MY 2022 PLANNER STACK + HOW I PLAN

You inspired me to sticker my whole planner this year all at once and I really love it. Every page is a surprise, and fall is my favorite season, so I have fall stickers to enjoy all year :)

[@AmandasFavorites]

Aw, I am so glad you have loved that too!

[@ttmoore8750]

Loved the planner lined up! I can definitely agree with having a weekly to-do list pad used and then moving into a notebook. It's easier to keep track of progress on paper, better weekly reflection. I'm letting go of trends and suggestions and just doing what makes sense to me.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Agree 100%! We should all just do what makes sense to us which can change as the seasons of our lives do;) Thanks for watching and taking time to chat:)

[@susannek4546]

My planner stack is just a simple 6 ring binder w/mixed media sketchbook paper in it. Going diy this year. Hope you and your family have a wonderful 2022 ahead!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Aw, thank you Susanne:) And I love that you are streamlined and simple!

[@AshleyShelly]

Love love love seeing the Monthly Notebook Planner in our collab for 2022! Thank you for sharing it and hope it serves you well this year! 🙏💖😍

Oh my goodness! I'm sitting here shredding old tax documents listening to you and I really liked the trackers you showed. Then, you mentioned using the EC Perpetual Calendar as a tracker! I gasped and thought that is absolutely perfect! I have plenty and it fits in the back on my EC Daily Duo. It was the perfect solution for me! I know you covered a lot in video which I loved, but this little tidbit was so enlightening! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@AmandasFavorites]

I am so glad that one little nugget will make a difference for you! Thanks for watching and taking time to chat here:) Happy New Year!

[@leilaniausten]

I just found your channel and when I saw your personalized Erin Condren cover family pictures, I wondered if we shared the same faith. Then there were some other things that showed me we do! They say sometimes christians shine a certain light. You obviously do :) So excited to have found you.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Aw, thank you so much Leilani:) Welcome! I am so happy to have you here!

[@donnap1208]

Great video!! I really enjoyed hearing about your Golden Coil in detail!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Oh, good! I have a whole Golden Coil Playlist with videos on every Planner spread I've tried and used from them:)

[@mikezen99]

Hi Amanda. Great video and great ideas. I’m using Living Well Planner weekly and Amplify Planner daily. The latter is my workhorse.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I've never had the Living Well planner in hand...but Amplify is a great one;) Thanks for sharing & watching:)

[@taravaughan4592]

Friend, I LOVED this video SO much. I LOVED hearing about your 2022 planner stack. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love how you're incorporating some new stuff, while still keeping the tried and true...and sticking to the systems you know work for you. That sounds like a perfect, and yet still fun, plan!!! 😘😘

[@AmandasFavorites]

Thanks Tara:) I would think you knew almost all of this and would be boring! LOL:) But to be honest if you made a stack video I would love it too (even if I think I know your stack;)

[@matiwonesa]

Ugh! Every time I see that Ashley Shelly it smarts. I did get the larger one this year instead to see how it works. Btw Erin Condren does sell stands but I think they are different. Thanks for sharing your line up. I am actually using Makselife for goals. I’m trying different planners this year to see what works - Kitlife for the whole month of January (completely forgot that you mentioned the confetti in the box. I opened while sitting on my bed. I still see a little star every now and then even though I have vacuumed several times). Before I saw your Kitlife I had already purchased Simplified again. I kind of still love it. Maybe later in the year I will get an undated Prosper or try out Ashley Shelly’s daily. I definitely need a daily something. Thanks again for keeping us in the know! Happy 2022!! Blessings to you and yours.

[@catherinedevinewhittle8145]

I agree - I’m so sad I missed getting Amanda’s collaboration calendar. I have it in my calendar to be sure to get it for 2023.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Aw, the confetti! LOL:) Thanks for sharing what you are using and trying! You have some great choices there;) What fun it will be to give them all a try! I am sorry you missed the Ashley Shelly:(

[@AmandasFavorites]

I am sorry you missed it too:(

[@matiwonesa]

@@AmandasFavorites I am getting the next one! I put it in my phone and on my calendar to be on the lookout at the end of August/beginning of September.

[@matiwonesa]

@@catherinedevinewhittle8145 Me too! I have it on all of my calendars - electronic and paper.

