USING A BINDER AS A PLANNER | HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE

♥♥ OPEN FOR MORE INFO! ♥♥
Hi! I’m starting a new series on my channel called “How to organize your entire life” - and today we’re kicking it off with a super satisfying, budget-friendly binder planner option! Please hit subscribe to catch the rest of the series! XO, Charlotte
P.S. DO NOT BE ALARMED…I am still using and loving my LV agenda, and a new video on that will be up next week!
P.P.S. Also I forgot to mention, the purses I use most often are my LV Neverfull, my MCM backpack, and my Longchamp large tote, so I can easily fit this whole binder system into any of those to take it on the go. (I have videos on all three bags if you are interested!)

[@doloresofcourse]

The back-to-school supply aisles make me so happy. I've actually taken online classes just so I had an excuse to buy new supplies. Not ashamed.

[@annmcdonough1470]

[@memoir02]

[@msbecky7309]

[@rosievilla6153]

[@carlotta6208]

[@jeanne1271]

I’m 60 and wish I could go back to school also , I love school and all the supplies ! I love walking my little grandson into my old grade school , the smell brings tears to my eyes , you can smell crayons, the wax in the gym and polish on the wood , it’s hard to explain ❤️

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Awww, I know exactly what you mean 💗 Let's go back to preschool together!

[@nandamari]

[@haircandykina]

Jeanne 1 You should totally go back to school! You can do it!

[@mscupcakedreamson36]

Jeanne 1 Omg, I adore you for this comment. The older I get, the more I reminisce on my childhood. I miss taking my niece and nephew to school. You can go back to school. Even if you take one class per semester. When I was in college, there was a lady in her 50s, in my sociology class. I admired her so much.

[@mscupcakedreamson36]

Patricia Rincon thank you. You as well!

[@kando23]

Such a good idea, im only 6 minutes in and i feel silly for spending all this moment on planners that are never perfect, or dont have enough room. and i usually stop using after a few months.. this is perfect :)

[@ChriseyMaria]

sienna forde omg same! I literally just commented the same thing. I waste money on planners that I wind up not using because it’s not personalized how I want. 🤦🏽‍♀️ smh

[@kando23]

lol yep every year i do it, and always promise il use them.. then I find a better planner thats 'more suited' lol but at least with this idea you can make it exactly how you want. :)

[@nats6190]

Sienna forde I'm exactly the same way haha.

[@berniecelee5062]

Yep... tired of small planners ...not enough room for a busy mom who looks after too many people . 2021 ...I am going to a binder

[@sharondipity152]

This video really spoke to the school & office supply lover in me. Have been one all my life. There is something so satisfying about writing, especially a brain dump, on a full-sized sheet of lined notebook paper with a pen that feels good in your hand and writes as smooth as butter. Thanks for sharing, Charlotte!

YEEEEEESSSSSSSS

[@DoloresJRush]

As a retired homeschool mom and Sunday School teacher, I still have and use 3 ring binders for planners, for recipes, for those little freebie craft sheets you get at the hobby stores, my medical papers I get from my doctors, for my family tree, Documented Faith, prayer requests, my "I Did It" checklist (works better for ADD persons like myself), doodles and poetry, appliance papers, take-out restaurant menus, phone book, travel brochures, sermon notes, artist trading cards and pocket letters, and any other loose papers that come into my house. I love that laminated rose petal dashboard. Very pretty!

[@memoir02]

Girl I love school supplies and I'm 30 years old! So you are definitely not the only one. I will hang out in a Staples or Office Depot any day LOL

[@demelzapoldark3035]

[@miriamoppenheim]

Same and I’m 36 🤷‍♀️

[@mscupcakedreamson36]

AngieR Crawley yes!!

[@tarareads23]

I love school supplies. As some people like clothes or shoe shopping, I love stationery supplies. I could spend hours in an office supply store. 😀 This is a good system. Thanks for sharing.

[@savannahmanley4049]

[@faithtomorrow]

Same here, Office Depot is my jam!

[@gadsdenrose]

I have always said my ideal date would be in a Staples.

[@todorokisfavouriteobject9109]

Same here!

