Funny thing my kid said when she was about 5 or 6- we had recently had an age appropriate version of "The Talk" where I explained her reproductive system. Afterwards, she ran into the arm of the couch, dramatically threw herself to the floor, then gasped out, "I think I scrambled my eggs." This may be my favorite funny moment of hers, but this kid, let me tell you, will kill me with laughter on the daily.

[@likesototallyhillary]

Bumble is so cute in the background. Omg the cutest ❤

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

I’m using mines as a daily scripture reading, I’ve already set up each day for the entire year

[@lauracarter70]

I. Listening to you but I’m watching Bumble 😂 So cute.

[@stephaniehayek714]

lauracarter70 when I noticed Bumble, I actually went back just to watch again. 🤣🤣🤣

[@terriok1]

This is a wee bit off topic but you can use the classroom sheets for teachers to track multiple things in a month. That way you can use a LOT of these ideas at the same time. It is basically a spreadsheet.

[@MsDesignDiva]

I really like the idea you mentioned to use it as a mood tracker. If I were to do that I'd even go so far as to use my collection of Mildliner Pens, and on a piece of note paper create a legend of which colour means what, then each day the mood tracking can be just a dot, and I'd have the rest of the line to track something else.

[@marcellalee-birecki1875]

Foreign word of the day. Learn 365 words in a year.

[@jenniferbrooks8167]

Take Your House back awesome for decluttering! I am going to do decluttering habit tracking! Daily dishes, daily sweep and daily 5 minute pickup!

[@jacquea.listau6318]

Great ideas! I do intermittent fasting and track my fasting hours each day.

[@missnurseeri]

This is a great idea!

[@LivingtheSpooderLife]

thank you this was the most confusing part for me. i appericate these videos for sure!!

[@michelesmith8356]

I’ll be using it for national fun holidays too. Such a great idea! And I enjoyed watching Bumble in the background ❤️

[@helenemadsen1424]

Michele Smith , I must do too, great Idea

[@katrinacole6741]

Where to you all find a list of the fun holidays? I would love to incorporate them into my posts.

[@michelesmith8356]

Katrina Cole I googled fun national holidays. There are several websites to choose from but the one I chose I plugged in my email address and they send me emails with the holidays. They also have a list of all holidays by day, month of year.

[@jamiejacobs1734]

This is what I am gonna do. Such a fun idea and will use for planning as well as social media posts on the holidays ;)

[@charlenetyger9473]

Your dog is the cutest

[@bel8910]

Had decided on "memory of the day" for my Big but didn't want to waste the one in my Mini - Mini will be my mood (since I'm writing both of those things in the daily anyway)

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

For period tracker, you could record you flow (heavy, light, etc) and major symptoms throughout your cycle. (Bloating, fatigue, etc).. highlight your flow days in pink. You could combine with mood or energy tracking. (Whatev we you want to become more aware of in relation to your period)

[@heatherhughes9246]

I have a 9.5 month old and wish I would've had a planner to track daily milestones for him!

[@jae-marieflanagan5017]

I copied them and made 2 extra sets. I track birthdays on one, my Bible reading on one, and a bible verse a day ( I write it out and study it separate from the section I'm reading) on the 3rd.

[@FakeItTilYaMakeIt]

Ok off to Staples to make a dozen copies of these pages😂

[@valerieparr7832]

Me too! Great ideas!

[@kathyren41]

Hi, Mary Ellen! Love these! I’m a Registered Dietitian, so I plan to track National Health Holidays and Food Holidays so that I can coordinate things I’m posting and writing about.

[@lynetteplans7761]

I think I'll add some quirky special days to my layouts when possible. Love your video. 😊❤

[@katrinacole6741]

Love all the ideas. Now I need to make up my mind, LOL

[@angiepayne6104]

Excellent ideas!!! I am using mine to track my weight daily. Bumble was so cute in this video.

[@alaskancat]

I’m really enjoying the sit down videos you’ve been doing! There are some great ideas here, and Bumble is so sweet in the background. 💜 Happy new year MaryEllen!!!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

alaskancat thanks! Trying to get more used to showing my face lol

[@jodiknowles9636]

Thanks, Mary Ellen! So many great ideas! I haven’t decided yet! Bumble has a tough life… 😂😂.

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

Great list! I think Goals will be my main focus. Thanks for this suggestion. Completing them one-step-at-a-time is a wise idea. I watched this video twice and wrote down many of your suggestions. That way, when I really don’t have any plans, I can add some of these to my catch-all. I would add: Planner expenses - gulp! Sticker book usage...to make sure they all get used. Phone call schedule...to friends and family I don’t see often or who live far away. Places to dine...we go to the same places...I need variety! Random acts of kindness from strangers to me...I still remember the first time someone fed my parking meter as I was digging in my purse for change. That was over 30 years ago!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Katie S great ideas!

