Falling behind!!! Chatty catch up

[@trehs98]

I love your honesty, I’m a chronic illness sufferer myself and I have so many bad days. I try to fake it to make, but it doesn’t always work. I even watch my grandbabies twice a week and when I can’t I feel absolutely. Like I’m letting everyone down. They say they understand but you tell they don’t. Keep up your hard work try your best not to give into the depression. I have faith in you Becky❤❤❤❤

I understand. It’s so hard. But we just keep at it!

Also I love the dog snores in the background - LOL

Things you could track to compare against your mood: your caffeine consumption, exercise, self care, whether you went outside, if you socialised, or screen time

[@joanndilley6583]

I know for me my mood fluctuates with that time of the month a lot. Sometimes my mental health will tank with a trigger be it with what someone says or does and it takes a long time to work myself through it. Love you lady and love your channel. ❤

[@ccrgrl]

If you don't feel instant love, put it down. Plan for you because that is your magic, I, myself , handle being overwhelmed by shutting down and doing nothing, maybe that's why your struggling.

[@theredemu]

I find after a lull in mood, I find myself wanting to change because I think it'll prevent the low mood. I also found myself wanting to change systems around my cycle. I think it was a type of nesting desire almost but it affected planning systems or how my furniture is arranged. Just something to keep in mind as possibly the cause for your dissatisfaction right now and desire to change things up. I actually started tracking when I was happy vs wanting to change things up and that's when I realized it was connected and a cycle itself. I found if I ignored the need for change, I felt settled shortly after whereas changing made it worse after.

[@jennifersullivan7909]

The thing I've found that helps me is that I don't change my lineup at all for the year. I have an A5 Cousin, a Weeks, and a Stalogy of some size. The Stalogy is somewhat unnecessary, but I love the flexibility of it and I do whatever in it. I resist the pull of all the other planners I see (not always easy). The money is much better spent on beautiful stickers. That's what works for me. I have no interest in the CP for my own reasons. I'm team Cousin, baby. 😉

[@theredemu]

How do you use your cousin and weeks

[@Junifer33]

I always enjoy watching your channel, the struggle is real with the planners. It's wonderful to have such a choice of planners now even compared with 10 years ago. I always last about 6 months too. I have a Hobonichi Tech for my personal page a day diary. The rest change throughout the year!

[@vernabailey3671]

I forget which video I was watching, but the woman was saying how her therapist told her to make an accomplishment list of the things she did, instead of a to-do list. That way, it's more positive instead of getting down about what didn't get done. I started doing that, and I see you do also. I do keep a running to-do list separate so I don't forget what I need to do. But I'm doing much better with accomplishments. Even if all I had energy for was coffee and TV shows, if I write it down, I know I did something besides feel bad. Nice video. Take care of you.

[@amycampbell2264]

Love your calligraphy omg you are good

[@Whoopsididitagainco]

Thank you so much 😀

[@cathiejo2165]

Your planners are alway so beautiful! And you do such a good job of filling out your trackers!

[@JustScribble]

No real changes for me in my planner line up. This year I've been changing up my EDC that I carry to work to try different sizes and just play in some different planners. But the planning setup is pretty much the same in all of them. And my overall system is the same as it was in January. Sometimes as a KZbinr it can be hard to see other channels grow at a different rate because they use certain planners but I just use what works for me because my planner being functional is most important - and I also know you can find inspiration from others regardless of what size/brand planner they use. So I just use what I love or what works for me. I saw focus on what brings you joy and what works for you. And focus on the stuff you need first. The extra stuff you want to do can be added in or compliment it.

[@shewhocraftsandplans7736]

Out of all the planners you have had my favourites are the weekly and the stalogy. X

[@Whoopsididitagainco]

I think those were the ones that worked the best as well. For some reason I just dont like the Hobonichi weekly anymore. I do like the papertess designs one though. X

[@lauramclaughlin7663]

Love your nails😊 also love your planners.❤

[@whitewolfmother901]

I hit the wall hard at the middle of the year...and ended up back in a ring bound planner.which I am loving because I can add decoration where I need it especially to make me feel good

[@blakeley-shea]

I absolutely loved the Artist’s Way!! I think I want to do it again! Also, what cover are you using for your HoBo Cousin? 😮 I really like it!!!

