FALL SETUP OF MY MINI HP

Video summary

In this video, Yoshida from Norris Cove shares her process of refreshing her Mini Happy Planner for the fall season by swapping out covers and reorganizing internal inserts to reignite her motivation to plan. Although she has used the current cover since January, she decided that a change was necessary to embrace the autumn vibe and feel more inclined to use the planner daily. The video documents her methodical approach of removing old pages, evaluating which dashboards and cards are still relevant, and printing new mood boards specifically designed for the fall months. She emphasizes the importance of having a dedicated space for upcoming content ideas, bills, and business tasks, noting that her previous single-page monthly layouts were insufficient for her needs. The core of the setup involves curating specific dashboards for each month from September through December, allowing her to visually track seasonal themes like camping in October or holiday preparations in November. Yoshida also addresses the need for more space by switching to two-page monthly spreads, which will accommodate detailed lists for video uploads and financial obligations without making the planner too bulky. She retains certain functional pages, such as her weekly graph for scheduling social media and admin days, while discarding unused items like test cards and old task managers that have been abused over time. Her goal is to create a streamlined system where every page serves a specific purpose, whether it be for project management, budgeting, or meeting notes. Beyond the monthly sections, Yoshida organizes her planner's various functional areas, including a dedicated project section, a finance dashboard focused on financial stability, and a wish list. She demonstrates how she manages her pockets by archiving old inserts into a storage box to keep the planner from becoming too thick while ensuring she can still reference past dashboards if needed. A significant part of her organization strategy involves creating fresh pages for meeting notes and moving them to the front to maintain clarity, alongside utilizing sticky notes and flags to cover sections during flips or mark important dates. She also highlights her favorite writing tools, specifically a Pentel EnerGel pen in a grayish-black shade, which she praises for its smooth writing experience. Ultimately, the video concludes with a fully reorganized planner that feels fresh and ready for the upcoming season, complete with a new slip pocket and a curated collection of cards and stickers from brands like Pretty Planner Co. and Cloth and Paper. Yoshida expresses satisfaction with her new setup, noting that she now feels confident in using the planner daily to manage her content calendar and personal goals. She invites her viewers to share their own preferences for returning shop items beyond the budget box and printed inserts, hoping that her fall setup will provide inspiration for others looking to refresh their own planning systems.

Hey friends, welcome to or welcome back to Norris Cove. If you're new here, I'm Yoshida and here at the Cove, we like to budget and plan in confidence using a planner. But today you guys, we got a new cover. Okay, well, we don't have a new cover. We've been had this cover. I actually was using this cover prior to being in the uh clear. So, we're going through my mini HP. I did a flip of it last week and I told you guys that I was going to be updating this for fall. So, today's the day. So, I was like, maybe if I change the cover, I'll feel like I want to use the planner. So, I went through and I'm just going to take it out and we're going to go through our pockets and all that great stuff. So, I started to do it and I said, "Wait a minute. Let me print everything that I want in here and then I can go over everything with you guys together." So, right now, I think I'm going to leave I'm going to take these out and then I'm [music] going to take this card out. This was in a budget box, so I'm going to take that out. I love my little freedom number. I'm [music] going to leave this. So, it's fall and in the fall, I just feel like I want a little change. So, that's what we're going to do. And the sophisticate card, I'm just going to put it here so that it kind of peaks [music] right there. Okay. And then I'll leave these little notes and turn. And we don't have anything else. Nothing in the back pocket. But this is one of my favorite covers. So I went ahead and put the glass cover on. So like as a protectant. Now this I printed probably the beginning of the year. It's just like a mood board. And I do want to do a fall mood board, but I'll probably add that later. Uh, let's see. I'm trying to see if I'm going to keep this. So, this is kind of I'm going to take this out because that's when I was doing the budget box. I may just print another one or do I want to keep that? I'll [snorts] pick that out. I love these dashboards by Noted Co. They're going to stay. This is my [music] inbox section. I have like two inboxes, but I also have here in the back my um combon board. I was going to move that to the inbox section because this [music] used to be for the budget box, but I don't want to