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

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!

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.

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.

When I don't like the front of my planner dividers, I cover them with paper from Hobby Lobby. There are so many options and the planner turns out really cute. Love all your ideas!!!

I would listen to your channel even if I didn't plan.❤️

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 would LOVE If HP restored the paper quality back to 2020…..so that stickers could be REPOSITIONABLE as they used to be.
GREAT ideas on this upload - thank you!!!!

The divider memory keeping is Brilliant

[meredithriley]

With inflation I went through all my old planners and have a planner for every year through 2026

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.

Love your tip of framing your old dividers!! If I ever get any extras I will definitely be doing this 😊

[jillhudson]

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 your Happy Planner frame, it’s really creative.

I glued two dividers together so it's cute in both sides and use them to divide my filler paper

[but_stthecoffees]
