but...why do we setup our planners? (2024 planner set up + exploration of planning)

[@PlanWithLaur]

Let me know what you think of this new format and if you have any other big ideas that we should explore like this? 😊

[@LivingWithLacey]

This by far is one of the best videos I’ve seen. I love the format. It felt up close and personal. I felt like I was with you on your journey of planning. “Planning is about each page having a purpose “. So inspiring. People don’t get it. This video explains it all. Thank you for sharing! I’m going to watch it again!

[@JT1358]

When I saw your cover I thought you'd found rings!! Boring I know but I've been using filofax for years - no stickers, no washi, just a swipe of tombo with a little design doodled over the top in a coordinating colour for the month. That's it! Anything more fries my brain. We're all different and my planner isn't an art project but it keeps me grounded. Happy Christmas from UK!

[@SarraCannon]

This video is epic! The format, the information, the vibe. Perfection!! I loved it.

[@CrownchatwithNichelle]

Omg!!!! Yes hobonichi is AMAZING!!!! Monthly, weekly and daily all in one petite book!!!!

[@PlanWithLaur]

It's so good- I'm excited to use it more!

[@MegsGotAPlan]

Love love love this video! "Canvas for individuality" PUT THAT ON A T-SHIRT!

[@PlanWithLaur]

Tell the shops we need a shirt!

[@bkhollyr]

I’ll be using EC for the 7th straight year. I love my EC. This year I decided pen only. No stickers or anything. Too much pressure to be creative when I’m just trying to plan.

[@PlanWithLaur]

There will truly be nothing that compares to that paper - hence why I keep having to use their products LOL

[@deborah5578]

I’ve been using a planner for 40 years started with a franklin covey

[@robbien.3964]

Yes! 2024 will be 35 years for me. ❤

[@debbiel8380]

Me too Laur! This is my first time using a Cousin. I used a Weeks last year and added the Cousin alongside my Weeks Mega. Yeah!!!

[@ElizabethNorton143]

Obsessed with this topic!! Obsessed with the planner community for 8 yrs now!!! I love all your content Laur! Been a huge fan since Day 1 True Fact ❤ “John Michael”❤🎉😊is the name of my husband too

[@bymyrap]

Omg I’m in a Hobonichi cousins for the first time this year too! So excited about it !

[@PlanWithLaur]

I'll admit i've already started on it and it's my favorite!!!!

[@katebaker8763]

Oh my God for the first time I’m going from Franklin Covey to the cousin this year I can’t believe you are too. I’m so excited to hear what you are going to be thinking as you use it.

[@Sewingtrue100]

I use mostly A5 binders, making project lists and sequence of work.

[@CreativeDesignbyJessica]

Nice😊. That's why I love the Wonderland222 it is a BuJo & Planner all in one. TFS Be Blesses

[@ThatSundaySchoolTeacher]

Sticker Oops saves your stickers and helps remove them and keep them sticky so that you can reuse them. :D

[@margaritamartinez6413]

Loveing this Video. I didn't know about celebrity stickers❤❤❤

[@karenbb5063]

Now I want to go to a planner conference, lol.

[@PlanWithLaur]

I am already making my planner conference lineup for 2024!

[@denisehennix]

I tried a weeks once, and I couldn't do it >_< it was too small for me. I have been using a ECLP since 2017... but I wandered over to the disc universe and now I have several happy planner planners :D (PS: I LOVED THIS VIDEO

[@PlanWithLaur]

This is my first year in a cousin and not an ECLP!

[@planwithnerith]

I really liked this type of format! Nicely documented jorney, hope you do more videos like this one 😊

[@PlanWithLaur]

I’ve already started the next one! 🤫

[@RedNailsRedDress]

Hello! Loved this video ❤ I would appreciate it if anyone could comment specific groups they are in and on which platform (or fun events), I am disabled and started to keep a paper journal. Using my phone is giving me more migraines. I've found the Panda Planner is the only one that really works for me. I used to personalize my phone extensively so it definitely carries over to my planner! Using my stamps and stickers in my new planner before the new year is really relaxing!

[@WendyLuWrites]

I used a Panda Planner this year and I enjoyed it so much!!

[@PlanWithLaur]

So glad you enjoyed this video! For community I love wild for planners and wild university!

[@RedNailsRedDress]

@@PlanWithLaur Thank you 🥰🩷 I'll definitely check them out!

[@taradulin211]

Love this ♥️ I am using the hobonichi cousin for the first time in 2024 too 🎉

[@cynthiaplans]

I really enjoyed this format, Laur. The docu-style concept was fun to watch. Looking forward to seeing how your Hobo Techo comes along through the year.

[@wplants9793]

Fun video!! I’m on my 5th year of using the Planner Pad, which I change and customize a ton to fit my needs. Last year I finally “got” what I needed from planning in order to make it magical (funny bc I’ve been using a planner since 2000)…I need to have it be the love child of journaling, tracking/reflecting, and scrapbooking/art journaling. Without the creative aspect I don’t visit it my planner everyday and WITH the creative aspect it becomes a nourishing craft. I have always loved paper crafting and scrapbooking, but it’s so hard for me to actually crank out a scrapbook because I get hung up and editing and printing the photos. It’s as hard as making a quilt - actually quilting is easier for me;) anyways when I finally realized I can scrapbook without photos in my PLANNER and I can do it EVERYDAY I was so happy…and still am.

