My sister introduced me to Happy Planners. She listened to and knew my lifestyle/needs, was familiar with the layouts, and suggested the monthly layout/to-do lists (Botanicals). I've stuck with it all year (tried others but went back). Next year I'm going with a dashboard layout because it seems like a natural progression, just breaking my monthly listing into weekly listing. Your review of who would use it was spot on. Anyway, my best advice is if your sister isn't a happy planner, ask someone who is for advice on planners or watch videos like this first. Otherwise they're just beautiful covers.

I am new to Happy Planner but I used to use Franklin Covey back in the day. I really prefer the look of the horizontal layout but I HAD to have the Glam Girl planner, which is vertical, so I will be using that for 2020. Who knows - maybe I will end up loving vertical, we’ll see! I also have the Live Life Colorfully notebook which I use for journaling. I 💗 filling it with stickers and things I’m thankful for. I can’t get enough! This statement sounds far-fetched, but Happy Planner is changing my life! And I am not exaggerating. I am an unorganized person by nature and HP has helped me find an enjoyable way to make the most of my time, as well as releasing my creative side. Thank you Heather for sharing your fantastic ideas!

I love the dashboard layout because of the checklists and how it still leaves some space to decorate. I don't have a ton of appointments/kids schedule stuff, so it works for me

[JMarieTaylor]

OMG! You saved my brain! I used to plan with the HP vertical layout but NOW since I'm making a come back I will be going with the HP Dashboard style. It really incorporates everything I saw in the Simplified Planner but I can still decorate it. You can't really do that in the SP because of the spiral bind. I've watched so many videos but yours by far is the best! I cant wait to buy mine.

I have tried many brands of planners too including Erin Condren life planner and the petite planners and binder from EC too. Happy planner, Lily Pulitzer, kate Spade, Vera Bradley, Passion Planner, Simplified Planner, rifle paper planner, Live rich planner from TBM and her budget one too. I prefer the daily or horizontal layout best. I like the dashboard lay out, it’s growing on me. Great video love. 😃💗

I started planning with vertical layouts many years ago (EC and Happy Planner - I still have the dividers from my first HP, those botanicals were gorgeous!). After a while I realised that decorating a ton wasn’t really for me, so I switched to bullet journaling, but then I saw I the dashboard layout mini last year after - and OMG it’s perfect for the way I think and plan! The left side has all my notes and tasks for the week, and the focus spot with the grid fits my weekly habit tracker perfectly. Then the daily/right side I track apppointments etc, and track which day I do the tasks from the left side.
My only issue for next year is deciding if I want classic or mini size!

Thank you for going through all of these. I'll definitely be looking for the monthly planner. I love a good list!

[payshi]

Thank you so much for this video! I almost bought monthly when I think dashboard will suit me better after seeing this!

[uniquelyplanned]

I've been using the vertical layout this year. I bought a vertical and a dashboard layout for next year. I also have a lined vertical 18 month planner that I stick in when I have a ton of stuff to do. I use it as a checklist or schedule. I use the teacher planner for homeschooling. I also have a dashboard layout in my mini for next year and I think I'm going to love that layout for errands.

[pamhall]

This helps tremendously!, I loved this video, and will come back. I am new to all of this. Thank you so much. 👵🏻❤️☕️

I am a teacher, but I teach per hour so I love using an hourly layout combined with a monthly layout. This year I bought the Dream Seeker and I got hourly pages to combine them! I can't wait for 2020

[jacquea.listau]

I have been using a vertical layout planner but for 2020 I am moving into Glam Girl lined vertical and a mom dashboard mini layout.

[jurienafrans]

I like the video is informatief. I will use the monthly layout I buy the blue one of stargazar. I use it for the list. And I will use a horizontal for my cach all planner.

[darcyfriday-barbati]

I bought the monthly layout type and I don't like it. I wanted a vertical layout but I didn't realize there were different types. This is the first HP I bought myself. I LOVE my 'choose to shine' planner but not the layout. After watching your video and you saying this layout is good for list makers (and I SO am), I am going to give it a go-it's just hard to decorate.

[JolenEE]

This was such a fantastic video! Really enjoyed you sharing this. Was able to finally decide what happy planner I want. I was so confused before

MAMBI has added more layouts but I'm an exclusive horizontal layout person and I have struggled to find any with my layout
Why not combine the bullet and horizontal??
This would be amazing!!

[anndoll]

I am really a very functional planner with a little bit of decor. My mini on the go is a dashboard. My at home classic is a dashboard unless I am on vacation and then it goes to a vertical. My work planner is a big teacher planner.

Thank you, you saved me from going out and buying more layouts for experimentation!
