Planner Tips For Bad Mental Health Days 🧠🤕

[@artblob]

I just wanted to say that the way you speak and the way you use the journals/planners is what I consider goals. You seem to have been through a lot, and it shows in your profound views of the small things. Thank you for being vulnerable with this one and also showing us your "not perfect" spreads. I really appreciated it and thank you so much for that. Keep doing what you are doing, I think your channel really deserves so much more subscribers already.

Great video! My mental health is one of the reasons that I don't use a dated (daily) planner anymore, as I absolutely can't stand blank pages but I don't mind if I skipped some days but have no white space because I can just write again after the last day I wrote. I'm introducing daily graditute in 2024, to try and appreciate the little things. But I've also decided that if I have no gratitude for a day, I can also just use a washi tape or nice stickers on that day since that makes me happy too :)

This was a fantastic video. Thank you for being vulnerable. Your specific tips for the tough days, or a focus on mental health are wonderful. I think a lot of us come to the planning world because we are seeking a way to manage overwhelm, and the idea of learning how to "plan" perfectly to defeat overwhelm is a fallacy in my book. I actually walked away from my planner/journal after the new year because I found it was bringing me more anxiety. However, I figured out it is not the planning/journaling that bring me anxiety, but it was my idea that it had to be done everyday to a specific fidelity. FALSE! I came back to it with fresh eyes and now no longer get upset or anxious about blank pages or missed weeks. I am grateful for your videos.

I’m speechless! After watching so many planner and journaling videos over the years I found yours and it fits ME!!! Love love love the GLAD method and the way you demonstrated what to do on “bad” days. Love how you taught that it’s ok to have a blank page and that blank pages can speak for themselves. Please keep your video coming. ❤

[@dawnhaptonstahl9428]

My son recommended your channel to me, and mentioned this video in particular. The approach you take and what you say resonates very well with me. Listening to you is like a conversation with a good friend 😊

[@ChantelleArts]

there's some really interesting tips here that I never would have thought of ❤

[@LLaP5898]

Thanks so much for this! I drifted away from my planner during the pandemic and you made me realize how much I miss it and feel unmoored without it. I’ve subscribed and am really looking forward to more of your content 💖

[@hey2811]

Thank you for this very inspiring video. I'm dealing with depression and ADHD, sometimes I think there are some manic feelings... so I will keep track of this. :)

[@cherylbalmas4901]

Excellent video. Very helpful and learned some new tips I can incorporate in my planning and journaling. Keep going girl! It’s so refreshing to see some new planner/journaling/notebook keeping content. Much needed!

[@angelinaaihara2977]

Subscribed. I plan/journal for my mental health with the goal of living a joyful and giving life of retirement. Thank you for your sensitivity and obviously vulnerable for you message for the rest of us. I struggle with feeling joy after working in a career not suited to me even with my accomplishments. I want my journaling to be meaningful as I progress in redefining what productivity is to me and reconnecting to my real passions in my life. You've given me some very good techniques to help me as I progress. I can see where it can help in self-awareness and learning lessons about myself. I am grateful you are here!

[@NotebookOverloadd]

So glad you enjoyed! I am grateful people have found my advice helpful :)

[@jeanradko5311]

Great video! I call my "Done" To Do lists "Ta-da" lists🎉. (I like a little fanfare 😂)

[@NotebookOverloadd]

Love Ta-Da list haha! Great name!

[@Freckles439]

This was great. Mental health and planners is always a great topic.

[@jlstrick1]

You did a fantastic job in presenting information in a kind and inclusive way. The examples you gave were so helpful and very relatable. Thank you for your quiet courage and vulnerability.

[@NotebookOverloadd]

Thank you for your wonderful comment 🥹🫶

[@ellesbooks]

As someone else with IBS whose insides melt if they eat too many takeaways… I related to this video 😅 thanks so much for posting this - I definitely put a lot of pressure on myself to journal as usual when I’m not feeling great, but these prompts seem way less overwhelming!

[@GTaichou]

I'm wandering into Journaling as a fresh newbie after realizing I crave the tactile activity to calm myself, and needed to get out of my head for the sake of my own mental health. What I find gives me anxiety is the feeling that I have to know what I'm doing, exactly how to lay out every day, and stick to that. The truth is, I can change my layouts as need to, depending on my needs, or as I learn what is important to track, how, and where. I believe this fits in your "embrace imperfection" - every day is a day for growth and change, and that's OK!

