New Happy Planner Horizontal Layout Review & Plan With Me Part 1 | Will I Use It In 2025 Setup?

[@KenyaPatterson]

Thank you so much for watching Bestie! Did the tutorial on zone planning help? Share with me your thoughts 💜

[@thenubianreview]

I liked it, I was curious about what a creative layout would look like, and I definitely liked the zones.

[@KenyaPatterson]

Awesome!!! So glad I could share Bestie!!! Thank you for watching 💜💜💜

Thanks for this! I do wish that they had just introduced a new "horizontal checklist layout" so we could decide, but I did buy a new horizontal for my scripture journaling. I figure I can write down the daily devotionals on the checklist and then journal my prayers and praises

[@KenyaPatterson]

Yes! It was make this choice so much easier. I can see the benefit of the checklist, but I don't think I want to plan like that every week..... 🙃

[@Klaudichu]

this was very helpful! I got the exact planner for next year because I loved the fact it has a checklist. Right now I'm using a vertical so I needed some ideas for decorating the new horizontal!

[@KenyaPatterson]

Yay!!! That makes me so happy that I could help!!! Stay tuned for Part 2 because I plan a little different for that one.😁💜 Thanks for watching!

[@Klaudichu]

@@KenyaPatterson yesss looking forward to it 😍

[@back2basicswithemily784]

Girl I commend you on trying out this layout. But I have been watching you for a long time and I can tell your creative eye is clouded. I have my 2025 planner, and if happyplanner don't change back for 2026, I'm out! But I will forever watch your content. ❤

[@KenyaPatterson]

Aww thank you Bestie! I can definitely say I felt limited and I love the original horizontal because I feel free using it..I think this exact feeling is why I don't like using the vertical for my everyday plans. I have a 2025 planner and an undated one as well🙌🏾

[@LegendsOfLavellsTemple]

Thank you so much for this! I had left horizontal to explore other layouts this year, and decided horizontal was what I wanted to return to in 2025. I was concerned how this would work for me, but you made this look doable! I'm not so bummed!!

[@KenyaPatterson]

Awwww yay!!! So glad I could help! I had to try it out for us Bestie💜💜💜

[@daniellemoseley6007]

My biggest struggle is stickering outside the lines!! Cute spread

[@carolinatabor3811]

Thank you so much for your analysis of the new horizontal design it’s not only a positive view but also a practical solution on how to see the page. I learned something today 😊

[@KenyaPatterson]

Yay!!!! So glad I could share Bestie 💜😀 Thank you for watching 😘

[@marylynmiller5158]

Thanks for explaining the zones. I learned something new today!

[@KenyaPatterson]

Awww yay! So glad I could share 💜💜💜

[@jurienafrans3328]

Hallo, thank you so much for this video. Normally I divided it in the 3 sections since I begin whit decorating planning in 2016. I saw a video of an other planner lady, you did it good aswel. I think this is the best way to use it. Ofcours you can cover the list whit stickers too I think😊❤😊

[@lildea06]

I'm trying the horizontal for next year. I usually use the dashboard layout. I wanted more writing space. I like how you did the zones. I tried the hourly at the beginning of the year and couldn't do it. Went back to the dashboard. Hopefully, I can flow with the horizontal.

[@cindiatkins6729]

I am loving this new layout. I stopped using it and went to the vertical check list and now I am back in my horizontal. I love the way my layout turned out for this week. Please do layouts with this layout I so look forward to them.

[@KenyaPatterson]

Yes! I knew it would work for some of my Besties which is why I had to not knock it until I tried it... Thank you for sharing your thoughts and encouragement 💜

[@FactorCast]

Hello Bestie ... the layout is good. Different format, but I like it. I may get my horizontal planner. Thanks for creating it.

[@KenyaPatterson]

My pleasure Bestie! I appreciate you for watching and I am so glad it was helpful 😁💜

[@FactorCast]

@KenyaPatterson We will broadcast our own q&a this Saturday at 1pm ect. We hope you can join us. We would love to collaborate with your channel

[@KenyaPatterson]

@FactorCast Oh you and Trenton be having a good time 🤗 I will see if I can. I do have a family event around that time though, but if things change, I gotta check y'all out 💜

[@TheBellastella]

Good job on making the new layout work. Looking forward to seeing part 2 😊

[@KenyaPatterson]

Thank you Bestie!!! It's up now, so let me know what you think of that spread💜

[@tandra001]

I love your positivity. Unfortunately this change marks the end of an era for me 😥. I went from using exclusively Happy Planner products to just using their horizontal layout. I have no desire to make this new layout "work". Thankfully, i was able to get a 18 month horizontal on the old layout. I have a year to find someone that offers the old layout.

