Happy Planner Setup as a Bullet Journal for 2019

Hello, Butterflies

This year I wanted to change how I use my Happy Planner. This year I wanted to go more Bullet Journal style in my desk planner.

I enjoyed using the Happy Planner layouts, but I  found that I was not open and using it every day. So I needed to change how I used it. So, I decided to make my  Happy Planner into a Bullet Journal. So, I made a dot grid printable that I used in my H.P.

So let's jump into my Happy Planner Bujo setup...

Happy Planner Hacks / DIYs

Hello, Butterflies

Today I want to share some of the Hacks and DIY's that I have used in my HappyPlanner. I do not claim that I personally come up with any of the Hacks or DIY's I may have just added my own little touches to them to fit what I envision in my own planner.

With saying all that let's jump into the Hacks and DIYs:

Protective Cover:

Materials Need

Dollar Tree Chopping Mats
Exacto Knife or Scissors
Ruler / Metal Ruler
Sharpie Pen or Non-Permanent Marker or Pen
Hole Punch
Front and Back Cover of your Happy Planner

Lay out the Chopping Mat place the front cover on the Chopping Mat. One side of the cover should be lined up to the edge of the chopping mat, trace around the cover. Place the back cover on the chopping mat and trace around it. Cut each the front and back out with your ruler and Exacto knife, you can also cut them out with a pair of scissors. For the straight edge, I would suggest using the Exacto knife. After the covers are cut out place the Happy Planner cover on top and trace the punch marks. Use your single hole punch to punch the hole and then go back in with your scissors to cut the slits. Pop the cover on to make sure that you have the slits wide enough to slide with ease. If not moving with ease remove and cut the slits wider.

Round the corners of each as they can be pointy and sharp. This can be easily done with a pair of scissors.


Page Marker/BookMark:


Materials Need

Dollar Tree Chopping Mats
Exacto Knife or Scissors
Ruler / Metal Ruler
Sharpie Pen or Non-Permanent Marker or Pen
Hole Punch


Lay out the Chopping Mat, Place your Happy Planner cover on top of the Chopping Mat and mark how tall you want the page marker to stick out above the cover. You can also do this for a side tab page marker, just mark how far you want it to stick out the side. You need to decide how wide you like the page marker to be and mark the wide on the Chopping Mat. After cutting the page marker out place your cover back on top with the tab part above the over and mark the hole to be punched out. Punch the holes and cut the slites. Round the corners as they will be pointy and sharp from being cut out. Place into your Happy Planner to make sure it moves with ease. If not moving with ease remove and cut the slits wider.

Folder:

Materials Need

File Folder
Scissors
Ruler 
Pencil
Glue 
Decorative Paper
Hole Punch


Pull one of you Happy Planner Divider place the divider on to of the File folder. Place the hole punches on the open side of the file folder that is open and trace out the divider without the tab. Cut the folder to the to the size of the divider, then mark one side of the fold with a diagonal line to mark the open of the folder when place in your Happy Planner. Cut on the diagonal line to remove from the folder. Lay your Decorative paper down and mark the size of the folder, cut out. Lay out the cut Decorative paper and mark the same diagonal line, cut on the line. Now its time to put it all together. Place the bottom part of the Decorative paper on the bottom part of the folder, and glue. Place the top part of the Decorative paper on the inside of the folder at the top and glue. Glue the bottom two pieces together to close the bottom. You can also add Decorative paper to the back of the folder, may want to do this before punching holes and cutting the slits. Place the divider on top of the folder and mark out the hole punches. Punch the hole and cut the slits. 

You can add in Dashboard and  Divider with the steps above.  Instead of going and buying the paper you can just make your own line, grid and dot grid. Just use a page that does not have a tab to mark the size and hole punch marks.

Here are some images of the things I have done in my Happy Planner:

New Cover

Sold Color Dashboard

Clear Dashboard

Dividers 

Dot Grid Paper

I hope you have got some inspiration to make your Happy Planner to fit your style with some of these Hacks / DIYs.

