|

This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 3946 from Monday the 18th of September 2023.
|
||||
Today's show is entitled, Planning for a Planner Part 2.
|
||||
It is hosted by some guy on the internet and is about 36 minutes long.
|
||||
It carries a clean flag.
|
||||
The summary is, Scoti and Bumblebee discuss disbound planners, agendas, ink pens and more.
|
||||
Previously on Hacker Public Radio.
|
||||
So it depends where you go.
|
||||
The ones that Dollar Tree that have capped, not great, in my opinion.
|
||||
Alright, I'm just going to put this out here that she's totally wrong and believe nothing she has to say from this point forward.
|
||||
We return to normal broadcasting or something like that.
|
||||
Well, that's another thing since you mentioned the ruler.
|
||||
That's a good point too because what I do is so happy Planner has, they have these dividers.
|
||||
There are many dividers.
|
||||
So they're like a quarter of the page.
|
||||
So they're not a whole entire page or like a quarter of it or so roughly.
|
||||
They're made for like bookmarks.
|
||||
That's another thing is really good to have with these is they put them in the disc biners to make it as a bookmark for your pens that you make color coded.
|
||||
So let's say you use black, blue, red and I don't know, yellow.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
I use several different colors, but let's just use those.
|
||||
If you don't use those colors all the time for the same things, you want to also have a key.
|
||||
Because before you know it, you might just be adding different colors for different things and totally forgetting what you know that red was made for really like appointments.
|
||||
And then black was just normal and blue was made for, you know, household stuff or whatever.
|
||||
And that's what I use for that.
|
||||
So I use like dividers or I use bookmarks.
|
||||
So they have lots of bookmarks for the disc bound.
|
||||
They're actually really easy to make.
|
||||
Again, if you buy the whole puncher, you can make covers bookmarks, dividers.
|
||||
You name it really easily.
|
||||
I have three binder, three dividers in my book for my specific one.
|
||||
One is for the actual months.
|
||||
One is for notebook paper.
|
||||
And one is for scheduled events.
|
||||
So I have flyers in my book.
|
||||
So what I'm understanding with that whole punch, like if you were to get like the plastic material that that a bookmarker, whatever is normally made out of, you just punch it and then stick it in the ranks.
|
||||
Absolutely.
|
||||
What, believe it or not, I use Dollar Tree folder.
|
||||
I got a folder from Dollar Tree.
|
||||
The plastic one.
|
||||
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
|
||||
I cut it to the size that I wanted, whole punched it and used it as one.
|
||||
I'm totally in it.
|
||||
Where did you get that?
|
||||
Where did you get the whole punch?
|
||||
The whole puncher that I got specifically, I bought from, I believe I bought it from Joanne's.
|
||||
That's another store that I did mention earlier.
|
||||
Joanne's, for people that didn't know, Joanne's has a contract with Happy Planner.
|
||||
So Joanne's will get the newest stuff and more quality than in quantity than any of the stores.
|
||||
Yeah, they always have a ton of them in there.
|
||||
I noticed that's where I see a lot of them at.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
I see Ross also has some in there, but Joanne's is like loaded and they even have all the accessories.
|
||||
Because they were the first ones to start selling it.
|
||||
So they started selling them with Joanne's besides their website.
|
||||
Yeah, because I'm thinking that's, I want the plain guts though, like line paper guts or whatever.
|
||||
Do they sell that?
|
||||
Be more specific.
|
||||
Do you mean like the planner or just line notebook paper?
|
||||
Like basically line notebook paper that I can put inside these rings.
|
||||
Or can I use regular?
|
||||
Absolutely.
|
||||
Okay, yeah, because that's what I want.
|
||||
Absolutely.
|
||||
I like to draw my planner out because I've just been doing it with notebook for so long.
|
||||
I kind of want to keep that going and it allows me to customize to what I need when I need it.
|
||||
And with this whole punch, I can just punch out a bookmark and be good to go.
|
||||
And same thing with dividers as well.
|
||||
So you can actually separate like, you know, have the divider for like these are the old months.
|
||||
I don't want to have to go back to them unless absolutely have to.
|
||||
And you know, or this is where I'm going to keep notes at versus the actual calendar material.
|
||||
That kind of thing.
|
||||
Yeah, that's fantastic.
|
||||
Yeah, because I have, I do scrap paper a lot.
|
||||
Let's say I, you know, was in class or whatever and I didn't have time to search for the date of date or whatever.
|
||||
I can just flip my page, my flip my book to the back of the book, quickly write a couple notes down and then close my book.