[@genacorley7650]

I'm using mine to track the days I substitute teach. It's a great "at a glance" tracker.

[@helenemadsen1424]

Think I need a hole planner with just theese year of a glance pages LoL

[@PlanningwithBumble]

I know! It's so hard to choose!!!

[@wearetheEs]

Maybe the happy planner will eventually make a planner of just year-at-a-glance pages. 😉

[@louisech1963]

Photocopie yours before using them

[@missnurseeri]

Hey there's a thought. LMAO

[@beverlystotz5652]

I was using mine for travel but now I have so many better ways to use these pages!! Thank you for this. I loved watching Bumble in the background. I may have missed part of what you were saying.... Lol!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Beverly Stotz haha

[@NaturallyBeingMe1]

Thank you for sharing this!! I got some ideas from you to use my at a glance to track when we start and end a unit of study for the subjects I teach. I will also track the dates for each nine weeks, when I need to give classwork and assessment grades. I will also use to track dates for meetings. I think this will be a helpful way for me to see everything in one place. 🤗 I had every intention on using this at the beginning of school but I neglected the task. Thanks again!

[@blissfully_dory3243]

This was such a helpful video - and also the comment section too! Thank you everyone ♥️

[@kathryneb9555]

Just now watched your video, 10 months later. I'm absolutely in love with the Happy Planner! I'm always looking for ideas to be more organized and creative with it. I came from using Erin Condren -- a bit too pricey. I also LOVE the fact that I can take the pages out! Thank you for your ideas! I love the fun national holidays idea.

[@JesusCoffeeandPlans]

I just left Erin Condren for the same thing

[@anndoll221]

I have a special planner for my dogs and the yearly is for when I open new prescription bottles. For my budget planner I use them for daily spending. For my catchall I am using it as a combo vacation/home maintenance. For my work planner it is vacation/deadline schedule.

[@jasminelusher7563]

Thanks so much for the ideas. You inspired me. This will be so useful for me. I am going to track hours of sleep and one word on how I felt each day. That way I can easily see if anxiety or stress is related to how much I slept.

[@caraszczepanik]

So many great ideas!! I am having a hard time choosing. I think tracking the fun national holidays will be fun. I also will track my sleep, I need more of it. I'm also considering tracking the number of hours I fast each day, my weight, days I DON'T yell at my kids ( :-;), and house cleaning/de-cluttering, or maybe a word of the day. See so many great options!!

[@katyv4614]

Thank you for all of the great ideas! I can’t decide if I want to keep track of my steps or for the fun National Holidays! And birthdays/anniversaries and appointments and etc! And I enjoyed seeing Bumble hanging around behind you... he’s so cute!

[@stephanieleonards6725]

This was so very helpful! I think I am going to use my pages for house cleaning/organization as well as my son's school schedule.

[@IndigoNili]

Such a helpful video! Thanks! ❤️

[@heavywithmood7]

You are always so fun to watch and I love the down to earth real ness you project. I needed ideas for these pages and now I have so many options! Thank you 😀

[@loribabineaux2945]

Thank you for this list! Several of these will be really helpful for our family.

[@MichelleGissara]

I'm doing fun holidays aswell as regular holidays and birthdays in mine. Thanks for the idea to use the days in Planning spreads.

[@stephanie98453]

I loved watching this video. So many great ideas. I'm going to use mine for a word of the day.

[@jande14]

I was so excited to see these pages in the HP this year, but now there's so many ideas that I can't decide! I think I'm going to use it for several things and color code. Great ideas, thanks!

[@creativewithjia]

I will go for using it for cleaning routine and period tracker 👍

[@thelms2884]

Love these ideas! I will be using this afternoon to figure out what I will track on these pages! Probably will use to track weight/steps/H2O intake on one page, then another separate set for fun holidays and birthdays/anniversaries!

[@juliepurplechick6161]

I keep only the next four months in my planner. I use the sheets to note things beyond that, like a dental appointment six months from now. When I add new months to my planner, I check my annual pages to see what i need to load to my monthly/weekly. I think you should track how long Bumble naps on the bed. Haha

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Julie PurpleChick haha she’s so lazy!

