Setting Up My New Erin Condren A5 Colorblends Planner!

[@HeartBreathings]

Update: The new LifePlanner collection is live early!!! Here's a link: shrsl.com/3hs0e Have fun!

[@mrsdudeandkids]

Love watching you set up your A5. I just use retail/off the shelf stuff these days, but it's fun to watch other people get excited by new releases.

[@cocop5058]

Bought a gorgeous Bloom Metallic vertical planner with rose gold coil for 2023 and I’m so happy with it. Hoping they add an A5 monthly planner to the collection. Thanks for the videos and product info!

[@HeartBreathings]

I'm so excited for tomorrow's launch! If you have any questions let me know! Even if you aren't purchasing a new planner, I hope you enjoy this new setup video.

[@karibear91]

Yay! Thanks to you, I began planning in A5 rings. I enjoying experimenting with different inserts (Woot, HB90!) and decor for productivity and inspiration, AND I spend less time and money switching planners. I’ll probably mix in a few EC things for my next set up-leaning towards floral or neutral harmony dailies. Thank you for sharing your set up.💖

[@CM-fo2he]

Wow those ideas are awesome. I don't use the weekly pages at all in my planner so thanks for sharing.

[@joellalukehart3978]

Very cool. I like the list idea and the check off. Lists run my life. Love the colored pieces of paper with the gold on it. That's what I'm gonna get.

[@HeartBreathings]

I love the metallic accents on it. I think I"m going to pick up the metallic cover, because it's just lovely! *lists run my life, haha. I feel this!

[@jenniferadam2258]

I always love your videos. You inspire me, motivate me, and entertain me and I just want you to know how much I appreciate your work. Also, that washi card idea is BRILLIANT. 🤩

[@cate5029]

I love how effortlessly you put this together. It is so pretty and colorful 💖💙💜💚❤️

[@beccaplans]

Omg! That pompom with purple, turquoise and pink reminds me of Taylor Swift's outfit for her "You Need To Calm Down" music video. I LOVE it!

[@marthapenningtonart]

I really want this because it’s so pretty. I’m considering using it as a plotting notebook. It might be too small though. I have one already, but it’s a Happy Planner Big binder and a lot to lug around. It would make the carry around easier. Of course, I might be rationalizing my need for the shiny new stuff lol. :P

[@GraphxxGrrrl]

Love the 22:00 mark where you modify the pages to make your publishing plan checklists. Great idea!

[@KaceyEzellWriterLife]

So, between wanting to try the HB90 system and this beautiful EC Colorblends A5 Agenda, I've decided to make the switch from the 7x9 daily to the A5 Agenda daily. With that being said, I would LOVE to see a video about how you store/organize your extra A5 inserts and supplies when you're not using them for the current month's planner. Obviously, this is something that can wait until you have your office space all set up and ready to share... because I'm pretty sure we'd all love to see that too! Great video, thanks as always!

[@HeartBreathings]

Good idea! Thank you!

[@jilliancastle4885]

I am loving the compact vertical! Order the harmony one today in A5. I have a 7x9 right now that is just too big for daily use for me.

[@kwalton7690]

I'm in Texas too (same as EC HQ) so hoping the sale is on CT time :) Looking forward to getting the color blends A5 binder and horizontal layouts. LOVE your inserts!!

[@HeartBreathings]

Looks like they are live already!

[@ghostyplans]

I MAJORLY want an a5 binder. 😮‍💨 But can’t get it yet. So I’m living vicariously.

[@rhbrand1]

I so want this! Its so pretty which is so inspiring. And I've been just kind of "eh" with some of my planners so maybe switching it up will be a good thing

[@emielou]

I love the colourblends, I just wish it was cheaper shipping to the UK. I am definitely going to have yo try and get an agenda though.

[@kristyl6201]

Love your set up and inserts. Not sure if I will be buying anything tomorrow on the New EC release in the process of redoing the bathroom. So I might end up waiting until I get more funds. Thank you for sharing Sarra ❤

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you Kristy!

