Current Happy Planner Set Up (plan with me, part one!) ?️ ?
Introduction
Hello everyone! Welcome to the channel! If you're a returning subscriber, thank you for sticking around; if you’re new here, I'm Roxan, also known as By Bun. I’m an artist, illustrator, and a proud member of the Happy Planner community. It’s a wild ride, and I’ve never been happier!
My Happy Planner Journey
Since July, I’ve transitioned from my Hobonichi planner to the Happy Planner system, which has been documented over on my Patreon. In this video, I'm eager to show you the setup process as I prepare for the fall season with lots of exciting new supplies.
Here's what you can expect in this chaotic yet fun video:
Fall Setup: I will transform my planner for the fall by adding a new cover, replacing discs, and re-arranging various components to fit the season.
Archive Planner: It’s time to relocate pages from my current setup into an archive planner. This system is necessary for keeping my planner organized while moving out things I no longer need on hand.
Tarot Journal Setup: As I explore the Happy Planner, I’ve realized it would be an ideal system for creating a Tarot journal. I intend to pull ideas together for this project here as well.
Current Planner Tour
Before we dive into the organization, let’s take a quick tour of my current setup. I acknowledge it’s a bit cluttered; that’s part of the charm! I’ll be flipping through my planner as I reorganize, so let’s get started.
The Front Section: The front is filled with fun stickers I’ve arranged with adhesive, perfect for repurposing. I've also got a yearly overview along with some goal lists; I tend to use Post-it notes for flexibility.
Monthly Tracker: I track my YouTube and Patreon video requirements here. This helps me stay organized on what content I need to produce for the month.
Books Read Area: I enjoy keeping a record of all the books I read. In August, I tackled six books—including some hefty ones!
Weekly Layout
My weekly layouts have evolved into a chaotic but effective system. I find a rhythm that allows for flexibility; video ideas get shuffled around based on my availability. I use a three-row format to categorize my calendar: physical appointments, work tasks, and personal commitments.
Typically, I do the bulk of my decorating at the end of the week, known affectionately as “sticker barf.” It’s a way of expressing creativity while tracking the important to-do items for work and personal life.
Planning for Fall
I plan to implement new sections for my planned Tarot journal and reorganize parts of my current setup into an archive planner. By the end of this video, I hope to have a well-structured system that feels fresh for the upcoming fall season.
In conclusion, we’ll break away here, and I'll return with part two where I will dive deep into the archive planning and the Tarot journal setup. Stay tuned for more content!
