My Planner Setup 2022 :: Frankenplanning 5 Planners Into 1 :: Catch-All Classic Happy Planner

[@Ellaodi]

The tab system is so clever!

[@squairdplans]

Thanks Laura! It is a must for my planner system.

[@DeeDee_Bean]

OMG love the top tab organization

[@squairdplans]

Thanks! They are a must have for navigating my planner!

[@ziapaige5751]

Incredible! LOVE IT!

[@squairdplans]

thanks so much!

[@CrunchyConservative]

Nice! I'm thinking through how to Franken my 2023 planner, and your video gave me lots of ideas for topics and organization. I hope your back has healed.

[@squairdplans]

Glad it was helpful! And yes, my back is healed up. Thanks for asking.

[@jewelflores1193]

Great video! Like many others who shared comments, I am learning much from you, too! I'm so inspired that I've finally organized my first frankenplanner today!! Yay! Baby steps though, so I have only 3 [for now, LOL] and doing catch-all using monthly layout, faith planning and budget. But with some note pages, folder, post-its, and dividers, it's thicker than I expected so I'm trying to decide if I want to change to expander discs.

[@jewelflores1193]

BTW, I wish that colorful Faith Planner you had in the video was still available! It's super cute! I so love the colors and the saying on the cover.

[@squairdplans]

Check on Mercari or google search shopping. Sometimes I find old happy planner items that way!

[@jewelflores1193]

@@squairdplans Thanks, Stephanie!😄

[@maryannemoll]

I think large metal discs are just magical. This is a great setup. Thanks fir sharing.

[@squairdplans]

Right?! Metal discs are my favorite! Really excited for this year's setup! Thanks for watching!

[@carolbremer-bennett3658]

Glad you’re back! Hope your back heals soon and completely.

[@squairdplans]

I hope so too! Apparently your back does a lot more than you'd think. The struggle has been too real.

[@DeeDee_Bean]

I finally made it all the way through. Thanks totally loaded with a ton of great habits

[@squairdplans]

I know...It is long, but thankfully, it is only once a year. 😉 Glad you got some ideas from it!

[@frederiquelong785]

Hi Stephanie, THIS IS a very useful video who come from bullet journaling background. I am wondering what's your routine in how you go through the different sections everyday and how much time it takes you. I am also wondering if you ship what's in your Etsy shop internationally. Lots of good ideas come from the US or Canada, but we end up paying more in taxes and shipping than the actual stuff we buy 🤔🤔🤔 In any case, I really love how you DIY most of your sheets. That must be time consuming but very satisfying 👏👏👏

[@squairdplans]

Hi! So, I have a video on my daily routine here (though it may be time for a refresher 😉): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqnEqqOtmt6Fg6c Also, my shop only offers printable files currently so there is no shipping issues. 😁🖨️👍 And I love to DIY so that I can get exactly what I want. 😏 It takes me less time usually to do it myself than to search for what I want I find.

[@jeaninehaack1459]

Yeah! You are back! Love your planner setup... hope you feel better soon!

[@squairdplans]

Yep! Back at it, even if at only 70% physically. Thanks for the well wishes!

[@wendyhoward2699]

I had to have major back surgery a little over 10 months ago. I’ll be praying that your pain gets resolved. Love your planning set up. Blessings.

[@squairdplans]

That must have been a long recovery, if I am debilitated with just a minor strain. Hope you are all healed up by now. Thank you for your prayers, Wendy! Blessings.

[@tonyaalfonso4721]

I hurt my back in the summer of 2019. That pain is NO JOKE! Aleve and Tylenol, heat and ice, and plenty of chiropractic visits helped over time. It can be a slow, discouraging process, so hang in there. Praying the Lord meets you in those hard places of waiting on and working for healing.

[@helenbonanno4804]

I can soooo relate, I just went thru a bout of sciatica,,,wheeeeeew !!!

[@squairdplans]

Hoping for a speedy recovery. It's been about a week and at about 70% mobility as compared to Day 1. Ready to start my 2022 plans, but need to put my patience hat on till my body tells me I'm ready. I feel for you both going through this. It has been humbling, for sure. Thanks for the prayers. Blessing to you both for sharing!