[@dsimone3720]

I am finishing up my Day Designer Flagship Daily planner (it’s July 2021-June 2022) then I will use the last half of the Kitlife 2022 Daily planner. I use the Budget By Paycheck by The Budget Mom for my finances. I use and a small Moleskine that I got from Target for brain dumping. So basically I have my workhorse planner that has everything and the financial one that I manage daily but use during my monthly marriage meetings. The thing I’ve learned about planning is that while some folks may find my almost all-in-one system overwhelming, others like myself can’t imagine maintaining a more complex system. There truly is something that works for everyone no matter the season in life :)

[@AmandasFavorites]

Thanks for sharing your system and your thoughts:) I love learning about how others plan and how their minds work:)

[@randomhodgepodge8902]

In TX, yes it has been way too hot for December. About 17 days in the 80s using a quick flip of my planner. Looking forward to tomorrow, an actual winter day. Roller coaster time in Houston metro! This will be my first year to have 2 HP planners frankenplanned on expander discs for catchall and wellness/personal and I have my first Stalogy to play around with journaling. Happy New Year, Amanda! Cheers to everyone for this to be a wonderful year!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Wow 17 days in the 80's...that is crazy! I loved hearing about your stack and trying a Stalogy:) Happy New Year to you too!

[@tiffaniwillis9179]

I started using the Katie Daisy planner last year after seeing it on your channel and I love it. I use it as a wellness journal. I track if I did yoga (I'm also doing the Yoga with Adrienne challenge) or some other form of movement and more generally what went well that day and what didn't. It's a relaxing way to end the day.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Oh, that is such a great way to use the Katie Daisy:) Yay for the 30 days with Adriene and thank you for sharing with us:)

[@judyedwards7597]

Great video Amanda, thanks for sharing! This year I'm continuing in my Smythson notebook, which was a gift from my son and daughter-in-law, and I used it daily as a bullet journal (lists and journaling). I'm using a Golden Coil which is almost like your weekly page but with bigger boxes. I draw another box for Sunday on the bottom because weekends can be so busy! I have that on a book stand but open to both pages...my weekly lists are on the facing side: to-do, top 4 priorities, call/email, menu and habit tracker. I have a little B6 annual monthly that gets all my appointments, b-days, etc. I'm doing "Write the Word" again this year as a prayer journal/scripture study. I'm also doing Power Sheets. That said, I'd better go up and plan my tomorrow!!!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hey Judy:) Thanks for sharing your line up...I really enjoyed hearing about each item:) Happy New Year!

[@SimplyAlethia]

I'm committing to Stalogy this year. I've started this new year in a B6 and I'm thinking of testing an A5.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Oh, perfect! I love my Stalogy:)

[@camiele4]

I do that too, I’m a functional person so I do decorate beforehand and jot down in advance. I want to try using a Happy Planner (so I can fold it like a spiral) but I can’t seem to part away from my A5 which contains all my previous notes, pens and stickers. I’m in Texas too btw. 😊

[@AmandasFavorites]

Thanks for sharing a little bit about your planning:) Yay for another Texas friend;)

@@AmandasFavorites great!!! I would love to see your thoughts

[@CreatingSelfCarePlans]

Love that you decided to do the 30 day move yoga practice. I decided to do it, too. So far, I’m pretty sure my abs are going to be rock hard by the 31st. 🤣 Even though I’ve been doing yoga everyday of 2021, I stuck mostly to yin style practices with mostly stretching and relaxing for the last quarter of the year. So my body is like “whoah, okay.”

[@AmandasFavorites]

Lol:) I was surprised that the 30 days has had some challenging stuff in it so far for me too!

[@JenJthatcrazy8]

Happy New Year Amanda! I love how you went through everything. I'm still in my various Happy Planners for 2022. I also have your monthly that I'm going to use for finances. I also have a larger Ashley Shelly monthly that I fill up at the end of the as a refence for work since my work planner is filled with notes, lists, etc. I have Hobonichi Day Free that I'm going to play around with. I've had Katie Daisy for a while and couldn't decide on what to use it for. I decided to use it as a prayer journal/my talks with God.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hey Jennifer:) Thanks for sharing what you are in for 2022. I love what you finally settled on using the Katie Daisy for:) Have a great week:)

My 2022 stack is a hobonichi cousin for planning And for Journaling I'm using an a6 stalogy and hobonichi 5 year Journal for memory keeping/Journaling.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Love that simple stack! Such great books that cover it all!

