Your girl is not alone. The planning is easy. Even the anticipation and expectations to execute are there. It’s the execution phase and sticking to it all is where I struggle. I lack the discipline to finish what I’ve started because in the moment it’s too easy to just doom scroll and lament later. I’m so very over that stage though…

Congrats on the baby to come! 🎉 And just because it was mentioned a few times, please speak to your doctor about how much caffeine is Ok if you haven't already ☺️ for the sake of the baby

I’m doing the Daily Grace Co study as well.

Thanks destinee!!! It's really helpful for me 😊 I really appreciate your work❤❤ it's very nice thank you destinee 😁 It's in very systematic for me destinee 😀

Hello and Merry Christmas!! I am currently watching your video and I have to say you are cracking me up!! Not because of your troubles with CWM Powersheets but because I am having the exact same discussion in my head! I have big goals for 2025 and what did I do? Of course went to Google searched found CWM, went to KZbin and ordered. Fast forward 3 months and I feel overwhelmed. What the heck?!?! How does one do the tending list and break it down sheet. You are not alone! I think we need to start a bookclub for overwhelmed Tending List goers. Thanks for the video and Good luck to you!

I love your faith plans! I’ve heard the Moody commentary is really great. I love the books and study tools that you chose for next year! Especially the biblical motherhood one and the 52-week study, I’m definitely going t look into them. Also are you on IG?

I love that you made this from 3 planners! And that paternity leave is INCREDIBLE 🎉 my husband had to go back after a week and it was rough. The monthly project sections is a great idea, I need to add that to my planner, thank you!

Hey girlie! Why did I gasp with you when the sticker ripped 😂 I’m catching up on your videos and I love your optimism with your planner options for next year. Having a baby always changes things with our planners so I think it’s great you have organized systems set up for you! 👏🏼💕

Can you please link the etsy shop? Thanks.

I’m using the family organizer as part of my budget/family planner system. I’m also use 22 planners next year. Can’t believe that you went to ec from TRP. Owwww I’ll take some of those kids off your hands. Would love to do a happy mail video from you lol

I'm so glad you were able to spend at least a few more days with your grandma. I was worried you disappeared because of pregnancy complications. I hope you feel better soon, though! I think my favorite setup video of yours so far was when you combined three different Frankenplanners. That was very impressive, and I can't wait to see how that works out for you. I hope you're able to stick with all of your planners! Or if not, I hope it's because you figured out a system that works even better for you, and you're not just dropping them just because. But I know with having a new baby and a toddler and a zoo full of animals to take care of, plus school, your life is going to be suuuuuuper hectic for a few months, so please remember to give yourself grace. Even if you accidentally rip a few churches along the way, it's okay! You've got this!

That looks like a great system. I hope it keeps working for you! I may be an outlier haha because I work in higher ed specifically with online university programs, and I love learning and education, but I would love to keep seeing more of your class setup videos and updates throughout the year. I find that stuff to be really interesting. Also, "I bought one planner but they annoyed me so now suddenly I have four" is a total #mood lol I love it so much 🤣

Good luck with your classes and I hope your project went well. (I wait til the last minute too... 😅)

you are just like me... I dont like wrinkles either and so I had a mini panic attack with you.

A butt ton!!🤣

Love this ❤❤❤

Ahh that sticker kit is SO STINKING CUTE omg! Especially paired with the HP washi! I like your washi a lot better than the gold glitter one. Also yes I am totally the same way with presents lol because I love picking out thoughtful presents for people and then I get so excited and want to give them early so I can show off how great of a gift giver I am! In a totally altruistic way…obviously 🤣 Your baby is going to be here before you know it that's so awesome! I'm sure he'll be absolutely perfect and wonderful. But maybe shove a map up there or something bahaha so he doesn't take 22 hours to find his way out! I would absolutely lose my mind. I'm going on a work trip next week so I already feel like by the time I get back, Christmas will be right around the corner. I cannot wait!

I just started watching this video and in case I have to leave, I want to say how much I appreciate your WOTY and how you wrote it before each of your goals for the year... I hope you don't mind, but I would like to steal this idea from you!! I have used (I bought) PS for the last 3 years, but I've never really used it. I've told myself that I MUST use it this year or I can't buy it again. So, I found your video because I'm looking for inspiration in using PS and honestly, I am looking for motivation to just get started!! So, your video has already spurred me on. Thank you. I'm not really a fan of coming up with a WOTY, but I think I can feel good about using the word CULTIVATE like you. Like I said, I'm only like 9 minutes into your video, but I had to say I appreciate your honesty and your content.

