Plan with Me! | February 2017

[@anitalebeau1238]

I don't even plan like you do, and I still enjoy these so much. Your tiny handwriting is so beautiful!! Katy's stickers are beautiful, and I've met her and she is just as lovely as you can imagine!! I hope you'll share the photos of the new nightstands with your new headboard. Have a wonderful week.

[@makeupTIA]

Oh, that's a good idea, Anita! I'd love to show off the headboard especially. I'm still really impressed with it. :D

[@julianeubauer1416]

I totaly love to watch your videos. Even if it's not a topic, that I find TOTALY interesting ... the way you talk and explain things always is great. :)

[@makeupTIA]

Thank you, Julia! That means a lot. ♥️

[@krissasplans8702]

First video i watch fron your channel and i love it. love the planner, love the system ( well the glimpse of it anyway), love your attitude and joyfulness. I've seen sooo many videos over the years but yours is a breath of fresh air. Love it all. Tks for sharing.

[@MaryHeatherB]

Getting Things Done is great. I read it a few years back and it made a huge difference for me! Learning to wright down *everything* and break down projects into smaller actionable tasks were two game-changers that seem obvious in retrospect, now that they are ingrained habits, but gosh they made a difference when I started to implement those things!

[@makeupTIA]

That's awesome that it's a habit for you, Mary Heather - can't wait until I get there! 💃 Feeling really good about it so far.

[@GailFuhlman]

All of your videos, I always find something new, and new things that I might us in my planner. I am trying to do this year a little difference by using Inkwell A5 Flex, also brought the other one to try and I ended up back with the Flex. This is such a big change since I have been using Franklin Covey(Franklin Quest), for over 20 years.

[@katiescally1801]

Finding this months later and so incredibly helpful! Hope you're doing well and will come back to us soon! Can't wait to see the next installment!! I need this in my life!

[@Palmettotwins]

The baseball team in Asheville- the Tourists-also wears those colors. Really cool to see that connection.

[@weeklystruggle4205]

I would love to see a washi collection video by the way! the little storage you have for it looks so cute too

[@shannanrothery3553]

I love your intro music and how you film these planning videos! I read the Getting Things Done book, so I'm very interested to see how you use the method/process ☺

[@arumituyub8018]

I really love your planner videos. I just bought the GTD book and so far I'm loving it. Hope it helps me too.

[@itssamanthabelle]

I love planning and I have erasable makers, pens, and highlighters I got here in Japan but you can find on Amazon and it makes me feel SO much better when I don't have to cross things out if plans change! Frixion is the brand and they write so smooth and clear and full color!

[@frostiemu]

Really interested in this new planning method! I am a huge list maker but like you mentioned in your earlier video, my lists are not at all manageable and things get lost! I'm hoping to find a solution to help me increase productivity this year too!! TFS

[@kimroberts8113]

Love this! Such a lovely balance between deco and functional planning. More GTD videos.. I'm a big fan of the method 😊

[@sarahm1894]

I absolutely love your PWM videos. so inspiring!!!! I am reading the GRD book currently so I am really looking forward to seeing in details how you incorporate it to your planning routine!

[@reginahughes3383]

Curious what your morning routine is like!

[@makeupTIA]

Have you heard of Hal Elrod and his Miracle Morning Routine? There is a book that goes through it in detail, but, if you googled it, I'm sure a synopsis of the steps would come up - basically a time for silence (prayer, meditation, or breathing), affirmations (I bought a little box of affirmation cards for this step), visualization, exercise (this is the step where I stumble most often), reading, and scribing (journaling). : )

[@MissJoanna17]

Regina Hughes me too! I would to see your morning routine in action, especially since you work out of the house unlike many KZbinrs.

[@andreamc7351]

makeupTIA you should do a video about your morning routine! I'd love to see it!! X

[@101NINNY]

I really enjoy your planning videos, just wondering when we can see your next one on the getting things done method

[@coolacharc6254]

Hi Ashley! Would you consider doing a video on meal prep / work lunches you bring? I'm also trying to bring my own lunch but so far everything seems too bothersome or doesn't keep well!

[@makeupTIA]

Hey! All I've been doing lately is bringing leftovers from dinner or bringing a giant salad + snacks. I love Pinch of Yum's Rainbow Salad (recipe on their blog). I also bought a Bentgo salad box from Amazon that makes transport really easy. : )

[@coolacharc6254]

+makeupTIA oh I see! Thanks for the tips :)

[@sarahkieny2083]

Love your videos. You speak so knowledgeably and compellingly. Also, your handwriting is #goals!

