7 Planning Styles for your Passion Planner

[@t3mptr3s]

Just woke up from a 3 hour nap. Best use of my time, now I can get all the things done.

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

sounds wonderful! I hope you caught some extra zzz's for me!

[@kcbooks1354]

That's me too with these enormous naps....like geez

[@esthert9146]

Wow, this was really helpful and I didn’t realize I was doing layout 4. I really enjoyed this video.

[@leahk8555]

I liked the suggestion to avoid drawing the lines for boxes all the way to the edge. I always wondered why some layouts look so good. It really is more eye appealing. Thanks

[@nininana972]

Just got a passion planner as a birthday gift, I was excited but overwhelmed with where to start. Thank you for making this helpful video!

[@consciousnesseducation2064]

This was absolutely so helpful to me… I have tried, and failed to use planners over the last several years and when, looking at the pages, never knew how to make it really fun… Thanks so much for this!

[@ninawalker9943]

Thank you for the information. I liked the on-time layout. I'm going to try that.

[@dancingverona1281]

I love the layout of the time tracking especially . I ordered another planner because I spilled coffee all over it even though it will probably start from end of April, I can't wait to fresh with these layouts !

[@misscvb]

To-do list example is a game changer! I didn’t even think to use it that way. Thank you!

[@gmatkin]

Thanks Chelsea! Great demo of styles! What was the tool you were using to place and trim stickers and washi? I have never seen one of those and now MUST. HAVE. ONE. 🤣

[@comegetthiscommentary]

I just ordered the undated ones they had on sale for $3 ...I appreciate this video. 💜

[@mtb3803]

I bought the one in this video for $3,14! I'm new to this! YAY

[@comegetthiscommentary]

@@mtb3803 Mine just came yesterday! My favorite planners are Happy Planners Recollections and Erin Condren. I'm relatively new to Passion Planners. I'm addicted to washi tape stickers and pens. 😩😂

[@mtb3803]

@@comegetthiscommentary I havent received mine yet sadly. But I live in Europe so it will take some extra time. I am entirely new to planning. I've been wanting to plan my things for years and now.. it is finally happening :D Ive heard about the Happy Planners! I will check those out as well. I decided for this Passion Planner because they look really nice ánd they were on offer for only 3,14! (on Pi day) so I had to try! :D I've got some washi tape and stickers as well! All I need now is my Passion Planner to arrive!

[@TheMarvelousBeautyChannel1]

I just purchased for $7. Three bucks would have been better though. Lol.

[@jmatos7872]

$3.00 where and when? 🤣🤣 I need those undated ones, I bought the dated for $7 and haven’t used it but will buy stickers to use them for 2021.

[@amandasteele9486]

This was definitely a great video for me. Love how you showed the different ways. I seem to like the time tracker and to do lists so far but I'm just so glad to even see that there are options. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Sincerely.

[@mscmaxwell]

This was wonderful. I liked the blocking method for sure, but the Todo list and journaling sounds good too. Since I have clients hourly I'm wondering how I can combine journalling and time blocking. I've been horrible with using my planner since I finished school.

[@bodine219]

I bullet journal, but I've been struggling to find a daily/weekly set up that works for me so this video was useful. Thank you.

[@annettefertitta6868]

Humidity definitely messes with things. I think as long as you allow the Pima to dry, you can highlight over it you might not be able to right after you write. I remember trying to keep up with 3 kids schedules, wish I’d have thought of or seen the color bar!

[@dressdaciemay7463]

This was so helpful! I’m new to passion planners & I got an undated one, so I don’t know where to start! I liked the color blocking & To-Do list styles.

[@nicoleraymond1026]

thank you for the video examples. i’ve had my planner for several months just looking at it, now i know where to start!

[@annettefertitta6868]

I agree with making the rectangles slightly smaller looks great!

[@jiadoughman]

Thank you! Love the presentation on all the styles of planning.

[@NohemyAdorno]

I ordered my first passion planner and it arrives on Wednesday. Thanks for sharing this video. It was helpful in figuring out how I want to set my planner up.

[@isirlasplace91]

I love seeing all these layout ideas. It made me realize I use a combo of a few of them and some of the other ones would work better for certain days for me!! Thanks for sharing💖

[@tuomi1154]

I love to mix time blocking and time tracking. On Sundays I Time block all my events and lectures for the coming week. When the days go on I Time block a bit more to plan study time and chores. Then I track my time during the day and compare my time blocks to the actual time used

[@102mzr]

Thank you for commenting! So helpful to understanding how I could possibly combine time blocking and time tracking 👍

[@susansimons8570]

I love this video! I showed my roommates because I got them using the PP. And it can be overwhelming to start. Thank you for sharing the different ways😊

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

Oh yay! Roomie planning party!

