📖 Midyear Planner Lineup 2023 ✨ What Will I Be Changing?

[@HeartBreathings]

Woohoo, thanks so much for watching! Love talking about planners, so I hope you enjoyed this one!

[@annelyle5474]

In case you weren't aware, Sterling Ink planners are on preorder now, and the preorder period ends on July 9th so you don't have much time to decide! (I've already preordered mine)

[@laurlovesliterature]

stationary makes my brain happy

[@blackmirrorprisoners]

people will get upset about anything! personally your planner videos are a comfort watch for me, and i’m binging them right now

[@beccaplans]

I was overwhelmed today and just saw you posted and clicked right away. Then you're wearing bright pink everything and made me smile. I love pink! Just that simple thing made a difference in my mood. ❤

[@c.e.higgins2609]

I love how you tried new ways to plan only to realize they didnt work as well. Finding what works and doesnt is something I have been doing too. Good luck!

[@knottyneedle]

I am loving this 'reset' time. It has gotten me inspired.

[@jeanelarson]

Ooh, I like the Take Note planner! Neat!

[@msmwriter]

I don't have a very busy life now since my kids are grown, and I'm not married. So, all these planners/notebooks, and what to do with them?! You have given me some great ideas. I too have a bunch of classes I purchased/received for free which I've never completed. Something I need to start going through, and using the tools I have for that process. Thanks for another great video. I showed my mom and my sister your stack of planners on Instagram. They said, "She's just like you!" lol That's a compliment in my book. 💜

[@HeartBreathings]

Oh I love that!!

[@msmwriter]

@@HeartBreathings🥰

[@kellyrees4619]

I got nervous when you started working with digital planning, ha! I am so glad to see a stack of planners:) Thanks, Sarra!

[@marylundholm]

I’m just beginning to plan with a planner. This month I’m tracking my progress so I know how much I’m getting done. I don’t want to make goals that I can’t meet. That would be depressing. You inspire me to get myself together and to stay positive. Thanks so much. You are also so generous with your give aways

[@elsablanchard3297]

love that shirt! ❤

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you!

[@woodlandlady7011]

Midyear planner line up, I needed this! Without your planner videos, my life would be more of a chaotic mess than it always is.

[@nonopeno9214]

That teal planner is gorgeous!

[@stephanief.6224]

Thanks for sharing these beautiful planners

[@richards512]

Cute shirt! And as always, great video.

[@kellyfaysash8854]

Love all this esp your frankenplanner lol!

[@Bran_Dy6]

Appreciated this video. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@jenalang6065]

I’m obsessed with your rainbow coil!! 😍💜

[@bbodalski]

Yes! 🙌 use all the things that works for us with joy! I’m returning to the class room so I’ve jumped into all the new things…composition size Staology as a teacher bujo…EC hourly with the gorgeous new coil as homebase…and I’m coming up with many more ideas from your video!

[@jenller]

Yay mid year, an opportunity to organize myself, again, this time for real!

[@karenreneemarshall2006]

The inspire planner and iridescent coil. Fabulous

[@jeanneadams3062]

Really looking forward to the life binder set-up! I really love that you switch things up and "make it okay" that sometimes things sound great and we try them and they don't work out. Grins. I use your HB90 - it saved my sanity! - but I do it in a bujo kind of format which allows me to create/craft/sticker to my heart's content. Ha! Just setting up July as I listened to your vid. I really love the idea of the multiples in a traveler's notebook, but haven't tried that yet... (notice I said 'yet') Thanks for all you do!

[@olivialeann7963]

Yeesss. Love your planner videos. I got a promotional notebook from my doctor and I love filling it up with plotideas.

[@mrandisg]

Yesterday I bought two Franklin Covey ring binders from my bestie. They're both pink! I turned the compact (personal) size into my wallet, which I love because it has so many card pockets! Still thinking of ways that I could use the Classic (A5?) size. It's a 7-ring instead of a 6-ring, but I figure I can punch an extra hole and make things fit lol. Ironically, I ended up looking on Etsy today and ran across the HB90 planners! I was sooo tempted, but I've got to watch what I spend, especially since the end of the semester is coming up and I'll have a two-week break from work. But maybe next paycheck...we'll see! lol

[@annahlaineco]

Ah thank you so much for this! I'm a complete newbie with planners, wrapping my head around rings or no rings, covers and best sizes for a journal and planner combined. Probably a traveler's cover? YAY for the giveaway happy to see who won

