I love this video and it’s length. I just signed up to be an EC insider! I’ve seen you in so many other people use their products, but I’ve never felt tempted myself. But with my birthday coming up, and all of the welcome coupons they send, I may be making a few purchases to use up all my coupon codes 😅 I hope you have fun with this new planner, and I can’t wait to see how it’s going in your notebook challenge videos
I'm open to trying out my own Erin Condren Frankenplanner. I think it would be kind of fun. I'm using an A5 binder for the first time this quarter but I'm always open to try new things, especially if it has to do with planners. Thanks for the video!
I enjoyed the video and got some wonderful nuggets of advice to help me with my creative life. The main thing I’m going to do is have a planner for my writing life and a planner for my content creation. I was just wondering why my planner was so cluttered. Bingo! Thank you, Sarra! 💜
I’m actually giddy about the new EC teacher planner format! I’ve been using it as a blog/content planner for years and it took way too much time to reformat every year. I use the monthly spread for my post tracker. The weekly spreads are for my FB group/SM post planning and tracking. I use the checklist pages as my blog post task and Pinterest post tracker.
I'm a "One Planner to Rule Them All" kind of person, but you're FrankenPlanner videos give me so many ideas on stuff to add to my planner. Keep 'em coming. Would love to see these planners as they get used and, of course, ALL the FrankenPlanners. All day long. They're the best to watch while I'm working on setting up mine. Thank you Sarra!
Since you do this so often, you should invest in the rubber jewelery pliers. Come with 3, and one of mine has two flat sizes to get the "crink" out of the coil. Made it so much easier. Got mine from Michael's!
totally different subject-watched the live actors version of the little mermaid and from the very first appearance of Ariel, I thought Sarra-she could be Sarra-not looks wise really but the energy and the singing made me think of you-made the story even better
I wouldn't do it myself but I loooove watching this kind of stuff! I was working through my HB90 planning pages for Q3 so long videos are perfect for me! I would love to see what your planners look like later in the year as you've used them! 💜
"Because I want to." is the best and totally valid answer to why you would want to franken-plan. I think I will remember that when I am getting questioned on why I spend time decorating my planners every week. There is not always a need to excuse how you want to spend your time. Why did I watch this whole video even though I don't franken-plan? Because it was fun and I wanted to. Great video.
This was so helpful to see your step-by-step process! I'm a visual learner, so I very much appreciate seeing you put them together while hearing your thought process! ❤ Thank you Sarra!
Always a bunch of good ideas. Your kids are adorable! I've been with you from your 1st pregnancy. Where do you get your stickers? Thank you for your hard work to help all of us.
Oh my gosh, I've never tried to frankenplan before, but I did it with you today! I'm pretty excited about the results - I repurposed parts of an EC monthly planner and now I have NINE months for my Writing! Thanks for putting this out!
Not that I would be opposed to doing the frankenplannering (and I greatly enjoyed watching!) but this made me want to set up a travellers notebook because your pink pages at 4:27 are so pretty.
It's always fascinating to me how differently we approach the tools we use. You often find a tool (planner page, particular spread etc.) and ask "what can I use this for?", whereas I'm often thinking, "I want a very particular thing - let me figure out how to make/find exactly the thing that's in my brain." (Sometimes it doesn't exist, and then I am very sad.) So fun to see how different brains work!
It was interesting to see how you do them, but way too much work for me. There is definitely an appeal to having things exactly as you want them, but I would be so afraid of putting pages upside down halfway through or something. LOL
What types of pens do you use to write on your Sticker Guru stickers? I got the Sticker Guru monthly spreads for Q3 but all of my pens smear and it makes me sad haha
I love these kinds of videos when you do them! ❤❤❤ I only have three EC items and they’re all different sized notebooks. I do like the compact vertical layout though. Hmmmm.
I was rooting for a 3-month planner so you could use the smaller 'rainbow' coil without taking apart your beautiful creation ! I'm only 40 minutes in, but I'm sure it'll work out by the end.
Love to watch and get ideas but I don't see myself messing with the coils. I really love disk bound and would love it if Erin Condren put out a disk bound.
I can never get enough of planner setup videos. I would probably never do it myself (looks like faaaar to much work, and as much as I i love planners, I'm not busy enough to actually need or use them), but watching others do it is my favorite form of inspirational procrastinating!
I love your frankenplanner videos! Wish you wouldn't worry about people not liking them. Also get planner envy as we don't get as many pretty ones here in the UK
I wish the new Teacher Weekly Spread was something that was available in their regular planners! I would love to have all of those categories to plan, but I don't need all of the additional teacher pages they have in the planner 😅 hoping they offer that as an option some day!
Does anyone know what brand that white out, and I guess tape/glue in the clear containers she was using at the 50-minute mark? I guess that's what they were?
I love your planner videos! I love the concept of using planners but I have yet to find a system that works for me. Your videos help me determinr what may or may not work without having to buy planners to find out they dont work for me.
I live in Texas. And my husband and I can’t get anything to grow our tomatoes hardly make it through the season. I think it’s great you were able to eat fresh vegetables from your own garden. We will try again next year.
You should get your soil checked out. Check you tube for some garden videos on problems in the garden too. Some times it's just a bad garden year for your area. Keep trying. Good luck.
Could you take some blank pages out of your 18 month, archive planner so it would fit a 12 month coil? So that you can use that pretty 18 month coil elsewhere? 💖🌞🌵😷
