After the Pen // Functional Plan With Me // Big Happy Planner // January 4-10, 2020

hey guys it's mary ellen welcome back to my channel in this video i'm going to be filling out my big happy planner for the week of january 4th through the 10th i am just going to come on here every day for a little bit with you and show you what i do so you get an idea of how i use my planner in a functional way if you'd like to see that keep watching [Music] okay so right now it's sunday evening and this is typically when i sit down to start writing in my planner for the week and this week is no exception sometimes i don't do it until monday if i'm running late but i'm doing pretty good this week so the first thing i typically do is look at my phone calendar because i do use my phone for keeping track of appointments and stuff like that i have used it forever it works for me so yeah so i put it in my phone and then when i go to start my week i transfer sorry for ally she's doing dishes i transfer that information to my spread i do that all the time and like i said it's working for me so i'm not going to change i am someone who uses a combination of digital and paper planning so for this week i don't have a whole lot going on um i do have a couple things on saturday so i have a i'm gonna use i'm gonna i'm trying to practice brush lettering so i'm gonna attempt to brush letter over here i don't know how that's going to go um this is a tombow fudenosuke i don't know how to say that but and the blue one i find is a little bit easier for beginner brush letters instead like there's a black one as well and this that's a little looser this is a little tighter so i have a little bit more control anyway if you did not hear archer and olive the bullet journal brand has chosen me to be a brand delight ambassador for this year so i'm excited to be on that team you are going to be seeing bullet journaling videos here and there from me i am not abandoning my happy planner do not worry that is not going anywhere i'm also not using my bullet journal as a planner i'm going to be using it as something that i put specialty pages in and i'll talk about that in a future video but just so you know i am super stoked for this collaboration this partnership so our first meeting our first zoom meeting is on saturday so i am just going gonna put that in here and like i said i'm gonna try my hand at some brush lettering i have to go very slowly i already messed up that a but i might go back and fix that so the trick when you're doing brush lettering you probably know this but when you do the down strokes you do it thick and when you go up you do it thin and the way you do that is just you um you alternate the pressure on the pen so down is very hard pressure and up is very light pressure and like i said i'm still learning i'm going to be practicing every day this year in my love letters planner and it is just a goal of mine at the end of the year to look back and see my progress so i'm excited about that i'm just going to take another pen and write and there and then i'll write olive sometimes this pen it catches you see when i go around corners so if you have any tips for that let me know i am still trying to figure this all out i really messed up that o it is much easier to letter on my ipad using procreate it's a lot smoother the pen is very tricky i'm just going to go back in and fill that in a little bit okay so archer and olive i'm just gonna write team meeting and this is a tool point seven pen and i will link all these pens and everything in the description box but you can also go to my amazon shop and it has like all of my favorite pens in there and stuff so if you ever you know are curious about what i use all the different products i use um are there most of them okay so that is at 12 o'clock okay so now i have to get another box let me just look in here and see if there's smaller boxes in here okay maybe one of these let's see i don't think there's the sizes i want in here there's these ones but they're kind of big i might use those for something else though okay let's use one of these appointment stickers again i wish they had they had green throughout this book but it's only in the beginning of the book so let's use um i guess let's use wait let me look at the other side i guess yellow or how about yeah how about teal no how about yellow so i do put stickers in throughout the week you know when i do the before the pen videos you see the beginning stickers but then i always put other stickers in as well so my son has an appointment and i want to remind myself so i can remind him um so i'm just writing that in here and then that's at 11 o'clock okay and there are a couple birthdays on saturday that i want to remember but maybe i'll use these smaller ones that i saw those remember stickers i'm going to overlap this a little on a sunday i just like layering so that's what i'm gonna do and i have to find a way to bring in more of this green throughout spread i think but i'll try to work on that so here i'm just going to write i'm going to take a smaller pen this is a 0.5 muji i'm going to write john's birthday john is my old boss when i used to work at remax and then i'm going to take another one i guess probably this guy here and this is also um marisol's birthday she is one of my patrons i want to remember to wish her a happy birthday okay so saturday is already filled up so the second so there i don't have any other things going on throughout the week like no other appointments or anything like that so it's a pretty light week um the next thing i typically do and i do this in different orders like sometimes i'll do to-do lists first or whatever but