[@FanningTheFlameMin]

Let me just say, your not alone. I love when its time to go back to school so I can shop too. My kids are older and out of school but I cant resist a cute notebook, or cute pen, with that said this video was great and gave me an idea for when I start working again to keep things organized..Thanks so much for sharing..💕🤗

[@memoir02]

MissMissy72 Exactly! I'll shop for shoes and clothes every once in a little while, but the places I frequent the most on a weekly basis are Michaels Staples and Office Depot

[@sma4030]

omg youre a cutie!!!!

[@mscupcakedreamson36]

MissMissy72 Yes mame! Sometimes I just buy supplies to give to children I don’t know. I always buy my youngest niece, the cutest supplies I can find. I don’t ever want her to wish for things. I couldn’t always get everything I wanted, but my mom did the best she could. I was always happy.

[@PattyCampbell]

I'm also a school supplies lover! I've raised 4 girls, and just loved getting all their school supplies every year. Only one of them inherited my love for a new binder with a fresh pack of filler paper in it. They're all out of school now, and getting their own college supplies, but I still love buying it for me. So I've been making a home management binder, home made planners, etc. I love an excuse to get cute supplies lol And I'm 48! I LOVE how cute and pink yours is.

[@Je551kuhhh]

YES! My husband doesn’t understand my supply/stationary obsession 😂 I absolutely love planners so much. This video is awesome!

[@fawnpender3907]

I love the "brain dump" page for pre-planning! I, too, am a school/office supply freak, and although I love my Happy Planner, I'm considering trying the binder idea. Nice job!

[@s.p.3681]

[@hannahm.9881]

Wanting to go back to school isn't strange at all. Think of it, we went to school for 12 years of our lives! More if you went to pre-k and K. It was something that we did every year...then one day it just stopped. Some go on to college but even that ends one day. To me Back To School season feels like the beginning of a new year and end to an old one. Even though it's not our calendar year.

[@oceanblue24134]

Zach&Hannah M. Love these comments about going back to school. Two things: 1. Love this video!!! 2. After completing my masters I’m thinking on studying music. Like pursuing a BA in music production. Most people will mock me because not only do I want this badly but also my doctorate in Psychology. (Not to be a licensed therapist) isn’t it interesting how people make you feel guilty for wanting to learn? For all of the learners out there just do it. If you’re going to pay for the classes, if you are committed, if you have the drive and passion go for it. I actually didn’t tell many people I was going to pursue a masters after my BS but when I finally did oh the jealous people. I cried and felt guilty for wanting to be educated and my love for school. This video has inspired me to organize everything both in my personal life and professional life. Thank you!

[@MeMe-qd1xl]

I never want to go back to school again. Even if i could turn back time. Even if I was reborn again. I had to deal with soo much bullies, including teacher. Im insecure because of alot of ghings that happened to me. But i like to organize my life thats why am watching these type of videos.

[@daphnefrancis576]

A young woman after my own heart! I have loads of binder planners for different areas of my life. Thanks for sharing this strategy here! Much Love Sweet Spirit!

[@ladyoftheelvz]

I love that you kept your organization practical, but also added your own style and made it unique, and cute! It's little things like that which makes planning the days out that much more fun.

[@aurorajoy2725]

I just found this video today in August 2022. It's practical and low budget. I will definitely use your ideas to make my handmade planner for myself. Thanks for the brilliant ideas.

[@kevans763]

I loved this idea and I had printed out some binder planner pages in July but wasn't sure where to start. I bought a pretty binder and supplies last night and created my planner watching this video at 1am. I love to color so I found a great great color page and colored it and put it in the slot as the cover. I have an affirmation journal as well that I'm decorating too. Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions. I love your videos.

[@treeclarice1062]

I never even thought if doing this. I love my kikki k planners but I do get really frustrated with never having enough space to write things. I can use this method for university and store my notes from lectures and section them into modules and also keep my day to day calendars and to do lists. Genius! Thank you so much for this great video!

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

When I went to college and had free printing (up to so many pages per day) I printed out calendar pages and assignment pages, etc and made my own binder planner. Now that I know so much about planners and planning, I would make a seriously awesome, best ever planner/bullet journal. (Alas no printer currently) I used this clear folder that had a slide type clip in the middle to hold your pages in that I got from the school bookstore.

[@tooblessedtobestressed9715]

The movie "You've Got Mail" has a quote that I think you can identify with! Tom Hanks' character says that the fall weather makes him feel like buying bouquets of sharpened pencils. I love that! LOL Heather xo

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Yes, I adore that quote!! Favorite movie of all time 💗

[@Digitalwife]

The simplicity of this idea is genius!!!!

