    Hi Heather! I am really enjoying your videos. Youre giving me a wealth of information. I just ordered my first planner. The 18 month Midnight Botanical classic. I got it on sale at The Happy Planner website. I got the sticker book to go with it. I cant wait until it arrives, so looking forward to start decorating it. TY so much for your channel you explain everything easily. ❤❤

    Great top three tools! I would add a clear 12” x 1” ruler that quilters use (Omnigrid item 1c) and back it with clear Omnigrip so it doesn’t slip. Great for trimming stickers and washi tape!

Your planner is your planner, it is not suppose to win a competition or look like anyone else's. Make it look like what you want it to look like. Have fun, Girl!!

    I love the reminders in this video, Heather! You are so wonderful. I'm also super curious as to where all of the white bins on your shelves are from. I love them, and I'm looking to update my sticker storage system this year, because my collection keeps growing. And growing. And then growing again.

    Thank you Heather, I am starting my first planner in July. Your tips and videos have been a great help and I am ready to go. ... I couldn't find a video of what the Happy planner has to offer (ie accessories) I had had to watch quite a bit of videos to figure out exactly what is available to new starters and I am hoping I finally have an idea of everything they offer) - if you looking at killing some time making a video, I would be interested in something like that. A list so to speak of what you get with a planner brand. be that Happy planner, EC or Plum paper planner. I'm not sue if there are any other planner brand these are the ones I could pick up through my searches.

    Hi heather. I got my first MAMBI Planner in the mail only a day ago. I watched a lot of your videos before I decided on one, I am so happy I did. I love that you say just to go for it. A lot of other planner people say to work with pencil first, but I think that would stress me out so much!

    • @GigglingKat
      @GigglingKat Před 5 lety +1

      Not a planner babe but yes, metal discs move better. I personally think the plastic tul planner discs (Office Depot brand) move a little better than the happy planner plastic but metal are best of all.
      How to flip a disc bound page is another factor- you’ll quickly get into the habit of sliding down from one corner to the other with your full fingers, not just a knuckle.

    • @beckyg2604
      @beckyg2604 Před 5 lety

      The dashboard layout works best for me as a no frills, straight function planner, so it's great in mini for on-the-go scheduling. I started out the year with the Super Mom mini, and since it's working so well for me I'm sticking with it. So that's one vote for mini, but no help on which mini planners come in dashboard. :P

    • @hwwhhwhehwjw7703
      @hwwhhwhehwjw7703 Před 5 lety

      You can get a new one that starts in January

    • @zinapalmer7875
      @zinapalmer7875 Před 5 lety +1

      For example: the 18month planners that start July 01, 2019 end December 31, 2020 (usually the classic size). They come in 12 month also that run from January to December. If you follow The Happy Planner you tube channel , they usually do a flip thru for all of the planners in a release as well as many other you tube channels. Heather does great explaining this if you check her other videos. There are options for everyone. Best of luck with your search.

    Maybe you should do a video about why to bother. Planning is expensive and serves as barely useful art that you put into a drawer and never look at again.
    Also, I'm curious about the key. What's up with that?
