How To Use Your Happy Planner - A Beginners Guide!
hey everyone welcome back to my channel
welcome back to another video today I'm
gonna take you a little bit in depth on
how I actually use my planner to get
through the day and really try to be as
productive as possible so if you're new
here make sure to hit that subscribe
button so you don't miss any of the fun
and if you're returning welcome back I'm
so thankful and appreciative for your
support and cannot wait to show you what
I do alright let's get started okay so
you may have just watched this might be
a little bit later that you're seeing
this but I just completed my I'm getting
to it I'm getting to it
plan with me so you probably have
already seen this plan with me I'm not
sure what day you'll be watching this
video but this is on a Sunday that I am
recording it so as you're watching it
and I'm getting ready for the week I'm
gonna kind of show you a little bit
about how I actually plan things out so
first steps first I create my theme and
my spread for the week which I have done
here check that off the list my
inspirations in front of me I'm now
ready to get started planning my week so
what I do first is I look back at the
month which I've already done and kind
of just see what I already know I have
to do this week and what's gonna be
coming up and then I put that in if I
have appointments or anything like that
I put it in there now if I have
something that I don't have a time for
so for example I know that I have to
show a house on Friday but I don't know
what time I have to do that so I'm gonna
take this little sticky note and I'm
gonna put it up here and I'm gonna put
show house is and then that's gonna and
then time T B D so C I know how to do
that but I don't know would I have to do
that so that's a temporary sticky note
once I have a permit
time I will put that time down in my
planner theoretically earlier in the
week I'm not gonna wait till you know
Thursday just confirm Friday I'm gonna
try to find out more on Tuesday so I can
schedule out the rest of the week but
that will be there in order all right so
now that I know that I have to do that I
also know that on Thursday night the
23rd we have our end-of-year preschool
event so that's on Thursday night I
honestly don't even know what time it
starts but I will add that later as well
and on Wednesday I know that I have to
do a walkthrough of a property and that
will be some time time to be determined
as well because it's kind of depending
on when the movers get there so I will
fit it in as my schedule decides to go
for it so of course I'm gonna fill in
all the rest of the details before
that's why I'm gonna plan that out but
what I normally do is I take a sheet
like this because it's really hard for
me anyways if you have a lot to do or
you have a lot you need to accomplish
and your days are already pretty busy
and there's things that you need to do
that are certain kind of repetitive
maybe they're not repetitive maybe
they're just you know they seem more
repetitive but I generally take a piece
of paper and I input the information I
need to do on the schedule right here
and then I would convert that to over
here where I would put in those details
and kind of a larger fashion so if I
know that I need to do my hour of power
which is basically reaching out to
people is basically what that is then
over here I'm gonna write down the names
of the people that I'm gonna reach out
to and so let's just say Darlene okay so
I'm gonna reach out to her first and I'm
obviously again I'm gonna fill that in
and I'm gonna
those top five people that I want to
talk to for that hour of power and then
I'm gonna write down anything else that
I know I need to do repetitively so one
of the things is gonna be I need to
determine my videos for the week so this
is I do videos for both real estate and
I do videos for you know this channel
and so I kind of need to schedule that
in on what day I'm gonna do it and what
Damon record so we're gonna get things
prepared and ready so when do you report
it's gonna be a optimal recording
environment okay then I am going to
write in any time that you see a blank
space in your calendar if you use an
hourly like me a lot of times what I'll
do is if I know I have a really busy day
with appointments I will I will schedule
it out every single hour on the hour
days I don't have a super busy
appointment week I do like I am this
week and I'll just use these sheets and
kind of determine my hours but sometimes
what happens is if you don't have a
conversion into time then you don't
necessarily know how long a task is
going to take so if you say you're gonna
determine videos are you gonna give
yourself 30 minutes or an hour to do
that in my case I'm gonna probably do 30
minutes worse it doesn't take that long
so I know that when I'm sitting down to
do that that's gonna take 30 minutes of
my day I need to make sure that I'm
factoring that in as I schedule other
things and do other things as well as
any type of education or research or
anything like that you want to really
focus on how to maximize your timing in
that and make sure that you're doing the
right things and kind of really
overlooking what your day looks like so
for me this is not enough space to
really fill in my entire day I need much
more than that so that's why I like
these little half sheets and I use them
daily for the most part sometimes I can
fit one day into two but normally I use
them daily now the trick is I tend to
like them over here so they get it a
thirsty Friday I tend to still like to
like I kind of pull them out and use
them right here
so if you do like a specific kind of
sheet if it's not just a regular like
even when you flip this over then this
isn't the same so I don't know just as a
thought this is an idea for what you're
doing you know keep that in mind but
then basically it just helps guide my
days so I'm very clear in what I'm doing
for that specific day because if you do
try to fill your life out in just one
small box it can feel overwhelming and
maybe you have too much to do and maybe
you don't have enough in the same maybe
some of it isn't as scheduled so when
you're writing it down it feels a little
bit more random then in this case I try
to keep my appointments in these
sections right here primarily if there's
a task I know absolutely needs to be
done I'll make sure it's in there but if
it's just appointment based then I like
to keep them written down here and then
I take that information or and and
convert it into this task so I know
exactly what I'm doing now again if it
feels really busy then sometimes what
I'll do is I'll take a sheep just like
this and I'll write down these things
that I need to do and then I'll take one
of these like great little that these
are in tons of different plan or sticker
books there are some that are in sticky
notes so actually you could take one
like this which is a sticker or I have
them on my sticky notes and you would
basically just take them like this up at
the top and write down what you're
needing to do and you know here's an
hourly so you can break it down per hour
how long you think things are gonna take
we tether to sticky you know which you
can even move it to the front and kind
of get yourself an hourly breakdown of
your day if you feel like the day's busy
and you want to break these things down
in two hours I would totally recommend
trying to because I think it does make
it a little bit easier when you are
actually trying to work in an hourly
timeframe you might actually get more
done during the day so just keep that in
the back of your mind as you're looking
on how to actually do a certain task
you might really want to stick to that
30-minute time slot in which case you
need to really be clear about when
you're gonna do that so you don't over
whelmed yourself with the dates and
details of that timeframe so these alone
are not my weeks plan and what I think a
lot of people get confused on is how you
can do that in just this planner and you
don't have to there are accessories that
fit into this planner if you are using a
happy planner these are great now if
you're not using a happy planner and you
still need this type of detail you might
get a different type of planner that has
more room or you might just flip in
sheets like this and set them in for the
day take them in with some washi tape
and rip them up like those are always
really easy ways to fit in what you need
to do also without actually having to
just punch it in this lot so I hope you
enjoyed this video I hope that will make
things a little bit easier for you I
will be sharing a little bit more on
Instagram after my after I completely
fill it out I'm gonna show you exactly
how it went for the week so you can see
what my week looks like and just how
busy it was and what I did now again
this planner is not my everything
planner this is my work planner so I
tend not to keep I tend to keep more
appointments in here than anything else
I will put other appointments in here if
they can flick so I know that I know
what I'm doing but it's not necessarily
you're not gonna see all the small
details that I spend during my day as
well you will see them more listed on
this because this can go in any planner
and anytime and anything so alright
everyone I hope you enjoyed this video
