I have not prepared anything about this, but I recently posted a article showing you guys my first impressions of an inkwell press planner, but this is in a really different orientation.
This is in a horizontal orientation and I’ve. Never in my life worked with a horizontal planner. My mind works this way and not this way one of you guys said hey. I challenge you to do a mock plan with me in this planner. So I’m going to say to you challenge accepted girl, alright, so I am NOT going to choose to do it in August which this so this is my normal planner, I’m like all over the board here you guys.
This is what I normally use for my planner. It is an Erin Condren, on-the-go life planner and the hourly layout in the colorful version, with a platinum coil, and I’m going to use this spread as inspiration and I’m going to try to mimic this as much as possible. I should have almost all of the same stickers available, I’m going to see if I can recreate this in a way that makes sense to my brain in here.
I don’t know this is going to be like really challenging you guys, like. I feel like it’s going to be a real challenge for me to even do this. We shall see so this little guy is going to be kind of over off to the side, or maybe you just put it in the front here. I don’t know my tripods kind in the way yeah it’s like it’s too much in the way. Okay, I’ll put it off to the side over here for reference and we’re just going to go for it.
So some of the colors might be a little bit different in there, but I’m going to still use the same washi from my shop. I’m hoping I have enough washi, because I have an idea of how I would lay washi in here. If I were to use this, this might be totally weird, but we’re going to we’re going to try it okay Square this up, because the last time I did a little washi rip, it didn’t go well, and this is going to be like extra fuzzy.
I’m just going to let you guys know now, because this is going to take me a really frickin long time. Oh goodness, so we will see. Should I go all the way to the end yeah? Why? The hell? Not you know? Oh I’m, almost out of washi. Hmm: okay: let’s: let’s do it like this? Let’s go all the way to the edge, because I have an idea. Okay, so I would put washi up at the top here, but then I would cut off the excess and repurpose this on another page.
Oh well that still looks kind of cute okay and then I would take it over on this side. I don’t does this look dumb, it might look a little dumb, just kind of kind of winging it cuz. This whole page orientation is a little a little much for for the fde over here all right and I still have got a little bit kind of sticking out at the top. I don’t care that much so I’m just going to fold it over because I’m not going to use the next page.
So if I was really using this, I would cut it off at the top okay. So there is that so we’ve got a little bit of color going on now um, maybe just maybe I could use the rest of this somewhere. I don’t know. I only have like a little tiny bit on my washi sample here, but we’ll save that we’ll save that for just a moment. Okay, I’m going to grab out my Christian designs binder, because usually the first thing I put in is the articles that I upload.
So, let’s go to the icon event: stickers. Alright, I’ve got so many things going on over right all right, so I’m not too worried about like the colors that match over in this, just because I am just going to use whatever, because clearly these are just fine. Using whatever works, so, let’s see – let’s put these in okay, so now they’re all written in hmmm. What I do okay, so I think I would put these like in my little sidebar thing over here, since it’s just something that uploads and I don’t really need to like work on it throughout the day.
If that makes sense. So, let’s put this in here: okay and I did donation tracking on Tuesday. Oh my gosh, this like stresses me out you guys. I don’t know how people can plan this way. I’m sure look at my plan with me. Article isn’t go! Oh my gosh, like that’s too much like I can’t. I can’t plan that way either. So you guys are really getting me out of my comfort zone right now and it’s just. I have a lot of anxiety doing that, even though I know it’s not like real, but that’s alright, but you know what gives me like.
A lot of satisfaction in my life is finishing up a sticker sheet. This is so satisfying. I know some people like really hate this and get really kind of stressed out that they, you know like. Oh, my gosh, I’m down a sticker sheet. I look really enjoy it. I really really do okay. So then, my home project tracker and then my manicure tutorial was up on Sunday, okay, so that is it for my OTT. Alright, I feel like there’s going to be a lot of editing in this article, because, oh my and since I already have my Christian designs binder out, I’m going to put in my dinner thing on Tuesday.
Alright, I’m going to put a time in here too, because it like stresses me out to not have a time in here, so I don’t these things. How do you guys do this? If you guys do plan with me, is or you’re on Instagram or something? Let me know in the comments and like put your blog or your Instagram down below. I want to see your spreads, because this is really stresses me out: okay, mmm, alright! So maybe I’ll put this like right here I don’t know, I don’t know where.