[@mvnfwd1445]

Yay someone my age who loves school supplies. My family does not understand my obsession. Prior to having kids I always shopped during back-2-school sales. Now I fight over my supplies with my girls. I love your binder it’s beautiful. Unlike you I could never handle only using the front of a page😬😬😬 lol

[@rogeliodoyle9168]

Thank you for this! I'm obsessed with school supplies too so have a bunch of these supplies already. I like being able to customize and have tons of space to write. You're never too old to go back to school 😁 I'm 46 and will be graduating with my BSN in a year and a half.

[@yesilovee90]

I’m 28 and I’ve always loved school supplies! And now I have a 5 year old that’s starting kindergarten in September and I’ve already bought all the stuff on his supplies list 😆 and I wanna go buy more for myself! Lol 😂 I especially love the Back to School corner at Target! I love this idea and loved the video! ☺️☺️🤗

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Hehe that is so cute!! I need to get some friends with kids to let me do their back to school shopping for them 😂

[@mscupcakedreamson36]

Oh you remind me of myself. I love school and learning so much. You’re never to old to go back. Every time I go to the store, I have to buy something related to school!!i love journaling and planning. Glad I found your channel.

[@daisycutterx3300]

I love school and office supplies, too. I used to think it was a teacher thing, so how very delightful to happen upon this video and see non-educator and non-student adults love them, too. 💖💕

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Yes, absolutely! Of course, I would gladly go back to school in a heartbeat, even if I do have a terminal degree! Thanks for your comment 😊💝

[@lauriep.1362]

Love Back to School supplies ...my favorite time of year 😁 I just made my own system in a binder and notebook paper, too. Made my own calendar pages, put washi tape as monthly tabs, and made a 2019 year at a glance out of mini monthly, blank sticky notes from Target dollar spot, and decked it out with matching seasonal stickers, (love stickers, too)👍 I couldnt see spending lots of money on something trendy, so I made my own.👍

[@blonderoast3032]

32 year old headed into her last year of college and I can't wait to use this idea. Hurry up book advance! 😍😍😍 Ahhhh! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@hannahstaigvil1098]

This is actually a super great idea! I might implement this in August when I start university. At the moment, my teenie tiny planner meets my needs because I really only have to schedule a few lines for homework assignments and my daily to dos, but I’m already stressing out about the fact that I’ll have so much more to do and just need a bigger space once I’m on my own and in university. Plus it’s a perfect place to keep your syllabi! Thank you!

[@rhondawilliams9449]

Yes! So smart. I started making my own planners about 5 years ago after I hunted for something I liked plus affordable. No luck there. So I made my own. I really like the brain dump page. I have a brain storm page, I guess that would be almost the same thing. Anyway, I think that's a really good tip. I love decorating and creating the pages. Thank you so much for sharing this with everybody. I have turned down a few requests for a homemade planner but I think it should have their own mark on it and the creation should come from them. I am going to share your site with them from now on(I just came across your site accidentally.)because your cover looks very professionally done. I think that's what a lot of women want. Feminine and professional looking. I cover mine with material, paints, drawings, and lace; it looks good but not professional. Anyway, Great ideas and I will definitely pass on your channel to all my friends and family and those who want to know more about organizing their life. (I look forward to watching those videos as well.)

[@lesliehobson3196]

Finally! Where have you been all these months I have been looking for the kind of planner I need & want? I am a 67-year-old female, disabled/retired, lifelong learner who still misses being in school & loved it when I was & loves school shopping every August. Not yet having found a journal that meets my requirements, I finally decided last month, as I was again school shopping for myself, that I needed to design my own journal in a looseleaf notebook. I bought a full-size looseleaf & a few items to be able to keep my journaling supplies corralled in it. That was as far as I got. I was hoping to find some really pretty-colored, college-ruled paper but did not & still have not; guess I will have to settle for white & decorate as I go along. I am artistic, so that will do for now. I need SPACE to write & doodle & jot & list & whatever else I decide. I need to keep track of multiple medical appointments, in-home nursing visits, budget & bills, personal priorities (foremost being my spirituality), things I need & want, & what I need to make the most of my time & what little energy I have. Last month, i was finally able to determine the three specific features my journal must have. Quite unexpectedly, i came across your video tonight. I can not believe how much alike we are when it comes to our journaling prerequisites! Watching your video made me realize how out-of-the-ordinary I am & that I just have to accept that reality & create my own space --- & my own kind of journal! Thank you!