[@Cuteangel357]

I miss your planning videos so much that I just rewatch your old ones :) Hope you make more soon!

[@makeupTIA]

Thanks for watching! I haven't had as much time to do "pretty" planning lately, so I'm not sure when the next video will be.

[@SallyBoebally]

I was stoked to see a video from you in my sub box! You're one of my favourites :) x

[@makeupTIA]

Thanks for watching, Sally!

[@neonboxers]

Would love to see a video of what kind of lunches you are taking to work! I want to start bringing my lunch to work again (it makes me feel put together too, in a small way lol) and need some ideas. Love your videos! :)

[@makeupTIA]

I'm so boring! It's either leftovers from dinner or the Pinch of Yum Rainbow Chicken Salad (the dressing is the best part!). I got a Bentgo salad box from Amazon - makes putting together my lunch kind of fun. : )) Also, do you watch Mind over Munch? A lot of viewers recommended her videos to me - she has great ideas!

[@katieswitzer7256]

yes, would also love to hear more about your morning routine !

[@makeupTIA]

Hey, Katie! I'm going to paste in my response to another comment. Basically, I try to follow Hal Elrod's Miracle Morning Routine - a time for silence (prayer, meditation, or breathing), affirmations (I bought a little box of affirmation cards for this step), visualization, exercise (this is the step where I stumble most often), reading, and scribing (journaling). : )

[@TheBrazenGirl]

Your handwriting is goals!! So neat and instagrammable :)

[@mfshope6486]

You must be going through a huge adjustment with Jer's schedule. Two weeks away? Yikes! Excited to watch this & look forward to a video on breaking down the inbox method. It looks like you understand it better than I do. I love how you print too ;o)

[@makeupTIA]

I know...it felt a lot longer than two weeks!. It seems like his jobs goes through seasons - months at home and then all of the sudden a lot of travel. I might go out to visit him during his March trip which would be fun. : ))

[@Natalie-cv9jd]

Do you use a ruler to cross stuff out on your inbox list? Perfection!

[@autumnkinz]

Not sure what you love to read, but I heard about a book I'm really interested in on NPR this morning. Lincoln and the Bardo. It's a historical fiction, surprisingly about the ghost of Lincoln's son, William, who died at age 12. Fascinating!

[@irenechanubc]

have you considered using an online organization system like Trello? I think they can be integrated with outlook and would appeal to your list making interests and would help you to avoid having to rewrite lists by hand, which takes a lot more time.

[@kathrynsurathu576]

Thanks for yet another delightful video! Super random, but I saw the Health Warrior bars in the end of the video on a Target list. I tried them via Vitacost (I think from your recommendation) last year, and we love the apple cinnamon one. Today I saw Wegmans is selling singles of both the protein bars and the chia bars which seems like a good way to try out new flavors, especially since previously I've only seen the big packs there which run $15-$20ish. They were in the soup/hot bar/salad bar kind of area at least at the store closest to me in MD. I love having one in my bag to reduce hangry moments and crummy food choices!

[@lupitacisneros]

What a coincidence, I just posted a planner flip through on my channel!!! I love these planner videos!😊

[@cevec99]

Yay! Love your plan with me videos :) You introduced me to Inkwell Press and Luckaty stickers, and I'll forever be grateful!! You seem to use your Inkwell so much better than I use mine - this is my second year of using one, and I guess I'm still getting my head around it all! Have to admit, though it sounds terrible, you have no idea the sense of relief I felt when I saw your daily habit trackers...mine are neglected woefully haha. Anyway - love your channel and your content, thank you :)

[@nancys180]

I love every single one of your plan with me videos, keep 'em coming!! :-D Curious to know if you keep another binder for your finances? Obviously without asking you to share anything too personal, just wondering what a broad overview of what your system is like? :)

[@edelobrien8416]

Can you do a video on the gtd method and how you're using it in your planner in detail?? 😊

[@makeupTIA]

Yes! I still have more to read, but once I'm comfortable with it, expect a video dedicated to it. : ))

[@wahidamt]

I love your handwriting!

[@makeupTIA]

Thank you!!