Oh wow that planner is really pretty! I hope it works out for you! I agree that having all of those suggestions for things to do is nice because sometimes I have these random unicorn moments where I actually have time and motivation to get something done but I'm not sure what to do. I would never think to take time to do something like sit down and clean out my purse but that is helpful once in a while. We are going to CRUSH 2025 and it's going to be AWESOME!

I had a panic attack….the yearly sticker…OMG I feel your struggle!!!!!

I felt the wrinkles in my soul But it's fine...it really is.

I would have cut the page out or used undo and put something else over the top of both sides. That was rough but you handled it well.

ughhhhh girl! GIRL! When you put on that yearly overview sticker I was like, oh, it's a little weird at the top but not that bad, then when you turned to the page before and it was all wrinkled my heart sank for you. I'm sorry! But I guess at least now, your planner already isn't perfect, so if you occasionally mess up in other places, it won't be that bad. Those stickers are super cute though! I'm here for whatever kind of journaling or setup videos you want to make. I can't wait for 2025 to see your planner lineup in action!

Hiiee destenie, I love your setup video🎉btw can you make college/school plannar for 2025 ??

I think that looks super cute! Christmas is a state of mind, not a certain date lol. I mean, obviously it is, but the Christmas SEASON is whatever you want it to be! I am all here for Chaotic Destinee I love it bahaha. And I'm so glad your hubby is finally home so you can have some semblance of a normal life and be together for the holidays and the end of your pregnancy! I'm totally not a decorator person either. I do have a mom, but she's as much of a tomboy as I am, so we never really did any feminine stuff like that in my house growing up. But with the gingerbread houses, you don't really need to be creative. They come in kits that do all of the decorative planning for you. So if you want to build one, don't let that stop you! What you really need to make a good gingerbread house is patience because they are surprisingly difficult, especially when you're dealing with the chaos of toddlers and animals. But if you've never done it before, you definitely need to try it! It will probably be a disaster, but if you make it a whole thing with your family, you can all laugh at yourselves and have a good bonding experience anyway.

The drum is the inside part of the washing machine; and it needs re-balanced

I love your tattoo!! 💗🪄

You are soooooo funny! I just started my journal journey and i have a Hobonichi Weeks and a Techo A5. Weeks is my "lifestyle/life/personal' journal and my Techo A5 is strictly for work. I do have a personal journal where i write my thoughts or my day but Hobo Weeks will be to track stuff like what i eat, steps, water intake, mood and sleep tracker. I'm like you, i went on youtube and took inspiration from others and I appreciate that you give a shoutout to those who inspired you. Keep up this awesome job you are doing and props to your kid for being random LOL

Are you a fireplace purist? My parents have an electric fireplace at their house and it looks like a real fire and can even act like a space heater but it's all electric. That might be worth looking into if you don't actually need a real REAL fire. I've spent my whole life in the Midwest(-ish?) so I've always had Christmases that include fuzzy socks and hot cocoa, and I absolutely love it. I love the snow aesthetic for Christmas and I wouldn't feel like it was really Christmas if I was wearing shorts and a tank top haha. But I am totally Team Christmas Starts in November with you!!! I'm already so excited! And I'm excited to move into my new 2025 planner!

Girl. GIRL! That whole "2024 was supposed to be the year of accomplishing goals but instead just became the year of ignoring goals" is a whole MOOD. I had so many awesome plans for 2024 and then depression ended up kicking up my butt for several months and I did none of them. Hopefully both of us will do better next year. I love the idea of making your own perfect planner out of the three planners. I hope that ends up working out for you. And yes hopefully all of your OG fans will keep watching because we love your chaos but you'll also pick up new Erin Condren fans and a fun time will be had by all. I can't wait for 2025 personally. I think it's going to be very interesting.

I thought the video looked fine lighting-wise. And omg your nails look SO CUTE, especially matching your planner theme for the week haha. Also I love that your accent gets stronger when you get really passionate. Also! DUDE! CONGRATS on getting to 1K subscribers THAT IS AWESOME!! I hope you get a chance to celebrate this weekend, even if you're not allowed to enjoy food anymore, which sucks. But hopefully it's just for a few more months. You can do this!

Good morning ❤

Hi sweetie, just found your channel by stalking ya back LOL. Congratulations on your expected lil one.I was just about to comment that it helps to delete the recently deleted folder, it gets me every time as well. Another option is to back up items to the cloud and then factory reset the phone, not ideal but WOW so much room afterwards. Just write down the passwords and usernames or it will be a nightmare LOL.

I too am obsessed with Kristen's channel! I am so happy I found your channel.

girl you are crazy haha. I love it. At what point do you just admit that your so-called "house" is actually a zoo and start selling tickets? 🤣 That is really sweet of you to foster that dog though. It's good karma. I'm sorry your phone was being stupid but I'm glad you at least figured out what the problem was so hopefully it won't happen again. Good luck with starting school back up!