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Here is my to do list hack. I just recently bought page sized sticky notes and I put my to do list on it. I can move it to where I most want it (front of month or on a weekly spread, opposite side that the current day is on...) So then I can cross things off and whatever doesn't get done I don't have to rewrite- I migrate the whole list and don't rewrite it until I want to.

[@deborahgarces4803]

WOW that's an amazing ideal. I wish at 45 I could go back to school myself too. I used to like The Happy Planner. But it's never ugh enough room for everything for my catch book. So I recently decided to just get a notebook and some Plastic Sleeve Protectors to put all of My Planner Pages into them and add other items in my book that I can just make as My Go To Book. I'm so glad that I ran across your video.

[@switchboard98]

I'm also obsessed with school supplies, mostly pens!!! I love going to Staples and walking around the store with my imaginary school supply list (mostly pens and spiral notebooks)! I'm a case manager, so I take TONS of notes!!!

[@TheWillingVessels-vx9zj]

Omg! Thanks for posting this! I sooooo neeeeeed this in my life!!! I am also a girly girl crafter, that likes the pastel colors. I make alot of crochet quilts and amigirumi's, so I need a crafting binder to keep up with everything I've made, patterns, and future ideas!!!

[@loved1lost333]

Loved this video. I’m a paper hoarder- tons of little pieces of paper with notes, numbers etc. I’ll definitely use the brain dump page, it’s so much better to keep everything in one place. Thanks for sharing! Beautiful job!

[@samevans1289]

Whenever I see journaling/planners video-which is often 'cause I love them-I always think "lol, mine will *never* look that cute, it's simply not practical for me". But I do want it to be a bit cuter, and more organized than it is now, and I think the way you're doing it it's the perfect mix between practical, organized but still allowing some creative and artistic freedom, and beautiful to look at whilst still remaining clean-looking and without it being "too much". I think I just found my "journaling sweet spot". Thanks a lot! 😄💜

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Yay for planner peace! xoxo

[@marymorris9780]

BRILLIANT!!! Thank you SO MUCH! I have 10,000 ideas now! And I LOVE your folding system!

[@NorthShoreOverland]

Thanks! Working on my binder now and alot of these suggestions helped! And yes..... I'm into binders.... And school/office supplies. Not sure why, but It relaxes me.

[@jenniferkale150]

Love your planner! I like how organized you are,you definitely make me excited to plan and organize my life! 💕

[@sophialeedavid4736]

Thank you for showing an affordable option for those of us who are planning to buy the LV GM agenda in the future. I've tried every planner out there and it's so difficult using an Inkwell Press or Erin Condren because it's practically impossible to customize it. This planner is so beautiful and affordable! Thanks again, xoxo

[@toniharris5888]

I really enjoyed this video! I have always had a love for paper. I'm going to make my own binder with my favorite colors! I will shop around for cheap items! What I really like about your binder. Is that anyone can make it their own. Creative Style! I'm going to put all my life important papers in mine! All in one place! Thank you!

[@debrosewatt]

Ahhh watching this made me happy! I'm obsessed with stationary and I always miss that feeling of a new back to school pencil case and new note books - I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one! I think I'm going to give this a go, I've tried all the to do list apps and nothing is ever as satisfying as having it written down in something truly personal to you. Thanks for sharing! Debbie

[@brwnsuga.hokage4009]

You had me at erasable highlighters! Lol. I'm starting school back in Jan and a medical asst then medical sonography/ultrasound tech so I already know I'll definitely need a planner! I was looking for a planner app but knowing me (I have to write everything done) so I think this will be great for me! Thanks.

[@sarahkwanashie8199]

I was just feeling overwhelmed with all the work I have to do between school, work, and business. I just found this video and I feel so much more at ease! Thanks for the tips💕

[@betzie2]

"Brain Dump sheet"! Love that!!! LOL I'm far from your age but that cracks me up. Perfect binder!

[@anber4129]

LOVE office supplies!! When I was little, I wouod collect them and save them for a later time (never got to use em hehe). I love your video, it’s so organized and something about flipping through a “busy” binder with all these different pieces in there, each useful, is so satisfying! 😁

[@rhondawilliams9449]

I also make own journals. Love doing that. Talk about your own personal stamp. Every page has some creation or picture, etched into it, which speaks more to how I am feeling that day than my words do.

