I like your idea of how to declutter photos on your phone regularly 👍🏻 But I don’t know if that works on my phone… or at least I don’t know how to search a certain date 😅
Its fun to see you try new inserts and it's nice that the sub box includes inserts to try before you purchase. I'm really enjoying the daily 15. The layout works well with my brain. Its now available on the website 🙂 During the anniversary sale I decided to try weekly #5 for 2025, but that was before I tried the new daily, lol I may combine them as you did and if any dailies go unused they are easy enough to re date. Have a great week! 💕
Oh that’s great to know the Daily 15 is already on the website, thanks for that update Vickie! It’s fun to hear you are liking them too! Thanks for watching! 💞🥰
Oh good to know, thank you! I haven’t had a chance to click around on janesagenda.com yet to see what other weekly options are available. I’ll definitely have to check out the #30👍🏻
For the longest time, I was a daily planner. Then I somehow gravitated to weekly. Lately, I have been feeling the need to get back to daily planning so I am looking at how I want to do that (still my weekly for the over all picture!).
It’s so interesting how our needs and tastes change. For quite a while I used the Jane’s Agenda Executive Daily, then eventually it started to feel “too much”. So when we got a weekly in the JA Sub box I gave it a try and loved it! So I enjoyed weekly pages for quite a while. I wasn’t really feeling like I needed to switch back to daily, but figured I’d try the inserts that came in the September box. I was surprised by how much I’m loving them! I think having the dot grid on the back is the key because each day can stand alone. Somehow it seems almost like having a bujo or notebook where there is no pressure on how I use each page. Thanks for sharing your journey and keep us posted on what you try and how it goes. 💞🥰
I love sub boxes too! The Joyful Jordan Box is such a nice collection of good bath & body products each month, I hope you’ll love it! I’ll look for you in my VIP group, feel free to ask any specific questions you have.
What a blessing to have such beautiful wildlife in your backyard. I was setting up September while watching your video. Something so therapeutic about watching you problem solve/set up your planner. I purchased inserts and discs during the anniversary sale since I'll be transitioning from Junior to Classic for 2025. I need more room, lol. I agree, I prefer the graph versus dot grid. Happy planning and enjoy the long weekend. 🌸💕🌸
Oh how fun to hear! It’s lovely to imagine you watching while working on your own planner. And I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers to new goodies from the sale and happy planning 💞🥰
I love that the new daily 15 is single sided!!!! That’s what I deeded!! I have the single sided monthly in the left and now I have a daily on the right! I can see it all at one glance. This is an amazing box!!! Thanks for sharing!! 🍁🍂🙏🏻☕️
Yes indeed! It’s been so great getting to put everything to use and I’m really looking forward to getting to use it all in a few days. Thanks for watching 🥰
Thank you for sharing!! I was sooo excited I have set mine up already!! This is my first box, so I didn’t have that beautiful August set up, or I would have waited 😂
I get my Sept. sub box today along with my anniversary sale goodies. I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve, waiting excitedly for my happy mail! 😊 Thanks for sharing the planner tote is able to hold a classic and some more items.
Jane and team did a fantastic job! I plan on trying the dailies as: time slot for my food tracker/exercise. Possibly add faith on the other side. Not sure just ideas.😊 Thanks for sharing this unboxing.
Loved this box! Jane definitely went all out for this anniversary box. The products are such high quality. Your videos are what got me to order and I’m so happy I’m subscribed. Thank you for sharing such great content.
I've watched lots of these videos, and they are well done, and I enjoy them all. I have to say, though, I really feel lost in it all. I want to use these products, but where do I begin? So many separate parts!
Well thanks as always for watching Karen. But sounds like you need to start with something simple like a notebook with blank pages. Just make your to do list for the day and let it evolve from there. Alternatively, maybe do a brainstorming session and mind map all the things you’re looking for out of a planner. Then evaluate and look for clues or patterns. Perhaps a bound planner would work better for you at this time? Or maybe a bullet journal? The most important thing is that whatever you use, it should work for you. So maybe Discbound isn’t for you at this time. Or maybe you just need to start with the monthly calendar and a To Do list. By starting with blank pages and seeing what feels like the thing you need and creating it on the fly, you may settle into the right combination of items for your planning style. Then you can purchase just those items you actually need. I hope that’s helpful and let me know if you have any thoughts or questions.