|
||||
And then later on that day, I can move that page.
|
||||
It happens all the time, believe it or not.
|
||||
And I have that ability to do that.
|
||||
Yeah, I know.
|
||||
Other planners, you don't.
|
||||
I do have four school.
|
||||
I go to Walmart, wherever you can buy them, just regular loose sleeve binder paper.
|
||||
The one that has three holes, my book is not the big planner.
|
||||
The big planner, I believe, is the pages are eight and a half by 11, I believe.
|
||||
But the small planner is seven by nine inches.
|
||||
I just get that paper.
|
||||
I cut it to that size.
|
||||
And then I whole punch it.
|
||||
And again, loose leaf paper is not as thick as the regular happy planner paper to be mindful for that.
|
||||
But what I'm just doing notes for school is very simple.
|
||||
What's the significance of that?
|
||||
When you said that it's not as thick as the happy planet paper, what should we be on the lookout?
|
||||
Should we choose to use loose leaf anyways?
|
||||
What problems would we run into since it's standard?
|
||||
Um, obvious ripping because it is thinner paper.
|
||||
So you just have to be more careful with that.
|
||||
But since it isn't a dispound, it is safer that way.
|
||||
But it's just, it's just like if you have it in a notebook.
|
||||
You know, if you have, if you have it in a spiral, if you have it in a binder, it's still thinner paper.
|
||||
It's more see-through.
|
||||
It's just the paper itself.
|
||||
Hmm.
|
||||
Well, okay.
|
||||
I thought that it might fall off the disk faster or something like that because it's thinner.
|
||||
It does happen sometimes.
|
||||
So I make sure I put, when I do mine, I make sure I have at least 50 to 100 in the book.
|
||||
So they can hold themself together.
|
||||
Exactly.
|
||||
And then I definitely, definitely make sure I have it when I'm traveling with it.
|
||||
I have the bound part facing down.
|
||||
I know that sounds really goofy.
|
||||
For some reason, when you have it facing, it, like, puts so much pressure on the tip of the, the cover.
|
||||
So I put the bound downwards, not upwards.
|
||||
And that seemed to help.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
Now, I don't know if I explained that right.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
Like, the source is sitting with the rings at the bottom.
|
||||
Mm-hmm.
|
||||
That's what I do personally.
|
||||
And then make sure it's like with other objects, like just leaning up against something.
|
||||
Now, have you ever tried the rocket book?
|
||||
Nope.
|
||||
Never even heard of it.
|
||||
The rocket book was supposed to be this great little idea where you had a book that you never had to throw away.
|
||||
It was basically laminated pages.
|
||||
Each of the pages had a QR code on them.
|
||||
You would get the rocket book app.
|
||||
And you would use these special pens.
|
||||
There were, there were not exactly dry, raised pens, but something similar.
|
||||
You know, some kind of ink you could wipe away with a microfiber cloth.
|
||||
That kind of thing.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
You were right on the book.
|
||||
And once you got your notes and then you started filling up the book, basically you used the app, scanned the page.
|
||||
You know, it would take like a picture of the page with that QR code on it.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
And categorize it in the app for you.
|
||||
And then you could just wipe the book clean and start all over again.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
I have heard of some.
|
||||
I have not heard of that brand specifically.
|
||||
But I have heard of some like that.
|
||||
I don't oppose of the idea.
|
||||
I really don't.
|
||||
I oppose of it.
|
||||
I think it's horse-asker.
|
||||
I bought one.
|
||||
And I am not happy with my purchase.
|
||||
I'm very interested.
|
||||
The reason why I agree with that is I wouldn't want to spend all my time erasing everything for one thing.
|
||||
And then two.
|
||||
I don't know.
|
||||
It's just something about like if you have to erase it with a microfiber cloth.
|
||||
Is it really staying on there when you close the book?
|
||||
That would be my thing.
|
||||
Like if you close the book, if it's made with the dry erase marker or type of whatever.
|
||||
Does it really erase?
|
||||
Like those are racable pens.
|
||||
They don't really have many of them anymore.
|
||||
But they used to have these are racable pens.
|
||||
I remember those.
|
||||
I feel like when you erased, you still saw some of the residue.
|
||||
Like worse than a pencil.
|
||||
Here's what I'm going to point out with this whole concept of the rocket book.
|
||||
One, the pages were like some sort of laminated card stock page or whatever.
|
||||
So in order for you to get the pen to write on it, you had to be pretty forceful.
|
||||
And it would write sort of half onto the page.
|
||||
So it would be very, very sketchy.