i'm gonna put a gratitude section here i always put a gratitude section in pretty much every spread sometimes i forget but typically i do that so i'm going to take i'm trying to decide what type of lettering to do this week but i am going to incorporate some of this lettering and typically when i start and i use one type of lettering i make sure that throughout the spread i use that same type of lettering in another part of the spread so over here i wanted to use the brush pen but for my to write grateful but i just think that there's not enough room and it will go outside the lines and that will bug me so i'm not going to do that so i'm just going to use this same pen that i used here and this over here this sticker said this week's love letter to myself so instead of writing what i'm grateful for about my life i'm going to write what i'm grateful for here about myself so that it um can kind of motivate me and you know it's good to do that once in a while so i'm just gonna write i whoops i already messed up i didn't mean to do that oh actually maybe i can change it i was going to do i am but i can do i'm i'll change that if you mess up try to change it to something else i am so grateful that i am okay now i'm going to write my list down here i'm going to take this 0.5 again i guess and i'm just going to write little bullet points and write things like i said that i'm grateful for about myself things that are good about myself so i'm just going to do a little heart for a bullet point for each one so ambitious and i'm switching to lower case because i like to alternate it for interest loving smart and this can seem like like you're conceited or something but honestly it's it's good to do this sometimes to remind yourself that you are worthy creative kind um funny sometimes depending on who you talk to strong and compassionate okay so that's my gratitude section for the week i can also put other things throughout the week if i want okay next next up i'm gonna use um some stickers maybe from that new household sticker book wait a minute let me find that because i want to mark the trash days because i tend to forget sometimes i'm hoping these colors will kind of coordinate it looks like they they do so let's take some icons there's got to be some trash icons in here i like how when they put out new sticker books they all like kind of coordinate you know okay so this is recycling and wednesday is recycling night and trash where's the trash one here it is your whole page of them whole page of them that's good okay so let's add in yellow i'm gonna put it below the recycling and then sunday night is my other night and i'm gonna take a dark red and put it um maybe up here okay and now i'm gonna write it in so i'm gonna take this pen again and make it fancy because why not make trash night fancy you know i mean we got to do it let's make it more fun so again i'm nervous putting this in my planner but i have to practice and the only way i'm going to get good at this lettering thing is to practice now i know that i'm good at actual like handwriting lettering and other forms of lettering but the brush to me is so tricky excuse me so that's why i want to practice brush layering now when you're writing in your planner it can also get difficult because most brush pens are sort of like oh i messed up that g are sort of bigger and you know we're used to writing kind of small in your planner so it can be a little tricky to find like a pen that's gonna be good um but i mean that's good enough so we're gonna do the same thing over here and when you're brush lettering like go slowly take your time do one letter at a time i have a long ways to go but i am very excited to see how i improve that's the good thing about also like i know i'm keeping a separate planner for lettering but it's also good just to write in my regular planner so i can look again like throughout at the end of the year and just see how i improved because sometimes i like looking through my planners from the beginning because not only did my spreads improve but my lettering has improved you know my regular handwriting has always been good but like as far as specialty lettering goes and stuff my lettering's gotten better and so that makes me happy to see all right so now that i have that stuff in i am going to put a couple of priorities over here and i do this once in a while but these aren't going to be things on my to-do list they're going to be things that i have been like nagging in the back of my mind that i have to do and i keep forgetting about them and like i transfer them for months and still don't do them and also like stuff that is stressful when i think about um not really stressful but just things i have to remember so i have an amazon points these are i'm not even going to explain these because they're like a long story each one but amazon points issue um toyota title issue i'm just going to write toyota title and um and then an insurance issue which is always fun so those are just three things that are nagging me so if you write down the things that are nagging at you at least it gets it out of your mind and onto paper right that's why i like doing brain dump every once in a while i'm gonna add another one here because i have another thing that's the wrong book i have another thing that's been nagging at me so let me put another one down there whoops i need my tweezers for this little guy it's so small put that there and then i'm gonna take that same pen and um i'm just going to write cable boxes because i have to return them and they've been in the back of my car for months it's been bugging me okay so now the next thing i'm going to do here is fill out my