[@karenvigmostad4013]

This was such a lovely video and inspired me to try this a5 ring agenda system. I’m an Insider so got the freebies too. I ordered subtle colors to avoid distractions. Binder in Champagne with Harmony Neutral weekly inserts for 18 months. Excited to also order the EttaVee dashboard and sticky note booklet plus habit tracker paper tape. And that’s it. I’m really fussy about pens and stick to a couple of my favorites (I use fountain pens and Parkoo erasables). I don’t decorate athough I might draw a little tiny flower now and then and fill it in with pink marker. I’m going to use this new binder system for my equivalent of your six month project. You inspired me to focus on getting back to my island book that’s been languishing because I had detached retina eye surgery 11 weeks ago and I’m still seeing double. But I’m just gonna get back at it, close one eye and here I go! Glad you’re enjoying your new home and garden and you are protecting it.

[@laineybugger]

I hope they come out with all the accessories for Colorblends! I ordered the A5 Compact Vertical

[@joellalukehart3978]

Ive been waiting for this. Thank you!

[@HeartBreathings]

You're so welcome! For some reason Copyright checks took like an hour! Whew!

[@AMG_Creates]

I'm sure you've had people tell you this already, there is an Erin Condren store here in Austin, so maybe 2 hours away from you. It's be a fun day trip. I went there a little after the grand opening and it was nice to walk around and physically see stuff before I bought it.

[@HeartBreathings]

I definitely have it on my list to visit when I get a chance. Actually, it would be super fun to try to go soon with all the new accessories and planners launching!!!

[@50hats77]

Can you do a video about the vendors you use and how you use them

[@HeartBreathings]

I actually cover this very topic in my course Publish & Thrive! If you'd like more info, feel free to email me [e-mail]

[@messyandbeautiful]

This was good fun to watch, love your planning videos. I am dying to get that colour blend agenda but not sure I need another planner. I’d love to know what you do with all your old planners and inserts? Do you keep or chuck?! It’s hard to know when they build up over the years (particularly with multiple planners!) and so much time and energy has gone into decorating them.

[@SDHegyes]

I don't need another planner... However, I recently signed up for a Stickii sticker subscription, and I need a way to keep the stickers I get, and that ColorBlends A5 ringed agenda looks PERFECT for that. I might have to order it just to get that. I love the colors!

[@mariahsmall487]

Stunning set up!!! Where are those plastic type dividers from? I’m slowing budgeting my way to getting a ring planner and those would be awesome to separate quarters 💜

[@tinat3073]

Thank you for the video. I am wondering how the planner feels to the touch? Is it stiff?

[@purpl3lina]

I got the same one,but in horizontal!

[@lovevideos93]

I bought this same one.i tried yo put the full year in it only to have the rings open up.i am wondering if you could tell me what the size are for the rings.is it 19,25,or 30mm?thanks for your help.

[@HeartBreathings]

They are 1.25 inches. I'm not sure what that translates to but I'm sure Google can tell you. It's the most common ring size.I don't think there are many rings that can fit a full year of monthly and weekly pages with tabs and such. I only do one month at a time for mine, so you might consider trying to put less in!

[@lovevideos93]

@@HeartBreathings I have a van der speck in the Janet leather A5 with 35mm.that one actually does but the reason I asked about this one is I got the hourly one and just wanted to see if the planner was defective or if it just was a bit smaller than what I thought.i believe the 1.5 is the 35mm but not 100 %sure.thanks for your help.

[@BookishScribe]

Is it smooth vegan leather all through the inside of the agenda or is there the fuzzy bits around the rings and under the bit by the pen loop similar to the midcentury circles agenda last year? I am forever using a lint roller to pick up cat hair from the fuzzy section.

[@lidiag6695]

Hola! Why don't you put some washi on that white line? (min 18:30) Can look realy nice.

[@joycie702]

Love it! Thank you so much for sharing

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you for being here!

[@katsmith8263]

Cool

[@stephaniehurst3612]

How do you print the hb90 as an a5 insert??

[@nikkiguerlain]

💗💗💗

[@susiekidd9183]

I’m confused as to why EC would use white inside the gorgeous new Color Blends ring agenda.

[@HeartBreathings]

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it's because the inserts are so bright?

[@CM-fo2he]

I think the inside is neutral to not be distracting as people write in it.

[@perstephanies]

I'm feeling less inspired by this kind of video. I guess these days I'm more interested in using what I have rather than always setting up another new notebook.

[@HeartBreathings]

Probably 80% of what I used in this video was stuff I already had! No need to keep setting up new notebooks, but I find that switching things up every month allows me to use more of my stash than just using the same thing over and over.

[@susiekidd9183]

Shop your stash, as they say. 😆