|
||||
Like almost like your pen was running out of ink.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
Two, if you ever left the pen in any kind of temperature differences, it would ruin the pen.
|
||||
I left the pen in the car one day and it ruined the pen.
|
||||
And you could only use their pens.
|
||||
There were no alternative pens.
|
||||
Well, some people said you could use alternative pens.
|
||||
They talked about something that you could use.
|
||||
But there were constant reviews that talked about how those pens ended up ruining the book.
|
||||
Meaning you wrote on the page with that pen and then you could not erase it.
|
||||
Now, the last thing I want to mention about it, because you had to use so much force to get the pen to write on the book,
|
||||
even though you were able to erase the ink off of it, the impression was still on the page.
|
||||
I am not happy with this book.
|
||||
The only reason I kept it around is just to remind me to hate it.
|
||||
Because it's a great answer.
|
||||
Well, the thing is, that's a lot of the books that I've noticed.
|
||||
I actually bought this one book that's spiral and I don't like spiral, but I love the guts of the book.
|
||||
So I ripped out every single page of this book.
|
||||
I just whole bunched it and shoved it in my book.
|
||||
That's the thing about there's so many planners to try out.
|
||||
And I, like I said, I've been, as soon as I discovered this planner,
|
||||
that is all I've ever done.
|
||||
I've been talking to you about it for God knows forever.
|
||||
When you were talking about planners, I was like, go to disc planner, it's wonderful.
|
||||
It's literally changed the way that I organized my life.
|
||||
Things that you normally would forget, it's just wonderful in my opinion.
|
||||
But I was remembering something I had told you a couple months ago.
|
||||
Remember those, I told you about those clear sticky notes that I told you about.
|
||||
Lear sticky notes.
|
||||
Yeah, I was trying to tell me about that, but it sounds cool, tell me about it.
|
||||
So they have these clear sticky notes.
|
||||
So I use, in my planners, I use tabs, I use these things to bookmark items,
|
||||
I use removable tabs, blah, blah.
|
||||
Well, like I said before, I'm in school.
|
||||
Sometimes I will get, I have these clear sticky notes.
|
||||
I'll send you a link to put down below.
|
||||
They have them at, the only place I've seen them so far is at staples.
|
||||
It sounds like packing tape.
|
||||
Like you just use packing tape.
|
||||
No, no, it's like, it's a little bit matted, only a little bit.
|
||||
The one thing I love about it is I can put it on, I put it on my textbook,
|
||||
one of my textbooks, and I traced out one of the diagrams.
|
||||
Is it perfect? No, because you're tracing it.
|
||||
But then you can put it in your book.
|
||||
So let's say you have like, you want to trace out, you know, a floral print or whatever.
|
||||
I mean, I don't know how much you guys would use it for, but it's great for students.
|
||||
Like, I have my tablet, and it doesn't ruin my tablet.
|
||||
Like I put it on my tablet, and I gently use it with pencil.
|
||||
And then when I took it off my tablet, I then put it in my book and my notebook.
|
||||
And then I traced it again, and I was able to color it in, do all the things.
|
||||
And it's like, it's more vivid in there instead of having the print.
|
||||
Staples, that's where I bought them.
|
||||
Clear sticky notes.
|
||||
So my guess is they got like a little bit of adhesive at the top, like a regular sticky note.
|
||||
But then the rest, the part that like, hangs down or dangles is clear.
|
||||
Well, all of it's clear.
|
||||
The whole entire thing is clear.
|
||||
I put it down, you barely notice it.
|
||||
Like I said, it's matted.
|
||||
It's not shiny. It's matte.
|
||||
So when you write on it, it doesn't feel like you're sliding.
|
||||
It feels like you're writing on legit paper.
|
||||
And then on top of that, they have no, but they do have two different types.
|
||||
Well, I mean, no, because it's paper, so it's recyclable.
|
||||
It's not plastic.
|
||||
Oh, it's paper.
|
||||
It's matted.
|
||||
It's like paper.
|
||||
It's not.
|
||||
Wait a minute.
|
||||
Hold on.
|
||||
I think it's plastic.
|
||||
You're saying like paper.
|
||||
It didn't.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
It doesn't feel like plastic.
|
||||
It doesn't feel like plastic.
|
||||
So I don't know.
|
||||
You've got to send the link to this.
|
||||
Before, I got to get a link of this because I mean, this sounds cool.
|
||||
Don't get it wrong.
|
||||
I'm interested.
|
||||
Unless we're killing whales.
|
||||
That's your deal.
|
||||
But, you know, then there's two different ones.
|
||||
There's one where the adhesive is just at the top.