to-do lists now typically when i sit down to fill out my to-do lists i write like a little list on the side and then i fill them out and i also go back and look at previous spreads so i made my little list and when i did that i went back like through december in my planner and sometimes i'll go back even further because i put things off you guys i'm a procrastinator so i'll go back and just check that out now i also will refer to a brain dumplift list if i have done one recently although i haven't done one in a while so what i did this time was just went back looked at previous weeks see what was not checked off and then went from there okay so some of it's in my head and some of it's from previous weeks that just didn't get done so all laundry that's not from previous weeks i'm just like behind on laundry and i have to call the nissan dealer to get my inspection done bumble needs her tick and heartworm meds i have to change plenty with bumble auto pay that's just like a you know i just changed the card i'm using for planning with bumble for different stuff so i wanted to keep it all together um let's see furnace filter i need to get a new furnace filter and i keep forgetting and i've been putting that off for months and months and months and months and i have cats so i can't keep putting that off anymore um let's see i need to get my medical records from when i went to boston so i can give them to my doctor and let's see what else oh i still have to mail a patreon giveaway that i had not done last week and i need to get that finished okay so those are pretty important over here this is going to be a list that my son is living with me now and i need a list for him too so i need to sorry i'm keep clearing my throat my goodness um there's things i need to remind him of and help him with so i just want to make sure i have that down on my planner as well so um we need to talk about insurances so car insurance health insurance these are all things that he's been putting off and i need him to do um um bank issue and i'm just going to write missouri you don't really need to have information on what all that means but that's just a reminder to myself so those are the things for him that i want to remember and then i can just add anything else as i think of it okay um let me get a drink of water here um okay i have two other things i want to put in here and wow i forgot i had a gratitude box here and also this is popping up i forgot i i had a gratitude box put in so i will use this for other gratitude and i will fill that out in another on another day but there's also a couple things i wanted to remind myself of this week so since i don't have a lot going on tomorrow i'm going to put a reminder right here for myself and i'm going to take this same pen and i'm going to remind myself of this week's i mean this month's goal so each month i have a different habit that i'm working on and this month is wake up at seven o'clock every day now i know that's like not super early but it's earlier than i usually wake up i typically wake up 7 30 to 8 and i just want to make sure that i like really smash that goal this month and so and then maybe like next month i might shoot for six every day but the problem is i go to bed late so that's that's the issue like last night i didn't go to bed until like 1 30 in the morning which is ridiculous but okay so here i am gonna write monthly habits actually i should have written january habit but that's okay um i'm just gonna do habit like this monthly habit um so i'll just write i want to change pens actually i'm going to use my paper mate flare where's that over here i'm going to do it in italics wake up at 7 a m okay so that's just like a little reminder to myself and then the other thing i wanted to remind myself of this week is to work on my lettering my love letters planner every day because i am going to forget because it's not a habit yet so where can i write that in i'm just going to write it in here next to the monthly habit so that my habits are together and i don't really have anything yet for tuesday so i think that's okay and then i'm going to take a sticker that says don't forget let's see if there's one in here i mean there's these but i don't want to use those don't forget okay so let's use this darker one wait that says note to self er that's probably the one i needed let's see if there's another page of them or we could take the yellow was there a yellow one that says you got this i guess we'll just use the yellow don't forget i'll write it i'll put it right under this okay now i am just gonna um sorry i got a phone call and it cut me off so i'm just gonna write work on lettering i'm going to write work on daily lettering and i'm gonna try my hand at this brush pen again scares me um so we're just gonna do it we're just gonna do it i mean it makes sense to do it for the word lettering right except now i'm running out of room oh my goodness well i'm going outside the box i'm coloring outside the lines and oh well sometimes that's what happens i'm all right with that okay so i think that's it for today and like i said i'm going to come back in each day with you this week and just show you what i do in my planner i might go back in and touch up these letters to make them look just a little bit prettier and i'll probably be doing that with this paper mate flare i think just to clean up the edges so tomorrow you can come in and see how i cleaned that up all right i will see you guys tomorrow bye hey guys it is monday and it's like late morning it's like around 11 o'clock and i'm just sitting down in here to check out what i've got going on in my planner and bumble is as usual trying to