This is what I keep coming back to
It's undated. It's just months and weeks. I don't care for planners with goal tracking, weight loss, menu planning, etc... that are included. I prefer to personalize it to my liking. There's plenty of empty space.
The paper is okay, not amazing. I'm okay if there's a little bleed through. Ball point pens are fine though. I've used the larger size and decided to go with the smaller one this year.
ETA: Days of the week are printed and I prefer a Monday - Sunday format.

Thanks everyone! So many great ideas! I will head out after work to Michaels to see what the happy planner is first. Then target and staples. I need to feel them to really see but at least now I know what I’m looking at!

I buy the ones from target. It’s a small planner that I love because each day it gives you space to write and there is a monthly calendar inside as well. I think it’s by blue sky.

My Michaels had been picked clean, but Joann’s had a nice selection of the Happy Planners today. I had bought the Classic size online but after seeing them in the store kind of wish I had gotten the mini. But we’ll see.
But one thing I realized is that Planning is the new Scrapbooking. Look at all the videos on YouTube and tell me I’m wrong!!!

I splurged on a Happy Planner with some extras for 2020 and we all know how that turned out.
I am just going to use a small refillable notebook or a black and white composition book.

I went to Michaels and they didn’t have much of a selection but since they were on sale I got one and will head to the bigger michaels over the weekend. I definitely like it. They had some stickers and some of the round clip things but not sure what they are for? Can you somehow change them out? But anyway, just wanted to report back and thank you all! I will try this out but will come back to this thread if it doesn’t work out!

I love my Erin Condren life planner. I prefer the vertical format. I also prefer my planners to run July-June so that it follows the school year. It doesn't work for me to switch planners mid school year if that makes any sense. EC offers the traditional planner that starts Jan. 1 and again with the July start. Office supply stores and places like Target also offer the school year planners. I've never considered that you might need different "year" planners in the northern hemisphere. Here our academic years run Jan - Dec so everything can be in one planner. (It also means only one gift to buy per teacher for Christmas and the end of the school year.)

This is my 6th year using Erin Condren. I'm clearly a fangirl. This is 11 for me! I can't quit EC!

I will try this out but will come back to this thread if it doesn’t work The round clip things you saw were probably Happy Planner discs. They can be changed out and come in 3 sizes. The metal versions are supposedly stronger and thus more expensive. Hobby Lobby and some Walmarts also sell Happy Planners. They sometimes show up at TJ Maxx, etc. On the Happy Planner website, near the description of each item it will note if something is sold by a particular store. If there's no mention of a store, it probably means it's offered on their website only. This link will be helpful for seeing the size and layout styles of HP: thehappyplanner.com/pages/happy-planning-101 . Lots of good Happy Planner sticker and usage ideas are in the Facebook group: "MAMBI the Happy Planner Group". www.facebook.com/groups/mambihplayouts/ Plus, tons of "plan with me" and product flip-through videos on YouTube.

It can be a whole big thing... there are etsy sticker shops that make sticker layouts for the month or week... for happy planner, erin condren, or plum paper... It can get expensive really fast... but it doesn't have to... i did the whole big kits... now im back to a few stickers, washi and highlighters....

I also was a scrapbooker and rarely scrap now but I do on occasion decorate my planner. I've decided not to buy any more sticker books but do on occasion buy the functionality stickers like for meetings until I use up more of what I have.
