remember. Unfortunately, I have had a lot of trauma in my life resulting in numerous head injuries and oxygen being cut off to my brain. Because of this I have been extremely struggling with memory; and brain fog caused by chronic illness. God has used you to talk to me this week. This has given me hope in finding ways to get through my life day to day and remembering things I need to.
A therapist told me to just do 3 things a day. If you pick one thing, that would be a good thing with consistency. Use an alarm setting for the same time each day for planning and journal. Maybe journaling 1/2 your day maybe a start. Anyway God Bless you.
Something about writing out plans and memories on paper has always brought me great comfort and also helped to focus me. Paper planners can be used for so many purposes, some functional and some cathartic! I hope you find a process that works for you!
I love how you said that we could track activities of our grandchildren, too. I'm a grandma who happens to love planning and appreciate you including us grandparents. 🤗
Of course! Grandparents have plenty to track as well 💕💕
Thank u Elisa. U brought up ideas I never thought about 4 keeping in a journal/planner. Have a great day.
Glad it was helpful!
So many ways to track life. Great info Elisa. Blessings
It's true! That is what I love about planning, it can always be personalized to your tastes!
SSSOOooooooo many great ideas !!! I actually track alot of these things already due to health reasons, but so many new and great ideas,,,,,keep'em coming !! I have a car tracker. I track mileage per tank, miles to certain places, when I fill my car up with gas and how much it took and what I spent. When car registration and inspections are due. Maintenance and tire changes.
Good idea! That would be especially helpful if you can deduct car expenses from your taxes.
Love how clear you explain everything. This is the most complete video I have found in this category. God bless!
Yay, glad it was helpful for you!
everything she does is so clear and concise! This lady is the best
I have so many planners. Great ideas!
Thanks! And, I am right there with you...so many planners!
This was an awesome, helpful video! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Love your videos.
Thanks so much Kathy! Glad the video was helpful!
Wow - this is quite a list! Thank you for all of the great ideas
You are so welcome!
Great ideas. I'm still learning and figuring out what I am documenting. I had never gotten into planning until my SIL gave me a Mickey Mouse Planner and sticker book last year for Christmas. Next year I will have 3..my daily journal, one for planning our Disney trip, and one for counting down to Halloween.
Love it! And I love that you have found things that you are passionate about to use your planners for. It makes it that much more fun!
So many good ideas. I have toooo many planners and I can’t wait to try some of these out. Thanks! 🤗
Have fun! And, I am not sure there is such thing as too many planners 😂
Thank you for the awesome ideas! You have motivated me once again!
Woohoo! Happy to help!
Thanks so much, Elisa! This was really helpful to go through while figuring out my planner setups for next year- ie. what to track in each different planner or section. I use three frankenplanners as well as two individual planners-for different styles of journaling. I’m keeping things mostly the same but with a couple of size changes and it can definitely get a bit tricky when deciding what goes where. I find it’s always a good idea to get things sorted out first and then make any necessary changes if challenges come up! Thanks again for sharing 💖
I am kind of anxious to figure out my planners for next year, but also pretty nervous about. I feel like I need to just sit down, decide what I want to track, and make some decisions!
I’m just getting back into planning, as someone with no long term job (atm) I’m gonna use these as ideas for sure! It’s rly helpful for people like me ^^
Love the cover! Those quotes are amazing!
Thanks so much!
This is one i need to watch at least twice!
There are just so many possibilities for what you can use your planners for!
I may try using my planning to track habits and moods. Thank you for the ideas.
You can do it!
Loved this video Elisa! Great tracking ideas!
Thanks so much Lisa! Glad you enjoyed it....also, did you know that HP has a "Sewing Planner"? I haven't looked at it, but it is supposed to be helpful for planning projects 🤷🏻♀️
@@ScrappyWife They do? Oh my, I’m pretty sure I need that! How Fun!
New subbie from the budgeting community. I love planners and use more than one during the year. This video is perfect for me.
Awesome, welcome! Glad it was a helpful video for you!
I’m new to the planner world Had no idea it is such a big business. Love your ideas In the process of setting up my Maggie Holmes planner. Thanks so much !
Hope you are enjoying the process! It is a super fun community to be a part of!
Thank you for sharing all the ideas!
Of course!!
I just started following you. So many great ideas. I know I won't use all of these but I loved hearing about them. 2022 I'm going to try adding in my financial planning to start saving money more. 💰 Excited to watch more of your videos!! I don't usually subscribe to any other planner channels except Kell of a Plan so great job!!
Love Heather Kell as well! Thanks for subscribing!
Thank you. You gave me so many ideas.
Yay! So happy to help!
Some really good ideas!
Thank you! 😊
Wonderful ideas!! Thank you
You are so welcome!
Im so excited. I ordered a be happy box then just ordered a bunch of items on sale to frankenplan. Im a newbie and this is very exciting
Yay! I hope you enjoy getting your planner set up and using it this year!
I got some great new planner ideas!! Thank you so much!!
I'm so glad!
Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I track several things in my 1 planner, keeps it fun!
Yup! It is fun to use your planner in a ton of creative ways!