[@dawnlee3279]

Thank you, this was a very helpful video. Trying to balance work, bookstagram page and content creation and everything else, the blend of 3 panning styles work for me - stickers, to do in 9 -5 slot and color coding.

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

Glad I could help! It can be tricky trying to fit everything in sometimes!

[@AnneHoA]

I've become a very functional planner with time blocking and color coding. Now that I finally really know what works for me, I want to start introducing more stickers. (I tried stickers a few years ago, but it was very overwhelming since I didn't know what I was doing back then.)

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

Yes! I totally recommend figuring out how you use your planner before sticker-ing because it can be very overwhelming! Once you figure out how your planner works for you, then you can replace elements or add stickers.

[@huethealth8065]

Hi Chelsea! Great video! Can you tell me where you got the tool for placing & cutting your tape at around minute 21:00? I would LOVE to have that. I have been struggling a little with placing stickers & tape since starting to work with my Passion Planner. Thanks in advance!

[@vivluvstoplan1292]

LOVE this video. So helpful for passion planner beginners!

[@jessicagamboa120]

This was a great video. I love how you showed different techniques all in one week. It was kind of eye opening and will help with how I use my planner now

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

glad I could help!

[@julycordoba2295]

Thank you for this video. This is exactly what I was looking for!

[@susanbertrand8620]

This was a helpful video. I received my new Passion Planner, that red one!, and will consider changing a few of my methods. I am ordering that little tool right now though.

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@manonciarlo1516]

Thank you for your video.The one that I will choose will be the one on Thursday because I already made my pattern on google calendar

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@olivia_thedreamer]

Love to see different styles! I think I wanna use more highlighters or colored pens for my different businesses and and of course stickers!! Lol

[@jetlaggedjanice]

Seriously loved this video! I think I figured out my preference - I had such a hard time trying out different styles and this gave me so much clarity, thank you!

[@krissyp8244]

I'm new to Passion Planner and hourly planning. Watching this video was so helpful to me. I was so used to vertical planning. Trying to figure out what style(s) work best for me and my schedule. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@rsvp89]

I LOVE HOW YOU SPEAK WITH SUCH CLARITY! I need to learn how to highlight

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

thank you! Yes, I've learned that highlighting is a skill! My husband is always in awe of how I highlight! 😂

[@chansonette22]

So cool! Thank you. Now I'm inspired to get one 🥰

[@TheaTCuccia]

Thank you for this video. Is this the medium or large size Passion Planner?

[@jisellealvarez9974]

I will definitely be implementing Monday Thursday and Friday! Thanks for sharing, I will be using my first daily planner and I hope I can stick with it!

[@teresitaromero4325]

Epiphany! If you feel like blocking off 9-5 for work is wasting your planner page, it’s probably wasting your life too.

LOVE THIS

[@flows2815]

Damn emotional damage lol and u right!

Chelsea great info. Learned so much. Inspired.

[@yassaminf2575]

What is the tool used to cut washi tape and apply the stickers?

[@kickinitnoG]

I am new to passion planner and I have been playing around with many styles. I enjoyed this video. I have adopted a mix between Monday and Thursday all color coded of course...lol. instead of shading the times in a thin area I out line the times on the planner in color and I alternate color blocks. Thanks again!

[@amyeskelsen8237]

This is great! I just got my passion planner and I'm trying to figure out how to use it. Thank you for your videos.

[@MaryChrapliwy]

thanks for sharing - I'm starting my undated late - you gave some great ideas. would love to know more about your miracle morning

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

Yes! Miracle Morning is a book (you can find my Amazon storefront in the video description.) The basic principles are that you wake up early enough to dedicate time to self-care and self-improvement. It's a quick read and I highly recommend it!

[@anitamehrotra4278]

Thank You for sharing the different layouts for planners...very creative❤

[@shanekahowellmivida9812]

Wow! What a very helpful video! Thank you! I'm definitely going to try the Friday style. 😊

[@diaryofasadblackgirl]

it actually looks really cool. I think my favorite is second one with the mildliners. I honestly just write a giant to do in my weekly and then I use the daily for all my glam and fun spreads and break things down :)

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

fun! I need to get more glam in my Daily... it needs some flair.

[@msmeryllia]

Yay! thanks for these ideas, I like the Thursday & Saturday one, cutesy!

[@KathieLaShell]

I heard you say that you were in Colorado. I’m on the western slope and wondered if you were close?

[@kylewendyskultety8012]

What's the name of the tool that you used to place your stickers and cut the washi tape? I need one! Thanks

[@travelnewbie]

Love this video! Got some inspirations for future plannings :D

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

thank you! I'm glad I could help!

