Setting Up A Notebook In Your Planner

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Hey Guys! In today's video, I'm sharing how I set up my notebook sections in my planner. I love using extra journal paper in my planner to keep up with additional things outside of daily planning. If you have additional ideas for a notebook within your planner. Leave them in the comments! :)

[@shelliekraft2712]

Thanks

[@lifeaszahara102]

The Organized Money - where can I find a planner like the one you are using

[@ReneeDavisWOW]

I LOVE your videos! So many youtube channels about planners and managing life but yours is amazing! Thank you so much

[@kristenpeterson3930]

I love that you used the TUL cover over the wild styled cover-it’s so professional looking. So many good ideas in this video.

[@randr4ever]

Loved your idea on the routines sticky note! I'm definitely implementing that from now on. Thanks for sharing.

[@kinjalp3177]

You inspire me to plan and to work hard ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@loriblackmon-ambienttraveler]

I am learning so many great things from you. I was thinking today that I’m as close to planner happiness than ever. You have really helped me get a great solid routine. Thanks Alaina!!

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Thank you!!

[@jillsfindings339]

Wow, I found your videos and I love them. I am binging your videos tonight!! Thank you for the detailed, meaningful and very thoughtful information. You gave me an idea that I am using in my notebook; A list of your videos that I have watched and an asterisk next the ones I will want to rewatch, to mark down the information I want to remember. Keep making your videos. They are great!

[@cdholland98]

Excellent ideas!!! Loved the AM/PM routines page. Adding the notes pages at the front is so simple and so genius!

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Thank you!!

[@dvf4550]

You have some great ideas. I especially like the brain-dump-at-the-front idea. Btw, I love listening to you speak. You have a beautiful way of enunciating your words.

[@cherichowdhury9780]

I also use the big hourly planner. I read somewhere that those come out with the releases for January, we will have to keep our eyes out then.

[@melanieannplans2666]

I'm not using a Happy Planner specifically, but I LOVE your idea for using sticky notes to adjust your morning/evening routines! I use a bullet journal for the majority of my planning, and since I'm temporarily not working for a few months but I still have daily meetings to attend for a few weeks, my routine that I'm currently on will change once I go back to work. What a great way to keep EVERYTHING organized in one place!

[@emazey5044]

Yep, some great ideas I can put into practice right away, sticky note with washi tape and cleaning section with home projects love these!

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Thank you!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@mommymarine1756]

Me too! I’m definitely making something similar for my bullet journal.

[@lynnwasley5032]

I am very thankful to you for making this detailed video on how your planner is set up and the detailed share of how you use each of your planner together to make your system

[@tanesharichardson8437]

Hallelujah for the AM/PM Routine hack. Sweet Goodness that is a wonderful idea. I was having the same problem. Also what a wonderful way to use all those sticky notes and washi in a different way. Thanks!

[@rebecca7697]

Thank you so much for sharing the Notebook sections and how you put it all together. You have no idea how much I appreciate the functional and clear ideas that you have shared. Thank You!

[@brilyncreates9804]

I love this, especially the sticky note idea! My routine has changed being virtually, so this is very helpful!

[@laughterislife1114]

Hi, I loved your video. This system is what I needed, thank you. I think a meal planning & prep schedule would be great to add. Also, a section for wellness that would include; spiritual, mental, fitness, & medical trackers. Thank you for the inspiration, I was fitting to throw the whole idea of "trying to get myself organized & together" away. You're a lifesaver & I can't wait to begin to implement this new system.

[@tarabatts1063]

I love this type of organing. WOW, I truly need you in my life...Definitely a wonderful life coach

[@stacykhernandez]

When I made my franken planner, I wanted it to be very similar to yours...I couldn't even find a 2020 hourly layout haha. So what I do is use the vertical layout for my catch all and break up the boxes to morning afternoon and evening, then I write the time in if I have any meetings or appointments. So far, it's working!

[@consciouswallet-cashenvelo6930]

Your organizational skills are amazing!

[@marthalowery1608]

Hi Alaina! You can find pages for hour, 30 minute or 15 minute increments at Etsy that are for A4 or A5 size. That should fit in your Happy Planner big or A5 size. Hope that helps! Martha

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Yay!! Thank you so much!!

[@amandaandrewshatfield8906]

I finally received a response back from customer service about the hourly layouts...."Oh dear! As of now we do not have an update, BUT. Soon we will. So, stay tune! =)" ....I"m praying that it means they will release some by January?!

[@lfernander1980ify]

HP didn’t come out with any hourly layouts for the Fall release. You’re better off buying a printable from an Etsy Shop. That’s what I would do. Otherwise always love your videos.

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Thank you!!

[@pjjones1908]

I found one from Etsy and then I printed the passion planner hourly

[@rebeccadebreaux-west1452]

I didnt see the hourly layout either. I am going to email them and let you know what i found out! Great video!!

[@ssalas920]

I emailed as well! Haven’t heard back...hopefully there are many of us 😊

I had a chat with them via "chat" on their website no hourly this release, not sure if they will have one for the next release.

[@karinmasseybrock1083]

I really enjoyed this session, The idea of adding a few pages for notes for each section is great. This will be my first planner ( I get mine September 1st) and this has made my life so easy so far. Thank you I am subscribing.