|
||||
And then there's another one where the adhesive is at, is all four corners.
|
||||
You know, now that I'm thinking about it, I'm wondering about like a page protector.
|
||||
And if you could use one of those dry race markers on those, you think you can.
|
||||
I don't see why not.
|
||||
Because that might actually be kind of cool.
|
||||
I have a laminator.
|
||||
So I laminate a whole bunch of crap.
|
||||
I laminate anything I want to be reusable.
|
||||
But I guess you could do like, if you were doing like a bunch of math and stuff like that,
|
||||
you can have a bunch of just wrapped equations right there.
|
||||
Laminate it in the inside of your journal.
|
||||
I guess if you wanted a custom calendar, there will be another thing.
|
||||
You know, since you're going to be using it for the year or whatever,
|
||||
you could have it kind of laminated and stuck in there.
|
||||
Absolutely.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
So I'm going to send you the link right now.
|
||||
Yeah, because I definitely got to see.
|
||||
And please don't send that that a scammer.
|
||||
Is he going to like it?
|
||||
Who is an accident?
|
||||
I have the wrong one.
|
||||
I'm going to have to wipe my computer after this.
|
||||
I'm telling you.
|
||||
It's not a scammer.
|
||||
It's just Google being all dramatic.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
So this is the one.
|
||||
It just doesn't.
|
||||
It doesn't feel like plastic.
|
||||
I got to put my rocket book away real quick.
|
||||
I can feel the theory.
|
||||
I can feel a theory bubbling up inside.
|
||||
I'm going to put that away.
|
||||
You throw it in the trash.
|
||||
No, I'm putting it in the top of my.
|
||||
I have two filing cabinets.
|
||||
I had one beside me at my desk and the other in the closet.
|
||||
And I put it in the one by my desk.
|
||||
So every time I open the top cabinet, I see the rocket book
|
||||
and I can get mad all over again.
|
||||
Pack rat.
|
||||
I can want to look at it and remember never ever.
|
||||
Because when you when you see the marketing behind it,
|
||||
they marketed it so well.
|
||||
So it sounds like an excellent idea.
|
||||
Like one.
|
||||
One notebook and you never have to buy another one.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
And you can use it with technology, right?
|
||||
So basically take a photo of the pages.
|
||||
And then our, you know, basically save your photos
|
||||
when you're back up hard drive of these things
|
||||
that you wrote or whatever, right?
|
||||
The one notebook and you're good to go.
|
||||
But boy was, ooh, it is terrible.
|
||||
Oh, that's so funny.
|
||||
I have several ideas of things that I have made
|
||||
that some that have just turned out fantastic.
|
||||
And you learn as you go with a lot of the planner.
|
||||
So the one recommendation I have,
|
||||
I don't know how many people will buy stickers.
|
||||
Now, we buy this less is more.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
Less is more.
|
||||
Yeah, you're the one to talk about them.
|
||||
That's why I learned from my mistake.
|
||||
But on my defense, I use all of it and you know I do.
|
||||
That's why you, that's why you should do less is more.
|
||||
Because you do use all of it.
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
For me specifically, I'm a crafter.
|
||||
I'm big on crafting.
|
||||
I'm big on art.
|
||||
I'm big on girliness, ballbloss.
|
||||
So I knew I wanted stickers.
|
||||
They have packets for the happy planner that are like
|
||||
the basic beginner, blah, blah, blah.
|
||||
One that basically have a couple of flowers,
|
||||
a couple of hearts.
|
||||
They basically, you know, may the months,
|
||||
they have some numbers in there, etc.
|
||||
You know, call me here, blah, blah, blah.
|
||||
Stuff.
|
||||
And then just get a regular planner.
|
||||
Because if you go to all out, you will waste your money.
|
||||
If you end up hating it or if you end up just not using it or you don't have time.
|
||||
Example, the planner that you do, you do what we call
|
||||
us like planners, you do a bulletin planner.
|
||||
Basically, you use a notebook, you design your own blocks,
|
||||
you do your own thing.
|
||||
That's kind of, it's from scratch.
|
||||
You know, your own DIY planner.
|
||||
Mine's a Frankenstein planner.
|
||||
Mine is just a whole bunch of crap shoved into one.
|
||||
I prefer my planner to be everything.
|
||||
I also like to make my planner cute and pretty and blah, blah.
|
||||
And you have that option with Happy Planner specifically.
|
||||
But they do have some that are super plain.
|
||||
They also have some from Happy Planner that are undated,
|
||||
which a lot of people prefer to date their own planners.