[@back2basicswithemily784]

I'm in the same boat as you ❤

[@KenyaPatterson]

Honestly, I get all the feels Bestie! My initial reaction was like 😲🤯😢😫😭. But I figured as a horizontal lover, I just had to try it and I better do it quick😂. I do see the benefit for some, but like I said... I wish they offered both. I have some backups that will last me for a bit. So before I run out, I hope they add the old one back🙏🏾

[@KenyaPatterson]

We are in this together 💪🏾💜

[@heidifrazier7689]

Oh my goodness!! I am so glad you did this video! I was behind and not paying attention to what HP had done for the new release. I'm going to be on the hunt for the older horizontals so I can re-date them. Not a fan of the new layout. 😢

[@brendawilliamson6746]

Just joined you! Love that you’re using the horizontal layout and I appreciate your helpful ideas.❤. You helped me use this layout more efficiently and I’ll keep checking you out girl!😊

[@jillapalooza]

This is the first time a horizontal planner has appealed to me. But I'm also not as creative with decorating. This would be perfect for those of us who just use a pen and write stuff down. 😂

[@peggybressers1888]

This is realy helpfull

[@KenyaPatterson]

Yay! So glad I could help. Thank you so much for watching 💜

[@realmichellemartin]

I’ve been debating on staying in a horizontal layout. I think they are trying to be similar to the EC horizontal planner. I do think I will still try it for next year and take some inspiration from EC users as well. I can’t live without a horizontal planner. 😂

[@KenyaPatterson]

Girl I feel you! I can't live without one either.... I feel I can decorate in any layout, but it's the joy and freedom of creativity that drives me too.... #plannerpeace😌

[@shegivesglory8430]

I'm using vertical checklist this year, and I'm super excited to try this new layout. I love checklists 😊

[@arlenegregchin998]

You did it Gurl 😂!! You met that sticker challenge 😊!! It’s all your positivity and positive spirit!! So proud of you 👍🏾!! Arlene

[@cmarie6962]

Bestie when you said "this sticker got me messed up if it thinks Im not about to use it...."😂😂😂😂😂.❤

[@lesliebarney7091]

Thank you so much for showing how to decorate a horizontal layout. I struggle decorating any type of layout and never understood what to put where. If you have anymore videos that show the difference processes would you direct me to them or if you know another YT channel than can help me. Thanks and I look forward to part 2. 😃🥰

[@KenyaPatterson]

Awww yes! So glad I could help. What layout do you currently use or would love to use and I can see how I can help you more💜?

[@karenfavers2317]

Thank you for showing the horizontal planner. I just received a 2025 planner (have typically used a horizontal layout from another company). What is the brand of tweezers you use.

[@KenyaPatterson]

My pleasure! I am using the Kell of A Plan ones💜

[@cack121]

I use my horizontal for journaling so this "change" rendered the horizontal absolutely useless to me. I had no choice but to purchase inserts from a small shop. Going forward, I will have to support the small shop. Oh well...I am thankful I found another option.

[@KenyaPatterson]

Awwww yes you are right.... It is perfect for journaling and now that goes away. So sorry Bestie 😞 Please share what you decide to use in the future. I know some people that used to sell this layout, but I gotta check to see if they still do.

[@tecaragonzalez5653]

I feel like if you are someone who like the horizontal it’s because of the line space. It would be so easy for someone to just add dot stickers or check list to their own planner and not change the whole layout for everyone.

[@KenyaPatterson]

I know 😫 I had the feels about this.... and yes you are right... I love the lines! Hopefully, they will hear our cry and offer both, but if not there are some small shops that have the original.

[@kerrirobinson9886]

Hey Sis can you please tell me the name of the Sticker book? Thanks

[@KenyaPatterson]

Hey Bestie! It's called Canyon Modern. There's a link in the description if you need it💜.

[@kerrirobinson9886]

@KenyaPatterson Thanks

[@michelleisplanning]

❤❤

[@KenyaPatterson]

Thank you for the love Bestie!💜

[@butterflies015]

They should have made it horizontal all the way across. And the notes box broken down to four horizontal check boxes.

[@thenubianreview]

Don't forget to cover the month, otherwise is lovely

[@KenyaPatterson]

Yes I did it after I finished both of the spreads and forgot to do it on camera ! Thank you Bestie!!!💜💜💜

[@TheBlakeknee]

I am not a fan of the way they redesigned the horizontal, I very much prefer the old horizontal design. If I want a checklist, I can draw it myself because I do not need one every single day. Now I have to coverup the boxes with whiteout for the checklist on the majority of my days. I really, really, wish someone designed and created a book for senior citizens because we do not need the structure in the way that younger folks like.

[@KenyaPatterson]

I agree! Please tell me more about what the planner needs are for seniors? I would love to help or guide you to one that may work if I could.

[@thenubianreview]

"This sticker got me messed up if it thinks I'm not gonna use it on this page!"

[@KenyaPatterson]

😂😂😂 and I meant what I said !!!