[@Sophi023]

New subscriber and new to the planner world, looking forward to your next video!

[@christymarshall6844]

Looking forward to your video showing what you've learned from GTD! I have the book and hope to start it soon! Do you carry your planner with you at work? Do you take it into meetings? I'm trying to find the best way to implement work and personal into one, with some decoration, but it still look professional.

[@makeupTIA]

Hi, Christy! Yes, my planner goes back and forth with me pretty much every day. I do take it into meetings, but I tend to keep it open to the back (less color and stickers there lol). When I worked in a big office, though, I took my Erin Condren into meetings, and it actually started some conversations. : )

[@sarahjennings3209]

Hey, do you remember were you got your a5 insert ruler? I love how big it is and that its clear!

[@makeupTIA]

Hey, Sarah! Have you seen the new planner section in Michaels? The ruler came in a set of two (the other one is small) - I love them! : )

[@maggiedalton6196]

I need more organization!! I guess I have to get a new planner! :)

[@ginamiller6754]

I found your planner videos & love them, however I don't see any after Feb. 2017. Did you stop doing planning videos or am I just not finding them?? I enjoy all of your videos & your voice is enjoyable & soothing.

[@beautypatels]

How do you store your 2016 inserts? Do you leave it in another binder? I'm thinking about changing over from the inkwell press planner to the A5 inserts for 2018. Love your planning videos!!

[@dorcasgonzales3828]

I love your videos!....So helpful

[@makeupTIA]

I'm so glad! Thanks, Dorcas. ♥️

[@robynkahle7240]

The iPad case is so so cute, can you share where it's from? Love your planner videos best!!!

[@makeupTIA]

Thanks, Robyn! The case is from Target. : ))

[@robynkahle7240]

makeupTIA so sorry, you are so thorough. I just didn't see it at first, thank you

[@lillyhanh3496]

Please do an essential oils video! 😁

[@makeupTIA]

Yes! That's on my list! :D

[@irma_arricivita]

Your Plan with Me videos are my favorite. And I just received Luckaty's Pretty Valentine kit the other day. I live overseas so it takes a while for Katy's mail to reach me.

[@greylilycalligraphy]

I'm wondering if the inkwell press could fit into the Gillio holders? @makeupTIA

[@bugsmom63]

Hi Ashley! You are so inspiring! Where did you get your planner rulers?

[@makeupTIA]

Michaels! : ) They came in a set together.

[@lisadipinto7767]

Love your video :) I am wondering where you got the pink washi tape with the red/orange flowers? Thank you!

[@makeupTIA]

Hi, Lisa! I bought it at Michaels. It came in one of the tubes of coordinating washi. : )

[@Dedpancreas]

Do you have any interest in doing more vlogs? I really enjoyed watching your trip to NYC and your vlog clips are always so well edited!

[@makeupTIA]

Thanks, Robin! If I travel at all this spring or summer, I'd love to do another vlog. I'm so glad I have the NYC one to look back on - great memories. : ))

[@atta-myworld3501]

I love your videos!!!

[@ThePlannerPlaceCo]

Your nail polish is beautiful 👏🏻 I'm going to guess-Essie gel polish in Satin Slipper?

[@makeupTIA]

Good guess (you know my love of Essie well)! I actually think that is going to be the next polish I use. :D This one is the Nail Inc. Illuminator - when I don't have time for a full manicure, that's an easy one to grab.

[@ThePlannerPlaceCo]

makeupTIA 😄 doesn't the color look amazing!?! You will have to update us if you do👍🏼I've never tried Nails Inc but this has made me curious & I would've never guessed it wasn't a full mani. Great video as always 💜

[@makeupTIA]

Well, don't look too closely then! I totally dinged my thumb while I was pouring tea right before this video. I was so mad at myself and tried to keep that thumb off camera lol.

[@ThePlannerPlaceCo]

makeupTIA lol I couldn't tell but I've been there! Yesterday I smashed my nail opening my classroom door..the struggle of my nails...it's real

[@georgiemoore8197]

Are you still using essential oils? If you are, would you do an update video? PS, I love your videos! I was so excited when I saw you were using oils, but then you stopped mentioning them. I was wondering if you stopped?

[@seasonalliving2881]

May I ask where your music is from? Its always beautiful! :)

[@plainjaneb]

Love all those gorgeous stickers and washi tape. :)

[@makeupTIA]

♥️ Thanks for watching, Jane! ps - it finally got cold (it's actually flurrying right now), so I was able to wear my cowl today. I love it so much! Thank you!

