Planner 101: How to Plan in a Mini Happy Planner | Mini Happy Planner Hacks | Ultimate Planning Tips 

LOVE the color coding idea! That’s definitely save a lot of space in them tiny boxes!

I love the way you decorated with the disc stickers

Great video. You gave me some great ideas to add to my mini happy planner. Also, taking care of you is so important and hard to do. Glad you’re doing this at this stage of your life. I would suggest not to add too many activities/self care items when you first get back into wellness.

My mini is my lifeline…it’s so full of messy writing all over it lol being my only planner at the moment I write everything about everything down in it. Getting a new mobile home set up it has come in handy for me! I’m the type where I’d loose my head if it wasn’t attached 😂 my poor cover is falling apart. You’d probably cry if you saw my planner right now 😅 I can’t wait to be in my OWN home again! Then maybe I can do some DIY’ing. I need some envelopes & bookmarks etc & stickers. Man I miss my stickers! I’ve been using some Dollar Tree pastel markers & I found a few sticker book there that are Dollar Tree brand but still pretty cute. Kind of a Happy Planner dupe really. Awesome ideas as always!! Thank you 🙏🏼 you’re such a great help & something about your voice calms me❤

Loved the video. Thanks for doing this. I love getting new ideas. 🩷

With the color coding system, would you write what the plan is on the date? Like a pink dot is a birthday, would you also write whos birthday it is on that date? Did that make sense?

Is this cover made for the mini?

Have your ever tried skinny classic as your to go. I can relate. Also where did you get the cover

Hi Caitlin! I really enjoyed this video! I am really getting back into my mini HP! The mini is my first love and how I started out with HP, WAY back in the day. lol I have followed you for years. haha I love all of your ideas. Thank you for sharing. I am still trying to figure out how I want to set mine up. I have have bought so many mini's now it is ridiculous. lol I think I have so many layouts, because I think "just in case I want to use that one". Plus, I technically don't have much of a reason to use one. I just REALLY want to. For on the go I use a pocket ring planner as my every day carry and wallet in one. I also use a classic HP. I will find a reason to use it. lol I was going to tell you, instead of pasting the calendar pages together, at least for one set that you take with you, keep it available to write down appointments that come up when you are out of the house. Unless you use your phone or something else. That is what I use my pocket rings for, one of the things anyway. When I need to schedule a new appointment I just turn to that month and write it in. Ok, I totally understand, and relate to what you are saying about losing yourself to being a wife and mother. That was my life for 20 + years, and still is to some extent. It is so hard. I struggled with depression and anxiety, (and still do, but with therapy, and treatment, for years, I am much better), weight issues, etc. All three of my kids are special needs, two are adopted, and one is from birth. Anyway, my kids are technically adults now. The 26 and 24 year olds still live at home because they can't seem to function at life. However, I have allowed myself to let go enough to allow myself to take care of me for once. This one paragraph does not sum up all the years it took to get to this point Caitlin. I am sure you know. 😔 I just wanted to give you a quick glimps. So hang in there. You can do it!!! Just start slow, and be consistent, which it sounds like you are! Swimming and bicycle ridding are excellent for physical and mental health! I need to get more movement in my life. You are worth it! Your kids/family will be fine while you go do what you need to do for yourself to be stronger and healthier. 😘 I look forward to more videos!