[@SIMulatedSara]

I preordered 2 Sterling Ink planners for next year; the A5 compact full year, and the passport compact horizontal full year. I plan on using the A5 as my catchall, and the passport as a memory keeper. The thought of the 5 year Hobo, like you have, was too overwhelming. And I have until January to decide if I want to use it as something else! Congrats on sticking to your habit tracker! I've stuck with mine all year so far too, and I'm very excited about it! Your Common Planner is gorgeous, I love how full it is, because that means it's been serving you! Pretty sure your sparkly star cover is from Salty Katie, I have it in the dashboard she released this spring and I love it! I would love, love, LOVE to see a printed version of the HB90 planner. I took the course for the first time last week.

[@HeartBreathings]

I was thinking it was probably salty Katie but she also usually has her name on the back so I wasn't sure.

[@inawertzberger2580]

OMGosh! Halfway into this fabulous video I decided I needed Sterling Ink’s Passport horizontal compact besides A5 full year compact which I knew I wanted from the start. (Oh I hope there will be enough pages … !). I am a vertical planner but think the horizontal Passport will be excellent for gratitude, faith, contemplative journaling. Thank you for your helpful to me, comment!

[@inawertzberger2580]

Sarra, completely enjoyed and learned much from this video. Thank you! I now have noted the need for a Home/Life/Auto admin notebook/planner. I already have a “WHEN LAST DID I?” page in my current planner. Would be worthwhile to expand this information into its own planner/notebook. Thank you so much for this very informative video. Love, love, love the subject of planners! Thank you!

[@beccaplans]

Wow! That teal/blue notebook would make a perfect diary! I can't wait for your setup videos! ❤

[@dinahgt]

That give-away is my favorite color!

[@greeneyelia]

Love this video, as always! I have a Clever Fox Self are Journal coming my way--it's been a stressful couple of months, so I could do with a bit of a reset to get myself back into the swing of things. I also bought one of their Reading Journals, they're so pretty! Completely unrelated, but I'd love for you to do a video on how you use the tarot! If you don't like orange, probably best to avoid the Netherlands on King's Day, LOL. Orange is like our national color 😊

[@mariajromaley]

Hi ! Don't worry about what think people. The important is to be happy with your stuff. Hope to win one day and kisses from France !

[@PorschaWrites]

That blouse is so pretty! I just did a pen test in my new organized by Happy planner planner. The paper is so good to be the 'affordable' line.

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you!!! Ooh, I'm so glad to hear the paper is nice!

[@SilverPixieGirl]

Your last few videos helped me create productivity planners to get my writing back on track. I have an actual print date set this book and I am getting ready to write my third book!

[@luisaah5707]

I use a small monthly planner to track my writing. That helped to track my progress. I will use one next year for my PhD thesis and writing planner.

[@thedoover6520]

I like the size of the give-a-way planner. I would use it to summarize movies and books. I also like keeping track of poignant lines from books and movies

[@ubwrites5751]

Loved this. I started looking at EC as an add on after finalizing basics of my mid year add ons, which include hobo a6. I use cousin as a catch all for time tracking and work and happy planner Frankenplan for list dump and projects organized by domain: house, meals, etc. I m adding in notebooks to better organize things that get lumped together in one journal so I can find things and also be more intentional . I'm gearing up writing agAin and need something other than a large disc bound to track writing across multiple spectrums like fiction, non fic, and professional for nursing, too. I found 2 years specific planner tracking for health in hobo weeks worked great so I agree, like with your content strategy etc sometimes you need specific dedicated analog spaces for this activity to live. I keep a dedicated large rings just for a meditation music you tube channel to work things out. Game changer! your EC review was especially helpful!!!! That might me my next addition to fill that write tracking gap. Thank you for these videos I binge them and take ideas and inspiration from them.

[@susanbuckminster282]

Thank you!

[@shannonmoreau2531]

I love the Etta Vee designs on EC - I always end up picking those covers!

[@lilyanlytle623]

I aspire to be as organized as you are!

[@TraycL]

Love that teal cover! So many great planner options. 🩷💜

[@littleraven1600]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your time sharing your journey. Love it ❤. So exciting!