To put. I know I’m going to like instantly regret that when I go to actually using other stickers in just a few minutes, yikes alright. So next up, I am going to be using my coffee break planner stickers and I have a bunch of them here we go. I need a bunch of these ones, so let’s just pull this sucker out. Alright, let me put in all the things I need to do. Alright, I need three of these okay, so now that I have all these in here, all right, so Monday, ooh – hmm we’re going to do this.
This is like so stressful okay, so I think I’m going to put this right here. Oh, I know I’m going to regret all of these things and then I think the same thing I’m going to put this also right here on Tuesday, oh I’m so unsure of myself. This is such a weird thing to be filming right now, all right and then the Thursday okay, I’m just going to put it in the same spot because, whatever okay, okay, so let me pull all the other coffee break, planner stickers, I’m going to be using.
So I used some hatbox, goodness, okay, so they were like kind of these watercolor e half boxes and then what else? Okay, then I grabbed a good event sticker as well all right cool all right, so I’m just taking something! Oh, my gosh, I’m all over the place today. Um put this up like the bottom, so I kind of did it at the end of the day, and Saturday was my filming day up at the top here. Oh my gosh was this Thursday, oh wow, okay, yeah! This is stressing me out, I am just a stress case right now.
Oh wow, I feel like, even though I have all the stickers that I normally use. Clearly, you know when you’re planning and a different orientation, you probably wouldn’t use the same stickers, but I wanted to like really challenge myself to use the same type or style of sticker just to see if it would work with this. But this dresses me out. Okay, so let’s get back to doing the bulk of this because now I’m finally done, I think I have all of the coffee-break planner stickers in here.
I don’t have all of my Christian design stickers in here, but that’s okay, I’ll just kind of like do it as I go all right. So let me pull the stickers that I need to use in here. All right, I’m going to use my little notebook stickers and write exactly what I wrote on my other thing and we’ll see how it goes. Okay, so I wrote all the things down alright, so this one goes on Tuesday and I kind of thought this would be good like right on the side here, because it’s kind of more, I don’t know it to me.
It would be more like a to-do list. If you will um all right and then this was a Wednesday one, so this would go like right about here like that, and then this one was what Friday, okay, cool and again used up a sticker sheet. This makes me so excited to use up a sticker sheet, but it does not make me excited to plan in this orientation. Let me tell you guys: yall are challenging me today, alright, so on texts and emails, I used a little icon.
That was a computer, so I’ll put that right there to make it look the same, and I didn’t use any other icons on any of these other ones. Okay, cool, but I’m going to keep this over here cuz. I used a lot of icons in this spread. Alright, next a junk drawer, I did use this Adrianna Piper sticker, so I grabbed this little camera guy. I got ta be like smarter than the sticker paper. Alright, a little icon right there.
Alright, I also filmed a bunch on Tuesday I’ll put that up at the top here and just right boom, okay and then I also edited on Tuesday I basically edit every day, but you know whatever that down at the bottom. Here am I even in the frame. Oh wow, I am in the frame. Well, that’s a first! Sometimes I look up at the viewfinder and I’m like. Oh it’s all blurry and whoopsie DUP sees oh well, okay and then I need a little shopping bags today.
Let me let me find that all right. What color did I use stuff? I used a purple one okay, so I use a purple one again, not that it really matters, but what else Tuesday’s done? Thank goodness all right and I don’t think I did any other shopping all right. I think I’m good with that, my goodness all right and on Monday I went to my P o box and I had to do a Nordstrom return as well. So I’ll use this and let’s see it used a phone icon, so I’ll put phone icon in here.
Alright, so I made two phone calls laundry on Monday, okay and I use this stickers washi and more sticker sheet. I don’t know, I don’t know what that looks. Good, oh whatever. Oh, this coil I mean. Maybe that’s a reason why I’ve never liked. I mean clearly this orientation is like I’m at my speed. I think you guys can see that by now, but I like on a Wednesday in the Erin Condren, I hate using the paper on the Wednesday just because I can’t write anything effectively.
I feel like okay, so now Monday and Tuesday are done. Let’s go into Wednesday. I did make another phone call on Wednesday took Kay, so I’m going to put that in I’ll put that in kind of at the bottom here all right and then did you all right use this one and I used a purple one. So I’ll stick with purple. If I can still use the same color, I’m going to use the same color, okay and then these are from design pandemonium if y’all are interested, but I got them a few years ago.
So I’m not sure I’m not sure what people have still on their shops. Okay, there’s this okay they’re kind of in the center to kind of even out this space a little bit, and then I also used one of these, because I was taking photos yeah, okay, now Wednesday’s done Wow. This is taking me way too long, y’all, okay, so Thursday. I used one of these little package, icons all right and then I also used another one of these laptop stickers.