[@CieisMe]

I have watched several of your videos and actually purchased Katie Daisy, JMB Living and EC items. I'm new to this type of planning, used Daytimers or Franklins a 100 years ago when I had my business, but stickers and washi and all that back then was unheard of - so was KZbin! PCs were just in their infancy, 😂 Since I'm new to this, I'm trying almost everything I've come across - Hobonichi, Wonderland 222 (this one has an entire year tracker in it and quarterly planning besides the weekly planning), Passion Planner, EC, JMB, Jibun Techo, Katie Daisy and a TN. The Hobo Cousin Avec is what I'm trying for a journal - although it's only one page a day - may not work since I tend to use more than that some days and not much others, we'll see. I also purchased a 3 year journal to try - 5 years was a bit too long for me. I have journaled for years and years and years - I would suggest archival ink on your channel sometime because my daughter has tried to read some of my older stuff before she was born (she's 26) and some of the ink has faded too much, never realized I would need or want it back then! Thanks again for all your videos - you do an excellent job of covering the details of each planner/journal you talk about.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hi Cie:) Thanks for sharing what you have been using and trying out;) I love the idea of a 3 yr journal when 5 years is too daunting. And thank you for the archival ink tip!

[@laineruscelle6571]

I am so buying your collab with Ashley Shelley to make sure she makes EXTRA I am so excited to try it for 2023! I am dipping into EC this year as I have watched your reviews and I must admit so far love the quality I really wanted a softbound monthly!! Thank you for the awesome videos I am a new subscriber 😀

[@AmandasFavorites]

I think Ashley will be ordering more this next year now that she knows how many in my community ordered one;) I am glad you are loving the EC quality:) happy to have you here-Welcome:)

[@hollymcafee8704]

Thank you, this is so helpful. For monthly, I like Monday start, dated, with holidays. Do you have suggestions of brands to look into for this?

Glad it was helpful:) Off the top of my head...Golden Coil, Passion Planner, Laurel Denise, Day Designer, Whitney English, Hemlock and Oak, Commit30...Hope that helps!

Thanks for your video😀, I was just wondering what your planner stack was! Mine is the powersheets,, a day free Hobonichi, and a 5 year hobonichi. I’m not sure if this will be enough, I’m kinda missing a weekly layout, but we’ll see how it goes! I really liked your ideas of stickering the year ahead, and I also need to either buy or make a perpetual calendar like you shared! I think it would be perfect for a mood journal. Thanks again🙏🌸

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hey Kirsten:) Thanks for watching and sharing your stack with me. You've got a great line up and I am sure time will tell if you need that weekly layout;)

[@Dreblueskies]

You shared a Katy Daisy (spell?) planner years ago and ever since my mom has used one and loves it. I wish I could be committed enough to use a daily diary but the pressure makes me not do it 😂

[@AmandasFavorites]

I understand about the pressure. No everyone loves to fill in something daily and you shouldn't feel bad about it:) I love that your Mom is enjoying Katie Daisy:)

Hi Amanda, do you have any other favorite monthly planners ? will def get an Ashley Shelly next yr before it gets sold out !

Do you have any unused planners you won’t be using and want to get rid of, I don’t have a big budget but I need a new planner and I can’t get my usual EC life planner this year, and shipping on passion planner is the cost of a planner and I seen you review a lot and I was just wondering if you had any nice ones you might want to sale . Thanks

Hi Jamie. I don't sell Planners unless I purchased them and most of mine I have to keep for the full year for my Top 5 videos and comparisons and questions. I am sorry. Passion Planner often has big sales...if you keep up with their Instagram or subscribe to their emails. Email me at: [e-mail]

I apologize if this has already been asked. Is there another monthly calendar similar to the Ashley Shelley calendar that you recommend since it is sold out? Thank you for your help.

Here is one option: Amplify Planner. I feel is the closest I've seen to the Ashley Shelly. instagram.com/tv/CGNpbqqJLXO/ That is an IGTV review where I shared about Amplify Monthly Planner. Whitney English also has one, but I didn't find that IGTV review right off. But I feel the amplify one is closer.

Hi! Do you know any planner that would help to lose weight????

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hi Kat:) The only fitness/meal tracking planners that I have reviewed are commit 30 fitness planner, Erin Condren Petite Wellness Planner, and Simplified Wellness Planner (IGTV review). Those are focused on meal tracking and recording all those stats. But I personally have used several different weekly planners over the years as food and fitness trackers. Any weekly planner will work (and I have shared my ideas on that in an IGTV over on Instagram). use the columns and boxes for what you personally want to track. I also have a Top 5 Wellness Planners video for 2022...and many of those wellness planners would be good for the mental side of weight loss and some for the tracking aspect too. Hope that helps some.