[@bitrudder3792]

I have the same dilemma with changing up my routines, especially when some days look so different from others. Right now I am experimenting with using clear library card pockets that hold index cards. I had an abundance of 3 x 5 flashcards from homeschooling, including a number of completely blank ones. I found the pockets for these 3 x 5 index cards on Amazon. It's not only easy to change it up in a few minutes, I can even run them through the printer for a more professional look, if I feel like taking the trouble. Post it notes always annoy me because they don't lay down flat, and the colors I have are kind of annoying to my color scheme (minimal and neutral). The washi tape idea of yours...nice!

[@karenfranklin2475]

I found an undated hourly layout sheets at Hobby Lobby on clearance ;)

New to your channel. You have introduced me to some great new ideas for my planner. Love your calm voice too. Thank you.

[@barbaraschmidt1850]

I love how your videos really have helpful content. Also on a Big Happy Planner. I use one too and it’s hard to find inspiration for that size. Did you know that in the Bujo world, those notebook pages are called Collections? And, you have very beautiful hands. That’s all. Congrats on your channel. Love it.

[@corticoqueen639]

you are so helpful.. I am obsessed with putting together my planners in this fashion. It is such a great idea, thank you!!

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Thank you!!

[@elangenmayr6508]

Hourly layout is part of the latest line! I don’t know if they have the large, but twinkleplansherday showed the new hourly layout!!

[@projectgreenstar]

What do you do to the months you fill up? Can you do a mock up template of how you organize client information and progress?

[@ieshasheard8288]

The Hourly layout is going to be at Walmart I believe it’s already available

[@JustScribble]

Bummer. Won’t shop there

[@mommymarine1756]

Just Scribble why not?

[@kimberle2008]

Yes, I tracked one down.

[@JustScribble]

The HP fall launch on their site and we JF, Michaels and HL doesn’t have the hourly or monthly layout options. I was bummed. But Rhoro designs has awesome printables

[@homemadejoy1047]

What do you use for your monthly layout?

[@JustScribble]

Homemade Joy I don’t use monthly layout planner yet. Was hoping they’d come out with one in BIG in this release. But I use a printable of a part of it that layout in classic size in my social media planner to organize videos I have planned in the short term.

[@homemadejoy1047]

@@JustScribble I was thinking to use the "Checklists - BIG - Teacher" on the HP site for social media. I can only think to use the monthly for chores (list the room and bullet out what to do in the room). I so wish HP would have done all the layouts in Vintage Botanical. Ugh. Thanks for the reply.

[@michellegordon456]

lovely informative video and your writing is so neat, thanks for posting

[@Luvs2read33]

I have one from Walmart that’s thru June of 2021. I think it’s called the teal floral but don’t quote me on that. I saw there was a couple layouts missing from the release including the monthly layout as well. Maybe they’ll release them closer to January.

[@cyohe8643]

I may have missed it...what size discs are you using to hold all of the notebooks? I'm loving this idea!

This video was fantastic, thank you so much for sharing your great organizing ideas! BTW, your nails always look GORGEOUS!!!

[@larkin2sf]

Good morning Alaina. I hope your Sunday is peaceful, restorative and filled with joy. I have a random question. I truly appreciate the value I find in the KZbin work of those I come back to over and over. I know this work is often an important part of some KZbinrs' income and careers and I want to support that. Does subscribing, making comments, watching ads, watching the video all the way through have an impact? If so, can you describe, or point me to somewhere I can read about, how? I try to support my local small businesses and I want to do the same for my online small businesses too! Thank you for all the help you've given me!

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Yes. Watching the ads, liking the videos, and commenting all helps because KZbin pays us based on how many people watch the ads. Also, if you like and comment on a video it’s recommended to more people. Thank you so much for your support!

[@Laly7]

Yeah... the hourly layout in the big planner is hard to find. I did find one on the Walmart site, it goes from July 2020 to June 2021. Maybe they will come up with new ones after this. Here’s the link to the big planner: www.walmart.com/ip/The-Happy-Planner-Big-12-Month-Planner-Teal-Floral-2020-2021/314459390 I hope this helps! Edit: I saw a lined one in the big size, it’s the “Faith Changes Everything” Planner. It’s and 18 month from July 2020 through to December 2021. It doesn’t have the hours but it is lined and in the big size.

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Thank you!!!

[@ladipunkin4061]

Great video. I’ve used a HP classic since the beginning. I’m trying out the big, like your ideas on how you’re using it. Also bought a really pretty Tul big navy blue & silver cover last year, never used it so I’m trying it out before 2021 to see if I can rock it like you 🙂 How did you feel about the size & weight? Did it take some getting used to at first?

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

It definitely took some getting used to. I’m actually thinking about going back to the classic size for 2021. I love both sizes though!

[@medicalcodingwithconfidence]

2 Questions: Where do you get your functional rectangular stickers? I 7-in-1 frankenplanned my planner like yours, but it’s extremely heavy. Do you leave the house with your planner? What do you carry your planner in? A tote?

Hey! Yes I use a tote bag. The stickers are from Happy Planner Colorful Boxes

Hi I’m new to your channel. I’d love to start planning this way but am a bit confused. I have a special needs child with tons of things I need to keep track of. Where do you buy this happy planner ? And where would you get the smaller planners that go inside ?

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Hey! They are all separate planners that you can purchase from JoAnns, Hobby Lobby, or Michaels. They have different styles and selections. Once you pick the ones that suit your needs you can put them all together because of the discs. All of the pages are easily removable. I will be doing a planning 101 series in December but this is the basis to getting started creating yours. I hope that helps.
