I love your videos, they always inspire me!! Im going to redo my setup now that my companies year is restarting. Ive been watching you for years and im an office and project manager for a growing firm and your videos have helped me reach management so quickly and changed my life. Thank you
Of all the planner videos I have watched, you are the first person to tell me its ok to, and that I should, keep it streamlined and avoid a hundred planner techniques! I have been distracted and haphazard with planning because I can't make it work for me! You also have given me "permission" to integrate my phone with my planner! At last! And I love your suggestions for how to choose the type of planner for my needs. Thank you so much!
Finally a good planner video , I can’t believe how much I have been looking for a video that is able show a good way to about this . I have watched many videos lately and many focus on decorating vs using it effectively. I am getting my own soon .
I'm watching this in April ! I'm trying to fix the mess I've made of my planner ! 😄 Thank you for this video ... a huge help in getting me back on track ! 😊
Wow! You are thorough and the simplicity of this video makes it less intimidating when choosing a planning system. Thank you and I hope that your New Year brings you happiness and prosperity 💖💖
Prior to go into the set up, I would like to say that you look really great. I know that black and white is king of signature color for you, but this dark green suits you better as color!
I completely agree with your planner size analysis. I've been forcing myself to use a pocket size planner, but it just wasn't working. I went back to my very first planner...an A5. I'm back in love with planning again and it's working wonderfully for me! 😊
You look the most stunning that I have ever seen you, and completely at peace (maybe that's the key lol). Whatever you are doing keep it up... best wishes this 2018!
First time viewer of your channel and now a subscriber! I’ve watched so many planner reviews and can’t seem to find the right one... until now. 😁 Your planner is so classy looking and well thought out! I love the palette of neutrals, metallics, and hint of blue/text in your printables. Thank you very much for such a simple, functional planner (and for great ideas to build it out further) among the tons of overpriced ones out there on the market that don’t quite hit the mark.
Great tips! I will be incorporating a few of these tips. I just found your channel. Some of these things I knew I needed to do and just didn’t. When you hear someone else say it, then you hear it and do it. Thank you! I will be checking out your website.
Useful as always - love how you set up for efficiency, and your inserts are so pretty as always - and TOTALLY agree about one place for time/task/calendar info. my belief is that no one is at maximum efficiency if they use multiple planners
HI Alexis, I haven't had too much time for videos as I've been preparing for the end of the year. This morning I made a little time and wow girl, you're looking amazing. You've always been beautiful, I can just tell you've been working on your fitness so I wanted to give you a virtual high five :)
Thank you Alexis! One question that maybe you could address; book reading. The different subscription services, the pros and cons of each, paper book vs digital, audio vs actual reading. And maybe a reasonable goal for those of us who have either never really been a book reader or those of us who have fallen out of the habit and how we could get back into it successfully. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. I enjoyed the tips especially tip #5 "Stick to the basics". My goal for 2018 is to get back to basics with my planner. No fancy smancy stickers and washi tapes. I'm going to use my planner to do just that....plan. Happy Holidays Alexis!
This video is great! So many good nuggets in here. I totally agree with tip #1 - one planner. I can't imagine trying to manage more than one. I tried a desk and a purse planner for a bit at the end of 2017 (and I mean a small bit, lol) and it was too much. I was then putting everything - personal and work tasks and appointments - in one Happy Planner classic spread, but I really wanted to go to a smaller size for portability. You're right, the classic could be carried around, but it limited the other things I could carry with me. I ended up getting two mini planners and putting them into one planner on larger discs, so I have two sections- one for personal and one for work tasks. This is working really wonderfully for me so far. I love having them separated but still in the same place. Thought that might be helpful for someone regarding tip #1 and the size question! Really though, I love this video and am I'm excited to check out your other videos. Thanks, Alexis!
Thank you Alexis. I love the functionality of your planners. I have few "timely" items to schedule, but many projects. I am retired. I wish I had found you many years ago when I juggled my company, 4 kids, my husband and community volunteering! Merry Christmas or Yule!
Love this video. My favorite size is definitely the a5 size it works perfectly for me and I take it everywhere with me and just throw it in my purse or I just put it on the passenger seat of my car and it works out fine for on the go!
Every time I click on a video of yours, I think 30+ minutes?! That's so long :o( Then when I start watching, I learn so much that I watch to the end and always get so much out of it.
Great video, very helpful. I’ll admit to having the Hobonichi cousin for my scheudule because I could keep my work schedule in the weekly section, and my personal schedule in the daily section, rather than have a separate planner for work. Projects, to-dos, and everything else go into my compact which is also my wallet. I stopped my A5, but may go back to it for scrapbooking in 2018.
I haven’t seen in a few months and WOW you look stunning. I would love to hear what you’ve been doing. Thank you for sharing this video, I am going to take some of your tips.
Love, Love, LOVE your presentations and ALL the helpful information❣️ QUESTION: What paper do you recommend for printing Planner Pages? Card Stock seems too heavy; is there special paper for Planner Page printing? Thanks, Alexis!
i am new to your channel and this is the first video that i have watched and it is so interesting and your voice is also so nice to listen to! you should consider getting a television channel!! i would watch your channel everyday!
Love it lady! You reminded me about those year at a glance tracker! Thank you for that... Also - Merry Christmas to you and can't wait to see you in January!!!
Thank you for this vidro. I'm just starting out withn planning and need all the help I can get. I am new to your channel and absolutely love it. Merry Christmas xxx
I use Google calendar as a catch all, but then I use my planner to keep track of my daily time blocking since I'm usually on my phone when I schedule clients. I like look of the disc planner, but how would I get started using one?? How do you get each page to fit in there, is there a punch that size?
Great video! I've been waiting for your 2018 year at a glance. Thank you for the freebie. What glasses are you wearing specifically? Those look like they aren't the Raglan ones.
Alexis... I absolutely love your channel, information, tips and tricks. I am a woman who just turned 40 this year and I am getting myself together. I am new to the planning community and not to the digital age but in some aspects yes. My question to you is- I also have an apple phone. Do you use an app to do your digital planning or is it just the calendar on the phone? Thanks for all the information. Keep going forward with all this. Love your channel....
Hello! I love your planner & ordered the Charmed Life Planner to use for 2018, but I have a question: what version are you showing in this video? The order came with several versions & for some reason I can’t seem to figure out which one this is!
Couple things you did not answer- Your lipstick color. Looks fabulous on you! Your office chair is lovely, is it comfortable and where is it from? Lastly- Great video and love your hair!
I have a levenger junior size disc planner. I have never really used it because I wasn't sure how to. I just watched your video on how you set up your planner for 2018 and it gave me the courage to drag my disc planner out. do any of your bundles fit the junior(6 1/2 x 8 1/2 size disc planner?
Colleen R That’s awesome! Yes, my A5/ Half Letter Inserts fit the junior perfect- that’s what I use in this video. Feel free to email me if you have anymore questions xx
Tracker 100 it's very dark on my end and I have it on my best setting with a note8 phone so not sure if it's just dark sadly. I'm having a hard time seeing any details of her cool planner 😲😲😢💖💖
HILLCROSS FARM Kristin Z hmm... definitely check your brightness/contrast on your device! I realize with portable devices sometimes those settings auto adjust so hopefully that helps 🖤
I struggle with one planner due to having to keep work separate. SIGH! I have toyed with several planner sizes, as an A5 is way to big to carry around, especially since I have to keep work notes in a separate notebook due to confidentiality. I wish I could just quit making changes, or at least figure out what works...God knows with the amount of money I have spent on planners and inserts...well...let's hope my husband doesn't notice!