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
The only downside that I have is it's not something you're going to do in five minutes.
|
||||
It's something that you're going to sit there and you're going to be committed to being there for like
|
||||
20, 30 minutes just dating the whole 12 months.
|
||||
No, no, you don't even, here's the thing.
|
||||
You don't even date the whole 12 months.
|
||||
You date what you need when you need it.
|
||||
So I'll, I'll know that, you know, okay, this month's going to be a busy one
|
||||
with several things that are coming up right now, right?
|
||||
So I'm going to automatically go ahead and get those few out of the way now.
|
||||
But then I'll, I'll sprinkle some blanks in between there,
|
||||
just so that way as things come up, you know,
|
||||
you're just going to fill this out real quick.
|
||||
That way I don't have as many empties at the end of the year.
|
||||
That makes sense.
|
||||
That makes sense.
|
||||
Because for me, I am more busy during the regular, I guess we'll say school year,
|
||||
than I am during the summertime.
|
||||
Like, I guess I can write my work schedule or doctor's appointments or stuff like that or chores or whatever.
|
||||
But I'm not going to add my school life because I don't do school during the summertime.
|
||||
I primarily just do it during school year.
|
||||
Summertime section is much shorter.
|
||||
There's times I take them out.
|
||||
But I also do fillers.
|
||||
There's sometimes where I don't have anything and I'll just cover it with a sticker.
|
||||
Because I might have done something on, you know, Monday through Thursday,
|
||||
but I didn't do anything Friday in the weekend.
|
||||
But other people may not like it that way.
|
||||
So I can understand like specifically with you, you want to make it.
|
||||
Just rip it out.
|
||||
You have that option.
|
||||
Yeah, I want, I want some, whenever there's a page in the book,
|
||||
that's because something needed to be done that day.
|
||||
That's what I, if there's a blank page in there,
|
||||
that means I have just wasted the opportunity to, to journal something, you know what I mean?
|
||||
So I hate, I hate the idea of just, you know, end of the year and putting this book away.
|
||||
And there's so many pages in there that I could not take advantage of.
|
||||
Now with this, this new approach here, where I can just get blanks and kind of, you know,
|
||||
manipulate them the way I need to.
|
||||
And, you know, I can get this blank one that you're talking about.
|
||||
What is it called?
|
||||
The blank cat?
|
||||
Is it just a blank calendar?
|
||||
Yeah, it's, it's literally just boxes.
|
||||
It's just, just think of.
|
||||
Oh, so they don't do a lot of some stuff?
|
||||
No, they do.
|
||||
It's just boxes.
|
||||
So think of how a normal calendar is.
|
||||
How will be hurt?
|
||||
Let me open one up.
|
||||
One, two, three, four, five, six.
|
||||
So they'll have six by seven boxes.
|
||||
That's how it will work.
|
||||
So then it will be completely empty.
|
||||
There's not dates in them.
|
||||
Nothing because you don't know how the dates are going to work that month.
|
||||
And for that year, because you know, every year is different.
|
||||
I mean, like obviously Thanksgiving is always on the Thursday.
|
||||
Mother's Day and Father's Day are always on a Sunday.
|
||||
But Christmas is always on the 25th.
|
||||
So it could be on a Tuesday one year or on a Saturday or on a Monday.
|
||||
It doesn't, you know, that's why they have it in that type of section and that type of...
|
||||
I was thinking about more like for the days, not that, not the full month of you.
|
||||
Do they have the blank ones for the days in the section?
|
||||
Do you mean the weekly is or do you mean specifically one whole day?
|
||||
Or I guess it would also be the weekly as well because in other words,
|
||||
it gives you the day and a few lines for you to jot down notes.
|
||||
That kind of thing.
|
||||
Absolutely.
|
||||
So what they do is they'll have...
|
||||
It'll be blank.
|
||||
So I'll have...
|
||||
Let's say you're doing the horizontal lines, like we talked about.
|
||||
On the left side, it'll say Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
|
||||
And then on the other side, I'll say Thursday, Fridays, and then Saturday, Sunday,
|
||||
will be next to each other in smaller blocks.
|
||||
But there'll be no date.
|
||||
There'll be absolutely no date on this.
|
||||
Is there an image of this?
|
||||
Could you link to that as well?
|
||||
Absolutely.
|
||||
I'm very interested in that one.
|
||||
Absolutely.
|
||||
If I don't do a regular notebook where I just have lines and I draw it in myself,
|
||||
that one will...
|
||||
I'll be able to throw a few of those in with it.
|
||||
That's very much my style.