play ball with me while i'm filming so i'm not ideal bumble so okay i haven't had a chance to do any of this stuff yet because it's you know monday morning like i said but today is actually my filming day so i am going to be working most of the day on filming videos for the following week so i'm just gonna go in here and write filming day i'm probably just gonna put it right in here bumble no you have to go find someone else to play with go play with ally um so i think i might write it just directly on the page and again i'm using this same brush pen and i'm really going to try here that's why i'm taking my time going very slowly hey ally can you please call her i guess she didn't hear me filming day this is so hard for me so hard for me okay as you can see i cleaned up some of this lettering like i said i was gonna do yesterday well this got messed up um so i just went in with my paper mate flare and just clean up the edges i don't really love this lettering but like i said it'll be nice to see improvement so you know that's always good i think just leaning on that messed it up a little bit because i think my hand was slightly wet because i just washed my hands yikes okay well it is what it is filming and now i'm going to take this same pen and i'm going to write day but i'm going to do it in like print i'm just gonna see how that looks with this pen i don't typically do that but day oh i wanted to do like a rounded a can i still do that no i'm not gonna try i mean that looks pretty good okay so i'm really just gonna be filming videos today so i don't have much going on i am going to mike's house tonight so i will probably put that in here not that i put it in every time i go to mike's house but sometimes if i need to fill up spaces in my planner i'll just say what i did that night and tonight i am going to go visit him so just looking to see if there's anything like to put here for that i guess not this is a caregiver sticker book so okay so i'm just gonna um write in mike's house in here mike is my boyfriend in case you are wondering okay so that's that um that's really all i'm gonna do right now nothing else has come up and i'm gonna leave this blank in case anything comes up throughout the day that i need to put in here and then i will come back tomorrow and just finish up monday and then write in tuesday and anything else in the future all right see you then bye so for tuesday unfortunately you're going to get a voiceover because i messed up and hit the mute button on my microphone so sorry about that but the rest of the video will be real time so what i decided to do was bring in a few florals and the reason is i have that little space next to that sticker over there and i didn't have anything to write in it and the way i like to plan is i like to fill up most of the available space on my planner i just think it's prettier that way at the end of the week and i just love looking back on it and seeing it all filled up now i also decided that i needed to bring in more of the green so bringing in decorative stickers like this is a good way to bring in that that color that might not be you know enough on the page and the caregiver sticker book does not have a lot of those green stickers so this is a good way to bring it in here i'm just writing that i'm going to be having to send videos that i filmed today to my daughter heather because she is my new virtual assistant and i don't know if i talked to you guys about this earlier in this video but the problem is i film every day and forget what i talked about the other days anyway um i gotta just refine myself to do that i i do know that i have to do that and down here i'm writing that today's a filming day and i also know that but the big happy planner has so much space that sometimes i do not have enough stuff to fill it up so i just put in what i want to put in the reason i use the big happy planner is it gives me so much room to decorate and there are certain spreads that are going to be super super decorative and if i do that in a classic i'm not going to have enough room to write so i'd rather have more space than less and that's why i do that over here i'm just writing that there is a happy planner squad zoom meeting and i don't know the time yet so i'm going to write it down there underneath and i'll see you guys tomorrow this one's going to be super quick because last night actually came on and wrote a couple things down and i did not film it sorry but i i made 10 spreads in one day yesterday like what like that is crazy that's for my patrons and um they get custom spreads like the top tier one and like oh my gosh i was so tired by the end of that but um i love all the spreads i did even the ones i did at the end so i found out my quality doesn't go down it's just like i wanted to just see if i could get them all done in one day and i want to get them mailed out so i feel good that they're all done but wow that was a lot of work um so i'm going to go back into the to the caregiver sticker book and fill up this section here i don't have much going on today except for work i am going to leave this blank down here in case i need to fill anything in um but i'm just going to take this like little stay positive flag here and when i just decide to put stickers in through the week i am like balancing the sticker like the colors as i go along and since i really don't have anything else today well i do want to put a grocery shopping um sticker in hold on okay i have this little one here ellie's gonna go grocery shopping for me today so i'm just gonna put that in but like i don't really have anything else and so i could take another one of those flowers so let's get that