 So today I'm doing a plan with me video and I'm so excited. Let me move this out the way. I'm so excited about this video for a couple of reasons. I have some new kits. I have longer filming time so I can sit here and just don't have to speed it up. What else? New lighting situation. The lights I've already had but I only had two light stands. I had a ring light and two soft boxes. So now I have I bought a stand for the ring light so I'm thinking we're good with the lighting. Of course I will always review it in my uploading and see what is what. So let's get started. So also you may notice my pages may be a little crooked. I do print these pages if you're new to my channel. I print my pages from arts and whimsy and they are the vertical layout. What else? I'm looking to download some new ones so these I think either I cut them crooked or they came out to print a crooked. Nonetheless it's hard to tell they're even when it comes up. I like this one I think was just printed. I'm thinking I'm gonna go with the other kit and again this kit is from Mint Gem Paper Co and this is what all comes in the kit. You get that. I'm more excited about the headers. Let me zoom in. Also you all give me a little feedback on the lighting and here are some today's to-dos. Another part of the kit. Another part of the kit and excuse my nails. I did color today and I have one just bright polish and it looks horrible. And these little flowery boxes. Oh and my little goldmine and cocoa fell out in this other thing here. So and I noticed last week I didn't do a doll. So today you all can kind of hear my process of how I plan. Let me get my so pretty much what I do. I'm so excited I get to talk to you all through this process. I'm gonna zoom out now a little bit. I just like to white out the inspirational words because I do kind of cover that. Top goals because I like to use a box for that. And I noticed I think last week I should have because the paper was kind of thin I should have went in and white out all those lines. So some of this I may just speed this part. So we're gonna go ahead right out of white out. I have some more somewhere but I'm just not sure. I'm putting out my specialty tools that I like to use. And my process of doing my layout is I like to start with a box here. And it's mainly an information box. So I'm just looking through this kit and see what I see. I'm gonna hit it with a reminder because over here is basically where I list things because I am a lister. I love lists and I love checking them off. And then I like the kind of color coordinate to match. So I just go ahead and do all my whatever's over there. And then I may put in a little box. I'm getting better at getting them even because let me tell y'all that is not my rotate. I'm gonna put into clean. I think I'm really wanting to get into meal planning. Like making a meal plan like for the week. For one I need to get back into working out. Two on my quest to save money and things like that. I know having a meal plan planned out would help. And let's just do a green one because I didn't do a green one. I'm gonna save that for something else. Let's go into date headers. Like see here I could put that at the bottom. Which I think that's what I'll do. And even if I overlap that's fine. Again you all let me know how you are liking the lighting. So I'm so oh my god I went I don't know how I found out that I could record longer videos. Strange things have been happening. Like things that I've been trying to figure out have just been popping up for me to see. And I think it's just I don't know it's good though. Something I was looking for last week and I didn't I couldn't get the words together of what I was trying to say and everything just kept I was googling something and everything else came up but what I was looking for. And so today I'm trying to stop taking naps but I just I don't know something's going on I can't help it. And I woke up from my nap and just kind of said well I look at a video before I go to you know take a nap even before I go to bed at night. And so I got up and said well let me just look at some videos to kind of try to wake up. And there was in plain sight and this video had been popping up but I hadn't been panicking any attention. At least this lady's face had popped up. And it was basically what I had been looking for. And I'm like that's what it's called. That's what it is. So anyway so I found out that I could record. It just popped up one day and I found out that I could record longer videos. And at first I thought it was saying that I could um that is the only thing I'm gonna have to cut this one. I thought that it was saying I could monetize and I'm like wait a minute I know I haven't reached 4,000 watch hours. So I was confused so I'm just going through the process and it was saying you can upload longer now blah blah blah. And I realized I'm like what the heck how you expect for somebody to get 4,000 watch hours if you didn't have if you can't upload longer videos. I'm struggling with this one right now. I don't know why. And I'm so excited because it's for cut myself. As far as my social media schedule YouTube upload schedule everything is flowing to the point where I didn't even realize today was Friday. So I'm uploading early. Well I'm not uploading. I'm doing my layouts early. I normally do my layouts on Saturday. It normally takes me to Sunday to get them uploaded. But I'll have this probably uploaded tonight but scheduled for Sunday. Even if I don't have it uploaded tonight it'll be uploaded tomorrow but up