[@elizalagonia1049]

My planning is doing pretty well. The only thing that I kind of left behind was the meal planning, but I want to get back to it. I've thought about making my own meal planner and trying to just print one for me because I'm not really liking the set up. It's functional and it's fine, but I'm not clicking with it. Something that I can print at the beginning of every month and just keep track of.

[@christinaayala5993]

Yay for mid-year planner line up! I tried going all digital in the beginning of the year and I think I lasted 3 days before I ordered my typical Manifestation Annual planner 😂. I’m using that along with my daily passion planner. I also just used the HB 90 goal planner for the first time and omg it was so good! I can’t wait to see how Q3 turns out since I used it. Also, I love seeing your frankenplanners. I’m a super visual, out of sight out of mind person and need all the help from physical tools I can get

[@nikkijoy597]

Gorgeous planners! I wish there was an Erin Condren store here in the UK... 🥰

[@lmyoung94]

I use an academic diary for a lot of my planning, normally a weekly spread. September 22- July 23. Only I find the boxes for the weekend are half size for each day, and sometimes I need to write more.😮 For July, I am swapping up my weekly to a daily diary ( a page a day. It is still an academic year. It's a little more chunky and hopefully durable.😅 And this one even came with its own pen.🤗

[@christinenazareth4684]

I've been using an EC A5 Daily & a Frankenplanned HP pretty religiously. But that Poketo looks SO tempting!!! lol

[@mizzkain]

Loved the video! I’m using a blend of HB90 in my EC A5 planner. I’m not sure I like the rings, but 🤷‍♀️ ya gotta try new things sometimes in order to know what you like. I get so many ideas from you! Thanks!!!❤

[@JimmieHammel]

Ive been using a bullet journal spread to track my time, filling in a colored circle based on the number of sprints i did that day. It ends up looking like a heat map, and i love it. I might implement that same system for tracking other things like cleaning, word counts, planning, etc.

[@tammydavis770]

You gave me some good ideas, and I also plan to get that Hello Kitty planner since I love all things Hello Kitty

[@tanyaatmomssmallvictories9687]

I love what you did to frankenplanner the inspire tabs with the canvas monthly and weekly! I’m trying to stick to one book for personal (EC daily duo a6) and one book for work (wonderland 222 a5) for the next 6 months. Wish me luck! Love seeing all your creativity and inspo!❤❤

[@KJM_Writes]

Sooooooo many planners… I LOVE IT! 😁 You having lots of planners helps me to think about the different tools that I can use for different areas of my life, so I find it super helpful. The haters can go hate elsewhere! 😜

[@jaimejofreeman3544]

Love your notebook videos!! ❤❤❤

[@augustinaiturra8037]

🎉 Happy midyear!

[@dreamplanwrite]

Yay! Was so happy to see this posted! Happy midyear planner time!! ❤️😁📔

[@teamsarra9380]

YAY FOR PLANNERS!!!

[@dreamplanwrite]

🤌🏻🎉💃🏻

[@BrekkeEl]

Those are so fun! I need to finally get my HB90 A5 printed & ready to go.

[@sophiaisabelle027]

We will always support this channel. They're the best at what they do.

[@WriterXanne]

I also have a great nighttime routine with the 5 year Hobonichi! Maybe I should add another planner in to do at the same time!

[@patriciaweston27]

Loved this video and seeing your planning ideas Sara! I must thank you for giving me the courage to Frankenplan my EC this year and to not worry if it doesn't work out (so far, so good!). Also, your book cover art is soooo stunning and looks amazing with that coil🤩

[@janalewis3030]

I love back to school season! I start back this fall, too - getting a MS in Publishing! I love looking at the EC stuff but haven't jumped into purchasing. I never seem to be able to stick with a print calendar, even though I really want to, so I can't justify the price. Sigh! Maybe that will change soon!

[@bethgildersleeve3643]

Love your creative ideas! Thanks and keep sharing!!

[@madcrowcrafts]

Always so excited for your planner videos! They are super inspiring and have gotten me into planning and actually using my notebooks and enjoying my stationery for these past three years. I am especially excited for July as I got a new academic planner for this next school year, even though I already had a cheap 2023 planner, as this is my last year for my mechanical engineering bachelors and I wanted a witchier cover to bring me more joy and encourage me to use my planner better. I'm gonna be 33 in February but better late than never!