book and grab a flower to put in that space just to fill it up because you know like i said i am crazy about filling up my planner i love how it looks when it's filled out so i wonder if that would work is that too big it's probably too tall yeah um i just love how it looks when it's complete like that so that's what i'm gonna do and let me grab one of those so i don't know if i i can bring in like another color maybe like this one i think i can do that i'm just gonna like layer it on top of that little flag and then put a little leaf there okay like i know that's a little weird that it's coming out from there but i think that's all right and yeah that's all i'm doing today and then i'll come back tomorrow and fill out like this portion and whatever else i need to do tomorrow okay see you then hey guys it's actually friday i did not write my planner yesterday and i'm just keeping it real i'm not gonna fake it i always tell the truth in these videos so i think like i just want you to know that sometimes that happens and i don't write my planner for a day and that's okay you know as long as i keep going with it for the rest of the week and refer to it and stuff it's fine it doesn't have to be every single day so let's put a couple of things down um i just want to make a note here and my planner can sometimes be also sort of like a memory tracker i put you know certain things down that happen in the world once in a while and let's face it january 6th was quite a day um for america um so i am just going to put down something about that because i feel like i should you know acknowledge it in here um i'm just gonna write sad [Music] and scary uh should i put it i'll put down here day four and then i'll put um let's see let me grab another pen here let me get a tombow um no let me get a tool point seven i guess oh my pens are falling i thought i had one here i'll just use a i'll use a tool point five and i'll just say the united states i'm just going to do a little arrow here so i remember i mean i'm going to remember but okay just so that you know i acknowledge in my planner like i said i like to do that when big things occur and that was quite a big thing and a hard day for us as americans and so i wanted to put that down okay so now i'm gonna go and put a couple more things on my to-do list even though i haven't gotten much done this week because i've been working so much um let me just grab the point three eight wait am i using 0.38 here yes i guess i am so down here i'm gonna write some fun things that i am not necessarily fun but things i'm grateful for this week and it's just going to be like you know kind of a bunch of things all over the place so i am going to take i really want that tool where did that go i'll use this one this is the a white one i love this one it's so pretty um and i'm just going to kind of write all over this i'm just gonna do life sometimes all it takes is just like be grateful that you're alive you know and then i'm gonna take this .38 and just do like little hearts and stars throughout it because there's these little gaps and i don't really like it so we're just gonna spice it up with just some slight little doodles there okay so that's my gratitude section even though i had this one over here as well it's good to have as much gratitude as you want in your planner so let's go into the sticker books here so i've got these two sticker books i've been working with i want to get a box for this because i do want to acknowledge that i got my archer and olive welcome pack and it's really exciting and the products are so cool and cute so i'm just gonna put i hate using i hate using up yellow boxes so i love yellow boxes so much hold on do i want i feel like a turquoise box or i mean up like a blue teal-ish box you get no because then there's this this and this all right let's use the yellow and i guess i just have to buy more of these caregiver sticker books i don't know i love the yellow i'm going to cover up some of these because i don't need all of those lines because i really i have lines over here too so i'm hating by the way i'm hating this lettering that i i've done i for some reason it's really bothering me don't like it but you know it's it's just and i know most of you will be like oh my gosh mario it's so good but i'm just not like i'm not satisfied with it and i i don't know why but so i think like uh going forward i might i don't know it's big i guess that's maybe that's my problem like i want a smaller script writing and i don't know that i have a pen that's like gonna do a small enough writing i don't know anyway um i can always turn the page to a new week soon right so it's okay although i do like the spread so let's go in and get um what pen did i use here um did i use a paper mate flare there i don't think so i think maybe i use this this one i can't remember but i'm going to go ahead and i'm going to write received does that look the same i don't know received my [Music] now i'm gonna do archer and olive in like this same lettering so that it's um looks like kind of similar like i said i like to bring in the same type of fonts throughout the spread just to make it sort of cohesive so that is what we're doing here i'm going to color in this here i'm going to use a mild liner yellow my liner because i think that this color is going to pretty much match that so my eyes are bugging out right now trying to do this but i'm just going to do this i have a um i have a lazy eye and i have amblyopia as well and so it and it makes my it makes it hard and that's why like when i do these and i know i keep saying this and i apologize but when i do these and my head's like kind of far from the page