[@Nymphaaddora]

The archer & olive journal can I have the name of it please..

[@PlanWithLaur]

It is their A5 dot gird - however the cover is from a Black History Month Collab from 2 years ago - I have been saving it #journalhoarderprobz

[@maryannemoll]

I’ve gone completely digital with my planning, and I am so loving it. I started last August, and I am not going back to paper.

[@Harm0niNhips]

That planner sweater you are wearing it cute!! Good luck with your hobinichi! I’ll be sticking to my Happy Planner lined vertical planner this year

[@Cordelia0704p]

I grabbed a cousin and a weeks to use at the end of 2023 because I wasn't using my planners and figured I needed something new. Less than a week later I bought the 2024's

[@deniseplasse5126]

I am in the Hobonichi for the 2nd year and I am loving it! I wonder where did you find a perfect fit plastic cover for your Hobo? I have a couple I bought, but none are the right size! The Hon cover, TOO BIG… Midori, too small. And i didnt find one on the Hobo site… please help

[@claudiaflores4597]

Please link the goal setting kit!!

[@vickyyguuuu]

I love the term how you say you want your planner to feel cozy and lived in. That is SO TRUE.

[@sistersofstyle]

So fun to watch, and I love feeling the vibe, the excitement. It is really the road, the journey,and creating the fun along the way!

[@kandiwiththeplans]

Love this ♥And yasss for Leira, Monday start is thee best!! Such a great video, Laur TFS!! Excited to see how the hobonichi works out for you

[@GIRLNEXTDOOR79]

Omg those Disney stickers from the planner convention do you know who made those I really want that Maleficent one.

[@Ree29Ree]

Love love love it

[@margaritamartinez6413]

Love Love Love❤

[@Dustyphoto915]

I like fountain pens. The KZbin rabbit hole led me here. This is an eye opening revelation.

[@robyn_southafrica]

I've been watching budgeting & planner setup videos for a few months now, but never really thought about the "why" but this video is very informative! 😊 New subbie here! 😘 Happy New Year, Laur! 🤍💫

[@PlanWithLaur]

Happy New Year!

[@rhoadestraveled]

Dang it now I want a cousin

[@PlanWithLaur]

I love it and have committed to it for this year - but I do think all planners can and do work!

[@plannerlex]

Loved it, but ngl the intro made me think you were going to discuss the history of planning as a hobby/niche community 😕

[@PlanWithLaur]

Thanks for watching! Honestly when I first started this video it was just going to be setting up my 2024 planner - and kinda turned into this! I’m thinking the next version maybe is an exploration of the planner community! 👀

[@katsmith8263]

I don't spend money on stickers and washi

[@cls3282]

This is my first time seeing one of your videos, you are so talented! I love your style and the conversations youre having. Also, I think that the clear cover you're using is for the HON version of the book that has a large hardcover, which is why its a little loose. I think a lot of people use the Midori clear cover for their 1 pay a day, and also I know some small shops make them like Laurenphelpsdesigns and sterling ink. Sorry if you knew all this already!

[@PlanWithLaur]

Thank you so much! I'd love to know what other conversations you think we should be having... or other ideas you'd like to see? AND for the cover that makes SO MUCH Sense - AH will have to do for 2024, good to know for my next cousin!

[@PlannerGirlLifestyle]

Hobonichi is bae ❤ my 3rd year🎉

[@amalexander7711]

I’ve used like 5 planners this year. Planning is my way of organizing the chaos in my brain. I love the stickers, the fun layouts, but for someone as indecisive as me, the struggle is real!

[@sistersofstyle]

Having all those planners allows for what we need in that chapter of our year too. That’s me. Sometimes I just need a different kind of format to align my brain.

[@TheStationFairy]

Absolutely love this video so much!

[@kimberlydemaline6606]

Love this video! ❤

[@PlanWithLaur]

Thank you!!

[@missiontohome]

They have a clear cover you can buy so you can change up the stickers on the front cover and not commit to the same ones all year round

[@missiontohome]

Oops didn’t see your clear cover!! 😂

[@lilshona2005]

I love love this!! Thank you!! I tried to find that Archer and Olive a5 but no luck 😩

[@PlanWithLaur]

It is a collab from 2 years ago - I am a journal hoarder LOL

[@lilshona2005]

Makes sense! Thank you! I hoard journals myself

[@PlanWithLaur]

Let me know what planners you’ll be using in 2024! ✨

[@MegsGotAPlan]

Definitely going all in on the Hobonichi cousin!

[@RedNailsRedDress]

Love my panda planner, I actually stuck with planning YAY 🎉

[@ElizabethNorton143]

Erin Condren vertical and Daily Duo Hobonichi Cousin

[@pineconelife]

Sterling Ink A5 compact and passport size. Used Catherine’s B6 last year and loved it. Yet waiting for Catherine to print her planner as ring inserts and then we’re totally good. Been in rings for decades. Love the clean lines of SI, of course the TRP - it’s designed so I can so easily personalize it throughout the year and not planner hop.

[@WendyLuWrites]

I'm using the Hero's Planner and the gratitude journal from Lori Roberts!

[@shelly3251]

Where did you get the beautiful hoodie?

[@PlanWithLaur]

The hoodie is from thee Gap! It is a Gap x Loveshack fancy collab - I wear it very often LOL!
