Newbie everything....subscriber, planner, et. al... Boy! Was this right on time! I am a 60yo man and so I keep my passion for the Happy Planner on the DL. LOL!!! But thank you for this as it answered a lot of my questions. The only short coming that it has from my perception is no inserts for addresses and the like. Since I have retired I haven't had a planner and so the overwhelming crush of information caught me by surprise! I never knew that day planners had become such a thing! I am a very visual person and so this planner with all of its stickers really speaks to me, but my grown kids fail to see the attraction! No matter! Because nowadays I AM DOING WHAT MAKES MY SOUL HAPPY!!!! This is my new mantra! Thanks again, Heather!
I'm 68, and 2020 will be my first year with a Happy Planner! In the past it's been a free random calendar and a yellow legal pad☺. I 'm excited to get creative, more productive, and work with a beautiful planner. I chose "Homebody." Happy planning everyone
Also a noob everything, 70yo male... Been on a 2 yr quest to find a planner that fits my needs. Who knew that there was so much. My wife is a card maker, who teaches locally. I am the techie. I work on many different hardware platforms, but my biggest difficulty was trying to get a planner that worked the same way across all platforms. The solution, of course, is to go back to paper. Like creaminthecoffee I am visual, so this has been a major eye-opener, thanks for the great videos.
This makes me so happy! I am 23 and new to happy planning. I have a chronic illness that leaves me mostly housebound but I love planning! It makes me happy
What is the difference in Frankenplanner and Transformer Planner? I watched another video that made it sound like two different types but when I Google it appears to be used interchangeably. #HappyPlannerNewbie
Thank you so much for doing this! Seeing this BEFORE I went on my very first planner binge, ignorantly assuming I knew what I was doing, lol, I probably wouldn't have bought half of what I did. The planner cover I fell in love with turned out to be a 12 month dashboard layout, which I didn't realize until I excitedly sat down with all my goodies and freaked..."where are my daily boxes?" So, live, learn, and watch you!
Thank you for going through the lingo! I just bought my first Classic Happy Planner and am looking forward to using it for budgeting and work, mostly. This video helped a lot to figure out the stuff I should buy to customize mine.
I just purchased my first Happy Planner and a “planner basic” sticker book!! This video answers all the questions I had and I learned a lot I didn’t know!! Thank you for posting ♥️
Heather, this was a great video you did for newbies. I say this because you were simple as can be and went over pretty much all the things they need to get started and it was good to even here as an oldbie lol!!
Thank you so much for all that information that really helps me now I will know what they’re talking about when I watch all those videos on Planners. I just started I have the Big Happy Planner and the mini one plus some other Planners I have a big sticker collection already it’s very addicting I’m hooked for sure I just bought the paper cutter my next thing I want to buy is the hole puncher. I’m also addicted to watching lots of different Planners on You Tube and getting some awesome ideas from them. I was very happy to come across your channel I already subscribe and I’m ready to follow you too .
Is there a specific planner or expansions pack (?) meant for readers? With pages for TBRs, page trackers, a place to track new releases, etc.? I'm sure I can figure out an alternative, but if there's one already meant for that, that would be good for me.
Hi Jennifer! I'm going into my fourth year with happy planner. I never stop tweaking my planners and videos like these are awesome. I had to learn the hard way,,,where was Heather when I started?! Lol.
Hey Heather, I have a question. Do you know if the happy planner will eventually come out with a medical expansion pack? For like nurses or care givers? Just thought I would ask since they have come out with different expansion packs.
That would be great for nurses, Dr, care givers, and more in medical field but also for ones who haven't lots of Drs and therapy appts. And such along that line. Even ones for people who run there parents or family members life with appts, therapy,meds, supplies like medical equipment and needs. I can say so much more but it would be awesome for at least an extension packet for many of us!! Ok MAMBI TEAMS/HAPPY PLANNER TEAMS/SQUAD come help us all that are in need!?!?
I have had a planner for year only did the writing in it. Not want to do stickers. Love all your videos. Keep up the good work. Going to get a mini soon.