So I did some emails here. I don’t know okay, oh I do have another coffee break. Planner sticker hold on here ooh. Where do I put it though? Ah this is like. Oh, this stresses me out: okay, maybe they’re package orders, I don’t know. Oh my gosh. This like makes me so nervous. Okay and then my brother was here overnight on Thursday. All right – and I also used on this planner lifestyle podcast. I am going to put a little icon on here, but it’s not going to be the same.
I kind of used originally I’m just going to put like a little time thing on there and I’m just going to put in 4:30 cuz. That was our start time and we didn’t end for quite a long time, but that’s alright, let’s see do I have everything on Thursday. I think we have everything on Thursday, so let’s go and flip the page. Finally, oh my gosh – this doesn’t stress me out, but this really stresses me out guys: oh my gosh, um, okay.
So, on Friday I I ran to the post office because I had to send out all of my orders from my Etsy shop and then also I sent out some giveaway stuff too. So that was kind of exciting. Oh – and I already have my facebook listing thing in here – okay, so I only have a couple of things to put in here: okay, so but this little post office guy right here, alright, so I sent out orders and it give away and then I’ll take another One other clocks here, I’m a little icon sheet.
I had an appointment and then I’ll take one of these little pencil icons and I had to do some stuff on the internet with my Adsense, okay, cool, so, okay, everything is freaking me out. Everything is freaking me out, okay, so into Saturday. That’s my filming day. So I’m going to put a little camera here and then I’m going to use one of these little houses. I’ll just use this house here mom over and then I edited for the majority of the day, like I feel like I always do so.
I also on my other one just going to see I like put in these little checklist things, so I am going to do that in here as well. All right, I need what four of them just a little bit to give me a little bit of breathing room with the writing a situation. It’s all looking so kind of crooked y’all, I’m doing the best I can with. As stressed as this is making me okay. So then, on Saturday I filmed my budget September lay out a plan of first impressions and then my kitchen storage article, like a good planner person, you got ta check them off right.
Oh, I need to like Center, my Chi here seriously, all right, so I edited then on Sunday twice. So basically I just need to put it in once. I don’t know. Okay, where do I put things uh? Okay, I’m going to put it over on the side. Here I’m just going to write it and I used this um for my Saturday layout. So I’m going to just use up what I can on here. So I’m going to use this sticker, that’s not the same but kind of the same.
So my friend Kayla came over and she wanted my IKEA chair from my facebook listings that I did all right and I think I’m going to use this I’m going to do something a little bit different all right. So I did film a plan with me that day as well – and that’s really all I did on Sunday – was um edit and then I filmed only one article, but that’s alright. I’m going to put this like over here somewhere, I don’t know, I don’t have the exact same sticker because I used it and that’s all I had, though okay and I usually on my regular Erin Condren, which she would probably use for your notes or your weekly Focus, I don’t use it at all, so whatevs I’m going to leave a blank alright, so I am finally done with this spread y’all.
This stressed me out so so much like, I said before, if you guys plan in this horizontal way, leave your Instagram or something below, so I can see how you do it, because this is all over the place for me. I still love me my Erin Condren. So so much, but if you guys can see here I’ll kind of put it like this, so you guys can see like what stickers I used and this one versus this one and then I’ll kind of flip it and show you guys, the other one.
But I tried to use as many as the same stickers that I can I used. You know about 95 % exactly the same stickers. Some of the colors are a little bit just because I’m clearly using what I have and then, if I go like this, let’s go like that because Thursday is down here and Thursday is on this page. So you guys can see how I mixed it up. A little bit there’s a couple stickers I just didn’t have anymore, but for the most part it’s exactly the same, but this makes my mind work a little bit better and also I mean.
I hope that this article isn’t super long for y’all. But this took me probably about triple the time that it normally does, because this was stressing me out so dang bad, even though I already had a template to go off of it still just isn’t working for me. So I know that I have made the right choice in planning in a vertical manner and not a horizontal manner, but that’s alright. I think we all just have to figure out what works for us.
So I’m pretty sure that this is going to be a pretty long article, I’m not sure. Hopefully I can edit down a little bit more, but you never know so if you guys like this so make sure to give it a thumbs up. I don’t think I will ever plan again in this type of version, at least not in a decorative way, but let me know what you guys think in the comments down below did I do a good job, or is this too messy for you too? I don’t know, but thanks for hanging out with me for a little part of your day, if you liked the article make sure to give it a thumbs up, if you made it this far seriously give yourself a thumbs up.