[@kathyleo969]

Happy New Year to you and your family! Love your ideas. I plan to do weather and meals on my weekly ( helps to fill it up 😂). I am thinking world and/or national headline of the day. I often feel I miss something b/c some event is over covered and others are barely touched that I feel are important. It’s interesting how when I mentioned, some ppl are really? That happened???!!!! Maybe I am making sure I am not crazy 😂 Thank you for all of your ideas, you have inspired me as I begin my first full year in a planner.

[@louisech1963]

I'm going to track how many times I buy stuff from Michaels for my HP or my Cricut.lol I use mine for Canadian holidays that are not there. Love your channel and your ideas. Give a treat to bumble for me please.

[@ashleyhaskins8618]

Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@michellealdrich]

I love everything about this 🌈 TFS 💕

[@andudontstopyo]

Those are excellent ways to use the yearly overviews. Great video!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Thanks! I hope it helped!

[@geriredlinger3000]

Lots of awesome ideas!

[@Chroniclesofacashstuffingirl]

That was some good ideas thank you 😊

[@Angelica..S]

I love all these ideas!! I’ll be using it to track my weight daily 😀

[@paperandme1149]

Water intake for me. When I’m hydrated I feel so much better.

[@lindaestoll1104]

Thanks for this video, I was just going to ignore that daily feature of my planner! I think I’ll track weight and since I’m a gardener- rainfall amounts.

[@HK-nc7fr]

The outfits one is a great one. I'm trying to honor my capsule wardrobe and using it for tracking my outfits has been good to me.

[@robinlynn2023]

I was just referred to this video because I bought 2 vertical hourly layout Happy Plannere and was wondering how I was going to use those pages. Thank you so much good ideas 💡 Thank you Bumble and Mary Ellen 😊 🥰💜

[@wendykenyon390]

I think I'll use mine from step counting.

[@ashleyaliviado8381]

I am using one set of my year at a glance to track weather. I deal with SAD , depression, and anxiety and I am looking for patterns/triggers. Side note, I live in Lafayette, IN and was in the planner aisle at Michael’s the other day and overheard a couple other “planner people” chatting and one said something about Mary Ellen and I immediately knew it was you! We stood in the aisle and gushed over you for a few minutes. 💕💕💕 @mamaneedamargaritas

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Ashley Aliviado haha that’s awesome, thanks for telling me that!

[@magickaldust1213]

I track this and the moon! (Both percentage full & sign its in) I'm so interested to start seeing patterns

[@miloroyce2797]

You prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my account password. I love any tricks you can offer me.

[@keegangordon1520]

@Milo Royce Instablaster :)

[@miloroyce2797]

@Keegan Gordon thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@alexxCAUGHTFIREEx3]

I know I'm super late but I've just gotten into happy planner and I'm using mine in my classic as a vinyl of the day where I write 1 album I loved that Day and my skinni mini I'm writing how many pages I read/ a quip from each day for the day pages (i,e, great therapy, loved the look. Etc

[@emilyrogers3271]

I was trying to decide what to do with At a Glance pages. I decided to use your idea for a daily Bible verse. I will write the name of the book of the Bible, chapter and verse on the line. I will then use notes pages to write out the actual verses. Tfs your ideas.

[@loridee21]

This is a fantastic video! You're so down to earth and you also remind me of. . . me! Thank you for so many great ideas to use in my planner. I 'm a subscriber and can't wait to watch more in the future. Keep up the great work!

[@geriredlinger3000]

One thing that the pages could be used for is legal issues. Our son is starting his journey in an attempt to remove his son from a toxic/abusive environmrnt & to gain custody of his son. I think these pages would be awesome to dedicate them to legal appts & information he gains.

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Sorry to hear about what is going on with your son. I am sure the pages could be useful for that.

[@mariabennett6327]

I’ll be tracking my daily glucose level as I’m diabetic. In addition , I’ll track the books I’m reading.

[@alaskancat]

Maria Bennett same. Blood sugar and blood pressure are things I need to track daily.

[@beverlystotz5652]

I so need to get back to reading! I've gotten away from it because of my other hobbies. My monthly currently page has the same book listed for the past 4 months!!

[@mariabennett6327]

Beverly Stotz I get that! I’m trying to read every night before bedtime. Helps me relax too. Maybe you need a different book lol

[@beverlystotz5652]

Lol!! I just need to finish this one!! It is interesting but I was expecting more story, less text.

[@AH-ik3pv]

You are just simply brilliant! If I could and you had room, I would ABSOLUTELY join your top Patreon level! Thank you for this. I’ve been struggling with how to track and honor my fertility journey and this helped!

[@maureenmccrackin6933]

These are terrific ideas!

