[@dmcour4geous]

❤1st year watching the collabs! Will go back and watch others!! Like the recap!! Thanks! For next year, some ideas for the planner tip edition might be using up your stash, how to use multiple planners according to needs, combining print outs within your planner, using up stickers, ways to cut out what the sticker says dnuse the other part of it. This might already of been done, like I mentioned, I need to go watch other year's collabs.

Great collaboration this year! I like the suggetion Sarah (Day 3) gave us on considering whether you want to toss it, archive or continue using it for ongoing years before you switch. Not all planners work for archiving. I never gave this much thought. thought.

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

Exactly! Thanks for watching Alma

Thanks for your excellent wrap up! I’ve been rocking with you and your annual collabs since its inception and this year did not disappoint! It’s inspirational to hear all of the different perspectives. It helps keep me encouraged to stay on my planning journey!

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

@pattititus6134 OG in the house. Thank you so so much for tuning in again. You are correct. This year, I did not disappoint at all, and I have some good tips to implement. We are happy that you find encouragement in the videos. See you on the next one 😁. Be blessed.

[@ThePlannerChannel]

Great collab again this year, Tamra! 💗💗💗 So many practical tips! For 2025, It would be interesting to watch the answers to the question… what unconventional ways do you use your planners?

[@planningcalm]

This was such a blessing! I learned so much from the tips in this collab and I am excited to implement them this coming year in my planner. Sometimes as planners we get so overwhelmed and paralyzed with indecision etc. that it affects our joy in planning. Chloetry's Shake off the Shame just hit so deep this year, haha! Thank you so much for the opportunity to share in this wonderful collab this year!! :)

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

@@planningcalm Yes, that tip is a whole movement 👏 😁. I am going to be shaking my way through 2025 😆.

I'm not quite done with the full collab, I found it several days in and watched up through day 15. Then life hit hard, health hit hard, and I've struggled to stay awake long enough to finish a short video. I'm doing better, but still working on finishing the collaboration. If I didn't comment now, it wouldn't get done. I was not familiar with most of the collaborators, so meeting a bunch of new planners is so cool. My takeaways. Evaluate, evaluate, evaluate. Once I pick the system I like to stick with it. I want to add and take away. I have very basic needs. I was planning to make major changes, but after evaluating what works for me, I will stick with the disc system and switch out inserts that fit my specific needs. So I'm Researching those now and looking at samples. I haven't printed any yet, but I've been taking notes, and I'm pretty sure I know what I'm ordering. Thanks for a great collab. For 2025, and not knowing what you've done in previous years, I'd love to know what indie brands you all use and why. Where did you find them? Did you start creating your own pages/inserts, and how? Can you tailor pages/inserts to your personal needs? Too broad a topic? 🤷‍♀️

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

@jennbidwelledwardson2885 I totally get it. Due to health issues and a few years ago, just walking to the mailbox required me to take a 3 hour nap to recover, lol. May God continue to heal and strengthen you each day. The other years are linked in the description box so you can watch at your leisure. Thanks for watching and commenting. See you on the next video.

[@blackgirlhappyplanner3482]

The planetary system comment was my favorite. That is exactly what we do but she's the first to put a name to it. Awesome 25 days. Thank you for doing this.

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

Yes, I love how she phrased that! Thanks for supporting the collab.

[@lisacannon9229]

Your collab was amazing! Thank you for it! I'm going from discbound Happy Planner back to my rings after a number of years. Got the Bella Grace all-in-one spiral that I disconstructed and punched. Feels better to go smaller and not needing to frankenplan.

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

@@lisacannon9229 Wonderful! Thanks for watching the collab and leaving a comment. See you on the next video 😁

[@teacherladyabc1124]

I think the best tip was to try a layout before investing in it-as an out of date cheap version. Free print out. Screen shot. Hand drawn. I have so many purchased regrets.

[@cyndic8769]

Love shake of the shame and to try for a certain amount of time.

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@Planadayshay]

"Shake off the shame" ( hand raised high in the sky!😊😂

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

Amen sista, lol

[@PlanSarahPlan]

Thank you for this terrific recap by category, Tamra! You are the very best, and congratulations on another great 25 Days collab!

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

Thank you for watching and commenting Sarah, I am glad you enjoyed the recap.

[@OKGramma1]

I’m off today so KZbin binging while I try to clean house a bit. Your video was suggested so I watched and enjoyed it. Just subscribed to your channel so now I’m off to another in the collab!

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

Thanks for subscribing and I hope you enjoy the rest of the collab!

[@T_O_C_TOWN_EXPRESS]

Awesome yearly wrap~up 📚📚📚 My 2025 idea dream question: If you owned a physical or digital stationery store, what would your stack include? To buy, sell, or trade, that is the quest.

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

Thank you for commenting and posting your question. Be blessed.

[@semccollum642]

My favorite tips were creating/printing out samples of the new system I want to move into while using my current system. Also to not feel pressure to perfectly move into the new planner as soon as January 1st hits. For 2025's question, how about narrowing down your stack/having a catch-all in 1-2 planners. I started out with daily journaling in middle school, then fell into the planner community hype and started adding more and more to my stack over the years (ex: health, fitness, habits, meal planning, to-do lists, monthly/weekly planning, to-do lists, budgeting etc). I already bought a bunch for my 2025 planner stack, but going into 2026, I want to figure out a way to cut that long list down to maybe 2-3 planners max. Systems I have used/am currently using are Happy Planner, Plum Paper Planner, Clever Fox, Live Love Posh, Rongrong, and bullet journaling.

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

I agree. I tend to feel the pressure as well but the tip gave me a level of mental freedom, lol.

[@Planadayshay]

Great recap! This video has definitely been saved for future reference purposes! Lol

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

Side eye, lol. So much good information shared this year by all. Thanks again for joining us.

[@Planadayshay]

@@Thepaperandpengirl thank you for allowing me to participate! Keeping my fingers crossed that I will get a return invite lol!

[@Seadoochkable]

Thank you for this! ❤️

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

You're welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it. 🙏

[@saltedcaramel-1]

Planner tips that I am actually implementing in 2025 are using outdated planner inserts, using digital downloads, and keeping the aspects of my current planner system that actually work for me. Next Years topic could be Make planning fun ,Do you use stickers and washy, Do you use colorful planner covers . Do you use markers , Do you light a candle to relax . How do you make planning enjoyable?

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

Wonderful planner Collab topic @candace0, and great tips to implement. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@TiffTiff417]

My two favorite and most needed tips were from Laken: What are your nonnegotiables? and Day 8: What is missing from your current planner? For 2025: Accessories - How to find what works best for you quickly since your life is so busy.

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

Powerful questions indeed. Thanks for supporting the collab!

[@myriaml3714]

My take away were: 1. know your preferences before buying 2. Try your planner during a certain amount of time and during that time DO NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE just in case (OMG help me with that one 😂) 3. Know in advance the end purpose of it cause this will help you decide of what type of system you will buy 4. Know the flow of information ie How your brain like to capture and store information (when you have a phone call where will you instinctly write the information: in the inbox? a dedicated section? a notebook?). My 2025 ideal question is : How to choose the right planner for you?

[@Thepaperandpengirl]

I need help with #2 as well, lol. We haven't even hit 2025 yet and I am already thinking of which planners and covers I want to buy next, smh. Great future Collab topic idea as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.