How I use a Student Happy Planner

Hello, Butterflies

Today I want to share with you how I use a Student Happy Planner. I was able to get my hands on one of the Student Happy planners that Target was selling. My Store did not carry them within the store but was able to order it off the Target website.

If you have been following me you know that my main planner is a Travelers Notebook. I have been looking into changing my planner routine but was not sure how too. So I ran across a couple of YouTube videos talking about the Happy Planner. They looked like something I could use and be able to add pages to it any time I need. 

I want a planner that I did not have to print pages or inserts out and it was ready to go, but want to still be able to add my own touch to it.

With the Student planner, there are Seven boxes per day. So I decided to break down my days into Categories. 

Box 1 :

Is for my Daily Weather

Box 2 :

Is for the Days Dinner

Box 3 & 4 :

Is my Work Task 

Box 5 &6 :

Is my other Task, Family events, Home and Self Task

Box 7 :

This is a Small Note Section


This is how I plan Monday - Friday. Saturday and Sunday I keep box 1 and 2 for weather and meals. 

Here is what a Week looks like filled out.

Here a week before I fill it in.

With using the Planner this way I can see all my task in one place. 

The Happy Planner is the Classic size, so I keep the planner on my desk. I have found that it also makes a great Family planner as well. I find my family checking once or twice a week. 

I still use my Travelers notebook. I use it more for in-depth Daily planning, Braindumps, Habit Tracking, and Notes. I find that using them together works well for me. 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing how I use the Student Happy Planner. I hope this inspires you to think out the box when you are using a Happy Planner.

Update on Planner Line Up

Hello, Butterflies

I would like to share with you what planners I am using and how they are working together to help me get my task done each day.

For those of you that have been following me know that I Bullet Journal in my Travelers Notebook. For the last couple of months, I felt like I need a change in my planning routine. I was not sure if I need to print out inserts, or just change up planners altogether.  

So I found on the Target website that they had Happy Planners for Teachers and Students. I went to to the store to see if our Target carried them in store so I could see first hand how they were set up. Well, unfortunately, my store does not carry them in store. 

So I found that there were many Youtube reviews on the Happy Planner you could get at Target. After watching so many reviews I decided to make the jump and buy a Happy Planner. 

After receiving it in the mail, set up the planner as I would use it. I bought the classic Happy Planner for Students.  After using it the first week in August I found that I loved it but still need daily pages so that I could add notes or journal about my day. I was also missing my Travelers notebook, I love the chunkiness for it in my hand. 

So I decided to use them together because no one was telling me to use only one planner. So I use the Monthly view and the weekly view in the happy planner and use the Travelers notebook for my daily list of tack.

For my monthly view, I color coded. Teal colors are for a blog post, Bills are red Kids school stuff is orange, Tv shows we watch as a family is in green and all other things are wrote in black. I also mark paydays with a sticker. 

How I have my weekly setup in a student planner is the First box is the weather for the day. The second box is for the meals, the Third and fourth boxes are for the work task. Fifth and sixth boxes are for other things like house and kids stuff. The seventh bo is for small notes for the day. This is a Monday - Friday setup, on the weekends it only the weather and meals I have used. 

For my daily, I add a time bar at the top and color code how much time I will be spending. Blue is sleep, pink is work, purple is personal time and yellow is family time. The first couple of days like this I was not sure how I want to spend my time so you will see that not yellow on the Monday and Tuesday. The time bar is how I want my day to go. I add the day of the week with the date and a water tracker. Then I will add my task in more details because I have more room.

The Happy Planner stays on my desk open to the weekly page. My Travelers Notebook is my carry around or planner on the go. In my TN it also has calendars of 2018 that is marked out the same way as my happy planner. So if I am out an bout and need to add the appointment to it and then when I get home I can add it to my Happy Planner.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my planner line for the rest of the year of 2018. 

I am not saying I may not draw up monthly inserts for Bullet Journaling spreads, but for right now this is working for me.
