My 1st video....Faux Filofax/Franklin Covey planner---part 2!!!

[@ThelmaThrift]

Awesome ideas. You're my new idol - LOL.

[@aggymints]

OMG!!! Brain Dump!!! Yessssss!!! Love it. Just love. Meal planning is great too. I used to have a huge teacher's calendar that I used to post up and used post its with ingredients that served as a reminder to add those things to the shopping list that we were making. I am most likely going to start that up again and your technique for your planner seems soooo handy! Especially for all those Pinterest recipes I wanna try! I like the contacts idea too. Can also use with business cards and such.

Hi Gina, I have been watching these 2 videos of yours forever, I keep playing it. Lol. I do have a Franklin Covey as well. You mentioned you will do a video for your home use... :) I hope we can see that! I'm looking forward to it. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Abigail

[@MegaDesignDiva]

All I can say is, "WOW!!!!!" this is an OUTSTANDING!!! set up if ever I have seen one. You did an awesome job. Hugs, Yolanda.

[@jessrissley3126]

Both of your videos were great! Kinda long but pack full of great ideas!! So excited to implement some of your ideas

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you for your very kind comments!! So glad to hear I inspired you....if you have any questions or if I can help you in any way, let me know :) I will definitely consider doing a video on my meal planning....thank again!!

[@allthatscrafty]

I almost turned your video part 1 off. I was looking at organizing craft rooms when your video came up. I am so happy I stayed with it. Love your planner and how you decorated it up! Super cute! I too am a homeschool mom.TFS Mary

[@craftclutter]

Love how you have set up your planner. Got me as wanting to visit a stationery shop to stock up!! One thing I need this year is a planner with a brain dump section - fantastic idea :)

[@kathycadile6421]

Saw both videos. Love them both. You have some great ideas. I like how you decorate the pages and have some inspirational messages as well. I am waiting for my new planner and can't wait to get started but I have to make sure to use it. I need to form good habits as Joyce Meyers would say. This is something I have to do to stay focused. I started a new business and I absolutely need to keep things in order and prioritize. You did a great job on the videos.

[@livelaughlove4635]

I love your planner! One of the best video (and part 1) that I have seen out there. I've been watching videos for months but this one of my favorites! Great ideas :)

[@ReneesCoffeeBreak]

Watched both planner vids and I like the way it's set up. I really liked the menu planner with one side for dinner and the other for lunches (we homeschool also). Thank you for sharing your planner :)

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you for your kind comments. I got my faith based stuff at various places...hard to explain what I got where-----so I will do a quick video on my faith based later today----hope that will help :)

[@trinity1261]

Wow!!! I love your planner and all your organization. You really inspired me to start mine over. I have always used planners, but this gives a whole different perspective on using them. I just learned about Filofax planners, but yours is much better organized and something I could use very easily. AWESOME, AWESONE job!!!!

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Yes, they are pretty long, but glad to hear it was worth it for you. Thank you for your comments!! Let me know if I can help in any way....

[@dmaynardabu]

I love it!!!! I cant wait to get my organizer back out and get it all set up and decorated!!!

[@MsSdonnyna]

Love it. I love the way you organize your planner

[@Krutschable]

[@G.d.I.am21]

I loved your videos of how you set up your planner. It inspired me to start one for myself with what I am already working with. I am like you I don't want to buy a Filofax just yet. Want to see how this works for me first. You are very creative and I am going to incorporate some of your ideas into my planner. Thanks for sharing.

[@stephaniedurham10]

I stumpled across your first video and had to see part 2! Great detail and ideas! Thanks for sharing! New subie here :)

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you so much----let me know if there are any questions I can answer or anything that I can do to help!!

[@ceeceemac9072]

I'll look forward to that! I came back and watched your 2-part videos again today. So many great tips here! Love the brain dump. Gonna use that one for sure.

[@30purplekisses]

you have one of the best, most thorough planner walk-through/ideas I've seen on youtube and I've been watching since last year. I was sitting here thinking I need to grab my pen and paper and take some notes. Thanks so much for sharing. Definitely a new subbie..looking forward to seeing more from you. :)

[@ElizabethS409]

I watched bot videos and took notes for ideas. I may come back and watch again just to refresh notes and add thing I missed. I enjoyed this, I think you did a great job!!

[@michelleherbert3623]

I love your videos!!!! Your planner is amazing and I got so many great ideas from you. Thanks.

[@micaela7126]

I love your planner and organization because I have much of the same items you do. I have completed some of the inserts that you wish to start and I will add/update some of the things you've shared. Love the review!

[@GTMom9306]

I agree with 30purplekisses Very Thorough! I think Im gonna have to watch this again so I can take some notes and put some of these GREAT ideas to use!!! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas! I would be interested in your meal planning and prep. I loved your meal section!!! ~Kim

[@LizSmisselizabeth2u]

Hi Gina! Great video. I'm slowly moving into my Filofax and have taken notes on your set up to incorporate into my own. TFS!