[@stephaniehayek714]

Welp. You could add tracking the "doodle of the day!" 🤣 Also had a moment when you were talking about changing habits like too much TV and stuff and try to do it less... 😳 uh, I probs should spend less time with my planners, stickers and stuff. 😬 I guess. Maybe. It'll help me stop over thinking my spreads. Maybe. I have started to try to practice my brush lettering and or doodling daily since the new year. Forces me to try more hand lettering in my teacher and classic planners if I haven't opened my practice booklet. As a teacher, I loved this yearly tracker for all the staff mtgs, special ed mtgs, committee mtgs, collaboration days, evening events, etc. This made me think though. I think Heather Kell also mentioned decluttering so it may be something I'll add now that it's on the brain. Thanks ladies. Also Bumble is a hoot. I know you think we might get annoyed with the barking or crying to get up...but it's all in your name. We know Bumble is gonna be there with you. It's funny when my dog reacts and looks around for the dog she hears. Poor Peaches hasn't figured it out.

[@kcueva313]

Great ideas thx for sharing this 👍

[@kathryngrace7978]

You could use it to track screen time! I know that iPhones show how much screen time you have each day and it’d be nice to see how much you use your phone throughout the year. (I did not see the part where you said tracking time doing things before writing this lol)

[@prophetessmarie9742]

THANK YOU

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I was literally getting on KZbin to look up videos on different ways how to use these pages!

[@valh3503]

Girl you’ve been killing it with the planner content. I was JUST looking for inspo for this.

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Thank you! I'm so glad I can give you the content you're looking for!

[@evesbudget7560]

Great ideas!

[@cherylrobertson5629]

I’m using mine for birthdays. BTW, I love your hair!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Cheryl Robertson aw thank you so much!!!

[@carolsailer1395]

Man...I wish I would have waited...to use them & make copies for other things... I’m using mine for anniversaries & Birthdays...I don’t have many I track...so, I can use mine for other things... I’m also doing a big declutter in 2020!!! Love Bumble in the background!!!

[@intentionallyinpired]

Whatttt I need to make 70 copies of these haaa

[@poisonlady1965]

I have chronic pain and track pain level, what parts of the body hurt and what helps. I also track my sleeping like you do. I suffer from insomnia and track how many hour, what helps and what might contribute to it.

[@yasminpena4285]

Thank you for this! I subscribed to your channel because I love your content! Keep up the good work :-)

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Yasmin Pena Thanks so much for subscribing!

[@tokalekaw4]

Where can I get the pages already printed with the holes?

[@nenelady7049]

Love your shirt!! Would you share where you got it? Happy New Year! Here’s to a great 2020!🥂🍾

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Thanks! That was one of the shirts in my latest Stitch Fix box! There is always a link in my descriptions for $25 off Stitch Fix if you are interested.

[@gloriacopeland3037]

In my faith planner l do a verse of the day on my monthly so will do the same on the yearly. In my Fitness planner l track my step info on my monthly from my Fitbit so will put the steps only abs or water intake on the YAAG calendar. I put my OOTD in my RR YAAG calendar and on the monthly l track any online purchases and sub boxes. In my Budget monthly I track Bill's on the YAAG calendar l will track savings . In my wellness l track blood pressure in my monthly and word of the day on my YAAG calendar. Lastly in my catch all planner monthly l every one in the house appointments so on the YAAG l will track only my appoints for work medical hair nails etc.Just added a reading planner for 2020 not sure what's going on that one...no pressure thou6 TFS ....

[@anjieh1104]

I plan on tracking my blood sugar, blood pressure and the number of emails read and deleted per day

[@nettieletkeman5978]

Is there a way we can get a printout of the list of ideas. I need to use a planner now it helps me a lot with my ADHD so I don't stress so much about forgetting things.

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Nettie Letkeman I would, but with the new videos of the year and Patreon starting up I just didn’t have the time. Sorry!

[@nettieletkeman5978]

It is all good. Happy new year.

[@stephaniehayek714]

Nettie Letkeman I'm sure someone here wrote down her ideas and could share her list.

[@melaniemichaels6120]

I just purchased a new undated classic planner and it didn’t come with the year as a glance inserts. I tried searching for them but I don’t know what expansion pack they’d be in. Is there any way you can direct me in the right direction? Thanks!

[@terriok1]

I bought them on etsy.I bought two different ones inexpensive.

[@MrsHenny91]

❤

[@BeccaPossible]

What kind of dog is Bumble? He is too cute!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Rebecca Whitlock she is a shichon. A shih tzu bichon mix

[@myretiredlife.9261]

How about tracking charitable contributions including item donations.

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Sharyl Renner great idea

[@SasssyRita]

So many suggestions ....... so hard to choose .......🙂