get rid of it. So, I'm just trying to decide. So, I'm trying not to be long. So, let me show you what I got, what we're going to add. So, I have some dashboards. And I originally were going to do these two and bring them to the shop as a fall dashboard. So, I should have them up before the end of the week. Then I have this one, [music] something I just printed off of Pinterest. It's not necessarily fall, but I just wanted it in a planner. And then this one here I also will probably bring um to the shop as well. And [music] I think that was nice. And then this is something I printed off of Pinterest. >> [music] >> Um, dear God, show me how good it can get. And then this one, you've seen this MIT and I'm debating whether I'm going to add it in here, but it's here. So, also I printed a calendar on two pages. So, we're going to flip over because I decided I'm going to keep those. I think I'm going to take the sophisticate out for now. I'm going to take out the luxury G dashboard. I'm gonna stick there. We're gonna leave that. Now, I do like this here. And I like it to go over top of that. So, we're going to leave that. So, let's get to our monthly. This is stain. I'm going to leave the bonjour. I'm going to take this out. I'm going to take out the pure vintage. And so, I have the month on the page. So, we're just going to go through. We don't need that. We're going to take that out. So, we don't need January. Take this. And I'm going to look for the end of the year of these for me. So, let's take all of these out. And I'm look to see if I have any dashboards. And so, I have this, but it's also in the back. I'm just going to sit that to the side because I may decide to bring it back. And then I have this card. Going to keep that. And this one also. You guys, I was looking at a lot of cards, like journaling cards that I was um producing for the budget box, and I was like, man, those are some good cards. I want to bring them back. So, this is going to be our monthly section. So, I'm just starting it from September to December. And then I'm look for those um monthly tabs for those. And then this is just the monthly that I created for myself. I'm debating if I'm going to create one for 2027 because it's a tedious task, but I want to do it. Okay. I realized I didn't have my mic on. Sorry. Sorry about that. So, we have the months on two pages now. And I was saying that I needed the month on two pages because I want to start like putting in like the videos, the bills, the business bills that's due. I just need more room. So, I'm going to [music] like the the videos that I have lined up uh for this channel. I want to have them written out. And so I couldn't really do that on the month on the page. I probably could have just put this in the back, but that would have just made it too bulky. So we're just not going to do that. And then so I like this doubled. So we're going to leave that. And then we have some more of these. [music] Let's take those out. And then I have August and then September. So, [snorts] okay. So, let's go back and add our cover pages. So, we have September and I thought about like [music] putting a dashboard for each cover. So, we have that. And so, for September, I think I'm going to put this dashboard. And I kind of did the same thing in my uh workout planner. So, I did update that offline. I'll show that to y'all later. So, then we have the dashboard. Or should I put it before? Let me put it before and see how that looks. Oh yeah, that's pretty. Let's take that out. Okay, pretty. And then let's get to October. [snorts] So October we're going to do I think we'll do the camp. I think that's what I did in my workout plan. We did the camping scene and then that [music] I want to kind of leave that a little bit of minimal. Okay. And let's do November. So, for November, we're going to do H November. I think [music] I'll do I'll save that for December. This will be November. Okay. [music] And then we have that. It was one of these I had [music] a note on. So, we're going to put this [music] on the back of there. Like that. And then on the back [music] of October, we're going to put one of these. I really should do the discipline. I think I'm going to do the discipline for October. Kind of want it like that. Okay, my desk is officially a mess, but it's okay. All right, so we did November and then [music] let's get into December. And so this is December. And I'm going to use this. And then I'm [music] going to take out the think plan do because we're going to be probably getting into our new year goals and all that great stuff. So think plan do. This is one of my favorites actually. I came up with that one night and [music] just kept it rolling. So this is December. All right. So we don't have January of course yet. So we have this dashboard. Now these I'll find somewhere to put. I'm going to take out this cuz I do not use the test card. Maybe at a later date, but I don't use those. And I just kind of like this layering [music] here. I'm going to take these out and maybe move them to the combine board later. Let me see. I really like this card. Okay, move it there. I love this dashboard. So, it is staying. And this is the week on a page. And this is mainly like um I'm going