"a messy planner is better than a blank one." - Oh I needed to hear that. Love the video!

[danidah]

Yes! For fear of messing it up or bad handwriting I don’t write in it and keep everything in my head. Adds stress and disappointing that I’m wasting the planner!

[kh-c]

I have dropped planning channels because their “plan with me” was actually “decorate with me” and no actual planning happened. I love that you always keep it so practical!

[doyletronic]

actually what I needed to hear, why are other people's videos like 40 minutes long? if I had 40 minutes I would not need a planner.

"A messy planner is better than a blank one!" Love that!

[lavenderlovelifeuk]

I would love a video about how you use that wall calendar with sticky notes behind you.

This is the first time I see a "how to use your planner" video that is actually helpful! I am binge watching all your videos. Thank you!

[michellestewart]

“Do the hard tasks first” that is a great tip I need to remember.

Hello, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know you have changed my life in a good way! Im a retired 62 year old lady with some memory problems. Your suggestions for planner tabs and how to use your planner has really helped me so very much. Im not forgetting things anymore thanks to my new routines! Also your budget advice has helped me learn how to do all my budgeting ( which I had to learn how to do since my husband passed away) so thank you so very much, your videos are so helpful and informative. Some stuff on senior budgeting on a set income would be good too. But you have really helped me so much and for that I thank you.

i'm so glad i finally found a Black youtuber who talks about planning

[pamelam]

This is such a helpful video. So many "influencers" are more concerned with aesthetics than practicality on youtube and it's frustrating when you just want to use your planner to be productive and not to be a sticker book. Thank you for these tips, I love the idea of using your side bar to plan the next week or month. That's definitely a tip I am going to use since I always end up not really using my side bars.

I have been experimenting A LOT with organization in the past years: I've finally found the perfect strategy for me and here's what I've came to
1) I have a school agenda where I keep track of all of my school things; this one contains monthly calendars which are extended to every part of my life
2) I keep daily lists prepared the day before and comprehensive of everything I'm going to do down to the detail in a notebook. I'm currently going through random notebooks I've never used so i don't waste anything. This one pretty much serves as a bullet journal since I keep lists of all sorts in it such as projects and things that need to be put in a schedule & stuff
3) to unleash my artsy side I use an actual bullet journal not for planning but as a journal: I write my thoughts, feelings and memories in it almost daily and I decorate the pages with stickers, drawings and nice, curated titles :)

You’re eyes are so mesmerizing! I had to keen rewinding so I can focus on your words 😂 Great tips! I’m one of those women that sticks my planner in my bag and forgets to plan.

"A messy planner is better than a blank one." Love this!! This is definitely my problem

[knottykay]

"I don't give a sip" - best mug ever!!!

[leahimhoff]

This was very helpful. My toxic trait is getting anew cute planner, trying to make it lovely and colorful, then messing it up a few weeks in then buying a new one and start over. 😂

[neyerlinrodriguez]

Great tips!!! Thank you! I used to write so many repetitive task on my planner daily and it used to be so overwhelming. Now I just write a daily to do list on the side bar and jot down 2-3 tasks the most that are priority for the day. I feel more productive throughout the week that way.

Love her! “A messy planner is better than no planner at all”. Thanks I needed that 🍬
