 Here we go. Hi! Well hello friends and welcome back to my channel. Today we are going to be doing a day seven Q&A and today is the day that kind of got away from me unfortunately. I woke up like hella early. I mean if you guys watch me on Instagram, or watch me follow me on Instagram, you would have seen some stories of me up at like 3 30 in the morning doing laundry because I could not sleep. I've had trouble sleeping lately and that's just because of like a bunch of jarg interactions that I have to take for my stomach problems anyway. But what happened was I was up for quite a while and then I laid back down and didn't wake up until four. So yeah, kind of strange because Doyle did not bother me the whole time or I didn't hear him. I don't know but he was a good boy so that worked out well. But on Instagram last night, yeah last night, I asked you guys if you wanted to do a little Q&A and a bunch of you said yes and then submitted some questions. So I figured I would get to your questions. I just screenshotted the questions. I have not like read through them or anything yet so this will be on the fly. All right, so yeah, I screenshotted a bunch of your questions and I've got a few pages of them so I will answer as many as I can today. First question is how did you get started making videos? Were you worried people you knew would find you? Okay, so how I got started making videos is I was a huge fan of YouTube and saw all these other people making content and I thought, well I can do that. I can figure that out. So I did and I started doing it when I was living in Fargo, North Dakota and really didn't have anything else to do with my time besides work. So I decided that's what I wanted to try to do. And was I worried people were going to find me? No, not really. I mean I wasn't making anything that I was embarrassed about or self-conscious about or anything like that. So you know my philosophy like with these videos is what I'd be embarrassed if my grandmother watched them and the answer is no. So I don't care. Yeah, you tend to care less like I tend to care less every single year that I'm alive. So you know to each their own if someone wants to you know put themselves out there, you know good for them and I totally understand that people don't want to do that too and it makes them really apprehensive and self-conscious and I get that as well. So to answer the question, no I was never worried if people were going to find me or not. So that's fine. The next question is, is the EC planner the only planner you have used and would you ever use a pocket size or a personal size planner? Well the answer is no. EC is not the only planner I have ever used. Back in the disay, like before social media, I used a very small planner and it was actually like my wallet as well and I believe that I got it from, well I had one originally that was from like Office Max or Office Depot that was like the Day Timer one and then I upgraded it to one from Franklin Covey about a year or two after that but again it like held my entire life. It had all my contacts, it had all of my IDs and credit cards and all of that in there and this was back in the day when I had credit cards and then my schedule and you know my month at a glance kind of a thing and I only used like the little month at a glance it was very small. So anyway then I got out of using that and then into basically doing nothing for a schedule at all which wasn't good. I used my phone like my just like iPhone calendar app and it just really didn't work for me and then I found people on YouTube doing plan with me videos and things like that and I was like oh my gosh that's kind of what I need to do. You know I need to get a planner and how fun would it be to you know decorate it and things like that. So that's kind of how I got into Aaron Kondren is because I watched a ton of planner videos with a ton of different types of products and I thought that the Aaron Kondren one was more was the most suited for me and would I ever go back to the smaller one? Maybe, maybe but to be honest with my lifestyle I don't take my planner out of my office. Like my planner is sitting right here. I will show you right now. This is my planner. I have the ring bound binder this year and I absolutely love it and it doesn't go anywhere. It just stays right on my desk. I don't take it anywhere with me. I don't need to take it anywhere because my normal like working schedule is very very normal. It doesn't fluctuate too much. Really the only thing I have to be considerate of is like appointments and things like that and that's why I just leave it laying out and then so like next week um then you know I'll go into this and then I still I have stuff laid out for next week already because I have some appointments and things like that. So anyway um yeah I probably wouldn't go to a smaller one unless I needed to carry it with me daily. Um okay so this person asked will you ever move out of Minnesota and where would you go? The the answer is definitely yes. I would move out of Minnesota. Um I would love to retire in this really well it's not a super small town. It's a smaller town. It's called Wilmington, North Carolina. I actually lived there for a year and the weather and atmosphere and people were awesome and amazing and the lifestyle there is very laid back and I absolutely love it. So if you're living in Wilmington, North Carolina like I envy you so much um but yeah it's it's a great place and it's