[@mikayamada8276]

I’m soooo happy I found your channel! I love your tone of voice, information and approachable way to journaling!!!

[@NotebookOverloadd]

Thank you so much!! So happy you like it :)

[@ej7362]

Good stuff, thank you ❤. Some people that talk about journaling for mental health - you can just tell it’s just a title for clicks. This felt genuine and I thank you for sharing. I remember one time sharing that at one point all I could write was #keepwriting. The hashtag made it seem lighter and cuter than it really was. Again, thank you for sharing.

[@minakoful]

Thank you for this! I’ve been binging all your videos. As a fellow neurodivergent person who has bad mental health days, this is so helpful! You are helping me take the pressure off of myself to have the perfect planner and have it work for me. Thank you!! ❤

[@GhostyLainSquee]

I got a day-free planner because I found that if I had a stretch of days where I was down or I just didn't have time to journal, it would stress me out/make me feel like I was wasting the book. Filling in the days as I see fit (or missing a few here and there) took a lot of that pressure away and allowed me to fill the book without the awkward empty sections. This also felt like I could have short entries if I didn't have much to say on a particular day, so I could have a couple days in one page or half entry, half decoration. Now and then, I'll use a page as a therapeutic 'decorating page' where it's just cute stickers or items in a collage. I think a lot of the things you talked about in the video would be perfect to mix in

[@sdb9884]

I’m going through some low energy days right now. The Done List is a great idea! I might have trouble with GLAD, but I think it would be helpful for me.

[@jacquelinestauffer5796]

I only just recently found your channel, and I think you are a very kind person who shares what you have learned in a very real and relatable way. I look forward to watching more of your videos because I think your point of view can help me. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your journey.

[@noelvn3]

Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate your addressing the fact that many of us go through difficult times during which mainstream productivity methods become a burden, or even toxic to out mental health. I liked getting a new angle on methods of my own similar to yours, and of course I came away with new ideas too. So thanks for all of that, and for your vulnerability in addressing this topic to begin with!

[@sujeyplans7720]

Thank you for sharing these resources! Who knew that about otters?! 😂 I’m use my planner for anxiety but it sometimes feels aimless and so I really appreciate your tips especially the GLAD method. Subscribing!

[@manalishinde7150]

Im autistic and very burnt out right now. This was very helpful, thank you!

[@NotebookOverloadd]

[@implozia1360]

The Done list sounds like the stuff I need and perhaps what I have done in the past in a way. Thank you for sharing your tips, it was really helpful and have been curious about how people where living with their own conditions/permanent effects in order to inform my own living.

[@lauraamb]

I just tried the GLAD method and I can tell you it helped me a lot. Thank you!

[@NotebookOverloadd]

So happy to hear it helped! ❤️

[@MeeplandHeights]

I appreciated this video so much for journaling ideas as someone mentally ill and trying to get into journaling to help but a little too scared to start as I never know what to write haha

Really enjoyed this video. Loved the fact about otters ❤️ Also I had never heard of the Glad method before, I thought it was a good idea and I want to give it a try, thank you for your content 😀👋🏻

[@catherinegrippo5889]

New subscriber here as well. I agree with many of the sentiments already shared in the comments. I am a bullet journaler but have been struggling lately with my Why for using one, undoubtedly a reflection of my current mental health. Your tips have brought new purpose to my bujo practice. Looking forward to future content.

[@NotebookOverloadd]

Glad to hear you enjoyed. Sending you positive vibes. 💛

[@StudiousMaiden]

You think otters holding hands is cute? Just you wait to see how they can be trained to surrogate orphaned baby sea otters. Just baby sea otters in general kill me with cuteness overload

[@susanspisak65]

Hi! New subscriber here… I came across your channel and I’m so interested in your content…. I would like to consider starting a commonplace journal …. Something to reflect on and then maybe some type of pass on to my grandchildren

New Sub! I loved this video. I had quit planning actually. I just needed to step away from all of it. And I have still been journaling because I need to and I love it. I like planning. But it can get overwhelming at times so I had been using just a monthly wall calendar for the past four months. N I wasn't getting things done in my home. Because planning helps me remember. I have PTSD and GAD. This video was sooo incredible helpful. Thank you.

[@NotebookOverloadd]

So happy it has been helpful. Sending you hugs & positive vibes for your planner journey. ❤️
