JANUARY PLANNING UPDATE | 23'

[@jonr6680]

Really enjoyed the personal anecdotes, remembering corded phones... scary how much has changed.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Aw, thanks;) The world has changed so much!

[@BestLaidPlansVideo]

I love hunter green - and the 90s! I welcome basically all 90s colors and aesthetics back :)

[@AmandasFavorites]

Yes! LOL! I love knowing you are on this train too Sarah:)

[@netsavy006]

I'm still in my Plum Paper Planner (vertical columns). The planner I am using ends in April and I've already purchased my next one to start in May (same layout). I use the columns to keep track of my schedule for each day.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I used that planner for several years before starting my channel. It's a great planner company and that layout is awesome:) Thanks for sharing!

[@netsavy006]

I worked in a paint / wallpaper store in the early 1990’s. You are so right - burgundy and hunter green everywhere!!!! Lol And waverly fabric!!!

[@AmandasFavorites]

LOL! I Love hearing that!

[@judyedwards7597]

In the 90's I chose a dark green Corian countertop for my kitchen...loved it!!! My Laurel Denise is also hunter green. I agree, it makes me happy! Great video; thanks for sharing!!! You always make me tempted to try Planner Perfect!

[@AmandasFavorites]

I love that you chose that counter Judy:) We just can't give up that hunter green! It also always reminds me of Home Alone with all the hunter green and burgundy decor;) And Planner Perfect is fun, but you will know if you have a use for it and really want to use it;)

[@patriciaweston27]

7:25: Amen Amanda, I've found that to be so true for me as well.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I had o go back and see what I said there;) Thank you Patricia for being here:) Big hug xxx.

[@HanCanPlan]

I love the Laurel Denise planner so much! The colors really are so fantastic.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Her colors this year are just so spot on for me:)

[@HanCanPlan]

Also - so true about birds! I was just thinking today that I’d like to go on a bird watching trip like my grandma did 😉😉

[@AmandasFavorites]

LOL! yes! I guess as we get older we need calm, and birds seem to do that for me;)

[@rachaelerin1]

Wow the difference a climate makes 😫 as someone who lives in the mid-Atlantic/northeast region, I would never ever ever say February is my favorite month! But you’re right, it is a cozy, hopeful time. Thank you for the personal planning video!

[@AmandasFavorites]

I hear ya! It really makes a difference where you live when choosing favorite months! LOL! Stay warm and cozy my friend;)

[@Sarahbear2000]

Love the more frequent personal planning updates! As for links, my preference would be for you to mention it at the beginning, put them all in the description, and then just go on with the video. Stopping with each item you talk about to say you have a link is distracting for me.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Thank you for that feedback Sarah! I will try that out in my next planner update video- it will be hard to get into this new habit...but I can see how that would be better for most viewers:)

[@debbiel8380]

Amanda, thank you for sharing your faith journey in this video. I needed to hear that because I am avoiding spending time with God by watching your video so now I am going to pause and return to your video. Thank you!

[@AmandasFavorites]

This makes me so happy Debbie:) We always put off things that are the best of us (including me). Starting is the hard part...then I have no trouble finishing the study session!

[@yellowladybug4010]

I got your Collab with Ashley Shelly, unsure of what to use it for. But I recently was called to teach Sunday School and will use the monthly planner to organize when and what I am teaching from Come Follow Me. I have the week sticky notes from Sprouted Planner (last year), I need to trim it, but that will be my study plan for the weeks I teach. I also got a New Testament journal for that. I am using the Sprouted academic planner, I got it in December so I waited to start in until January, I am not quite sure if its the right fit, but I am sticking with it for now. I also got 5 year journals for my two kiddos and started those in January. You inspire me to be a better, more intentional planner and journaler (not a word but...ya.) Thank you.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Aw, thank you for sharing with me:) I am so happy you found such a good use for the collab planner;) And five year journals for both your kiddos should get a gold star for this year for sure! I hope the Sprouted works out for you this year too;)

[@Motherofonly1]

Can you put the planner perfect inserts in the Erin condren petite folio for a better fit?

[@AmandasFavorites]

Yes I could:) But I love the PP leather feel and structure;) Thanks for watching and chiming in!

[@flyspotter4404]

Thanks, Amanda! Very inspirational! I have never been a very good planner and I am off to a rocky start again. But I continue on lol... Love, love, love the birds from Planner Perfect! On my way to get some! Have a great day!

[@AmandasFavorites]

No worries about a rocky start! Every day is rocky over here...seriously! Just do what works for you and throw all the "expectations" of how your page should look out the window;) Enjoy the birds- LOL!

[@charlottesfinds3043]

That Mary Engelbreit planner is so cute! Thanks for sharing that one. And also for the ways you’ve been using Planner Perfect books. I ebb and flow with daily scripting in them, and it’s nice to have ideas of alternative ways to use them. And I agree - the PP stickers are the best! Have a great February ❤

[@AmandasFavorites]

hey Charlotte:) I do love Planner Perfect:) And I change the way I use it a lot! But no matter how I use it her artwork brings me joy:) Happy February to you too!

[@christinavaughan1980]

My wedding was in 1996 and my accent color for forest green. I also had forest green in my room on my dresser and entertainment center.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I LOVE it!!!!! I got married in 98' and I had sage green...lol- I must have been off forest green by then. I can just picture the wedding and the dresser:)

[@christinavaughan1980]

@@AmandasFavorites My wedding dress was white but had forest green flowers made from tule on it.

[@UghUgh1234]

i wish the LD planner was in stock! :(

[@AmandasFavorites]

I am sorry! She will have an undated release this April!

[@lynnclemons5864]

I am so intrigued by the Laurel Denise planner,but it kind of throws me in that it looks like a sideways 8x10...is that how it is in person??

[@AmandasFavorites]

The page size is close to that measurement...so it is like that on it's side- yes. But somehow it works for me and many others;)

[@lynnclemons5864]

@@AmandasFavorites thank you!I'm definitely not disputing the function of it.Just more intrigued by the size and layout.Since they are all sold out I can think and try to use that size notebook sideways to see how I might like it!!!

[@gabbyclark2763]

Amanda, would you share the Etsy shop where you got the cute clip with the crocheted heart? Thank you!

[@AmandasFavorites]

I am sorry I forgot that! I will add it now:) and here it is: Madyson & Marie on Etsy: etsy.me/34jnjMG

[@jonr6680]

Regarding the links, they are appreciated, but for me at least on my phone they open in the browser not the yt app.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Oh, man! That is very annoying! Thanks for letting me know.

[@wardkristin]

I can’t remember- are you still using the JMB journal? Thank you so much for connecting me to,that?

[@AmandasFavorites]

I am not:) I am glad to hear you are loving it!