not too hot. Um I know people have asked before like would I ever move to Florida to be closer to my parents and the answer is no it is way too hot there. I can't I can't handle that. I am not built for super super hot weather all the time so um that would be a no but yeah I would like to um be on the east coast when I retire or after I retire um and not you know live in a cold environment I guess but I do love Minnesota. I like that it has all four seasons but um I could do without the winter some some seasons. Um okay so I have another question actually about cold weather. It says favorite cold weather clothes. New England winter just started and I'm cold already so uh first things first layers layers let me tell you um layers are great also a good winter jacket um I tend and this is super weird but I tend not to wear a jacket in the winter and I know that is kind of cray-cray but here's the reasoning of why. I drive an hour commute to and then from work so when I get in the car my heat is on and I get so incredibly hot in the car um so I tend not to wear a jacket like I'll wear like not this but I'll wear something with long sleeves that's cozy like a sweatshirt or whatever um because my office is very very casual so I will do that but I don't tend to wear a jacket and if I do tend to wear anything um at all it's usually like a puffer vest that works well for me also an automatic start under vehicle is amazing um so I do have that on my vehicle and that was like I got that maybe a month or two after I purchased my vehicle like more than a decade ago now so um yeah but it's it's it's a great thing and I absolutely love it and even if I have to go shopping or like you know go to a store go to the grocery store or something like that I'm only outside for just maybe a minute maybe two depending on how long it takes me to walk into the establishment so I'm not really outside for a long time and then if I'm walking Doyle I will put on like you know a hat and gloves and a scarf and then I have like winter like walking jackets as well also for snow um Sorrell I think it's S-O-R-E-L is the brand name their boots are kind of amazing I've been wearing them since I was a little kid and I love them and I have I think I got a new pair what was it last year maybe the year before um but I love them they're so nice and they're so nice to um have for walking Doyle they have really great traction so if you are walking a dog or you know even to do like snow removal um you know or whatever it's really nice because you don't slip and slide too much I mean you still can but it's it's not it's not that bad so anyway those are my favorite um cold weather clothing items I don't know lots of layers lots of layers one of my co-workers wrote who is your favorite horse assistant duh Susan uh next question top five planner sticker shops oh okay well the first two that come to mind are the first two that I have like actual binders of which is crazy um but so I have a whole binder right here of coffee break planner which I love link is below there's also a little discount code for you if you want 20 off I've also got another binder full of Chrissy and Designs stickers again link is below and then ooh so if I had to pick three other shops hmm okay so it says sticker shops so not washy okay I'm really into planer topia which I will put a link down below for you guys oh god there's so many it's like so hard to pick I really love one ton in a million love her stuff and then I think I would say plan to plan sticker co love love that shop as well I don't know I like a lot of different things so I mean if you're kind of just depends like if you want to be more decorative or if you want to be more functional and some of those shops are decorative and functional and some are just decorative and you know all that good stuff so um next question is actually best sticker shops uh per my last email I'm just kidding the last question really answers that um okay and then my friend Jen says how excited for go wild 2020 are you oh I'm so pumped so so excited I actually was um texting with Ryan from a man with the plans if you want to see more about Ryan I will link wherever it goes link his channel up above for you um so Ryan and I are going this year I'm so so excited um last year Jody from Life's Organized Chaos came with us but sadly she has a work commitment um during that weekend which has her out of town as well so sadly she can't come but Ryan and I are going to be there we're so so excited to go to Anaconda California we are gonna do Disney one day um so that'll be really exciting and again we'll be vlogging the whole series and putting it up on the interwebs for you guys but I'm very very excited to see some friends that clearly are internet friends um and I haven't seen them for a really long time so yeah I think it'll just it'll be so fun and I think Ryan and I are getting together sometime this month and we are going to possibly chat about like go wild and things like that too but as we get closer we'll you know chat more okay so that is going to be it for the Q and A I want to cut it a little bit short here so this video isn't like hella long for you guys so anyway um if you have any additional questions you can put them right down below I might do another Q and A during this vlogging series you never know but I hope you guys are having a wonderful day and I will see y'all in the next vlog bye guys well folks it's time to kick it old school
