7 Ways to WANT to use your Planner by Roxy James

I’m a planner addict and if you’ve been subscribed to my YouTube for a while, you would know that I made lot of planning/planner content on my channel. That eventually led up to having my dream job which is my own stationery brand.

Finding my love for planning and using a planner was life changing. And I know that sounds really dramatic, but I honestly would never be where I am today without a to-do list, a journal and some life goals.

If you’re new to planning or just need some inspiration to actually use your planner, here are 7 ways that I promise you’ll feel inspired to use it.

Happiness Rituals: Little Things to Make You Happy by Roxy James

Do you do things to make yourself happy? When I looked at my life, I realized that I wasn’t really doing things to make myself happy. It would be little things like saying “yes” when I really meant “no”. Putting everyone and their agendas above mine, dropping everything I’m doing for someone else, and always putting myself last.

At the end of all that, it always left me drained, tired, and annoyed tbh. Especially when I saw everyone else living their best life and I was always there left behind, just feeling “stuck” because I wasn’t giving myself a fair chance. I wasn’t happy and it really started affecting my mental health.

Over time, I started reading more self-help books and doing a lot more self-reflection. I learnt that there was a feeling of guilt attached to putting myself first. Maybe it stemmed from a learned behaviour while I was growing up- but whatever it was, it really affected my mental health and eventually my life.

I needed to break this toxic habit ASAP, before it affected the quality of my life- for the rest of my life.

Here are 5 things/new habits that I started implementing into my life to make me feel happy.

FREE Phone Wallpapers: Manifesting & Inspiring by Roxy James

Manifesting is something that I have 100% seen in my life. There are so many instances that I could pinpoint where I just knew exactly what I wanted, and manifested it. Like my stationery brand. I’ve been doing YouTube for about 8 years now, and planners and all things planning related, were my true passion. While I worked with several planner brands and did many stationery hauls, I would always tell myself, I would be doing this for my own stationery brand one day.

Of course, I had no idea HOW it was going to happen, but I kept the thought at the back of my mind. I didn’t realize it at the time, but doing all my blog graphics over the years, was just leading up to the moment where I would be designing everything for my own brand. Subtly, at the back of my subconscious, I was preparing myself as a self-taught graphic artist- having NO previous knowledge about design-I never even took a course!

Fast forward some years later, and I have a little shop, hosting multiple events and even creating my own planner- not to mention, getting to be on the “brand” side of things and sending out PR packages. I can’t even begin to describe the feeling of astonishment that I feel sometimes, looking back and seeing every little moment and decision, lead up to me having this as my full time job.

Top Amazon Lifestyle Haul by Roxy James

I love Amazon. Like LOVE. I can just go there and get everything I need rather than having to go to a million stores and you have to admit, it has just about anything you could ever need.

A few months ago I did an Amazon favourites video here so you can see what I picked up. When I’m shopping, I usually build up a list first with everything I think I want. Then I narrow those things done so it fits into my budget and I wont be spending on a whim- especially since I’m trying to practice a more minimalist lifestyle.

This time, I picked up more decor pieces, books and some little things here and there that I really liked.