[@jessicakent4265]

I LOVE your reading log!!! TFS. I know this is for 2022 but there were some great ideas in here. TY

[@squairdplans]

So glad you found the video useful! Happy planning!

[@norajohnson7103]

I loved this video.I can see a lot of time & thought went into your planner process.I really learn so much from you.Ty for sharing😊😊

[@squairdplans]

So glad to hear it! Happy planning!

[@ramonalafavor3576]

I love the organization of your planner its just a bit overwhelming for someone like me brand new to planning. I think I need to start out really simple. I’m not even sure about how to go about decorating a spread. But I love watching your videos and decorating pages. I get so many good ideas from you but then look at my page and draw a blank or become afraid I’m going to ruin the page. Please keep sharing and encouraging the way you do. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us, especially us beginners.

[@squairdplans]

Thanks so much, Ramona. And I understand how 5 planners could be overwhelming! I feel overwhelmed some days but I built up to point where I feel like something would be missing if I let one section go. You do you...start small so you enjoy planning and the feeling organization it gives!

[@Rockwooddream]

I really like the yearly perpetual calendar with the month calendar at the top and lines below. Thank you for sharing your set up. Hope you feel better soon.

[@squairdplans]

Thank you so much, Christi!

[@sheliaallen7211]

Thanks for the great video Stephanie. I am anxiously waiting for the future log printables in your shop. I pray that your back heals soon, I also suffer with back pain and it is definitely no joke.

[@squairdplans]

Thank you, Shelia! I am working on them tonight, so check the shop tomorrow...they should be up by then if all goes well!

[@lisaschooler9992]

I LOVE the size of the ARC/TUL discs also. The quarter -inch incremental step is just perfect, I agree. I used him for most of my sticker storage box because it ends up being just the right amount of space. I just saw that farmhouse happy notes a few months ago at a JOANN store. Now I sort of wish I had purchased it, lol.

[@squairdplans]

Awww, missed opportunity! I hate when that happens.

[@korkeshaarrington7223]

Praying that you feel better soon. As always...nice setup!!! I have purchased from your shop. And before the year ends I want to have all of your layouts. They are great! TFS!!! 🤩

[@squairdplans]

Thank you so much, Korkesha, for your kind words! I really appreciate them!

[@georgiabuckingham65]

I love how organized your planner is, and especially love when you add stickers! I’m assuming this planner stays home on your desk. What do you use when you’re out of the house?

[@squairdplans]

Yes it does! Since I WFH now, I really don't have a need for a on-the-go planner. I used to take it with me though, to and from work back in the day, still keeping everything in one classic planner. I do have a micro notes that I keep in my purse for shopping lists and notes to myself in case the need arises, but I don't use it all that often.

[@lindawoodfill503]

Sending prayers that you heal soon ! Great line up . Thanks for sharing.I agree on the weight , I tack my daily although we can go up and down a pound or two daily it does help me stay focus more on what I’m eating.

[@squairdplans]

Yes! That is the hope. I already see weight fluctuations of 2-3 lbs day to day, without exercise, so it is good to get a baseline.

[@almaflores4410]

Praying for healing for your back . QUESTION- In the faith section do you have your youversion scripture on one side and on the other a recap of your scripture from your reading for the bible in a year plan?

[@squairdplans]

Yes, that is what I am doing this month. I may change it up month to month but that format for January. 😁❄️

[@dazzlingcreativevibesandpl6774]

Love how you have it set up. Happy New Year ,Stephanie.. and really hope you get to successfully complete on everything you had been putting off, this year...

[@squairdplans]

I hope so too! Thanks for the encouragement, Priya, and happy New Year to you, too!

[@reallyfijateperocomocono1131]

Try the black dip like what they do for shoes and wheel rims, friend made me some metal white discs from hp that chipped a ton and made each ring a rainbow pattern and they have worked no chip.

[@squairdplans]

Ok, I’ll look into that! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Analyze_N_Optimize]

Try a magic eraser to take those scuffs off 😁 thanks for sharing!

[@squairdplans]

I will! Thanks!