to take that out. This is mainly I use the week on a page [music] for like pre-planning. So, we're going to leave that. And then this is the graph week on a page. I like to use this [music] to kind of plan um like the social media situation or if it's a design day, admin day, whatever. So, we're going to keep those. I am going to take I leave them in here because I kind of like to look to see how I planned my day. So, let me see. I'm going to leave a few of those. I'm [music] going to leave those in there for now. And then this is the horizontal week, which I [music] don't have in here anymore. And then instead of a daily, even though I do want a daily plan, it's fall H. I don't know. I think I'm going to [music] use this for the daily. And I'mma put this somewhere else cuz I really, really, really, really I might put this in my TN. [music] So, I'm going to take that out. And I love this layering effect. So, we're going to And it's my little winter one. So, we'll leave that. And then, wait a minute. Let's move that because we're in the dailies [music] now. So that's like a the dashboard is too close. So let's keep it moving. [music] Uh social media. So that's what we'll do. We'll change this dashboard and then [music] add this one for social media. And then I just leave this in here to see how I did. I am going to do another 30-day challenge, but I want to leave this in here um just in case I need a reference. Same with this because I got a video I need [music] to plan. And I was like, I don't want to plan until I get this planner together. Social I mean, excuse me, seasonal promotions. I'll keep that. This is my little to buy list. Now, this I'm [music] I'm going to keep that because I have some ideas. social media stats. I'm not really keeping up with them. If I need one, [music] I'll just print another one. And then I think what I'm going to do is [music] put this in the project section. Well, that is it's in the project section. So, let's keep it there. And [music] then I'll put this one here for projects. [snorts] Now, these [music] dashboards, everything may change at a later date, but for right now, I think this will be good. Oh, I love that. Okay. And then [music] this is the project section. Yeah. Okay. Let me see. We could put another dashboard. Let's see how that looks. Oo, I like that. So, this is the project section. Oh, and we can double that. [music] And then we could possibly put the sophisticate back over it. [music] Let's see how that looks. But I don't think I like that. Nope. It's taken away. So, we'll take that out. And then this is my budget section. [music] And I have this dashboard which I actually [music] like. [snorts] So I'm going to leave that one. Let me see. It's another one I want to This is in the back. Yeah. Wait a minute. Let's go back to the front. I'm going to put this one in the finance section cuz it has like um words on there for [music] to be financially stable. So, we're going to take this one out. [music] Put this one here. Oh yeah, perfect, perfect, perfect. [music] All right, let's see. And then this is the section here. This is the finance section. So we're selling [music] projects. Okay, so let's move take these out. So this is the budget section. >> [music] >> And I'm going to move these sticky notes and those actually go in the project section. So all right. So we got those and that's our project section. And then we get into the budget section and it was something that I wanted to take out the annual profit report [music] that can come out. I'll leave that. I'll probably filter that in. Okay, I'm going to take I really love these dashboards. Let's see. Maybe we can put the sophisticate over top of this. Yeah. Okay. So, we'll do [music] that. And then my meeting notes. I'm going to print out. Well, this time that could be 2027. [music] So, I'll do it. That's my meeting notes. And then this is meeting notes. Yeah. Okay. And then I have a wish list. Uh I have one in here. So, yeah. Okay, we need [music] a task one and this is note section. Okay, so then on the back I had this right here. So I'm going to leave that. But I really I'm going finally take this one out cuz I have abused it. [music] So Oh man, I really can't cuz I got Oh dang. [laughter] Well, let's put these two together. Like really Yosha. Okay. te Christmas. [music] Okay, I'm just going to put these two together even though so that way when I Oh. Oh, it looks terrible. Not too bad. One is shorter than the other. Okay. Yeah. And I want to find somewhere to put [music] this. Well, I I don't really I got to I don't need this [music] because I have I have some more of these. And then I have pockets now. [music] So, I don't need that. And then we're going to put that in the back here like that. And to be honest, I don't even need this because nobody's going to see it but me. So, okay. So, that is it. I'm going to go through this little pocket. Okay, now she's set up. Now I feel like I can plan. I'm going to leave this cover. It's fall and we've had this since January. Let's see what that looks like. I love a good mood board. Let me see. Uh let's do a mood board. [music] This is our inbox section. So let's do it here. I love this dashboard. I really, really do. Okay. Why