♥ Frequently Asked Questions ♥
Q: Do you plan before, during, or after the week?
A: It varies from video to video, but typically I plan 2-3 times during the week and stitch the clips together. I rarely plan the entire week in advance or the entire week retroactively.
Q: Do you use all of these planners?
A: Yes and no. Every week, there is something in my life that takes priority over the others whether it be school, work, or something personal. Depending on the week, I select a few planners that will help me achieve my tasks! So not every planner is used every week.
Q: How do you get so much done in a day?
A: If you watch any of my journaling vlogs, you’ll realize that I have very poor sleeping habits and so naturally I’m able to fit more things into the day. It’s something I’m trying to fix but admittedly this is the only reason.

I’m a big fan of this leftovers idea for a video. I’m always trying to use up old kits and keeping an eye out for which old kits match my new kits. I don’t post my spreads online, but I like that my spreads end up not looking like the ones online because those seem to only use new stickers. I think it’s a fun and funky end result, and it’s less wasteful! Thanks for this, Helen!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

You worded it perfectly!! I love the unique funky look as well hehe

[@tracyteaches8747]

I love the idea of using leftover stickers. Its my goal this year to get rid of all of my leftovers and then stock up around November.

[@junimocove]

"does anyone else get super excited when they have the perfect sticker for something?" yes helen, that's why i own hundreds of your sticker sheets :D Also I love the date covers, I need them!

[@marzettik]

Yes, there is definitely a elated feeling when finding the absolute perfect sticker. Even when it’s for something basic like taking out the trash, lol. ❤

[@kpopgirl1992]

Consider getting a pair of sticker tweezers! They really help with putting stickers down straight. Especially the super tiny ones!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

This is a great suggestion!!

[@anajacobi3022]

I love these! Please make these for the Hobonichi a6 too. It would be great to have the sizes for the daily and weekly for all the Hobonichis.

[@jandjmom]

Thank you for showing creative ways to use up sticker stash left overs.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

My pleasure, thank you for watching!!

[@valeriesamouillan]

I love the date covers! Really cute! And you're right, even though the stickers don't match, the spread looks cohesive... I personnally don't like "wasting" stickers so I like to finish the sheets on random spreads. It's sometimes an interesting look, but I like it!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Valérie!!! Hehe I agree!

[@deniseholmes7958]

OMG! Those date cover stickers are adorable. Thank you for coming up with covers for the Sunday red! Can't wait til they're both available in the shop!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Sooo happy you like them Denise!!

[@Cafe_Scribbles]

Love how you say readings (with an s). I picture little Helen in a silk turban and flipping over tarot cards 😆😍 Love your videos!

[@margaritathurman5007]

Helen I laughed so hard when you said JANKY ! I say that all the time ! I love using leftovers and think your spread looks great !

[@kasiBERRY]

I can’t say enough how much I enjoy watching your plan with me videos. I haven’t been planning a lot lately due to major surgery 2 months ago. You are inspiring me to get back into planning again. :)

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Aww thank you so much Kimmie! Please take it easy

[@ultimatecin_73]

I love the date covers. So cute!

[@amycampbell2264]

Yes love the date covers!!

[@lyndsayhammond6884]

I would love to see videos of organizing the new office space ❤

[@MishaMaze]

Love that Pilates sticker

[@wendyhoward2699]

You are always working! Your stickers and other supplies are so wonderful. Many blessings.

[@Alexandra_Sakhalin]

Привет с Сахалина! Из России 😊отличная идея дать себе время на удовольствия - почитать, йога, порисовать, поспать😂да все что приносит удовольствие (плавание например). У меня весь этот год под девизом - люби себя и дай себе время для хобби. А то режим работа-дом-работа , вгоняют в депрессию🎉

[@1001reasons1968]

The colours seem very harmonious to me because they are similar tones of their colours. Pretty.

[@Cafe_Scribbles]

Def put those date covers in the shop! Just got my first cousin and need all the help I can get lol

[@ChantelleArts]

Wow, you've got stickers for everything!!

[@karakask5488]

I decided several months ago that my budget couldn't accommodate new sticker purchases, since everything has gotten more expensive. And after I did that I was surprised at how many stickers I had already! So now I'm trying to use them up before I buy more.

[@tatianavelasco1335]

love the zombie sticker!

[@CreatingWonderland]

Splendid spread and kudos for smashing so much of the stash! I love shopping my stash! It’s so crazy all the fun stuff we forget we have!

[@michelledelecki6224]

I would never be over that fountain pen. it's gorgeous 😍

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Me tooooo! My forever love hehe

[@draganascrafts]

I love the date covers! I’d love it if you would put them in your shop 💕

[@michelledelecki6224]

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

I will make it a priority to finish them up!!

[@gisellelopez4512]

Yes! Please bring the date covers to the shop!!! 😍

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

[@raniko6646]

Yes on the date covers- I love them and would love them to covering up the weekend gray/red boxes! Hope you have a great day~

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

I'm glad you like them Raniko! Have a great day as well!