[@susanmorris5520]

Hi Stephany. I just wanted to send you a quick Happy New Year and I pray this year is the best for you and I’m excited to see what you do in your planners.❤️🥰👍🏻 God Bless you always and hugs, Sue(Clearwater, Florida)❤️🥰🤟🏻😎🌸🦋😊👼🌴❄️⭕️⭕️❌⭕️

[@squairdplans]

Thank you, Sue! Happy New Year to you too! Blessings 💕

[@susanmorris5520]

squaird plans So wonderful to hear from you Stephany. I hope that 2022 is being good to you and you are also keeping well too? I have to say that the beginning of the year wasn’t good to me but, I think I found my niche for the New Year and I’m gonna try to keep working at it and maybe tweak it a bit. It’s people that I let ruin it and I need to not let that happen. So anyway, have a blessed rest of your weekend (what’s left) and keep the faith too. Hugs and blessings friend, Sue(Clearwater , Florida ❤️🙏🏻🌴🦋👼🌸😘🤟🏻🥰😊❌⭕️❌⭕️

@@susanmorris5520 You do what brings joy and all will work out in the end. 😀💕 Blessings!

I saw someone use the UNDO to clean the sticky stuff off a cover and clean finger prints. I haven’t tried it yet but I love 💕 my undo so will try soon

[@squairdplans]

Nice! Undu is a hidden gem. 👍Didn't work on the scuffs tho'...😔

[@DeeDee_Bean]

@@squairdplans bummer

[@sarahsdesignspace1015]

Love it

[@squairdplans]

Thank you!

[@krisdeacon3367]

Goo gone helps get rid of the scuffs and residue from stickers and pens 😊

[@squairdplans]

TFS! I did try Goo Gone. It doesn't do anything to the scuffs on this plastic, however. 😔

[@globetrotter8762]

Welcome back ! So sorry to hear about your back...love your pages..are you a teacher by profession or r u a professional planner? Great video!

[@squairdplans]

Thanks! And no, I am not a professional in the teaching or planning world...just a very detail oriented person who love organization. My day job is in graphic design.

[@globetrotter8762]

Well you're great at all 3 roles😊 have you tried aliexpress for those mid sized discs? It's the Chinese version of Amazon...very good

[@squairdplans]

@@globetrotter8762 I did look into aliexpress but it was a month wait for shipping for not that much savings. 😕

[@globetrotter8762]

@@squairdplans ahh well. Anyway looks like the size you've settled with will be just fine. I love your creativity and good attempt at trying to colour match those disc...I'm new to happy planning and your channel is fab! If you let me know name of those discs...I can try to check if they sold in UK and send to you....?

[@squairdplans]

@@globetrotter8762 no worries. I am really enjoying the extra large expander discs surprisingly so I am content for now. Thanks for the thought, though…kind of you to offer. 🤗💕

[@DeeDee_Bean]

Currently Watching the video OMG 😱 I need that future log is it in your shop yet ?? Didn’t find it. Please let me know. Also FYI I purchased those corner tabs through your link. Omg fabulous idea.

[@squairdplans]

I am working on the future log listings tonight, so check the shop tomorrow...they should be up by then if all goes well!

[@rodehl]

Janes Agenda have black metal discs in different sizes 😊

[@squairdplans]

Thanks for the suggestion! I honestly forgot that they sold discs. Will keep in mind for future needs. 👍

[@patriciapification]

I noticed you had punched the tabs with the clear film on... Maybe they act as a reinforcement? perhaps keeping them on will avoid it cracking?

[@squairdplans]

I think it helps. The problem is when I need to move them in and out of the discs once I've striped the film (which is blue on the these thicker plastic tabs). Maybe I can opening up the holes though so it takes less pressure to push them in? Hmmm... you got me thinking. TFS!

[@patriciapification]

@@squairdplans maybe replace with a clear strip just on the left side along the holes or to remove the film after its already in?

[@squairdplans]

@@patriciapification good thinking…I’ll see if it helps on the one I need to remake! 😁👍

[@AimlessAllee]

Love the photo corner tip! Do you print everything on 32# paper?

[@squairdplans]

Yep! I use it for pretty much all my printouts. :)