|
||||
But I'm going to tell you the parents' sticky note that you shared.
|
||||
$5.19 for 36 little notes.
|
||||
Are you...
|
||||
Have you gone mad?
|
||||
No.
|
||||
I looked it up to see if there was anywhere else.
|
||||
I just happened to find it at Staples.
|
||||
I also had a coupon for them.
|
||||
So I only got them for $1.50.
|
||||
But I found them on Amazon for $150 sheets for $4.
|
||||
So they're cheaper.
|
||||
I looked at the material, Mr. I'm apparently killing the wheels.
|
||||
They're made out of pet material, PET.
|
||||
And they're 100% water resistant and they're 100% recyclable.
|
||||
Pet plastic is not single use.
|
||||
It is 100% recyclable.
|
||||
That's what it says on Google what pet stands for.
|
||||
Well, we understand that Google is not to be trusted.
|
||||
Well, you know, I'm about to not send you this undated pages with your scam links.
|
||||
Or I'm going to make sure I send you a scam link with that and tell you what it is.
|
||||
Be forced to click it.
|
||||
No, no, it's fine.
|
||||
It's fine.
|
||||
I just opened it.
|
||||
It's really fine.
|
||||
I'm on it.
|
||||
And as soon as I click on it, I disconnect from the internet.
|
||||
Your whole computer crashes.
|
||||
Start smoking.
|
||||
You'll smoke just like your gravy did.
|
||||
Well, I got the fire department on speed down now.
|
||||
So it's okay.
|
||||
Sounds about right.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
The great thing about Happy Planner is you can just make it your own.
|
||||
That's the thing.
|
||||
You can make it 100% your own.
|
||||
You can make it however you want.
|
||||
If you have kids, you can have their kid schedule on there.
|
||||
I've seen people use it for like soccer tournaments and X, Y, and Z,
|
||||
not just as a regular planner, but they have like more involved.
|
||||
They actually started making a teacher version for the Happy Planner.
|
||||
Like it's a huge one.
|
||||
It's the big planner.
|
||||
And it's specifically the teachers version.
|
||||
I actually bought one one year for my schooling.
|
||||
I changed it up about like I put stickers covering certain parts of it.
|
||||
So I can make it for school specifically because I like the how it had horizontal blocks.
|
||||
Instead of the vertebral blocks, it was wonderful.
|
||||
It was wonderful.
|
||||
And I still have the cover.
|
||||
Literally, it's right next to me.
|
||||
And I use it as my notebook for school.
|
||||
And it says school days on it.
|
||||
And it has an apple, glasses, and a pen and paper on it.
|
||||
And it's really cute.
|
||||
It's adorable cover.
|
||||
And it's for the teachers.
|
||||
But I just use the cover to hold my paper for my notebooks.
|
||||
And it makes me remember that this is...
|
||||
Yeah, it's awesome.
|
||||
So they have so many different ones.
|
||||
They have some for parents.
|
||||
Like a specific one for parents.
|
||||
So you really just have to like go out and look on specifically
|
||||
what is good for you.
|
||||
Like what are you a journalist?
|
||||
If you are, then I recommend for happy planner specifically horizontal lines
|
||||
or they have another one called the dashboard layout.
|
||||
It's still horizontal lines, but it's all on one page and not two separate pages.
|
||||
It's kind of one week congested into one page.
|
||||
Let me go to look this up real quick here.
|
||||
Look at happy planner, the dashboard layout.
|
||||
Because that didn't make my sense.
|
||||
I couldn't really picture it.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
Oh wait.
|
||||
It's just...
|
||||
I think I see it.
|
||||
No, I don't know about that one.
|
||||
Okay, I will send you a link.
|
||||
Yeah, it looks like it's got too much going on for me.
|
||||
I mean, I kind of like the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday thing over there on the other side.
|
||||
That kind of looks pretty good.
|
||||
Like I could just write notes into that.
|
||||
And I could write my own dates on to them, which is kind of good.
|
||||
If it's the same one, I mean...
|
||||
So they're all named differently.
|
||||
So the horizontal layout is primarily for people that do journaling, like myself and you.
|
||||
They changed a lot of them.
|
||||
So a lot of them are all different type of styles nowadays.
|
||||
So the one that I'm staring at right now is called the dashboard layout.
|
||||
And I'll send you this link on one side.
|
||||
It'll have like bulletins for the week.
|
||||
And it'll have like phone calls to make or errands to do or things you need to buy, etc.
|
||||
On the other side, on the right side of the page,
|
||||
we'll have eight squares that are lined in each square for you to make notes.