[@ThePlannerChannel]

This is what I used to do before I discovered The Happy Planner. They do all the hard work of putting this together for us and we just have to decorate. PS love the rose petals.😊

[@tisawentworth6239]

Hi! I'm alot like you. But I'm disabled and can no longer work. My youngest daughter is 24 and is autistic, Aspergers Syndrome. My husband has terminal cancer. So what I do is I use my highlighters to plan appointments ex. My daughter's appointments, work schedule etc. are highlighted in green, her fav color. My husband's appts are in blue, his fav color, and my appts. are in purple, you guessed it, my fav color. Yellow is used for the dogs and other family members and friends' birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Hot pink is for really hot pressing appts, ie. Chemo treatments, when things are due, etc. So I am really happy I found your videos. Can't wait to watch more of them! Thanks for sharing!

[@mai_world]

1st, stop it with this binder! I love it! 2nd, Ugh! I bought disc bound system for the ease of a binder type system... THIS WOULD HAVE SO MUCH CHEAPER! Thank you for sharing. I thought it was just me with the school supply obsession. Glad to know there a tribe of us. :)

[@demelzapoldark3035]

Me, too, ThatsSoSarah! By the way, MilkAndHoney, thank you from the bottom of my heart for *not* assaulting us with music...it never fails to amaze me how someone can take the time to make an informational You Tube video and then turn around and put music or drumming overtop of it....I wonder what they would do if their teachers played annoying music while they taught - if the students would be expected to be able to concentrate?

[@diannaprescott8257]

Thank you for doing a video using a binder for a planner! I sort of started using a binder years ago for a planner, but never really finished it. A binder is so much easier for me than the smaller planners. Thanks for all the tips (especially the dividers!!!) and pointing out that someone else likes the large binders! I'll finish mine now using several of your techniques.

[@childrensrecreationclub8189]

Amazing I just came to same conclusion recently. Got a beautiful binder set it for business keep all info. I too use note book paper. And have made it set up for MY use. Spent tons on digital and bound planners that just didn’t feel my needs. Love this

[@lashonnabahr889]

I stopped using my planner for awhile because I was bored of it lol. You just inspired me to revamp it and schedule my life again!! 👍❤️ Thank you!

[@yocelin1087]

I have always loved school supplies as well and also looking at office designs and ideas like on magazines or online. I don’t understand why and have always felt like I was so weird because of it. Watching your video and also from reading the comments I realize I am not alone. What a relief! 😅

[@TXWintor]

This left me feeling inspired! I was able to find the same 3-ring at my local Target with no issues, there were actually 2 - so don't fret, you may still be able to find it too.

[@rninthemaking873]

OMG i found it lol it was the last one at target to 😂. I can’t wait to spice this baby up when school starts

[@jenbrown1224]

It’s so nice knowing I’m not the only one who obsesses over school supplies. I just started using a bullet journal but I’m using a big three subject spiral and it’s nice having a lot of room but I think after I use this one up I’m going to use a binder like this because it’s hard not being able to move papers around or if I think of something else I want to put before something I can’t because they are stuck in that spot. Thank you so much for this video.

[@Lilymomable]

Hey young lady, im in my 50th i also love stationary. School supplies, pens, etc. Etc. I go to any store and i go directly to the school supplies area . -God Bless!

[@thethriftyfawn]

Hi Charlotte! I recently found your channel, and I love this video! I have ADHD and I could never stick with traditional planners or small planners. I love school supplies as an adult as well lol. This BINDER idea could totally work for someone like me, and I am willing to give it a try! I have all the basics at home to get started, and I like how easily this can be customized to each person's individual needs and preferences. I especially love the BRAIN DUMP sheet... I'm certain it would wonders for someone like me! Thanks again! Fawn 😊

[@Helena20254]

I agree , I went on Shein the other day and omg , they have the cutest Japenese stickers. Im in my 30's still wishing I was in school !

[@sacredravenstarotvision6925]

Omg! Both my hubby and I joke about how much we love the stationary, pens, pencils and crayons etc. Those back to school things are so fun! I loved school as a kid and I still do! My hubby didn't like school as a kid too much but he's very artsy and loves writing, etc.