11 of them caught my attention, thanks.
Nice! Hope it helps!
⚾️ second time through I took notes. Now to decide what to track in new planners...thank you
Have fun with it!
Love this video very helpful thank you so much🥰
Yay, so glad that it was helpful!
omg! im new to your channel and growing obsessed with Happy planner. Im watching ur videos from the very beginnner cause i love planners but am not good at the creatvity aspect of it and it can get overwhelming!! I love love your Hogwarts planner lol!!
Thanks so much! Welcome to the world of decorative/creative planning :)
This is such a great video! I started talking a little bit about what I track, towards the end of my latest video.
I love keeping track of when I have exercised. I don't keep track of steps or water, but rather what workout I did, the time spent on it, and if I ran, the distance I ran. But sometimes it's easier just to tick off a yes/no box for exercise that day, which I do with Habit bull on my phone.
My husband likes to know when his games are coming out, so that he knows which one to buy & complete first. I tried tracking movies, it was fun, but I think having a plan for books can sometimes help when you don't have the time to search for what to read.
Cool, excellent ideas for how to track some different categories!
@@ScrappyWife Thanks! 😁🙏
That was very helpful!
Awesome, so glad it was helpful!
So many cool things we could track in there, Elisa..
For sure! That is what is so great about planning...there is something for everyone!
Great video, can’t wait to try some of these great ideas. Love the Harry Potter cover.
Thanks! It’s my favorite cover for October!
Hi love! This video was packed with so many helpful tips! I just bought some new pages for my planner as I finish up my holistic nutrition program, and while I'm waiting for them to arrive, I'm watching lots of planning videos for inspo.
I just wanted to mention something I noticed in your health planner. I noticed that you track your water intake (which is awesome!) and on one day you had coffee x3. (Just wanna say off the bat I'm not judging cuz I have like 3 coffees a day too.) A lot of people (not saying you, just people in general) aren't aware that coffee is such a strong diuretic that you require 2 cups of water per cup of coffee to counteract that effect. Also to calculate how much water you need per day, divide your weight by 2, then divide by 8 and that'll tell you exactly how many cups of water you and your body type needs. Then add 2 cups for every cup of coffee (or other caffeinated beverage).
💜💜💜💜
Good to know! Thanks!
This was a great idea filled video… I used to track many of the items you mentioned … I am one of those who are currently searching for balance between form and function. Question… so… how many planners are you actually using on a regular basis? I absolutely loved the daily layout idea which takes me back to my Day-Timer days … I used them for many years but when my life changed it no longer fit or so I thought. Thanks to one of your videos a couple of weeks or so ago, I actually pulled out my current classic planner and caught up some entries and made my first attempt in months to use it again… it’s a work in progress! 🙂. Thanks for sharing your ideas and have a great weekend! 🙂
I probably use 6-7 planners on a daily basis, but prefer to do what is called a "frankenplanner" system, which means I take parts of planners out and put them in one planner. That way it is easier to access the different layouts I use and not have to carry around all those planners!
Those were great ideas..I had pen and paper ready
Awesome! I am so glad that it was helpful!
Ma’am thank you for teaching me how to use planner. It surely helps me a lot. Thanks again
Glad it was helpful!
Your seriously amazing, the best of the best! When you shared some personal situations in your Wellness video, I cried my eyes out-clicked on your link and set up therapy! I am a christian, lately, I have been tested to my limit, even my love odf crafting took a back seat....Until you shared that help is available. You have given me a new outlook on life. Thank You! Every morning i look forward to your activity on your channel.
Love From Sara, In MN
THanks so much for your kind words, Sara! I am so glad the videos are bringing you a little bit of joy!
@ScrappyWife Your Welcome!
I love your videos. I'm thinking about joining your university to learn about how to create a CZcams channel and become successful like you ! I think I was born with a love of crafting!
This was a great video!
Thank you!
Really good ideas. Thank you so much for sharing!! The only other category I could think of is Memory planning. I expect to start journaling my adventures with Eric in the new year. For me, in my catch-all, I include a Blessings (aka bucket) list. I also have a Blessed list where those blessings are realized in that year. Who knows, I made it to Israel and Petra 42 years after it went on the list, so maybe one day I will see the northern lights from my bed in a glass-domed igloo. ;-) In my faith planner, I include worship songs I'm singing, and at the end of the week, the one I seemed to focus on the most noting how it ministered to me. That's the cool thing about planning to me...it's what you want it to be for motivating you to keep moving forward with life.
Love all those ideas! My parents had totally booked a trip to see the Northern Lights, but that just fell through recently. It is on my bucket list too!
@@ScrappyWife You and I have a lot in common and I'm so blessed to know you through your creativity and as a Sister in Christ. Hugs!!
Yes, figuring out who you are and what you like and want starts the first steps to figure out what to creatively plan and track and journal.
love the watch band!!! I will stick to my Franklin Planner , all these books would make me nuts!! LOL!!!!
Haha, I totally get that!
How great! Thanks a lot for sharing so great ideas 💕, literally thumbs up to the video and subscribing right away! Huge greetings from Panama 😊
Aw, thank you so much! Welcome!
