HAPPY PLANNING 101: AN INTRODUCTION TO PLANNING
New to planning? We got you. We’re sharing tips to choose the right planner for beginners and how to get started!
CHOOSE YOUR PLANNER
PICK YOUR PLANNER SIZE
MINI Our Mini Happy Planner is small enough to carry in your purse or bag so you can plan on-the-go. It’s convenient for jotting down quick memos and reminders!
CLASSIC The Classic Happy Planner is our most popular size and we can see why! It fits all your daily plans while being small enough to carry to work, school, and on your daily commute.
BIG The Big Happy Planner is great for parents, teachers, and other professionals (especially those working from home) who use their planners at their desk! Use all the space to fill your pages with stickers and busy plans.
Check out our in-depth blog on our popular planner sizes and all the ways you can use them to suit your lifestyle!
PICK YOUR PLANNER LAYOUT
VERTICAL Our Vertical layout includes 3 daily box spaces that can be used for different categories. Use it as a timeline of your day and divide it by morning, afternoon, and evening. You can also separate the boxes into categories such as work, school, home, etc. The Vertical layout is a Happy Planner favorite for decorating with lots of stickers!
DASHBOARD The Dashboard layout is great for list makers with its weekly side by side spreads. The left side has space for writing to-do lists, paying bills, and prioritizing any big tasks for the week. The right side has daily box spaces for plans.
TEACHER This layout was specifically designed for all our teachers. It has a Monday-Friday layout which gives you more room to plan your work days. It has daily box spaces that can be organized by different subjects or class periods. The back section also includes checklist sheets!
TIPS TO SET UP YOUR NEW PLANNER
- Fill in your monthly calendars with important dates. Be sure to include birthdays, upcoming vacations, and appointments.
- Gather your schedules for work, home, or extracurricular activities. Fill in recurring events such as meetings, practices, or routine events.
- Plan by the week. Set aside time at the beginning of every week to add in your priorities. This can include due dates for tasks, a running grocery list, or to-dos. Repeat this every week and stay on track with important tasks!
PERSONALIZE YOUR PLANNER
Once you’ve gotten into the swing of things, here are some ways we love to personalize our planners.
- Add stickers! We have an assortment of decorative and functional stickers that will keep you productive while making your planning routine more fun.
- Add accessories! Add function to your planner with a dashboard, snap-in pen case, or filler paper to give you more room to write notes.
- Swap discs! Explore all our assortment of discs and easily swap out your current ones for metal discs, glitter discs, or check out our assortment of Disney themed discs!

Happy Planning!
It would be Really Really Really Awesome if you can possibly make a Planner( Big, Classic and Mini) by itself and in a kit/box and accessories that include washi tape, dash boards, book marks folders, stickers,filler paper, and extension packs, etc. In “Healthcare Heroes” theme.
Sooo many Healthcare Heroes across the World especially in these trialing times of the Pandemic. Please Please Please consider this idea. You would definitely sell sooo much of these, so make lots and lots.