[@Whoopsididitagainco]

I’m using this one hun yuruliku.myshopify.com

@@Whoopsididitagainco Thank you so much Becky!!! Have a fabulous and blessed day! Xo

[@cathiejo2165]

Beck.... stay in the standard sizes...... actively. 🥰 cause I love standard size too! Use the A5 for us afterwards for us? Or use the pouch as a supply carrier...

[@terrilee6849]

I track my mood, sleep and pain level in graph form to see what, if any corilation, exists between say: higher pain and less seep and a depressed mood are something that tracks and shows in the graph. I get very little sleep and have a cronic degenerative ain condition that sometimes has resulted in hospitalizations due to complications. This would obviously effect my mood in a negative manner. That's an extreme example but maybe tou could track pain with the other two to see if the sleep and mood effect your pain levels. Hope this helps.

[@shewhocraftsandplans7736]

I’m struggling T the moment, forcing myself to get up etc. I’ve got osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia iron deficiency anaemia and an h era rice thyroid…… im feeling totally overwhelmed.,,.don’t buy a Range Rover…. We’ve had a. Umber of them and they are not reliable and VERY expensive to repair! The other half has one but I have a Kia Sportage which I absolute adore!

[@mrsmoodle]

Hi, I’m not sure if it’s just me or not, I’ve tried altering the settings but the video is all burred 😓 let me know if it’s my end so I can fix it. It’s on the highest quality but I’m not tech savvy xx

[@Whoopsididitagainco]

I just watched it and there are some blurry bits at the beginning for sure. I’m so sorry. 😔

[@mrsmoodle]

@@Whoopsididitagaincooh no it’s fine, I just wanted you to know so you’re aware that’s all 😊 I still watched to the end x

[@amycampbell2264]

Same problem here. It’s very blurry with high setting!

[@cathiejo2165]

With you... love standard size!

[@aaalicinha]

Not done watching, but are you familiar with Monique Plans? She has a main book that she uses for everything then her other planners are projects. For example the Sterling Ink could be your main planner that keeps you organized and the Avec could be your planner “project” that you are experimenting with. No pressure and it’s fun! 😊

[@Whoopsididitagainco]

No I haven’t heard of her but I will definitely look her up now. Thanks so much I really like the sound of this idea x

[@ccrgrl]

Thanks!

[@Whoopsididitagainco]

Thank you so much this means the world to me x

[@amycampbell2264]

How do you do this?

[@cathiejo2165]

I love pink too, but I'm not so talented at the decor!

[@lizzieblades]

omg I've done The Artist's Way twice. I truly hope you enjoy it. It's a wonderful course and helps re-frame a lot of ideas

[@Whoopsididitagainco]

Oh yey it’s so nice to hear from someone who has done it. Do you think you need to be an artist to do it? I’m not an artist but I count planning to be artistic in a way x

[@moniquedeguia-jones5570]

You love the aesthetic of your books. Why stress over filling each of them and maybe just play with whichever page you feel that day, whichever planner it lands in? Without expectations of yourself. Might ease the stress you are feeling. Enjoy your planning for YOU.

[@Makersimagestudio]

Just wondering, you might have said, but why did you go away from Stalogy? I’ve been consistently using the Stalogy for 8 weeks lol which is very long for me. I use a Stalogy a5 cut down to standard/tn. I agree, don’t plan for KZbin, plan for you. That’s what helps people the most (I think) is showing what actually helps you plan. Either way, love your channel!!

[@Whoopsididitagainco]

Hey hun, I don’t think I’ve actually ever said but the reason I don’t use Stalogy anymore is because they don’t do the standard size and I wanted a crisp Planner every time I cut mine down it was never perfect and so many other companies were bringing out standard size.

[@Craftedbyashe]

I vote vertical N1

[@cathiejo2165]

Beck, If you sold everything and had nothing...... no planners no stickers, no pens, markers....... nothing........ breathe for a few moments, feel the freedom from all the things, then tell me What one thing would you buy again? What you need to do for you to enjoy....

[@ultimatecin_73]

I completely understand where you are coming from with the cousin. I have really been struggling with using it this year and have only used maybe 1/4 of the daily pages because I just don't always feel like writing every day or feel I have something WORTH writing about every day. So I've only been noting significant events in the dailies but I feel like I'm wasting so much paper as far as the days I'm not filling in. I already have memories and ephemera logged into the cousin so I don't want to trash it. I'm just powering through at this point but I think next year I may just do something like plannermonkeyco's notebook where you have the blank monthlies in the beginning and then blank pages afterwards where I can just write about those significant events/memories without having a dated day per page. Don't know if that makes sense.