[@angelbabesuz1612]

great detail, you are very organised and I still love all those different washi tapes and card stock you have lovely things in your stores : ~~~ Susan

[@rainlyte2003]

great idea on using those month pads for meal lists. I have left overs from the kit I bought last year. Hadn't thought about sticking them back to back. New subscriber. Creative Blessings!

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Very glad my videos inspired and helped you with ideas....let me know if I can help you in any way :)

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you!! I really love the layered look also. I am glad that you were able to gain some inspiration from my videos!!

[@janiemelgoza166]

2016 just now saw your videos and I love all your. items,filofax and set up. Thanks for sharing. I will use your ideas.!!! love it all.

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@mkroberts77]

Love that you homescool! We do too! I really love your videos. I have written down many things to use in my planner. I should receive it within the next week or so but want to be prepared. Especially since we start school soon.

[@BlueNoodle79]

I love that you're so detailed in your vids. Oh, and you have very pretty nails :o)

[@KatLeNoir]

I looove ur planner set up, I went thru like 25 Filofaxes and finally determined that FC classic works for me. (I do use pocket or mini ffs tho as a wallet) anyways I subbed, ur vids are awesome and inspirational. :)

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

So glad to hear all of the positive comments....thank you!! Looking forward to checking out your videos also :)

[@makemyday34]

I just stumbled upon this video and I want you to know that because of this I want to make one of these! I need to go and get all the cute stuff from target and Michaels now! I'm only 18 and I'm going to make one very soon and especially once I'm older with a family this will definitely be a necessity.

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Funny you should ask about the colored paper....I got it at either Office Depot or Office Max, however, I have been trying to fine it to buy another package and cannot seem to find it----I started to doubt myself as to where I had gotten at-----but I am sure I got it at either of those places. I guess I might look online to see about ordering it because I do really like it. Thanks...

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you---I also LOVE my brain dump section :) I will be working on doing a meal planning video!!

[@elena911000]

Your filofax is awesome! I love your creativity as well as how you explain every detail. My question is: how do you make the holes for the dividers that you have created it? Please, let me know if you have a special hole puncher.

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you!! I purchased a Franklin Covey 7-hole punch off of Ebay, very heavy duty for about $20.

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you so much!! Glad to hear you got some ideas from me....let me know if I can help :)

[@ceeceemac9072]

Where do you get the faith based washi tape and the cross stickers? I've never come across those but love the idea. Thanks for sharing your planner! Several things here I plan to use. God bless.

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

I am just using an Elmer glue stick. I have had no trouble with it staying stuck. Thanks!

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

That's great!! Never too early to start being organized!! Good luck and let me know if there is anything I can do to help you :)

[@30purplekisses]

oh and right away, I'm implementing the brain dump section as I type! Brilliant idea!

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you so much!! I am very glad that I have inspired you....let me know if I can be of any help to you :)

[@cmhardim4]

Thank you so much this was very informative...and I love the brain dump I am going to copy that...

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Glad you hear that you got some ideas, let me know if I can be of any help :)

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

That is awesome!! We love homeschool---it is a perfect fit for us :) I am glad that you were able to get inspired....let me know if I can help in any way!!

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Borrow any and all that you want....very glad I was an inspiration!!

[@kimreason9286]

What type of glue are you using? Great part 2; thanks!

[@calisongbird]

I would love to know what brand/color of nude nail polish you used underneath the white tips. 😬 Awesome French mani.

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you...look forward to seeing your video :)

[@huereviews]

Lol. I like your quote. I do that too.

[@cecilly59]

Where did you get the colored filler paper? It's awesome.

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

I definitely LOVE my brain dump section!! Glad you like it :)

[@beautifulpinkqueen]

hi I love ur brain dump section lol I have a section similar to urs but mine is called dreams/ideas I truly enjoyed watching u gave me some ideas for my planner I wanna try n plan my meals too but I just find it so hard to do so do u have any ideas or suggestions that I can try n do

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Currently, I only have from June to December in my planner, partly that is because I've only had this planner since late May. I will probably only keep about 6 months at a time in there, that way I have enough ahead that I can write specific events that are coming up and then probably about a month past so I can look back on anything if I need to----but then I will continue to keep the previous months in a file. Did that make sense, lol?!?!

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you!!

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Honestly, I can't remember. I believe it was either Office Depot or Office Max. I need some more and cannot for the life of me find it in any store and don't remember for sure where I purchased it at. Sorry...

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Just got it uploaded :)

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you....I do love my brain dump section :)

[@reginabasug143]

That's what I started on before I got my filofax.

[@annawoodside6880]

I think this video is old and I have not yet read all of the comments, but a couple of questions. What are the measurements of your planner? Also, I know the washi tape can work as a hole reinforcement as well as decoration. How do you punch your holes? Have you found that non FC inserts or accessories (per-punched) fit with your planner?

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you very much!!

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

Thank you!!