it's hard to write my best and like color my best and stuff because i really want to get my head down like right there because my eyesight is not good and it's not just blurry it's like if you have amblyopia you know what i mean it's kind of like it's really hard to explain it's it's kind of like um double vision but it's not quite double vision it's like um i don't know one and a half vision or i don't know how to explain it i'm used to it but it's something that i know is different from like i'm just testing pens because i'm trying to get this color to color this in i know it's different from like the average person's eyesight like i don't see the same as other people see and you know it's something i've lived with my whole life but it's also something that can sometimes be really annoying when i'm trying to do stuff and like my eyes are like bugging out and i can't really see what i'm doing and i hate that but it is what it is i'm wondering if this one will match so that's why if i get my head really close no that doesn't match if i get my head really close to the page it um it eliminates that a little bit so it's not so you know annoying um no so anyway that is that is that and that is why i complain about my head being far away because i can do such a better job if it's not and it annoys me that like when i film these videos and i can't do that that's not it either why can't i find a good pen i'm trying to either match this color or this color and like yeah it's not easy sorry this part's probably boring i guess i'll pause hold on okay well i have this one it's not great you see but it's close enough and i'm tired of looking so i'm just gonna color this part in so really nothing else what happened yesterday except and this was i actually received this on wednesday i'll write that in not that it matters like but i could have put that there but i wanted to put that thing i don't like the way i wrote there either anyways i know you're like stop complaining mary ellen oh my gosh okay so let's get nothing much else happened mike came over but he comes over all the time so i really don't like sometimes i write it in just because i need to fill the space but like honestly it's not something i really need to write in but i'll fill this space with a flower let's do that let's throw a flower down and it looks like we're using these like roses here um i wonder maybe i it's not going to match no i'm not sure let's do another one of these actually it doesn't look like a rose i don't know what that is um i'll put it down here let me get my scissors where did it go i moved things around because i cleaned oh my gosh you're like i'm never watching another one of mary ellen's videos again is she so boring um i'll just put this like so just throw it down there to fill up that little gap because i don't like gaps and then we have this little piece so like maybe let's let's let's make it hang well maybe up here if it hangs out there it's too close for that color so i know that that's like kind of very small but it fills up that little space so that's good um so the happy planner squad meeting well let me color this in that um has been scheduled for 11 o'clock which is good because the archer and olive meeting is at 12 o'clock so that won't coincide with that okay so today i'm pretty much just working like i feel like most of my days are like that it's like what do i put in my planner um remember what do i need to remember today i'm gonna write phone calls because i i do have to write phone calls i mean i do have to make phone calls today there's a few i need to make that i've been putting off because i always put i've told you guys this before i always put off phone calls all the time so um let's see what am i gonna put in there i could write some more stuff about what's going on in the world um and i might but let's put a flower in and some leaves to bring in like let's put some leaves down here actually bring in some green and then some more up here because i know i'm not going to need all that room to write and like i'll just fill it up now or part of it i wonder if i should bring in this one that's kind of orangey but it's different than the rest let's see oops i mean i think that's pretty good and then some leaves i was going to put them here but not sure maybe just here and then i can like fill in this area for whatever i need to later all right that's good i'm going to come back in here either tonight or tomorrow morning and just kind of fill up the rest of this and i do that so that i can post these on saturdays and then i usually leave like a little bit of blank space to write in what i need like if something comes up or something um but i like for some reason i like to put these out on saturdays and i like to get the pictures taken and everything saturday mornings so i will be back soon i mean you'll see me immediately but for me i'll be back in a little while all right see ya hey guys it is saturday actually it's saturday afternoon and i just didn't get around to um finishing this usually i post after the pen videos saturday mornings i don't know why i should probably do it sunday mornings but i'm gonna try to get that up today or tomorrow morning so i just want to finish this up um last night all i did was hang out with mike um we basically just watched the news like that's what we did and then watch shameless so i'm just going to write that in like i just like use this as memory planning sometimes especially if i don't have a lot going on so i'm just going to write that so mike and i and then i'm gonna change my pen and get the smaller guy um watched the news pretty much all night plus some i'll put this here in this