Customizing and Setting Up My Planner 

The giveaway winners are Jessica Mcoy & TK Plans!! Thank you all so much for entering! Stay tuned for tomorrow's video, I'm doing another giveaway.

Does anyone else love the way she says "Hi! I'm Alaina"? Just me? 🤣

Finding this channel has changed my life! I have been a planner forever. I am going to try time blocking for 2021. Working from home has many challenges I need to conquer (FOCUS!!!) Thanks for the tips 🥰

I’m not surprised to see you switch back to the big, I remember watching the video when it was realized the Hourly was discontinued. Glad it worked out!

I am so excited about you going back into BIG! Thrilled that you have designed a hourly (so important!). Thoroughly enjoyed and use a lot of your ideas and can’t wait for the upcoming ones!!! Thank You!!!

I’ve never been more excited to plan 🤣 truly the only videos I look for everyday

I love making my own planners; for my home journal and work chronicle. It’s great to get exactly what you want (and need!) and not be trapped into how someone else plans.

I absolutely love the large Tul Planner hourly inserts Alaina! You should give them a try. 👌🏾👍🏾

I was wondering where you get the top-tabbed dividers? I’d love to get my hands on some good ones.

I think when you share details I will start I have an idea of what i would like my planner to look like. Good timing and one can start 2021well planned. Congratulations to the winners

This is coming at the perfect time for me! As a college student, I complete understand having enough room to write out what you need. I really appreciate that you are creating this kind of content to help those of us who are either completely new or still floundering!

Can’t wait! This is so needed because I’m new to planning and I appreciate the in depth videos!

Loved how you made your planner. This is great! My friend and I are virtually celebrating our friendaversary by setting up/starting our 2021 planners. I am making my planner for work 2021 and I am constructing it from scratch. When I get a chance I will eventually make pages like you did. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This all seems so complicated with so many planners...I may need to watch again. You are so organized!

I think fancy plans har hourly inserts for big happy planner!

I always look forward to your videos and I love that you solved your planner problem by creating your own!

Such an analytical look at your planning system, I love that!!

I'm very new to planning. Just bought my first blank slate planner. I love how detailed your priorities are when creating the planner sections. Planning for a great 2021 and this video is very beneficial.

I just bought a Tul notebook today to add my Happy Planner inserts into. I also wanted a second planner and chose a large over a classic because I write so much. I have quarterly goals for 2021 and I just need those large squares to write in.

Thank you for the upload. I got a bit anxious because everyone is uploading 2021 plan. I'd rather see yours cause it gives me structure and I can see where it's going, even though you haven't written anything. Idk, your style just fit me better. Please continue what you're doing.

Alaina I’m Loving Loving this series!! I had purchased several planners since July getting ready for 2021. Ive been following you for at least a year now but I lost my notes because my daughter and her fiancé moved out and we changed up rooms so I got my office/craft rooms back but things are still in boxes 📦 sooo this series is PERFECT TIMING Thank you

I love my Big and just can’t switch but I’ve been watching your journey. Welcome back to Big. I also use the Tul cover also.I can’t wait to see how you plan in the home planner.

Interesting set up, I may look at this as an option. Thanks

Great setup & design! I may have to breakdown and get on the HP train, and leave my old fashion calendar with a gazillion post its...behind.

Love these tips! Can't wait to incorporate them into my planner.

Wow the motivation is real! Where can I order mine?

Would bullet journals be a good option for a section? I love this disbound system. It solves so much of my many hats!

lady you are guiding me!! thank you i make sure keep checking on your videos, cant wait for more!!

I love the new set up. I love the tul cover.

Such a great video. Very helpful

Congratulations beloved so happy for your new endeavors

I wish it had a budget section too.... I am looking for one with both :)

This is so exciting! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to the upcoming videos!

I will need to change the times my day during the week starts at 4 am .,But that’s an easy fix 😀

Congrats to your new planner design! 💕

"Hi, I'm Alaina." You sound like a Disney princess. ❤

When you’re done with the month, do you put them back in their original planners?

Did you know leather discbound covers for classic size do exist? Inkwell press makes them and so does Dokibook and Pink Room Co. Those are the ones I know of. Just in case you are ever in the market for one.

I absolutely LOVE TUL covers! I have them in black. I can’t go back to HP covers 😂 TFS 💜 Sn: To make it “fancy” I added one of those Honey Inked swirlies things under their printed “Planner” text. It looks so sleek 😌 I feel like I have my life together 😂

Thank you for the video.

Will you be adding the life planner as a download if we print things ourselves at home? I have the budget planner and love that I can custom insert things and print things as I need them :)

So do you pull out for each month into your custom binder? Do you have a year’s worth of monthlies at the beginning? How are you managing this aspect? Great video!

Ohhh forgot can you PLEASE do an in-depth video on Your Tabs!! Both side and Top. How you use them? Where you purchased ? If you hacked them? Etc!! Please PLEASE

Hi Alaina, I am actually new In your channel and I am loving it. I do have one question about your catch all planner. You mentioned that you have 7 areas in your life that you plan for (e.g. budget, faith, personal etc.). I have observed that you transfer in one catch all binder, does this mean you have 7 separate planners and you just combine month by month to make it a catch all planner?

Hi Alaina, I am really enjoy your videos! I have two questions: 1) what type (thickness) paper do you use for printing the printable? And 2) where do you get the covers laminated? Or what are you using if you do them yourself?

If you have spare time can you please please please make a video about your nail care & polish routine 👀

Thank you! You are amazing!

So many things to think about

Please do a flip through.

will you be offering the hourly planner in the classic size? I like the idea of the big size but I just cant lug it with me to my office job and then to uni with everything else I need plus my campus is way too big and I'm there at night.

Hi Alaina, could you please let me know where do you get your frosted tabs and top dividers 🤩 it is so hard to find accessories for the HP Big 😝

Thank you for doing this series I have only been planning for a little over a year. I have tried to force each "style" of planner to work and none fit every aspect of my life. WHY....WHY didn't I think to just combine them? (Shaking my head) This makes so much sense!!! I love your channel. (and your budget planner. This was the key to finally getting my finances in order) I look forward to the rest of this series. I am finding tip after tip that I hadn't thought about. I am going to go check out the other two channels that you mentioned in the 3rd video. I hadn't heard of either of these ladies before. Thanks again.

Hi there! I love learning from your work! Is there a particular planner that you use for your faith planner or is it also The Happy Planner? I don't remember if you mentioned the brand or not. Thank you!

What punch do you use? The 365 punch doesn't have as many punches that you show in this video.

Great looking planner!

My inspiration ❤️👍

How do I get the holds in the planner sheets off of your store?

Hey, I’m new to your channel. Where did you get those gray dashboards?

What punch do you use to add your inserts? TUL or Happy Planner?

Are you no longer "themeing" (if that's spelled correctly) your days? I think that was something I was looking to incorporate as I am trying to become more organized. I know in another video you helped me realize that I have really long lists but I don't get through all of it. I am now going to try time blocking. I noticed with the changes in layout you don't "theme" anymore.

What paper do you use to print out those templates,normal printer paper is too thin

Thanks for sharing

Are you planning to make the life planner printable

I'm loving this! I plan while watching the videos. So fulfilling!

Where did you get the large plastic dividers with the top tab please? 🤩

How did you go about creating your own planner?

You could’ve got the recollections big hourly and removed it from the coils then punch it with the happy planner hole puncher. Just a suggestion ❤️

Thanks 🤎

I can't find the big Happy Planner in stock :'(

Does anyone know the brand of notepad she is using in this video?

Lovely!💕

Enter me. Love your videos