do I have two inboxes? Cuz I need them. [laughter] And really three. Okay. So, this is it. This is it. She's still a little thick, [music] but promise you everything is going to get used in here. I'm going to take this out right here because it's going to bother me. Find somewhere to put that. And [music] then we're going to put that. And then let's go through this right here and find somewhere for these. Now we have pockets. Okay. Where [music] is the cover? Here it is. Try to have made a mess of this desk. So, I'm happy to be back into my cover. Um, I'mma start taking my curve bag with me so that I can use this planner because I have a lot of things I need to get planned. [music] So, it will definitely go into the curve bag and it'll be coming with me on a daily basis so that I can get these. So, it is [music] the next day. I filmed late and my battery died. So, let's just hop right on in. So, I was saying at the end, I believe that Oh, so I added this pocket [music] here. It's a slip pocket. The inserts you saw me put over to the side that were in here, I went ahead and archived [music] those. And I have a little box that I keep all my old inserts in, dashboard, so I can always refer back to them. [music] And I try to hold on to them for about a year. So, this is what we have. [music] I slid it back in. We have this And since my battery had died, I went ahead and planned um my video that I have coming up next over here in these sections here. So I have it set as private. [music] And so this is what it looks like. So we're going to do a really quick flip. And then [music] I put my cards here. And then over here in this pocket, I have this task card, some lux page [music] flags, and the black square page flags that I like to use to cover things in case I'm going to flip. So, this is our front inbox. And I left these task managers in here because I'm going to fill out one for October and I'm just going to move some things over. [music] So, I do like to kind of hold on to those. And I just have a few in here. And then [music] we have this. I don't think I've ever showed you guys what's in here, but it was just like I think a freebie from Cloth and Paper. And it [music] is just like some BJO stickers. I'm going to move this somewhere. Probably here in the back. Isn't that pretty? It's so foolish. I should have probably put that in the front, [music] but it's okay. This is where I want it. And I'm going to try to have these dashboards listed by the end of the day. So once you see this, hopefully that you can purchase those if you like. [music] And I was saying that, you know, I really like this card. So also do me a favor. Let me know if there's anything that you've [music] purchased before that you would like to see back in the shop besides the budget box and besides printed inserts. [music] Okie dokie. And there we go. And then [music] now we're we are in the weekly section. Oh, and I failed to mention that these sticky notes are from the Pretty Planner Co. I love her stuff. her stickers as [music] well. And then this now we get into our weeklies and then the daily. I need to find somewhere for that to go. And then we [music] get into our social media. And then I have these pinned together because I've already um [music] planned um that video that I have coming next. So I don't want y'all to see that until I get to it. But this is what those pages look like. So there's a series planner and there is a content planner. And these [music] inserts are just chef kisses for me. And then we have the seasonal promotion, [music] social media planning. Then we get into the combine and then that beautiful dashboard in our project section. I probably could take this out. No, I'll leave it. And then we get into the budget section. And we're in the notes section right now. And then the meeting notes [music] that I have with my the meeting that I have with myself. So what I do is I kind of just archive [music] old meetings to the back. So, I'll have a fresh page here. [snorts] That one needs to go to the front. And that's [clears throat] something I didn't do. Let me move these [music] fresh pages to the front of the meetings. And then we [music] have the wish list, the task list, and then that back cover, and then this little clear pocket. I found it in my little stash. And then we have all of our little pocket items. So, let's go back to the notes and put these fresh pages in. And that'll be it. [music] That will be it. And so I'm going to make me a 2027 cover for my notes so that I can, you know, dot off any like specific dates and things like that. And it's really not necessary, but I just like it cuz it's a cover page. But that's it. And then in this planner, I have the Pentel Energerel, and it's almost like a grayish black, but I love it. I love the way that it writes. And that is it, you guys. That will complete the setup of my mini HP. [music] I feel like I'm going to get more use out of her now. Um, I really like this cover [music] and it is from Moterm and it's the Veg Tan [music] leather. And that's it. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope it was helpful with you setting up [music] your planner for the fall. Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye.
