Happily Planning

Back in January I impulse-bought a Happy Planner, and it’s kinda changed my life.

This is unexpected. For years, I didn’t really “get” the whole planner trend. In fact I was a little annoyed that some of my favorite scrapbooking companies were pivoting more toward planner accessories. I can store my appointments in my phone, aren’t paper planners obsolete? I barely have time in the day to finish my to-do list, who on earth has time to decorate one?

But here’s the thing. Apparently decorating a planner is exactly the thing I need to motivate myself to USE a planner. As a Disorganized Person, I have attempted all manner of methods to make myself better, and none of them have worked. The closest I ever came was about a year ago when I did a short stint with a bullet journal. I thought the minimalism and versatility would work for me. I managed to stick with it for about 6 months, but it was a slog. I never kept up with indexing, so flipping through to find stuff got to be a chore; having to draw my own calendar layout was not fun for me; and I never found a method of future planning that worked for me.

So when my crafty friend/enabler Sara–who used to share my anti-planner opinion–revealed to me she was newly obsessed, it didn’t take long for her to convince me to try it. I literally went out that night and bought a Happy Planner.

Obviously, not a lot of research went into this decision. They were on sale for $10 at Michaels. I picked a pretty one, and I got really lucky because I love it.  I think the thing that makes most people hesitate about the Happy Planner is the disc binding, but I have not had any problems with it, and so far any cons are far outweighed by pros. I loooove that I can add or remove pages or snap in cute little accessories, and I love even more that I don’t have to lug around a massive binder. The discs make Happy Planner as slim and portable as a notebook, but as versatile as a Trapper Keeper. It’s the best of both worlds.

Now I’m one of those crazy awesome people who buys special pens and a million stickers, and is considering getting additional planners for…other stuff? Yes, it’s only been 3 months, but I can already tell this thing is going to be with me for the long haul. Since I started using it, I haven’t missed a single appointment, due date, or deadline. I’m no longer constantly worried that there’s something I’m forgetting to do. I’ve even gotten better at keeping up with my laundry.
