My 2018 Mini Happy Planner Setup

I am so exited to be setting up my Mini Happy Planner for 2018! My Mini is primarily used for on-the-go planning, so I have set it up accordingly.

Planning Pages

In my Mini Happy Planner, I keep the first four months of the year, and I plan to swap out months as we progress through the year. In these pages, I will use these for planning and keeping a super functional layout for appointments, to-dos, lists, etc. that I may need to reference while on the go.

Budget Section

Behind my planning pages, I will keep a budget section. This is not for budget planning, but rather for budget tracking. In this section, I will keep a few cash envelopes for some target areas of spending. These envelopes are great for storing the budgeted amount, coupons, and have a convenient tracking sheet on the back for listing stores/vendors as I use the money. I will then transfer those expense to my Budget Planner within my Classic Happy Planner.

Gratitude Journal

After my budget section, I have created a gratitude section. I keep my gratitude journal in this planner because you never know when you are going to have a grateful moment, or time to journal. I have used a frankedplanned planner for this using the Quotes undated Mini Happy Planner and the Modern Simple d12-month Mini Happy Planner. I find that when it comes to my gratitude journal, I am more accountable when the pages are dated. So I frankenplanned my gratitude journal to have the dated pages of the Modern Simple Mini with the dividers of the Quotes undated Mini Happy Planner.

Notes Section

The final section within my Mini Happy Planner is a notes section. Within this section, I keep various lined and to-do papers. I like using these for general notes, grocery lists, general to-dos, etc.