Heather! Thank you SO much for this video/tutorial! This is an amazing wealth of information and is so appreciated! I just found your channel and am a new subbie. TFS! 💙 I don’t have a Happy Planner currently, but I will next year! I think the CHP with a dashboard layout would definitely make my life happier! 🌈 I’m already collecting stickers 😀
This helped me out a lot. I recently got a big happy planner and I want to change the rings out but I kept getting confused as to what they were called. You’re a lifesaver!
Haha thank you for this. I just got my first Classic Happy Planner and everything is so foreign, it has its own language. I'm slowly getting the hang of it then I see someone throw a change up and I'm back at square one! Thanks for this video!
Hi Heather.. loving all your planner videos. I wish there was somewhere I could view what each planner pages look like, so I can decide which planner I want besides my main one. Do you know where I can go to see the styles of pages are for all these lovely planners?
Do the metal discs weigh more than the plastic? Sounds like a dumb question but if someone has their planner packed out it could get pretty heavy to carry.
This is a video to watch from time to time. Bookmark it because you may have questions later -- when you may not be a newbie. I found the Memory Planner (undated) mentioned here, which is a great idea for a BABY BOOK. Hope this helps someone else like it has helped me. No baby coming yet, but I will keep my "friends" here posted when it happens.
Very new at the Happy Planner and have so many questions but I think I'll watch some more videos and most of those will be answered. I do have one specific one, though...what the heck are the discs for? Thanks for all you do!
I have one called "Wellness." I use it more for mental health and general checking in with myself, but it has spots for exercise tracking. It's undated and pretty basic, so you can really make it work for yourself. :) I got it in Big size from Hobby Lobby. Hope this helps!
New planner babe here... My first HP. I bought a deluxe cover and did exactly that, tried to tuck my front cover too. Took me about 2 seconds to correct that booboo!

can you do a video on what some of the stickers mean cuz there are few that I don't know what they are am new to this all and thank you for this video it was very informative
Does the snap in hard cover come with the pencil loop holder already attached or was that a part of the planner dashboard? Also, do the planner rings match measurements with a normal three hole punch?
Tiara Stokes the hole punches are totally different to allow the pages to be removed. They sell a specific punch for Happy Planners. If you use a coupon at Michael’s or Jo-Ann’s, if you’re in the US, you can get a decent deal
Hey, Heather! I'm new to planning and I can't wait to get started! I was watching another video and the young lady mentioned the "PGW Community". What is that? I couldn't figure out the acronym.
PGW stands for "Planners Gone Wild". There is a Facebook group for them and they are also the group that put on the big GO WILD conference each spring! It is a group of women who all use a variety of planners- not just Happy Planners!
Ashley E. Kauffman Im a newbie and I can't decide wich cover is the best... can you helpme by giving me any opinion. I have a classic size happy planner and its going to be my on the go and catch all... Wich one do you think is going to be best for me ? 😊🥰
Stephanie Gutierrez sure! I’d be glad to help! I’ve never used the snap-in cover, but I love my deluxe cover. The deluxe cover helps with keeping your planner nice, plus it has a pen holder and pockets for stickers and other stuff. If you’re taking your planner places, I’d suggest getting the deluxe cover. Hope that helps!
Thank you! I actually HATE the color red, but my niece LOVES red right now... so I did them red for her! Shes obsessed with them. Every time she sees me she says "Red nails for Maddie!!"
How can I get the rest of the year for my classic planner? I bought a student planner by mistake and I loved it anyway and I love the cover, can I just but the months for the rest of the year and paper

this definitely helped! thanks so much 😊 I actually have a question about the stickers, sticker rolls, and value packs.. i’m new to the planner/BHP (thanks for that 😋) world, and wanted to know if there are specific stickers for the BHP, or will any of the stickers work?
Hi... there are specific stickers, but you can use other stickers, as well... watch videos using the search term "Happy Plannerstickers" and similar to learn more (if you haven't, already)...
Not the Guru A divider is the tab on the side that comes with the planner, a dashboard usually has some sort of functionality to it (ie, sticky notes, stickers or an event that is reoccurring), a bookmark just marks you spot in your planner. Hope that helps!
YES! This is super important. I see people comment on photos all the time and say "What size planner is this???".... count the discs, and then you know! ;-)
@@kellofaplan i made very expensive mistakes not knowing this....but now they came out with the Happy Notes so that gave me some ideas to use my mistakes....lol