[@dreuvasdevil9395]

I love your videos so much, thanks for posting.

[@anna7276]

Who needs a guy when you have Leonardo? I really feel your love for that pen! 🤣🤣🤣

[@mydogsmom9206]

Love the date covers! Your layout is beautiful - I love how you connected colors! Have a great week Helen🥰

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so so much!!!

[@jessicar4402]

The date covers are so cute, will you be showing us some of the warehouse set up behind the scenes I’m so excited for you to get your new space all set up as you’ve put so much time and effort working towards it.

[@cheryldailey5310]

I did this last week. 😅 I had bear kit leftovers from two different shops. They combined well together. This video was relaxing to watch. ❤

[@thebalancedbehavioranalyst]

Can’t wait for the testers to become available !!!!! Is there something fun to put over the month info for both the cousin and hobo -and Saturday and Sunday bother me too !! 😊

[@amandamendez2875]

I love and want those date covers!!!!❤❤ thank you for another great video😊

[@ramblinganna]

I would absolutely buy the date covers, I‘ve been looking for some, and none are what I want, but these are perfect 😍

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Anna, so so happy you love these!!

[@BrittanyBWrites]

I really love the idea of using leftover stickers. I'm trying to use up all of my stickers before I get some new ones to stock up on, but I really loved the spread, it was very cool :)

[@kimikobuford]

Happy Sunday Helen❤

[@ChristinaPlans]

I can't wait for those tester sheets?! They look great.

[@gwenmp29]

I've done a few franken-plans before and I like it.

[@nanavteague]

Love this video. Also would need just a sheet with Saturday and Sunday date covers

[@user-lg1pc7ds2p]

❤😂good idea 💡

[@imgriss]

Hi Helen, the emoti date covers (numbers) is really cute! Just want to let you know that I believe the Hobonichi Cousin English Ver. has different box sizes. You might want to look it up, or put a specific information for these stickers :)

[@Angel6_]

Love the date covers, would they fit vertical planners as well? Excited to watch! ❤

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

It definitely depends on the planner!!!

[@Angel6_]

@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Thank you!

[@madlibpoet]

Hello! For the weekly, do the times mean anything? or do you just use it as a big to do? Just trying to find my way! Thanks!!

[@goddessdejour]

The DATE STICKERS are really nice! Do you have any plans to sell them in a pack for the entire year like randiDOTplans does? Also, do you have any plans to sell them to also fit the daily HOBO Cousin pages? If not, can you consider it for Q1 and Q2?? 😬😬

[@jesiiiacosta9571]

❤❤

[@rui_mas]

hi Helen! Where is the zombie working girl sticker from? At 8:13?

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

bubbabearstudios!!!

[@Lisapsullivan123]

Have you moved into your new space yet? Hope when you are ready you will give us a tour.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Not yet! Currently building the shelves for our sticker storage!

[@brandonseerattan9452]

💞💗💖 What exist you reading on Saturday? I stand going over Love by Donna Ashworth. 💖💗💞

[@almaramirez2433]

Hey Helen wanted to ask if you have tried dangola coffee (whipped coffee), or if as a coffee regular it is too much work or too treat like. I’d love to know your opinion and/or reaction :)

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Hi hi!! I've actually never had it before! I typically just drink regular black hehe

[@aceofgraceofficial]

♥️♥️♥️ Gorgeous

[@SageWolfStudio]

What about emoti head booklets? I think those would sell well

[@triciat8009]

How are you liking that DeAtramentis black in your Hobo? Does it dry fairly quickly or are you having to be extra careful not to smudge the ink? I'm considering inking one of my pens in black and leaving it... just can't decide which pen. I feel like I'm putting it in prison, not letting it be inked in a color. Maybe I'll have to buy one specifically with that in mind, so I won't feel so badly about it. 😂

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

LOVE!! I haven't had any issues with it and it writes super smoothly!

[@janeramsey6864]

What fountain pen are you using? And how does one get in on your subscription pack? Thanks!

[@marthalentz]

Hi Helen... Your video was really fun to watch. Question: What is a "Rom Com"? (sp?)

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Martha!! Rom Com stands for Romantic Comedy!

[@elainelane7130]

When is the next release date?

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

to be announced! it'll be mid-late June ^_^

[@lampoon2057]

Hiii can i please have a video about how you hold your pen?❤

[@lampoon2057]

Pleaasseee stop ignoring me😂❤

[@Angel6_]

She has handwriting videos up on her channel.

[@bSidesTheRoadTaken]

Instead of two small stickers for the date and day, will there be an option for one date header sticker for all dates per month as part of your subscription?

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

That's a great idea but unfortunately not! The subscription is meant for all planners so I don't include items meant for specific planners in there, if that makes sense XD

[@sweethaven5]

9:33 You are SUPER WOMAN!!🦸‍♀️😊 from Ohio 🇺🇸

[@wendyhoward2699]

You are always working! Your stickers and other supplies are so wonderful. Many blessings.