[@PinkHawk191]

I just started Vengeful Darkness. It's so good so far. Your books help me so much to escape to another world. It helps distract me from not feeling well with my chronic illnesses and chronic pain. It also helps to distract me during a rough day with my mental health. Thank you so much for your books! I did start a journal for my mental health which has really helped me.I will be getting a new planner this weekend when I get on Amazon.

[@oshun5880]

Love your videos. They’re so detailed. It makes me think I can actually stick with a planner and follow through

[@gmabostic]

Love this detailed look at the tools you’re using and why! I’m halfway through the year in my MäksēLife digital planner and now I’m adding your HB90 planner to the mix! ❤❤❤

[@storiesnstoneware]

I use notion for my books I am writing and to keep track of my pottery collections. I also use an A5 ring binder for my Dungeons &Dragons note taking and I am tempted to switch to an A5 ring notebook for monthly planning of my pottery & writing projects and biz

[@dianawelch399]

🎉 I just got my first ever HB90 system set up to start in July and I am so excited! Thank you for inspiring me to get back on track with my writing! I've been setting some limits and getting refocused so I can finish editing my book, and now I have a cool new planner to motivate me to keep moving!🎉🎉

[@jeanneadams3062]

It''s so great! you're going to love it!

[@candaceuncontained4455]

I'm always so intrigued by the courses that you're working on. I know you've mentioned the Manifestation Babe course in the past. what are some other courses that you've done and/or recommend? I'd love to make this part of my own personal development routine.

[@HeartBreathings]

It's always a mix of things, but I can't help but keep learning where I can! Money Bootcamp from Denise Duffield Thomas was a big one for helping me with money mindset in business! Highly recommend it. Strengths for writers from Becca Syme is amazing. I just recently signed up for Amore Money from Andrea Crowder (she does a lot of RRT), and Money Mentality Makeover from Amanda Frances, also still just continuing to work on money mindset and personal growth.

[@cherylreynolds8148]

I just moved into a moterm, loving it! Even put a kanban in the front.

[@LittleTeacherT]

I get such great ideas from your videos . ❤

[@ecr.7695]

I also accumulated some notebooks with the intention of using it for certain things. But they're just stocked up for now. Though I had given out one notebook to a parent since they needed one notebook in a certain size. Now I just need to find the time to figure the rat out. I had fallen behind for certain journals but am going to try to be on top of them foe the latter half of the year. I needed to figure out some things but I think I'm getting a better idea as to how to continue onward from the present. We'll see how it goes from here. TFS!

[@cassiewrites8097]

I got tons of Erin Condren planners and notebooks, which I'm finally starting to use due to the July start dates!! I have two Monthly Planners: one to track my Kindle Vella chapter release dates and one to track the release dates for my KZbin series! I also have the Star Wars Academic Planner, which I'm using for weekly planning. I'm using the Wildflowers Daily Duo for daily planning. I was also going to use my Inspire Vertical Planner for weekly planning, but I like the Star Wars planner more so I might shift the Inspire Vertical from a normal planner into a 5-Act Structure Story Planner. I also got the Inspire and Wildflowers Softbound Teacher Lesson Planners. I want to use them as either larger content calendars or story planners, so we'll find out! Other planners I'm using are the HB90 Planner (I made my own version of it in Notion), the Hero's Journals (they're so cute), the Talking Out Of Turn Goal Getter Planner (mapping out a wider range of goals), and Silk and Sonder (a monthly self-care planner subscription service with activities, recipes, and more!). I never expected to love planners as much as I do now lol

[@HeartBreathings]

Love this list!!

[@k8mae656]

This video makes me feel better about switching out my planners to a new system recently. Thank you for all you do and all that you share! ❤️

[@jillnelsonmalmt6085]

Thanks for sharing your lineup. I’m trying a b6 and may be an overly complicated Alastair method😂 we’ll see. It’ll be a work in progress.

[@bleeharvey]

As always- love your videos. I have been using a digital calendar and bullet journaling. However, I prefer written, so now having 5 different journals for different purposes

[@rosebud447]

Love all the planners!

[@ungluedmom]

My only addition for the year is a $3 bill/money organizer folder/notebook I found. I just moved into my 2023-24 planner; just an off the shelf Cambridge.

[@Lcarro22]

❤loved this video!

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you !!

[@nildam.bonilla5849]

I really discovered my love for planners last year and I'm going to add a second planner (big Happy Planner teacher layout) to keep my 3 kids stuff, plus anything for my husband actually written so I don't loose it if my sticky notes get moved 😅 because I decorate weekly. And I discovered a system using a wall calendar that never left my desk to keep their stuff that worked wonders for all the appointments and things they have.

