Hi! I'm Merritt and I'm only organized in my planner. I suffer from being a hot mess about everything, but my planner sure does look pretty (and it helps with the chaos). If you would like to spend time with me while I decorate planners and try to organize my life, you're in the right place. Welcome, I'm glad you're here.
I love watching flip thru’s. you’ve had some really nice spreads. i was able to get some ideas for future spreads in my planner 🤩thanks for sharing. 💙 wow Bulgaria that will surely be an amazing trip.
Loved your video. I am a third grade teacher. I was wondering if you combine your personal and work planner? I’m setting up my July start planners and the decisions are endless. 😂
Hi Kathryn. I don't combine my personal and work planners. I leave my work planner at work except for once a month when I bring it home to film the next month's spreads. I sometimes add in personal appointments in work planner so that I remember, but I do not make lists for home in my work planner. When I was in the classroom, I used the Happy Planner teacher layout and it is only Monday-Friday (You can redate it, and you can find lots of videos of planners who do that.). I loved that layout, but it just didn't work for me when I moved into a new role. There are so many options: think about what you need and how you will use it and then just pick one. It may not be the right one for you, but you'll know what you like and what you don't so you can make an even better decision next time. Good luck!
it’s so funny how when i watched this video yesterday a couple of my friends decided to go to Chelsea Market afterwork. We also walked the Highline to get there. LOL Just thought I’d come back to share 😂💙
We also went to that new(ish) market at the pier across from Chelsea Market where all the stores are women and/or minority owners. Was it as hot when you were there as it was when we were there. It was rough, but still a beautiful walk.
For all of your struggles, this turned out to be a cute spread! I'm so glad you heard us screaming you needed to fill that 'bowling alley' and the quote turned out to be the perfect thing!
Hi Merritt! I don't know how you find the time to complete your different trackers each month AND read a gazillion books while working full time, LOL! I would venture a guess to say that you are more organized than you let on if you can keep all of those plates spinning. I'm doing good to complete my catch-all tracker (and it is just me and hubby) and my creative/journal/tracker each week. I am so glad that you use the dashboard consistently. i recently switched to the dashboard for my catch-all and can always use ideas for ways to decorate it! Thanks!
Oh my goodness! This is so adorable 😍. How do you use the dashboard for wellness? I'm thinking of switching my wellness planner and would love some ideas. Thank you. 😊
I've gone through several variations. I use the right hand side to document the information from my fitness app. I have used the left hand side to document meals, exercise, grocery lists, etc. And the monthly I use to plan dinners.
Hi, Merritt, I’m really enjoying your videos. I’m a newbie to all this since I gave up on digital planning. I’ve seen your name stickers. Where did you get them?
Plan It Darbi creatoriq.cc/43FhOp0 is where I get most of my name stickers. She does a really great job and communicates well through her design process.
@@onlyorganizedinmyplanner OOpsie, Sorry have fun in New York.. I guess my brain is still stuck with Mary Ellen's trip to Chicago, which was the last PWM I watched. Anyhoo, hope you are enjoying your time there..
Just discovered this channel, I’ll be sure to subscribe. I got my second happy planner and these give me inspiration on what to do with it. Keep up the cool videos :)
Does anyone else reminisce about the simple days of when you could get away with classic discs? I swear I can’t seem to get away with less than expanders and those currently barely cutting it. I think I’m going to have to separate then soon. 😢
Remeasure your boxes with your ruler as if 0 starts at the end. Then measure where the 0 actually begins, and see where the difference is. (I'm betting it's the ruler) The author on yearly statics, divides the boxes and puts the number as the same author in the bottom of the line or puts in a small number in the corner for the same author. The Housemaid and the Housemaid Secret are a good book, also Every time I go on vacation someone dies. It is also a good book. And if you like smut Helen Hardt is a good author. My favorite is the Steel brother Saga. (A few of the books do have a trigger warning)
I remeasured...it was user error (lol)! I've read the Housemaid and the Housemaid's Secret. They were so good. I need to get the Housemaid is Watching. And I do like smut; I will check out Helen Hardt. Thanks for all the great recommendations.
Hi Merritt! I am a planner and a junk journal maker, and if you were to do a bujo and ran out of room, you could add a tip-in or add a page that folds out to your page of books. There are lots of videos that show you how to add a page and it is not difficult at all!
Thank you so much. Merritt is my grandmother's maiden name and growing up I did not know anyone with the same name. I now know of several people with my name, but I still think it's pretty unique.
Hi. The top tabs and side tabs are from Planner Press. They're linked in the description. Live Love Posh also makes some that I love. The photo pages are so old from the Happy Planner and they don't sell them anymore, but here are some similar ones from Amazon amzn.to/4aHdHex
Hi, do you mean the Simplified Planner by Erin Ley that they sell at WalMart? I have used that in the past (before I became a decorative planner); the covers are BEAUTIFUL and such great quality. However, the ones I've seen do not have enough room to contain all that I want to document plus room to decorate....and they're not on discs.
@@tonyablair5425 @lulu3079able Oh, that's right! I totally forgot about that one. That may be exactly what I need. Thank you both for reminding me of it!
I’ve never heard of the Golden Apple award. But how amazing that those students acknowledged you. An ugly cry was totally called for 😂. Happy anniversary to you and your husband. Maybe next year hubby can tag along to to the conference and you can celebrate 💙💙