|
||||
It's for note taking for that.
|
||||
Same thing for the regular horizontal layout.
|
||||
That's what that part that you're talking about.
|
||||
That eight squares on the other side.
|
||||
Yeah, that's the part that I like.
|
||||
I want that for everywhere though.
|
||||
Like for both sides, like you want two weeks at a time or you just want lined blocks.
|
||||
I like lined block because no matter like I don't even...
|
||||
Honestly, I don't even need it to have the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday thing on it
|
||||
because Monday might be jam-packed.
|
||||
But then I might not do anything again until Wednesday.
|
||||
You know what I mean?
|
||||
So Tuesday will be empty.
|
||||
So that's the space I didn't use.
|
||||
So I'd rather not have it labeled where I could just label it myself for whatever I need.
|
||||
So I think regular just horizontal lines might just do me better
|
||||
because I'm really picky about that.
|
||||
I can see that.
|
||||
I mean, the only thing I can think of that you can do is just white it out.
|
||||
I mean, I have white out that I use, but...
|
||||
Oh no.
|
||||
Preferably the white out that I use is not the liquid white out.
|
||||
It's the rule.
|
||||
Yeah, they don't even sell the liquid one anymore, do they?
|
||||
Yep, they still do.
|
||||
I remember kids used to get high off of that.
|
||||
Kids can get high off at anything.
|
||||
Which I always thought was weird, but I mean, you know, hey, whatever.
|
||||
Each trail, I guess.
|
||||
Yeah, you know, I don't even know how you would know to do that.
|
||||
But sure.
|
||||
Everything is accidental.
|
||||
You're right.
|
||||
If you think about it, everything's accidental.
|
||||
It just happened to happen.
|
||||
Didn't think about it just, you know, I wonder what this smells like.
|
||||
Do you imagine that, though?
|
||||
One of your friends just sort of lean over to you in our class
|
||||
and just sort of, you know, get close to tell you to come here and you lean over.
|
||||
And it's like, oh my god, I am lit as...
|
||||
Oh my goodness.
|
||||
Over here, scratchin' and sniff.
|
||||
Here, scratchin' sniff this.
|
||||
And that was another thing.
|
||||
That's why they sharpies stopped doing those smell markers.
|
||||
Because kids were literally smelling them way too much.
|
||||
It's still a sharpie.
|
||||
I don't know if you remember those smell markers.
|
||||
I remember those because they used to smell like that.
|
||||
Terrible.
|
||||
They smelled...
|
||||
How does color smell?
|
||||
Wait, they were supposed to smell.
|
||||
They were supposed to smell similar to the color.
|
||||
But really, they were just really fuming.
|
||||
You couldn't really get away from it.
|
||||
They smelled terrible, in my opinion.
|
||||
I always thought they smelled awful.
|
||||
Yeah, they do.
|
||||
Yeah, I'm thinking I'm just gonna...
|
||||
Because like, especially with happy planner,
|
||||
I think they just do too much.
|
||||
Like, I'm looking at...
|
||||
It's a very feminine base.
|
||||
I told you that.
|
||||
It's very feminine.
|
||||
I can't even stand to look at it.
|
||||
I just need to get off the website.
|
||||
How do I exit?
|
||||
I'm gonna send you a link of the horizontal line
|
||||
one that I was telling you about earlier.
|
||||
And this is the horizontal line.
|
||||
This is one that I found that was the most.
|
||||
This is undated and everything.
|
||||
And where it says,
|
||||
November at the top and the person put the dates on there
|
||||
and wrote Friday,
|
||||
that's all that they did.
|
||||
You can zoom in to see more of it.
|
||||
But the only thing that's wrote on there
|
||||
is Monday through Sunday.
|
||||
But everything else is done yourself.
|
||||
I like it.
|
||||
How it's nice and blocked.
|
||||
But I don't want the Monday Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
|
||||
kind of thing.
|
||||
I just want blocks with lines.
|
||||
The only thing...
|
||||
I don't know if they have it with happy planner themselves.
|
||||
But I know that they do.
|
||||
I think your best bet is to look for
|
||||
a...
|
||||
I'm gonna just get lined paper.
|
||||
If they just got lined paper,
|
||||
the rest I could do myself.
|
||||
I could just write in what I need when I need it.
|
||||
Absolutely.
|
||||
But the disc thing I think is a good thing for you.
|
||||
So my recommendation is to get...
|
||||
just get one of the notebooks from happy planner
|
||||
and just take out 90% of the paper.
|
||||
Last time I bought one of the notebooks.
