Planner 101 for beginners / Planner Must Haves

[@Lola.004]

This is a really good beginner video. You show all the different options, and supplies. I wish I had this as reference when I first started. For those who feel their brains exploding, remember to just start with a couple of things. I first started collecting all the pretty stickers and washi tape on sale from Michael’s and Dollarama , and then couldn’t decide which to use because they were too pretty to write on, etc. So, I stopped buying and diying and started using what I have. Thanks for sharing, Lola xo

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

Thank you for your positive comment and including a great tip to share with the others! Have a wonderful day! 💗

[@msneedegirl418]

I'm new to planning, and I must say this is one of the best video related to planning for beginners. Thank you for this video and breaking down suggestions and ideas.

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

Thank you! I am so glad you found it helpful! Happy Planning!

[@abrahamlopez-enriquez3436]

It's been 3 years, how have you done?

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

You have a calming voice. Not many people do. Some people I CANNOT listen to but I love your calming voice.

[@denise3203]

She's so awesome. I feel like she builds a friendship with her audience. I appreciate your video and the coupons tha you linked. This was very helpful. God bless your heart

[@namasteplanning9271]

love this video. I've been planning since middle school like writing everything down for the week, then when I started youtube 6 years ago I went into more extreme planning lol. now this year I decided to make decorating a hobby and so excited for this planner community! it's so fun already

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

That is awesome! I love the planning community!

[@jk7_v]

What's ur KZbin channel I'll subscribe

[@carlasaunders7717]

excellent video, would have loved to have seen this back in 2014 when I first started buying way too many planners and stuff...the money I've wasted...I hope others will seek this video out...thanks for sharing.

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

Thank you so much for that sweet comment!

[@justtammy]

I just found a helpful tip for those planners. White Out!!! #GameChanger lol

[@im2cuteferu]

I just got my first happy planner and a book of stickers. So cute and fun!

[@rhondamabley]

Thank you for doing this video. I am restarting a planner after many many years. I used to plan so much stuff I drove my family nuts. I purchased a happy planner and have all the sticker books. I have also purchased weekly sets. It's so therapeutic and I love keeping track of my week.

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

You welcome!! :-) How exciting! I started with the first release of the Happy Planner before they had sticker books and some many options. So I agree the Happy Planner is a really fun option! You will enjoy it! Just don't stress yourself out to much, just think of it as a functional and creative outlet. :-)

[@cherrypieparker]

My OCD says PLAN!! My anxiety says STOP!! My depression says DO IT! then DONT DO IT! Ugh. Why am I here?

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Lol... I'm here to see of I can learn anything that will help me, definitely not to copy or even be very similar because this is so not my style. (Im not a super decorator of my planners, I usually don't even use included stickers, lol.) But I feel like I will probably learn one or two things that will be very helpful.

[@laritaskipper7686]

Oh my word!! I feel exactly the same way!!

[@ruthlloyd1163]

Kat 😂

[@brooks-gs]

Kat I feel your pain I am in a pretty similar position, with conflicts between my mental disorders. I find it very therapeutic to put stickers and add colour to the week, even if the well done is just for getting the laundry on.

[@rockingscents2951]

Omg me! I understand ur feeling 😬 but i got a planner just to try

[@abookishheart7205]

I got my first Happy Planner . Thanks for the video. I have most of those same pens. I like the papermate flair ones

[@Sakitokun]

I'm getting my first Erin Condren planner next week and I have no idea how far this can go. I just got into watching plan with me videos and I was wowed. This video definitely showed me where I should start! Thank you! I was for the most part just learning the lingo and what pens to use so I don't smudge the pages :)

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

Congrats on getting your new planner! Welcome to the Planning Community! Just have fun with it and see where it takes you :-)

[@annmurry8589]

I like the A5 ringbound binder filled with folded grid paper (graph and gradebook), and bullet paper with extra scrapbooky inserts like brochures from events, sticker pockets, and card colecter pockets. I kept the monthly calendars but ditched tbe daily meal planning. My weekly/ dailies are very simple 1p (half spread) horizontal. I use highlighters, brush pens, sharpie fine point, ball point, mechanical pencil, washi tape, semitransparent flags, and stickers (especially emoji faces but also one mambi book and gold bordered labels for quotes and verses). I customized a pack of patterned semitransparent dividers and use colorful plastic paperclips as bookmarks. I also already had a pack of symbol stamps and got a pack of stencils.

[@christiebolden3953]

The Frixon pens are awesome! I first found them while buying school supplies at my local grocery store. I used them to do the employee time cards. Because I don’t like scratching mistakes out or using white out!

[@abundantliving5444]

This was the very very best planner video as far as breakdown extremely useful information! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@susieq1968]

New to planners, thank you for one of the best videos that describes everything. Thank you and Happy New Year 2022!