for Sunday. So I'm excited about that. So I'm on schedule. So I've been following my plans. So I'm really really excited because for once I'm on schedule. Oh y'all I saved some money today. I paid bills today that I normally don't pay or beat one time. So planning is working for me okay. So I'm taking this flower which does not fit. It's not wide enough for one but we can I'd rather it being long enough but not wide enough. I don't think I'm gonna use all of this kit because I do have a new sticker kit and I want to kind of use that too. But I may save that for when I make sure y'all can see. So let's go over to this side. And then oh here's some little baby washing tape. So that works. Maybe that's what it's supposed to do. It's upside down. It's cute. I think I'm covering a hole though. And I am. I'm gonna cut the rest of that little hole out right there. So it'll come up. Let's stick it in. I have to kind of do my borders. Then I make a center. You know this washi tape ain't. I don't know about this kit. I think it's just there. Like if you want to use it, use it. But you gotta do some cutting. And it's probably not even for this type of planner. So let me stop complaining. So now I got the flowers. Go through this kit and see what else we got. These bows are cute here. And I'm gonna be honest with y'all. When I pointed this, I ordered new ink sisters. But when I pointed this, my ink was low. But it's working. So we're basically starting on the 18th. So then I go and put in my dates. I don't know what it is about date covers that I like. But I love date covers. So I'll probably speed through this part. I'm gonna go through and pick out some pretty boxes. You all know I love pink and green. I love pink and green together. So this Monday supposedly I'm off. And I say supposedly because I work every other Monday. And this is how I plan. I plan according kind of to my week. So I'm off like every other Monday. And this is my Monday off. Do I have anything to do? I don't like that with that. Let me put that down. So I started off with a colorful box. And I said that I lost my train of thought, which happens a lot. So y'all forget me. But I said, oh yeah, I said supposedly because a lot of times someone called me at the last minute. And since I've been really budgeting. Put that there. Don't they look pretty. So since I've been budgeting, I really haven't turned anybody down. So I'll just be like, yeah, I had turned someone down the other day. They had a little coffee cut with the, there you go. So I had to turn someone down the other day. Not necessarily, but they waited till last minute. I was on the other side of town. But I've just been trying to basically get my money. And if you've been watching my budget videos, my, you know, income is going up. So this is the weekend banner. I put it in between Friday, Saturday, so that it runs through Sunday. And I printed this on my own sticker paper. And I like my sticker paper because some people sticker paper, it'll pull up your paper, my sticker paper. It allows you to repill it and all that good stuff. So we have Monday. So I basically plan and I use the boxes and I like functionality. So I use a lot of these because I can write on them and have boxes. I really like the flags and these boxes. So we're going to get into that. So Monday, I'm doing laundry. This is the thing on my head of so much stuff. So laundry is done today, where I normally do laundry on Monday Tuesday, but I actually push it to Friday. So I won't have laundry to do on Monday. Tuesday, I have a meeting. And I have, I'm normally off every Tuesday. I'm gonna stick that here because I want to put the meeting on Tuesday. The salon meeting and I have a client, the 20th. My car note is due on the 20th. Let me get these. I saw one to say bill do. I saw something said bill do. Here it is. A pink bill do. So here's a pink bill do sticker. That's my car note for wins. I think I'll put that there and find me a. This box is cute. I'll use this box put it up at the top and then put the bill do sticker like right under it. I like my Dollar Tree pen, but I like the flare to car note. So whenever I put down a bill do stick, I like to go ahead and write in what is due that way. I don't forget. So we're probably gonna get cut off halfway and then I have to add another one. So I'm gonna put this flag here just for decoration, but I'm gonna put another flag over here like that. Because Wednesday I do work. Let me put, do I got a busy day Wednesday? I'm not sure. I'm gonna pull this up. I'm gonna use one of these and try to pull this up. Put that over top. And again, you all I'm still new to planning. So I'm learning some things and incorporating some things. So Wednesday I work. So I like these boxes because I can list the client, how much they paid me and generally like during the week is only like one a day like this is only like five people less than five. So what I'm gonna do just in case I'm gonna add this box just for some totals and something I learned from another planner is these little boxes. I'm gonna take these boxes and cut them. I'm gonna cut off the food, the TV. But you know what? No, I'm not. I'm gonna use that bow. Each one of those have a bow and a heart. That's fine. Or I can use those. I'm gonna use these for my totals for the day. I think it's Shakisha, her lovely plan. She's a hairstylist like me and she uses, I've seen in one of her videos, can't remember which one, but she uses these boxes for her totals and I love that idea. So that's what I've been doing is using these boxes