[@emilynewman6571]

You should do a video sometime on ways you can change/adapt/cancel in your planner when your schedule or other things you wrote aheAd of time change!

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

that is a great idea!

[@muddygirlmedia]

LOVE THIS and thank you for showing the other styles -- I like color and time blocking and have started using them! I like that you mentioned products! What was the sticker tool you used??

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

it's called a Silhouette Spatula! You can find it on Amazon or any big box craft store by the vinyl cutting machines.

[@susanbertrand8620]

That tool is what’s missing for me. I do like washi tape but I have been fiddling about with scissors.

Great examples!!

[@dsturgiss]

I am a glammed up planner girl..i need all the stickers...but its got to be functional too!!

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

Yes! Sometimes us glam-gals get some heat about being too glamorous. But if a sticker helps you live your best life then who cares!

[@NikitaBx2]

Thank you. This video was very helpful.

[@ElizabethCrafts]

What do you use the sidebar & the to do lists at the bottom for?

[@clAssIcAllymINdless]

Love this video!

[@rebeccafrost7162]

This is great. Thank you. I’m going to try the time tracking for the next few weeks.

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

let me know how it goes!

[@rebeccafrost7162]

Chelsea Brown Designs I’m one day is. So far so good! I definitely need a bigger size.

[@elena_milano]

"Hamburgers five days in a row" hilarious. The video gave me some great variety ideas. You Rock Lady!

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

I'm not going to judge! 😂

[@ikhouvanjou86]

I'm definitely a functional glam girl as well. It's my first year using a passion planner but I presume I'm going to do journaling/memory keeping similar to you for vacations and the like. I can't live without my stickers so as minimalist as the other styles are...I just can't do them LOL

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

I throw in a pen-only spread here and there. They make for a good palette cleanser if I start feeling board with my more glam spreads. Otherwise its all stickers all the time!

[@ikhouvanjou86]

@@chelseabrowndesigns3275 nice! I think I dont do pen only spreads because I tend to do those for my work to do lists and such.

[@jalexanderphotography6264]

Sooooooo helpful!!! 👍🏽

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

J Alexander Photography thank you!

[@maefrankeberger1748]

I like and have tried color coding! What would you suggest for someone who's plans constantly change around? This has happened to me multiple times and I'm left with the highlighter lol!

[@ms.hunter962]

Have you tried something like washi tape that you could peel off and replace?

[@Stormbrise]

Hmm I have gone to two planners also, a daily and a weekly. Both Japanese planners. I do a top 3 tasks and then record my time working on my thesis in the weekly. So that panned is a mostly “study” planner. My other one is a daily where I will write time asleep overnight, journal and daily gratitude, spending and non study tasks. I went to billet journals for awhile but felt I was using it to procrastinate so I bought these two journala

[@jimbarton3956]

2:01 First planner style: Time-blocking 6:00 And coloring the blocks in.

[@lauram8419]

This was a great video. How would you use the bottom section for each of the seven layouts?

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

It depends on the layout! I usually use for weekly goals/todo list. But I've also used that space for social media tracking, tracking my sales for Chelsea Brown Designs, a fun quote or I just leave it blank!

[@tcslife3336]

Thank you for this. I love the to do approach.

[@GwynWalker]

[@champagnehughes1623]

How would one use the to do list on the bottom if we use the to do list method during the day? 🤔

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

I use the to-do list on the bottom as a weekly goal to-do list and then the daily to-do list just keeps me on track for what I want to get done each day. I hope that helps!

[@champagnehughes1623]

Chelsea Brown Designs I think so. So, you use the bottom portion for big projects that need to be done and use the days as smaller steps to achieve completing them? If so, I thought about that and felt like I was doing double work. I was interested in seeing other ways that I could use that space so it doesn’t feel like I’m repeating myself. Any thoughts on that? I kind of like that you had a meal plan for one I believe but please let me know of others. Btw Thank you sooooo much for responding

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

@@champagnehughes1623 yes, you got it correct! I just love the feeling of checking something off of a to-do list so the more checks the better! 😆I do have other stickers for that area! I have a weekly meal plan, and health and fitness prep checklist, homework tracker, habit tracker, cleaning zones, debt tracker, finance tracker, grocery list, macro counting tracker, and a travel planner!

*What* is a passion planner? Is it a bullet journal but with a "fancier" name?

[@chelseabrowndesigns3275]

Bullet Journals are dot-grid notebooks, they don't have any structure to them so you can fill it in how you like. The Passion Planner is more like a day timer so it has your week broken down for you to plan out your life. You don't have to draw it in like you would a bullet journal.

[@aw8758]

What size is this one?