[@gumbomomma1971]

Extremely informative for a first time planner thanks for explaining everything so well💛

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

[@mycrazylifeinthesouth]

This is great for planner newbies and seasoned planners, as well.

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

Thank you! I am so glad you thought so! Have a wonderful day!! 😀

[@CHRISTINESHANUS]

Target dollar spot is heaven!!! Etsy is my favorite spot for planner stickers. I’m in deep . It’s an obsession

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

LOL YES! it is easy to fall down the rabbit hole of planning! Target Dollar Spot doesn't carry stationery goodies like they used to a few years back .however it still has great items worth checking out! :-) Happy New Years!

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

@PLAN WITH NIC LOL I AGREE!

[@Ellaodi]

I wish I had seen this when I had first started planning you are amazing thank you for doing this!

[@simpleMarian]

[@Tybrady9]

Thank you so much for breaking the plan with me. I am just starting out and I have been doing good so far but I want to do more and stay on top of it. I will make a list of what I need and write down how I want to do my planner. Thank you so much.😊😊😊😊

[@17sunnysideup]

[@lamonehoke]

I am new to planning and found your video essential to gathering my planner supply items, thank you, great video!

[@andreagreen571]

This has to be the best by far newbies planning video. You explained everything very well. Having references made things make a lot of sense. I am not new to planning but I was also able to pick up some tips and tricks. Thank you for sharing.

[@valeriecameron5478]

I really loved watching and especially LISTENING to your presentation. Your voice is just amazingly calmative and your inner self reveals that your organization is not just a planner book, calendar, or lifestyle; but, it is reflective of your personality. So with that being said... you are the first planner subscription I've registered with to receive more of your helpful hints and suggestions.

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

I want to thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful comment! I really appreciate people like you who spread positivity to others! Have a wonderful day Ms. Valerie!

[@dewy195]

*Try's to get into planning because my life is a mess* "Ok planing for beginners, nice..." *20 MINUTES LATER* "..." *BRAIN EXPLODES*

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

The easy way: 1. Grab a pen and planner of choice. 2. Start writing down the important things you need to keep track of. HTH :-)

[@servantrose]

you mean 5 minutes later....

[@rubyslippers6716]

I am cracking up right now😂😂😂😂😂

[@IsabellaDemarko]

[@lebu5825]

Hands down the best video! The best tips, very thorough, well explained and the savings!!!!! You have opened up the Pandora box for me girl. Now I’m only hoping I don’t get too much time out of my day to decorate my work planner, but if I do, and I’m at work, wouldn’t that be considered working? 😏

[@coachgladyscruz343]

Awwww I want to do my planner like yours..filled all up

[@BigChrissyCarter]

I just started planning this year with an official planner. I have the Happy Planner vertical style from Micheal's I like it so far. I haven't gotten into the stickers or fun yet, I'm a little afraid to, but I know if I did it, I would be obsessed. Baby steps, I know. lol Great video!!

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

LOL! Yes girl, baby steps! It is easy to become obsessed with wanting to get EVERYTHING planner related! ;-)

wow! thank you so much for this vid. I just received my very first EC vertical planner, and was lost. can not ''CAN NOT'' afford to do every week in fancy planning. I am a scrapbooker and card maker so I have tons of that craft I can use. Like the idea of printing off stickers, so that will be my first save. thank you again for sharing.

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

Yes, I came from scraping first too! My first planner had a lot of pattern paper, washi and stamps. You can find people decorating a number of ways. I say just do what is fun and works for you. :-)

[@monisharmuk]

I really enjoyed your video. I love the simplicity of it for a beginner like myself. I appreciate the tip of starting off with Target Dollar Spot 🎀. I just became familiar with this trend a couple of weeks ago. I am a scrapbooker, crafter and also a bargain shopper. I am a perfectionist and organizer so I believe a planner will help me to be more efficient with my time 💜. Thanks for sharing & blessings 🌹. I just subscribed to your channe.

[@fruitfullspirit]

I love this video! I'm a 1st time viewer & I love your format & easy to follow suggestions. I would love to watch a video on how you made your sticker book!! It would really help newbies and those who struggle with organization. I can't wait to watch more of your videos!

Great video. I just went through this process this past year. I determined I am a function planner and this year I am rest driving the hourly format and NEED to set a budget cause one can easily get carried away !!🤑

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

Thanks!! I agree that it takes some self control! It can be easy to go over board with spending on planner supplies and goodies! For newbies just start slow. For seasoned planners try to stay with in a budget. :-)

[@MrsMomNextDoor]

Hi! If you have a printer than I recommend printable inserts to refill your planner. You can find freebies on Pinterest or Etsy.com has a ton of shops that offer printables. I believe they are affordable is because once you download the file you can always print them again. HTH :-)
