Beginner’s Guide to The Happy Planner - Episode 1 : The System, The Discs, The Sizes

[@gyrlgeorge]

I know this is two years old, however, I found it very very helpful. I need things thoroughly, and slowly explained! At 64 I’m not as sharp as I used to be in picking things up quickly. So thank you so much.

Hi Elizabeth! I was looking for your playlist of the Spring release and stumbled upon this video that caught my attention. You are very thorough in explaining the different sizes and will watch your playlist for this episode as it is helpful for someone like me who is new to decorating planners. I have a lot of catching up to do to watch your videos because I enjoy them so much! Thank you!

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

Can you use a big punch for classic size planners

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

Yes you can! Just position the paper in the punch so it distributions 9 punches evenly rather than 12. There are painted markers on the punch as well, which you can use as a guide.

[@purpletetrisdragon]

This video helped so much! Thank you! = )

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

oh i’m so glad ♥️♥️

I'm still so confused. So I bought the big planner for this year worth the pink zebra, also the classic for this year with the pink zebra, as well as the skinny classic moon phases but I'm confused with disc sizes. The expander discs... Does that size come on the 18 month and 11 disc planners or no?

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

Hello! Happy to help! Expander discs refer to the circumference of the discs themselves, not the number of discs on the planner. No expander discs come ready-made ON the planner - they are add-ons purchased separately when you need more room in your planner for additional pages. They are 1.75". Big and classic planners come with the 'classic' size discs (1.25"), and you can pop them off and put on the expander discs if you want to expand the size of your planner. Mini planners come with 'mini' sized discs (.75") Interestingly enough, 18 month planners still have classic discs! So that tells you that you can have up to 18 months of pages before needing to upgrade the size of your discs to the expander size.

[@moonstarsmysticaltre]

I believe 18 month starts in July.

[@pollyolsen5835]

Really, really hoping for more skinny options in the near future!

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

Me too, Polly!!

[@AtSusiesCottage]

Very well explained and put together Elizabeth xxx💕

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️

[@amandamorris7526]

They used to have the micro mini, which is 4 discs

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

The Micro!! Since it's not technically a planner, I'll cover that in the journals and note books video! But yes, thank you for the reminder, I should have mentioned that here. But I'll put that in the description box as another size!

[@amandamorris7526]

@@thejoyfulsojourn I would love to see them come back. I love them for flash cards for when I study and for quick notes at work.