[@JeremyCouture]

OMG, You look soooo adoreable in this video!!!! 💖💖💝💖💖

[@pdg23]

Love this top! So pretty

[@francineh.7825]

Super fun to see all of these!! I'll have to save up for that big project planner as that looks like a very effecient planner.

[@kimrioux4489]

I just love your videos. ❤

[@katsmith8263]

Haven't seen your A5 rings setupnfor a looooooong time!!! 😢😢😢

[@Runsonespresso]

Super excited about the EC Back to School launch. So many goodies!

[@niurkamorales3361]

I love your videos! 🩷🩷🩷

[@samanthakuhr8113]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@fantasyafield]

This was lovely, Sarra, thank you! I was just taking a break from my HB90 planning for the quarter, and I'm waiting for my Sterling Ink undated planner to arrive this afternoon, so the timing was absolutely perfect!

[@bellafiga5999]

Oh, how I love my sterling ink undated! I’m excited for you. It really is perfect.

[@fantasyafield]

@@bellafiga5999 I'm so excited too, thank you! The stickering is taking longer than I thought it would, and I'm just about ready to preorder the 2024 ones so I don't have to sticker next time, but I am already in love with the clean, minimalist design and how the pages feel!

[@E.M.Luminations]

Omgosh everything is so beautiful. Can't wait to see all the setups. Good luck with campnano ❤

[@lindaholbrook7447]

Hi Sarra! You look fantastic!

[@staceyshillingburg7966]

For Q3 I decided to go back to the HB90 daily pages too! I was just doing the weekly but with my two new goals of mental and physical health I thought it would be a great way to keep track of them. For my writing I’ve been using a beautiful Erin Condren A5 planner which I’ve really loved. Thanks for you videos and the sharing your HB90 system!

[@sheilaw1273]

Right now I’m in a Tula Xii but am looking to add to them.

[@MainerChick]

I added a 5 year hobonichi & a goal setting planner (because I had it & didn't want to buy the HB90 & pay for printing.) I'm continuing with the Jibun Lite as my EDC, the Annie Plans & Aura Estelle colab planner in a veg tan moterm as a journal, a hobo weeks in a foxy fix for my tarot a day, moleskin expanded hard cover as a notes for goals, sunshine sticker co notebook for finances, and a stalogy in a chic sparrow folio cover for witchy things. I have a video up about it. I've already been thinking about 2024 even though I hate to wish away time. I'm using up some stuff next year and probably won't buy much.

[@createrecipes2159]

Amazing Planner ❤

[@cocop5058]

Great video!

[@outinarizona]

Sterling Ink is my newest instant obsession. While I dont use notebooks, I'm SO TEMPTED to get full year 2024 B6 size. It's in the cart.....🤣

[@HeartBreathings]

I don't think you'll regret it!

[@bellafiga5999]

I don’t think you will regret it either, but the half year u dated with the date stickers as an add on is also a great idea. You can try it out and if you miss a week or so you can just date it that way

[@tamip293]

Such a great video, thank you for sharing all your ideas. I was wondering if the Hello Kitty planner is from a previous year, it’s adorable. They don’t have it on the EC site. Thank you 😊

[@IvyPlans]

Really liked this episode. I thought you were going back to paper. Notion is awesome, but it hits differently than paper, I totally get it. Curious, do you use both HB90 on Paper and the iPad concurrently?

[@JustScribble]

That’s not from Sterling ink. But CatspressoCo also sold those.

[@HeartBreathings]

The clear cover? I've never ordered from catspresso but it might have been from Lauren Phelps design?! Maybe!

[@JustScribble]

@@HeartBreathings 😣 should have time stamped. Yes the clear cover with the stars. 🥰

[@JimmieHammel]

I normally use the B6 stalogy, but i ordered an A5 stalogy because they were on sale half off for Amazon's recent sale day... I hope i like it

[@lindaholbrook7447]

Nice EC note book!

[@dayzyrules1]

that is a gant chart, and they work great for projects, I use for my phd research plannning

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you!

[@sallymonck5863]

I saw the Poketo in your previous video and unfortunately they don’t ship outside the US/Canada 🥺 but all good I feel fortunate to have KikkiK in Oz 😍
