    I bought a box of planners (20 planners) from Michael's for $5 so I will be redating for years to come

    My infant son loves turning the pages in my discbound, so I made him his own planner. My bff's mom had a skinny classic she wasn't using. I slip in completed note pages I don't need and cover them in stickers, that way he can pop them out and rip them to his heart's content.

      Both my toddlers have their own planners and they sticker them. We've gotten them on clearance or I give them leftover from my stash. My three year old will spend hours in her planner.

      I bought my daughter her own planner but she still chooses to color and put stickers on my actual planners 😅

  • @GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend

    I save unused pages for whenever the days align, so I don't have to redate! The monthly only has 7 days it can start on... so there are plenty of months in the future where the 19th is a Monday, so that way I only have to cover the month name!

    you could repurpose it into a travel planner/diary. Begin with pages planning the trip, then fill it with things you did, people you saw, and of course, photos, then journal a few lined pages about special moments or feelings on the trip, and finish with a reflection about travel, certain people, if you'd go back, or where to go next. You could include a packing list, sightseeing list, gifts to look for while you're there that you can give later at Christmas, birthdays, or whatever, etc.

    I recently found a brand new HP at the thrift store. It’s a couple of years old, but I just white out or cover the dates each month and use it as a motivational planner.

    Old Happy Planners are great to use in a writing notebook. The grid make it easy to create a story board for the different Acts. Each layout is used differently for creating the characters and the outline of the story.

    I'm a college student who keeps all my old writing assignments, essays, and printed PPT presentation slides in outdated planners. Old planners are also repurposed to: fashion logs, finance, home (maintenance, cleaning,care, property management), cookbooks with recipes to give out, travel books, contact directory/business card holder, Cricut cutting machine samples, sewing pattern organizer, et cetera...

    I love the share a planner idea. If you have different planners you can even set each month up with a different style (ie vertical, dashboard). Then they can test each one for a month and see what they prefer before they jump in and buy.

    You got Acrylograph pens! Lucky you! I want some so bad. You can paint over stickers to recolor them if they don't match your spread. It's like actual paint. They're on my "someday" list.

    I went crazy when Michaels had planners for like $2 & $4 a while ago and now I have enough to last me a good 5-10 years... so I can't buy any more! Instead, I cover the numbers with washi or stickers. I also keep a journaling/commonplace section which I write as I please and just change those dates. If nothing else, it makes great list space!

      @Calypsosag Před rokem

      If it doesn’t have sensitive info it’s good for sticking things eg scrapbook type art projects. Maybe offer them for free on some platform to crafters/ parents/ teachers.

    • @Happy2planwithDesiree
      @Happy2planwithDesiree  Před rokem

      I suggest keeping them because if they used it as a planner then it more likely than not does have info they probably don’t want to accidentally put out there. That’s why I keep mine..forever.

    @Calypsosag Před rokem

    Discbound systems are supposed to be great for sustainability. For most people if you have many unused planners it’s a symptom you are buying more than you need. Acknowledge that hoarding.
    As a test, would you buy a new planner to apply repurposing ideas. If the answer is no, find a platform to offer up the planner to someone that wants to use it for planning.

    • @Happy2planwithDesiree
      @Happy2planwithDesiree  Před rokem +2

      First off I receive a lot of planners from companies for free to promote and share. Because of this I have a lot which I do give to others to use and I also have extras to use for content creating purposes. Secondly, people in the planner community change their minds a lot when it comes to planners. Sometimes a layout doesn’t work and you have to change things up but you don’t want to waste the pages or throw away the pages from your previous planner which is why I was giving ideas on how to reuse them. It’s not about hoarding. And lastly, I have purchased planners to repurpose. I just got a clearance/outdated teacher planner (I’m not a teacher) to repurpose into a social media planner so answer to your test question is yes I would! Thanks for watching my video!🤗

  • @carolhutner9441
