The Happy Planner has changed the way we organize our lives and made planning fun and creative. To get the most out of your Happy Planner, you should check out all of the stickers and other items that are offered. These features not only make your planner more useful, but they also let you show off your style and make planning fun and interesting. This guide covers all the important stickers and add-ons for your Happy Planner that will help you get the most out of it.
Essential Sticker Books
Stickers are the heart and soul of The Happy Planner customization experience. Here are some must-have sticker books to elevate your planning:
1. Functional Stickers
Functional stickers are the workhorses of your planner. These include:
- To-do lists and checkboxes
- Appointment reminders
- Bill pay stickers
- Habit trackers
- Weather icons
Stickers like these help you keep track of your daily jobs and habits. For a full set of these useful stickers, look for the "Functional Basics" or "Everyday Essentials" sticker books.
2. Motivational Quotes
Giving yourself some inspiration can really help you stay inspired as you plan. Sticker books with encouraging words and statements can make your day better and help you stay focused on your goals. You can add some positive vibes to your planning pages with the "Happy Quotes" or "Encouragement" sticker books.
3. Seasonal and Holiday Stickers
Putting holiday and season changes in your schedule makes it look more festive and helps you get ready for upcoming events. There are sticker books that cover all the big holidays and seasons, so you can decorate your planner all year long. The "Seasonal" sticker book is a great choice because it has everything you need.
4. Decorative Stickers
While functional stickers keep you organized, decorative stickers make your planner uniquely yours. These can include:
- Floral designs
- Geometric patterns
- Cute characters or animals
- Washi tape-style stickers
The "Colorful Boxes" and "Sophisticated Florals" sticker books are popular choices for adding aesthetic appeal to your planner spreads.
Must-Have Accessories
Beyond stickers, there are several accessories that can enhance your Happy Planner experience:
1. Discbound Punch
A discbound punch is a game-changer for Happy Planner enthusiasts. This tool allows you to create custom pages and inserts that fit perfectly into your planner. Whether you want to add note pages, trackers, or specialized sections, the discbound punch gives you the flexibility to truly customize your planner to your needs.
2. Pen Holder
It's important to always have your best planning pens on hand. You'll always be ready to take notes or change your schedule with a pen holder that connects to the cover of your planner. For the most options, look for cases that can fit a range of pen sizes.
3. Bookmark/Page Finder
It is important to be able to quickly find your way around your planner. A bookmark or page finder that clips onto the discs of your planner makes it easy to get to the parts you use most often or the week at a glance. A lot of them have pretty patterns that make your planner look a little more stylish.
4. Snap-In Dashboard
A snap-in dashboard can be used for more than one thing with your calendar. It can be used as a desk for writing, a shelf for loose papers, or just something pretty. To make them more useful, look for dashboards with pockets or clear covers.
5. Washi Tape
While not exclusive to The Happy Planner, washi tape is a versatile accessory that pairs perfectly with the brand's aesthetic. Use it to:
- Create borders and dividers
- Highlight important dates or sections
- Add quick decorative elements to your spreads
Opt for a variety of widths and patterns to maximize your creative options.
Maximizing Your Stickers and Accessories
Now that you have an arsenal of stickers and accessories, here are some tips to get the most out of them:
1. Create a Planning Routine
Every week, set aside time to plan and hang your spreads. Keeping things in order this way not only keeps you organized but also lets you enjoy being artistic with your stickers and other items.
2. Combine Functional and Decorative Elements
Find a good mix between being organized and being creative. Stickers with useful designs can help you organize your days and weeks. Then, add pretty things to make your spreads unique and appealing to look at.
3. Theme Your Weeks
You could make special spreads for different times of the year, holidays, or important events in your life. You might enjoy planning more and look forward to using your planner more if you do this.
4. Use Color Coding
Use stickers or pens of different colors to separate different parts of your life, like work, personal, and health-related chores. This clear organization can help you quickly see what your responsibilities are.
5. Experiment with Layouts
Try out different shapes and ways of putting stickers together. The Happy Planner method is great because it can be used in different ways. Feel free to try new things because what works best for you may change over time.
6. Create Custom Sections
You can make parts that are exactly what you need with your discbound punch. Personalized inserts can make planning a lot easier, whether it's a gratitude log, a section for planning meals, or a section for keeping track of projects.
7. Rotate Your Accessories
Change up your plans by switching out your accessories with the seasons or based on what you need right now. For example, you could change your bookmark, your dashboard, or the designs on your washi tape.
8. Store Smartly
Buy places to keep your stickers and other items. Sticker books can be kept in a special case, and smaller items could fit in a pencil case or planner bag. Keeping your tools organized and easy to get to is key to good storage.
Conclusion
It's not just a calendar; the Happy Planner is a blank page for your own imagination and expression. You can make your Happy Planner into a powerful organizational system that fits your style and meets your specific needs by adding these must-have stickers and other items to your planning routine.