Thanks ! I’m working on setting up my 2022 planners I have a goal to get more organized in 2022
That is always a wonderful goal! One key I have found is to set aside a specific time to work on my planners each week. It helps me stay on top of them!
@@ScrappyWife Great 👍 tip
Love your Harry Potter cover
Thanks! It was an Etsy find!
This is an awesome set up you have….
Thanks so much!
Wow, so many planners. 🤩 I just put everything in my iPhone…. not that beautiful s as your planners, but I always have it with me. 👍🏼
I wish HP would make an app. I'd pay for some of the digital stickers! They're missing a huge opportunity here. I've mentioned it to no avail....
Also you can so a Frankenplanner! It's a great concept if you like all the different planners (faith, fit, meal plan, etc.). You don't use the entire year but you do all of them on one set of rings.
It seems like extra work to make a documented planner. Creativity helps me to stick with things. It can be useful for your activities and you can see what is going on over-time sequences. I document all appointments in my planner then on my phone for my husband and me. I will use apps for my B/P recordings, then I show my Dr the readings. My planner will document I track my B/P in my app.
The whole point is to find something that works for you, so I am glad you have a good system on your phone! Something about writing things out really helps it sync in for me, so I like the paper planners.
Very good ideas. I'm not a super busy person yet lol! I wrote everything down... now to figure out what I want for daily weekly and monthly. It will help a lot on where to put a box and also I could decorate a plain sheet to pop in for certain things like a Spiritual journal page or something like that. Making my own pages could help in tracking certain things too. My biggest thing is I watch ppl plan then I want to get all the stickers they have and practice a similar layout of what they did for that week etc. But I will need a good $1000 probably... Not today lol so I have to figure out what to do with what I have. I started to take certain categories out of sticker books to maybe help me to find what I want better. 😁Ooopsies I wrote you a book 🤣
You definitely don't need all the things to get started. Picking a couple of sticker books that really speak to you is the best way to start!
I have maybe 50 sticker books, not many boxes and my washi is not that great lol. I have a 12 mo happy planner that I've done a few things but not all the time. I was thinking of back planning on figure out categories then do the new 18 mo for some different categories. I like junk journals but I'm not completely sure how to do those or why ppl do them but I love the antique style. Maybe it's more for creative crafting... Lol not sure 😁
Also i don't know why I'm stuck on not just going for it and get the new books when I can. So weird 🤣🤣🤣
I need to keep track of all the many details pertaining to my hip replacement surgery .. i need an entire different planner for that!
That makes sense!
Test results is another good thing to track
Good idea!
I love these suggestions, but I just cant with all the different planners - i need some huge expander discs lol
Haha, to each their own!
These are great ideas! You had mentioned a greeting card planner, but I can't find it on the website. Do you have a link for it?
Here ya go - bit.ly/3qAvVeh
@@ScrappyWife Great! thanks!!!
Thank you the ideas. I track my health(water, exercises, sleep, steps, plus caring for my grandogger, self-care for me...). You mentioned you have a video of how you laid out your projects planner. I am interested in that one, but didn't see it listed below. What is it called so I can look for it please
Oh, wait! I found it! I searched throughout your Mix of tutorials & found it! So nevermind, & Thank you!
Glad you found it!
Something that no one else I bet in your community would ever track and never will is that I track feeding and molting of my arachnids. I have some picky eaters and their exoskeleton needs to be hard before they eat as well.
Nice! Yes, that is very specific, but I bet is super helpful to track
Is that tan or cream cover an HP cover?
The gray one on my dashboard planner? That one is an HP soft cover. I think all the covers in this video are from HP, except for the one on my main catch-all planner.
Do you keep all the planners separate or do you frankenplan?
I generally Frankenplan....
🤯
Haha, yup, there is a lot that you can do with these planners!
What cute things can I add to the credit card spots in my planner? What are other creative uses for the spots and slots in the planner?
You can add some fun clips, maybe a washi card, or an affirmation card of some sort.
is there a list?
Not a downloadable one, just the ideas discussed throughout the video.
water intake should have 8 boxes to check off for a total of 64 oz.
Depends on how much you intend each box to represent 😉
I have no idea how people use more than one planner. I am having difficulty trying to keep up with one planner. Help!
I like to use a frankenplanner system where they are all in one. Helps me to keep on top of them!
How many planners are you using at one time?
Usually 6-7 layouts. But, I generally combine them into one planner book to make it easier to manage!
Too much movement and talking with your hands..too distracting.
Hehe, since it is only my hands in the frame, it's hard not to talk with them!
Sounds like you'll spend all your time planning with no time for actually living. Finding that I'm not a fan of youtube planning videos, they're full of people that have a lot of time on their hands to play with their planners all day.
😂😂😂Sounds like my channel is not for you then. Thanks for watching, commenting, and helping my stats though 👍🏻 Have a great rest of your weekend!
It takes maybe a couple hours one day a week to do this... You just felt like coming onto a video that you weren't interested in to say something negative. I'm only commenting to up her views and ratings. Hope life is treating you better.