writing shameless he's like trying to catch up to where i am i am on season nine he is still on season seven but i've been watching it with him as well to get caught up to where i am um and then here i'm just gonna write a little bit about what's going on in the world so i'm gonna get a .5 i guess so i'm just to write just a little bit about the current events here okay so today i had the archer and olive team meeting i'm just going to write a little arrow here that says it went well that was my first team meeting with them they're really nice and then honestly there's not much else going on today today is like a really calm day i'm just doing a couple of work things and i may go to mike's house later um so maybe i'll put a flower there i don't know um tomorrow is my cleaning day so i'm gonna write that in here um i wonder if i should try brush lettering again yuck not yuck it's just like it's so hard for me um but i will because i did a lot of brush lettering here and i only did this one there so i really do have to balance it out so let's i did that there too so let's try it though um that's so hard i can't fit cleaning in darn it so i'm just gonna end terrible it's terrible look at that look at that i didn't like oh my gosh i didn't do thin on the upstroke i really need some practice you guys um i'm just gonna write clean all day i probably won't clean all day but all right um and then maybe i'll find like a little cleaning icon or something let me go into uh uh wait where did i get these from the household the new household one let me do that all right instead of that i'm gonna go into this all the plans is that where this came i'm trying to remember where this came from and maybe it came from here maybe it did i know that you guys just saw it but for me it was like the beginning of the week you know um it actually might have been the household one i don't know anyway i'm going to just put i'm just gonna take one of these tidy up stickers i guess um let me take this guy and yes i still didn't paint my nails and that's because i want to give them a rest i don't know if i told you guys that i should really like keep better track of what i say on these um so let me just look at this for a second oh this is so cute i was gonna have something for nails but it says nail appointment i mean i can take that off but let's put a little cat on here the color matches and it's cute let's put it here i don't know why i don't know why i just kind of like him hanging out there um and then like here there's a tiny little space i mean i don't really need to fill that up i think i'll just leave that be okay so here oh so let me make my list of things i need to do for the house so i need to change the sheets clean my bathroom vacuum kitchen and living room clean out the refrigerator there's a lot of old food in there right now yuck um what else that might be those are the main things because i do have cleaning people that come they were coming every two weeks now they come once a month so i really do need to like keep on top of it like you know before they come because i don't want to let it get gross okay um so down here i have this space and i might leave that blank actually in case something happens tomorrow i need to document but i think i'm not going to i think i'm just going to do a little quote here and then like i'll have room here and like up here in case i need to write anything else so let's do that let me grab um i'm just going to do a paper mate flare because there seems to be a lot of like bold writing over here i'll admit i'm not a fan and i think i said this in my video but i'm not a fan of the way i filled out the spread and i'm kind of mad that i did this on and after the pen but it's all right it just shows that you know we're all human and we all have times when we love our planners and then we all have times when we're just like uh you know i'm kind of happy to turn the page that's kind of what it is for me this week although i do like the stickers it's just not there's something about just not thrilling me so um i'm just doing plan a happy life here and i really want to do happy and you know i'm just going to do happy in this because i don't want to use the brush pen right now i'm frustrated with myself this is much easier for me plan a happy life which is like the happy planner the happy planner tag thing okay um let's grab a flower or two um and just put a couple down so whenever you have like a quote box like that i mean not a quote box like a colorful box and you really don't know what to put in it like you know you can always just write a cute little quote it fills it up and you know it's a happy thing i don't know i just think it's that's what i just i do you know um [Music] did i use this one before yes so let's use this one again i'm gonna put it here it's just gonna fill up this little gap here so let's see whoops okay there we go and [Music] that might be it all right i think that's it anyway i know this was a long video so if you're still here with me thanks for sticking it out um and i do these after the pen videos like every two weeks or so or at least like twice a month i seem to be doing them so i know you guys like to see them it's just a little bit more work for me because it's not as relaxing as just sitting down and writing my planner it's actually like sitting down and filming it every time so it's just a little harder um anyway i hope you liked it and if so please click that like button i appreciate it when you do that it makes me happy and i will see you in my next one take care and i hope you have a great rest of your weekend see ya bye [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