|
||||
They actually sell just a regular notebook.
|
||||
Yeah, I was telling you about that earlier.
|
||||
They sell. They call them happy planner notes.
|
||||
Without all the girly crap all over?
|
||||
Kind of.
|
||||
It has no planning in it.
|
||||
But again, I told you happy planner is primarily feminine.
|
||||
I said that or mentioned that the first time.
|
||||
Happy planner is very, very feminine.
|
||||
I can't even find a notebook.
|
||||
It's called happy planner notes.
|
||||
It's not a notebook.
|
||||
Just notes.
|
||||
I'm gonna whip a thing.
|
||||
It's got notebooks and journals.
|
||||
And I'm looking at dot grid, dot lined.
|
||||
There we go.
|
||||
Line looks good.
|
||||
What's lettering?
|
||||
Let me see what that's all about.
|
||||
Oh, no. See, in this super pink and all kinds of crap.
|
||||
They have some that are just white.
|
||||
Like, I'm literally staring at the one next to me.
|
||||
And it's all white.
|
||||
It's nothing on it.
|
||||
It's just white.
|
||||
But the only thing is the dots on it are like a sage green.
|
||||
That's it.
|
||||
So you can get some that are chill.
|
||||
You really can.
|
||||
But again, happy planner specifically is a feminine brand.
|
||||
It's owned by three women.
|
||||
There's two or three women.
|
||||
Yeah, I might have to pass on that because I swear.
|
||||
I don't know what's going on.
|
||||
Like, I can't even look at it without feeling like it's doing too much.
|
||||
So just stick to the dis bound specifically.
|
||||
And I recommend that for most people that dis bound.
|
||||
The reason why I like heavy planner isn't because it has pink.
|
||||
Yes, absolutely.
|
||||
They have them on Etsy.
|
||||
They have them on Amazon.
|
||||
They have everywhere.
|
||||
You can get dis bound.
|
||||
But I believe happy planner was the first set of people that started doing dis bound.
|
||||
Well, they may have been the first to really get started.
|
||||
But they got a little too much going on.
|
||||
They're not inclusive.
|
||||
It's for women that want to be pretty.
|
||||
Which are judgmental self.
|
||||
I'm just saying.
|
||||
I am very proud of these people.
|
||||
Like, they've done really well for themselves.
|
||||
Like, really, really well.
|
||||
So I'm all for it.
|
||||
And I like buying.
|
||||
I like buying their notes because you can get.
|
||||
They're sometimes their planners.
|
||||
Like, their covers for the planners are just sometimes they're hideous.
|
||||
But then I'll love the guts from the planner.
|
||||
But the, like, the cover is just terrible.
|
||||
Not, I don't want to say hideous.
|
||||
That's just mean.
|
||||
But some of them are like doodling or something.
|
||||
And I'll just buy a notebook that I love the planner cover for.
|
||||
And then there you go.
|
||||
I just, they sell the lined dis bound paper refill.
|
||||
11, eight and a half by 11, the line paper for for a disc notebooks.
|
||||
Where it Amazon?
|
||||
Yeah, I'm looking at it on Amazon.
|
||||
It looks like 250 sheets.
|
||||
What was that link for $23?
|
||||
What?
|
||||
I told you the paper is really expensive.
|
||||
That's why I buy just the notebooks because the thickness of that paper is really expensive.
|
||||
Look at me.
|
||||
We run away.
|
||||
I'm not.
|
||||
Look at this one.
|
||||
This one is a daily.
|
||||
So it's all like it's a daily plan.
|
||||
I mean, it is a really specific.
|
||||
I don't know.
|
||||
Yeah, I know this because it's going to go from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
|
||||
I'm limited in the amount of time I can schedule.
|
||||
And what if there's one thing that cover that is say is going to happen at 8.
|
||||
It's got multiple parts to it.
|
||||
So it'll have to be written all the way down until like 10 or something like that.
|
||||
So no, I like that they have that option.
|
||||
But I just need lines with with lines I can make whatever I need after that.
|
||||
Dude, this one that I'm looking at right now is exactly what you're talking about.
|
||||
Plus, it's dis bound and it has a cover to it.
|
||||
Let me see this last one to you.
|
||||
This is, yeah, this one's pretty nice right here.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
It's 11 bucks.
|
||||
It takes about five years to get to you.
|
||||
But do you see the delivery time?
|
||||
Where?
|
||||
Let me show down and see there.
|
||||
Usually ships.
|
||||
Oh, my God.
|
||||
It's a whole month to get to you.
|
||||
I'm going to pass on that.
|
||||