Welcome! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying my channel🥰 Yes, I am currently using 2" gold metal discs from Jane's Agenda janesagenda.com/products/metal-binding-discs-gold?sca_ref=3967824.QpojWsEdFN&
@@natashak45 thank you. I’m not fore what I will think of the weight of a planner with 2” rings, but my standard HP rings just aren’t enough! I have a catch all, health, gardening and notes in one binder.
oh my word! The wild life in your town is so beautiful to see. ☺ It's been a crazy month so I've been only planning out one week at a time. Your video's help motivate me to stay on task even when I'm not having a perfect planner week. Thank you again for the great daily routine and zone cleaning links. So helpful. Have a great week! 💛
Yes, I use a little book by Louise Hay called “Colors and Numbers” which gives me my personal affirmation and outfit color scheme each day. This is the video where I explain all about it: How I use the “Colors and Numbers” book by Louis L. Hay to plan my wardrobe: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6U3QtBncgKU.html
Thank you. Yes I love how flexible and versatile discbound planning is - need a new planner? No problem, punch the pages and put them on some discs and voila - you’ve got just the right planner for your needs. Thanks for watching and sharing
I just came across the FlyLady system last week and watched tons of videos on the system. I love the simplicity of your organization system and how you adapted it to your needs. I have decided to use a small ring binder and a separate clipboard that is placed strategically so that my household can see what needs to be done and help with chores. I swap out the relevant zone list to the clipboard when needed. I liked what you said that calmed me down, and it was that some weeks you don't get to do all the tasks assocated with a zone. I guess we can pick up where we left off the next time the zone comes up again. Thank you.
I think your plan sounds great and I’m glad you found my video helpful. Definitely go easy on yourself and make the system work for you. The FlyLady always wants us to be kind to ourselves and just go with how things work from day to day. No pressure just a little encouragement. Best of luck and happy homemaking.💞
Hi! I am trying to find the goodies you purchased but I’m not having any luck. I looked on the Farmers almanac’s website but I could only find the almanac. Can you tell me where you purchased everything?
I subscribe to the Old Famers Almanac, the Gardening Calendar, and the Planner. I believe the annual Garden Guide and the historic Almanac reprint publications are free gifts that come with the subscriptions. Hopefully that helps store.almanac.com/
Great video! I agree, things seem so off this month. I'm struggling to focus and keep up! I was wondering how you made your home tasks check list and what size you use to print them to fit your classic size planner? Whom ever recommended a printable was spot on, it's a great check list. Happy planning! 😀
Ok, since I created both the Daily Tracker and the Weekly Zone Cleaning Tracker in Canva, I'm trying out this sharing link. Hopefully this works. Weekly Zone Cleaning Tracker www.canva.com/design/DAGNq2KAUOk/VVmUa-O1V9QAAzBbpPk6Zg/view?DAGNq2KAUOk& Daily Routines Tracker www.canva.com/design/DAGNqwv7WqU/dMHxPhBeq6jJr902i7G6sg/view?DAGNqwv7WqU&
I export the file as .jpg, then paste it into a word document. This allows me to size it as needed. I typically make the margins work for my Classic Pages - so on an 8.5" x 11" page, the Margins are: Top .5", Left .5", Bottom 1.75", Right 1.5" Or you can make it fit the full page, then print the page at 82% which typically shrinks it to fit a Classic size planner well. I hope this makes sense and is helpful.

I love classic size BUT I leave the house each day for work and will do things after work or make calls at lunch would you just do a smaller classic with smaller discs or a separate book
You could certainly try that. I have a work bag large enough to hold my planner and purse, so it all goes with me when I go to work, but that’s only 2 days a week. The rest of the week I work from home. When I am out of the house, if I’m not taking my planner, then I typically bring a small notebook that fits in my purse in case I need to make notes to later transfer to my planner.
I love this! I was using a mini HP for so long but it’s getting too small. I can’t read what I write! 😆 I need to look into JA. I know you adore the company and it looks like they offer great products. I’ll keep you posted. 💜
Oh thank you! I was in an A5 for several years and once I tried the Classic size it was a relief because I finally felt like I didn’t have to cram so much on a page. I’m so curious to hear what you end up in, definitely keep us posted. And thanks for watching 🥰💞
Great video - love janes agenda products.. just found her.. what size are your rings? i just started with discs & an all in one planner & love it..but will definitely need maybe 2.0 disc size.. im already thinking of 2025.
Yes, Jane’s Agenda is the best and thank you for your kind words. I am currently using 2” discs, which works well to hold all of the different sections and calendar inserts in my planner. Thanks for watching. 🥰💞
Love your videos! The opening scenes are always done so beautifully. You are so organized which incentivizes me in setting up my planners each month. 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad to hear you enjoy the opening shot of my backyard and that you find inspiration and watching my videos. I appreciate you watching.💞🥰
No, my favorite planner size is the Classic size which is 7” x 9.25”. I reduce pages to 83% when printing at home and that seems to work well for fitting in my planner.
Thank you for the unboxing Natasha, I always enjoy your videos! I’m thinking about subscribing but wondering if you can cancel at any time or is there a commitment of so many months?
Thank you so much, I appreciate you watching. Yes, you can go in and change your subscription at any time. You can pause and just skip a month or cancel completely. If you sign up now your card will be charged on August 1st for the September box. Then it will ship to you about mid-month. janesagenda.com/Natasha