for totals. I don't know why I put that on Tuesday because we all have a client on Tuesday. And so I've been digging that idea because what I was doing is just writing it kind of willy-nilly and you know Friday I think I have so far I think I took Friday off. I think but you know what? You never know. So I'm gonna go in with a small sticker. Isn't this kid cute? It's so cute. So again my planning is pretty much functional because this is my everyday carry. So I try to, and then I always love next week stickers for Sunday. So I'm gonna put that there. I didn't put a lot of flower boxes down. So let me put one of these down over here in between Sunday because I generally kind of start next week between Saturday and Sunday. At least I used to but now that I've gotten a plan together when I say my social media plan has like, plan it was like the best thing I actually looked at it and took control. Here we go. I know I put this sticker down but I'm gonna put this one over it because it was so small. It's something missing. Like something's missing. Like it's just, errr. Drab these bow headers. I'm gonna go into, this is a nice kit but let me tell you I'll have some of this left over. So now I'm gonna go into this little pad. I just uploaded a, I need some words like inspiration or something. This is Drab. I like the flowers but I'm pretty much done but I'm going to find me some inspirational words or something. You know what? Maybe that's what it is. I'm missing my girls. My dolls. Something was missing. Let's see. I like her. I haven't used her and she kind of matches. She matches. Put her down between Friday and Saturday. I try not to overdo the dolls but oh my god. I got some wrong wrong stuff in the mail today and it's upstairs in my everyday carry. So here's a nice little lady too. I'll put her over here on Monday between Monday and Tuesday. You know something's still missing. Like I can't figure it out. Something's not flowing right. I don't know. Looks, I think something here. And then I think I'll do a green one in between those to kind of break it up. Okay that's looking a little bit better. Let me see. Thursday. So Wednesday I work. Tuesday I have one. Monday I'm off. Thursday I work. Oh I don't have a list. That's what it is. Thursday is kind of a slow day so I don't need a real long list on Thursday and now that I have and now that I have a social media planner I don't really need that. So I'm gonna move my wash date up to Thursday. Like I said I normally do it Monday but since I'm gonna kind of angle that like that. Cleaning day. Happy mail. Day off. Day off is gonna be Monday. I wish it was more of these coffee cups. So I'm gonna put the coffee cup here. I don't have any flags. Let's see. Oh my car note. I got the car note. If y'all hear my draw it I'm sorry. And also I got a new microphone but I can't get it to work with my computer. I don't have a lot of flags. I don't use a lot of flags. Oh plan. So we definitely want to do that. Have that. Should I put that in her hand? No. Put that there. Friday and Saturday. It's coming along. Come along. So I got my squat goals book out because like I said I needed something. I just don't know what it is. This little pink bicycle is too cute. I'm gonna use this pink bicycle. Did I see this? Now how cute is the pink bicycle? I'll put that there. Yes she would have been cute to buy to do these. I didn't use any of the flags. Let me see. Let's use a green one because something I will have something to do. I think because I'm talking through this I'm not focused. When I'm fast forwarding it I'm just planning like basically like okay. So again quick rundown. I like for my planner to be functional. I'm a list maker so I always start out with my list of things on the side and I'll go in and write my list of things I need to do. And a lot of times I don't fill this up but it's almost like a bring-down kind of for me. I try to start off with a functional piece. I make sure I have my date headers and if that's what I'm having a kid or that I made some while she at the bottom sometimes. But basically I start out with a nice piece of something to kind of draw off of the rest of the things. And again I need lists throughout the week. Check boxes and things like that. And then again I said I started adding these boxes at the bottom for totals for me. For my days when I make money and how much I made and that's pretty much it. And again these boxes and then laundry. What else? That's pretty much it. And try to keep it cute and kind of let it flow. So I did enjoy this kid. It was kind of I thought it would be easy to work with because it was so much in there and I think because it was so much that it was hard because I wanted to oh you know what they had a TV sticker now I'm not a big TV person but let me explain something to you. The only show that I can commit to is Empire. So let me see I thought I saw a TV another TV sticker but I'll use this one. Empire comes on on Wednesday so I am so excited so that's the only show I can commit to. That's it for that kid. So I should have another video coming up of me planning in my social media. That would be the next thing in my social media calendar. So again I thank you all so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video and I hope you enjoyed me talking through it this time. Probably having a fast forward just some small pieces that would take up a lot of time. Again I don't want to throw anybody's anxiety off with the crookedness but I'm getting better. So again thank you all so much for watching. Bye.