[@plainjaneb]

Yay! I'm so glad!! xo

[@Lrcheer]

inkWell planner inserts are sold out and do not offer July17-July18 as an option. Do you recommend another brand or shop to purchase inserts?

[@nevemurska]

Love your iPad cover. May I ask where it's from?

[@makeupTIA]

Target ☺️

[@robynkahle7240]

makeupTIA sorry I saw that further down. Is it Speck? I can't find it online and I really need a new case, it's gorgeous.

[@makeupTIA]

Yes! I linked it in the description box too. : )

[@truthlover4585]

Hi Ashley! Love your videos! Question though, I clicked the link you provided for your Kiki -k binder and it looks like they don't sell yours any longer. Soooo disappointing....how long ago did you purchase yours? Thanks!

[@makeupTIA]

Hi, Tanisha! It was a Christmas present. It came in a holiday box with some stickers; so it might have been limited edition. Simple Stories' Carpe Diem planners have a similar interior with the polka dots. : )

[@truthlover4585]

ahhhh....Lol! I was working on ordering it as you were responding to me. Too funny! Thanks

[@slporter722]

You may have mentioned this but what kind of pen do you use for your planner?

[@slporter722]

Niyah Rivera thank you for pointing that out....! I thought she was using that pen...I'm using it too and love it.

[@Semper36X]

Where did you get your ruler inserts and the shorter inserts with the gold diagonals? I am looking everywhere

[@makeupTIA]

Michaels! In the new planning section : )

[@dscott1968]

hi, would you be able to link the graph paper... it looks perfect

[@makeupTIA]

Sure! Just added a link to the description box. It's from Handy Forms on Amazon. : )

[@makeupTIA]

+Jenna Bean for some reason, I can't respond to your comment. I'm going to paste my answer here in case you come back to look - "No, I use them everyday! They are so fun (I actually placed another order this afternoon with Edens Garden). : ) When I first started, though, I didn't fully realize the safety aspect. I've learned a lot from the Facebook group I mentioned, and I've ordered some books. I just want to be very careful when I talk about them next. I'm thinking that the video I do will be my top EOs, accessories, and how I use them on a daily basis. : )"

[@kbKHRONICLESk2b]

I love your videos! Your KZbin sticker from Katy is amazing. There is an ETSY shop called Yellow Paper House. They have inserts for the A5 (various patterns and colors) at a better price point. $9.50/50 sheets. Great quality paper.

[@makeupTIA]

Aren't Katy's stickers so cute? I'm thinking through my next order. The new Patty Chic and the updated Rosie sets are calling my name. 😍 Thanks for the Etsy shop recommendation!

[@kbKHRONICLESk2b]

Just got Patty Chic today and it is gorgeous! You're welcome!

[@bethvonluehrte6303]

Curious where you found the Inkwell color scheme paper at the start of your video?

[@makeupTIA]

Katy from Luckaty on Etsy sent it to me. : )

[@wendyamori]

What kind of pen do you use?

[@traciwheatley1563]

The link for your Goodreads account says your profile is set to private and I can't figure out how to add a friend through the app if we're not friends through FB...😟

[@weeklystruggle4205]

your handwriting is like done by the computer 0.0 wow!

[@TheHBMINISTRIES]

Hi Ashley! I am looking to switch to ink well press and was wondering if you still plan that way? Could you post an updated planner routine for me! Love your planning style! Clean and to the point you are! Thanks heather! check my you tube out when you can! Love your channel!

[@haitress]

I love your style and plan me with videos but it would be great to switch up the content a bit- 3 of the past 6 videos have been some sort of plan with me videos...Its getting a little too much and the only reason I point this out is cause I love your videos and wait for them to pop into my inbox all week..You see so graceful and composed! The planner topic and content is getting a little repetitive- if you switched planner sor had a completely different system it would be great to see a planner video but with the same inkwell press things are getting boring...No hate...just love your channel and was giving feedback!

[@haitress]

Would love a full video on meal planning, your fave cookbooks, your reading challenge---there is so many other video ideas that would love to see from you!

[@makeupTIA]

Thanks for watching, Astha, and taking the time to leave feedback.

[@aledenra]

You don't have to watch them, you know.