[@yourstrulychristina]

Love this. I feel the same about school supplies. Even just walking through the isle at Target makes me so excited 😊

[@KarenRose70]

I like school supplies too. Another good tip is to put business cards in your binder. Like ones fur drs and other ones you use a lot.

[@lavenderlovelifeuk]

Keep going to school! Never stop taking classes, because there is always something to learn! 29 years w my company and I'm still using my education money they give us every year :) You will never regret it!

Then I am weird with you because I'm a 45 yr old that loves buying school stuff, girly stuff writing etc lol. Awesome video

Oh my the flower petal idea with the laminator is AMAZING! Sounds like fun!

[@katherinewhitworth6048]

This is my first time finding one of your videos, but I'll say this: you had me at "I laminated a page of rose petals." Absolutely amazing! I can't wait to see all of your videos and beautiful ideas. Yay!

[@kittennoire8427]

I’m in to school supplies as well for whatever reason. Today I decided that I wanted to turn my journal into a planner! So here I sit looking at videos for ideas and I definitely enjoyed this video!! Notebook paper is very satisfying to me also 🤷🏾‍♀️Lol! I find Im able to express myself thoroughly, through journaling! New subbie!!!

Oh man, you know those zipper binders, where it's practically a purse? I still get excited about those whenever I see them. I am CONDITIONED. When I was in school, I guess they'd just come out, and if you had a zipper binder you were like the person who drives a Tesla.

[@milicamarshastefanovich3312]

Loved your planning video! I must admit that I too, get super excited for school supplies 💗

I'm 44 but don't look or act it, lol. I thought I was the only one. I LOVE school/offices supplies. I don't know why since I always hated school. When I first started going over to my boyfriend's house I needed to write something down and I couldn't find any kind of paper and I was like "how do you live with no paper" I couldn't do that. I use to write lists and re-write them and if I made one mistake I had to do it all over again, but I loved doing it and people think I'm weird but I don't care.

So I've been wanting to start using a planner more, and I like the Happy Planner, but it is just too expensive for me at the moment... by the time I add all the things I 'need'. this is an excellent idea that I can still make super cute and fun for much less...and if I end up not using it as often as I want to I wont have guilt for spending a small fortune. Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@courtneyxoxo3035]

I love school supplies and making my binders look cute and presentable! I love being that way with everything tbh lol

[@nakedmoleratambrose5533]

yes! im currently a middle schooler and this is what i need. thank you!

[@keishafavours9676]

Watching this video really makes a lot of sense instead of trying to make a planner work for me. I love all things school supplies!

[@justmeerah1041]

this video is a literal LIFE SAVER. THANK YOU!!! it made me think about how i wanted to use my mini binder and i’ve decided to like have a similar layout as yours. i was planning on making a bullet journal but felt like i’d be discouraged and totally forgot about printables. so thank you!!! this is a flexible way to have a personalized planner. thank you thank you thank u!!!

[@saraadair5446]

Thanks again sister .. your so great !!! You give me inspiration and hope .. I suffer from anxiety and ocd so watching your videos help me .. I’m obsessed with school supplies hahaha I always feel better with new pens .. thanks for being you Charlotte 💯🌸

I had (and used!) a binder consistently for maybe a year and a half or two. I checked it every Sunday or Monday to get on top of the week ahead. It helped me so much to center my brain! Eventually, I did get a Filofax Domino because I wanted something more pocket-sized, but I definitely experience getting antsy with writing space that is any size smaller than _large_, haha! I'm still figuring out that transition. The nice thing about a large binder is that it feels like an unfoldable "place" I can "get into" more. I don't really know how to explain that. Personally, my main, lasting difficulty is figuring out what makes sense as a versus what should go into a smaller section on something like a combined overview-page. You also reminded me to bring the braindump back, thanks!

[@sweetsportychic107]

You are the only other 30+ yo person, I’ve heard that likes/loves back to school supply shopping 🛍! So glad to meet you, I’m obsessed too!

[@redqueenrae393]

I love binders and I also love planners. So when I saw this video, it inspired me to do my own planner binder. And it really helped in organizing my life. Thank you so much!

[@susanblackburn477]

What about her bills?

[@Shughes20081]

I live for school shopping since I was in school and I m 36 with two kids. Always used planners since 15 so this video makes me feel so girly ❤️😊

[@authenticallytrish]

The petals were such a genius idea!