[@mrsfoxezplans-akatonifox1315]

Hey Bec can I just give you some advice regarding the Range Rover 😮 Ok Ive had one my ex husband has one and my Daughter in law has one. Obviously Im in Australia and my Daughter In Law is in the US - we have all had very bad experiences with them mechanically mine although only a couple of years old I had to trade in on my current BMW because the Timing Chain was about to go and it was way to young for that car to have that trouble I had spent over 15K on just general maintenance on it and my Ex he has been trying for over 6 months to sell his no one in Aus want them because they cost way too much to repair and they do have a lot of inherent dramas. My Daughter in law in the US has similar issues every time she goes to get a service it is the magic $1000 or more nothing but drama - sorry to say my current partner is a Boat and Car reseller and he always said stay well away from them they have so many mechanical issues. Sorry to burst your bubble but I really wish I had been told this prior to buying it because if I am honest it was one of the most comfortable beautiful cars to drive - I have had lots of BMW’s , Audi’s Lexus and other luxury cars and the Range Rover is on the top of the list for comfort but the absolute bottom for mechanical 😢 hope you dont mind me saying this 😅

[@Whoopsididitagainco]

I dont mind you saying at all hun. I really appreciate it. I’m just stuck between my heart and my head. I’ve always wanted one. It’s always been my dream car but always out of my reach. Now I may have the opportunity and no matter how many other cars I sit in it just doesn’t beat the Range Rover sport. I think I need to get it out my system. They sell really easy over here in the UK so I know if it goes to shit I definitely will be able to sell it. Especially the one I want as it’s the most sought after. Thanks so much for your advice though. I’m probably going to be messaging you on insta saying what have I done it’s broke already lol x

[@mrsfoxezplans-akatonifox1315]

@@Whoopsididitagainco I agree I wonder if you could maybe hire one but if I’m honest they are bloody beautyful cars and I think they are actually made in the UK so you guys might not have the issues we face getting parts etc so it may be a mute point for you. It was my holy grail too but I’m now into small cute cars cuz it’s only me so my little one series BMW is my Black Betty (that’s her name) and I love her 🤣

[@luckag862]

My personal opinion is that you should not introduce any new planners. You will feel better using up what you’ve already started. Sometimes, having too many options is the thing that makes the task insurmountable. Think about what you need and scale back to that. Need, not want. Need to function on a daily. Alternatively, and this is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, if you want to plan for KZbin, then make it a business commitment and think of it as more of a transaction, and less of something you do to keep you going functionally. I hope you feel better.

Periods can affect moods, lack of sleep

[@QueensNative]

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it… or if you’ve gone over it in any of your videos… but the quality is blurry. I love watching your videos but I can’t see most of what you’re doing which makes me sad! 😮‍💨

[@emilyb9386]

If you’re anything like me the biggest factor of your mood is where you are in your cycle. I tank every month after day 14 all the way through my cycle and then I have two productive weeks after it ends and the whole thing starts over again. I’m 41 and I think perimenopausal hormones are a bitch!

[@Whoopsididitagainco]

I really need to track my cycle in more detail I think. 🤔

[@emilyb9386]

@@Whoopsididitagainco it was a super huge eye opener for me realizing that it was like clockwork when I go down and come back up. So frustrating, but also makes me feel better knowing that there is a reason that I’m low and it’s kind of out of my control. If anything it was helped me give myself a bit more grace and made me mindful to not try and expect a days worth of tasks to get done during that time. I schedule in more rest time during those weeks and it has really helped me not feel so “bad” about myself.

[@mrsmoodle]

9:26 it sharpens up here when you zoom in if that's helpful x

[@KM-nq7hz]

Why are you torturing yourself? It seems like you need max two planners. You know what you like but you are testing things that you know won’t work for you. You said it yourself. Planning for KZbin not yourself and you aren’t in a planning season. So memory keep and symptom journal with a few to dos for the week. We all love you. Stop stressing. Enjoy your time with your kids and put pictures fucking everywhere if you want. Stop over complicating things.

[@iamaud]

I also LOVE the idea of memory planning. But for anxiety purposes I also loosely forward plan. Then at the end of the day or the week, I go back and fill in some things we did or add in some pictures. I can't handle more than one planner, so it all goes in one place. 🩷