Vision boards I call them a collage due to religious reasons.

Great video! I’ve been using PS for 5 years and it has been such a blessing for me in focusing my time and energy. I also include my word of the year in each of my goal statements!

That's awesome! There is a lot of science that backs up writing your goals down making you more likely to accomplish them because you're making them tangible so they stick out in your brain like a to-do list. I hope this continues to work out for you! I know next year is going to be a big year for you with a new baby and everything (SO EXCITING!) and I have complete faith you will crush it!

ugh I'm sorry you had to be a "responsible adult" and make "smart financial decisions" that's no fun. Hopefully you'll be able to get some cool stuff during a later sale. But omg even just listening to you talk about being the sole adult responsible for that many dogs and cats and toddlers and unborn babies wore me out! I'm so sorry you have to do that! Please make sure you're making at least some time for indulgent self-care, even in small ways. You can do this!

Ooh that sticker kit is so pretty!! It's a perfect cutesy Halloween theme! For me personally, I tend to choose which Planner KZbinrs I follow based on how much I like the sound of their voice. Which is weird. But if you're going to spend 20-30+ minutes listening to someone talk, their voice better sound good. And also a little bit based on how interesting and relatable their life is, and what kind of planner they're using. I'm a Sterling Ink girlie through and through, so I love watching other people's Sterling Ink videos. I do watch some people who use other planners, but not as much. Rachelle In Theory I feel like is usually pretty upbeat, but she talks more about like the theory and strategy of planning than Plan With Me videos, so they don't have the same chatty energy that yours do. That's why I love your videos so much, though. It feels like sitting down to chat with a friend. And I appreciate that you're not just narrating what you're doing, you actually come prepared with conversation topics, even if you go off on tangents sometimes haha. Those are always fun too, though!

I'm so glad you're back, and that your brother is okay! Also with those 2025 planners, are you really going to take them apart and put them back together? I can't wait to see that setup video! I love your chatty videos, personally, even if they don't stick to one topic. I specifically like your videos because no other planner KZbinr that I follow has these kinds of "let's set up our planners for the week and just chit-chat about random stuff" videos every week. I think they're a lot of fun. But yes you definitely need to do what's best for your health and your baby, and make videos that you're proud of. And omg yes please don't let ignorant people tell you how to parent your kid! No toddler is going to be their best self when they're away from their normal environment and routine, especially when they sense that the adults around are stressed out because you're all dealing with your brother and your grandma's health issues. He needs love and grace. He'll be fine. I'm glad your husband was able to come get you. Anyone willing to drive 16 hours for you is definitely a keeper lol.

Take care of you! Side note-I had been using Erin concern for many many years, I just switched over to hononichi and sterling ink last July. I did like Erin concern but I just got bored and tired of the big planners. Have fun with them! They definitely are pretty!

❤ I subscribed immediately after “he horse!”

When I see Helen’s steps I’m blown away. Apparently I am a slug. 🤣🤣

I love your chatty videos! It really does feel like sitting down to catch up with a friend. Good luck with everything with your brother. I hope everything goes well with his surgery and recovery, and your sanity is able to stay in tact! Also btw the opposite seasons are in the southern hemisphere. So right now like South America, the southern half of Africa, and Australia/New Zealand are entering spring as we're entering fall.

Ahhh congratulations!! That is so cool!! I love seeing all of your different layout ideas. And yeah that chunk even in your Hobonichi wasn't nearly as much as some people's I've seen. I guess the combination of lots of stickers and tip-ins is what will really do it. I hope everything goes well with your brother!

I love how much you love your animals and will do whatever you can to make their lives as good as possible. As a fellow animal lover, that tells me a lot about your character, and it's great. I'm sorry you're dealing with people who don't know how to have a rational adult conversation with people who have different opinions. Also, I'm kind of curious how chunky your planner is getting at this point? I just use a few stickers per week on mine and it barely has any chunk at all, but you always put tons of stickers on yours, and I'd be scared to do that because I like a little bit of planner fluffiness but I don't think I'd like having a planner that was, like, bursting at the spine.

We are fixing to start the John MacArthur Revelation study in my ladies group. Talk about intense! I’ll have to look into these books for my daughter! Thank you for sharing!

aww congrats on your possible new puppy! she's super cute! And yes I totally agree animals trump people all day every day!!! I'm sorry your cat destroyed your books though. Maybe until you can get a new bookshelf, consider putting a scratching post in front of where you're currently keeping your books? That's what I do with my cat, to make sure if she has the urge to scratch around any of my valuable stuff, she has a "good girl" option.
