WEEKLY PLAN WITH ME| PERSONAL RINGS | FITNESS PLANNER WEEKLY | PLANNER UPDATES
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
In this weekly planning update, the creator Yoshida from Norse Cove revisits her new planner insert to demonstrate how she organized and executed tasks from the previous week while preparing for the current one. She explains that although Sunday is designated as a rest and recovery day within her 30-day wellness lock-in program, she still prioritized getting in her daily steps despite oversleeping due to a busy mind filled with creative ideas. The video highlights a mix of completed achievements, such as attending doctor's appointments, making oil change reservations, paying car notes, and successfully logging weight training sessions, alongside items that were postponed or missed, like decluttering and following the meal plan strictly. She also shares her process for transferring late-night thoughts into actionable tasks in her phone's notes app before integrating them into her physical planner.
The core of the video focuses on setting up the week ahead with a detailed look at her fitness routine and administrative goals. Yoshida outlines her specific workout schedule, which includes running on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, lifting weights on Tuesdays, walking on Wednesdays and Fridays, and resting on Sundays. She details her approach to meal planning, noting that she is adjusting her diet to include more carbohydrates and fiber-rich foods like beans after realizing her previous carb intake was too low. Additionally, she discusses upcoming appointments for lung screening, blood work, and orthopedic consultations, explaining how she will need to wake up extra early for the blood test which requires fasting. She also mentions personal events like her son's birthday and a best friend's birthday that will be noted on her calendar.
A significant portion of the content is dedicated to showcasing her creative customization of the Happy Planner system with various stickers, clip art, and decorative elements. Yoshida demonstrates how she has created custom kits for fitness tracking, including larger "fitness dolls" or icons to replace tiny ones from previous planners, making them easier to use on the go. She shares her excitement over new sticker books arriving from a creator named Anika and shows off her latest Hobonichi cover design, which features a black magazine-style aesthetic inspired by 90s movies rather than vintage Vogue covers. Throughout the process, she admits to forgetting that she had already purchased certain fall-themed stickers in April, leading to a humorous realization that she now has even more cutting and organizing to do.
Ultimately, the video serves as both an accountability check-in and a tutorial on maintaining a balanced lifestyle through strategic planning. Yoshida emphasizes the importance of flexibility, acknowledging that while she aims to stick to her trackers and meal plans, life happens and adjustments are necessary. She concludes by encouraging viewers to subscribe and turn on notifications for future updates, promising to continue refining her systems as she moves into October. The overarching message is one of mindful productivity, where planning allows her to manage a busy schedule involving work, fitness, family obligations, and creative projects without feeling overwhelmed.

Hey friends, welcome to or welcome back
to Norse 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. Today, you guys, we're going to
revisit last week in that new insert
that I was raving about.
So, let's see what got done. Today is
Sunday, so we're just prepping for the
week. And I was just going to do it by
myself. And I was like, you know what?
Let me film a video
so that I can show y'all how I am loving
this insert. So, this was last week. Let
me move this to the side.
And we got a lot of stuff done. Like I
told you, this would probably get a
little busy and it did. Um, so I just do
go in and check things off as they got
done. My tracker, I stuck to my tracker.
Now, today is Sunday, so after I film
this, I need to um go get my steps in.
Today is actually a rest and recovery
day, but because I'm doing my
wellness and my 30-day lock in, I need
to get my steps in. I didn't get up till
10:30 this morning. I had planned to go
walk in. So, I slept in not by choice,
but I just couldn't sleep last night
because I had so many ideas, so many
things just going through my head,
y'all. That's what I've been doing all
day. The reason why I don't have no
steps, I've been in this office because
I've been creating things for you guys.
I've been uh just working my little self
to death because all of the things that
was going through my head last night up
until like 4:30 this morning, I wrote in
my phone. Well, I put in my notes app
and I've been transferring those things
and getting them done. So, none
nonetheless, I didn't I overslept this
morning. Way overslept. So, I haven't
had a chance to get my steps in. And
like I said, today is really a rest
recovery day where I wouldn't do
anything, but I'm just trying to get at
least my steps in. So, let's see what
else. We've added some more
affirmations.
Um, we made doctor's appointments. We
made our oil change appointment. I did
do some filming last week and the
decluttering I did not. It was kind of
busy. So, we're going to move that to
next week. Um, I did order some paper. I
didn't order sticker paper, but now that
I've came in and created so much stuff
today, um, I need to order some sticker
paper. Let's see. We made our radiology
appointment.
We paid our car note. This was a weights
day. I did do weights this day. I just
didn't get my run in. And that's another
thing. So, looking at the habit um
tracker, I some days I don't run, so
that's fine. But I did not really follow
the meal plan last week. So, I'm going
to show you guys a little snippet of my
workout planner that I talked about my
last video and how I planned and like
what's to come um with that. So, I did
my weekly highlights. I I wrote in that
I PRD um my three mile time and then I
said I finally figured out my Strava
app. So y'all probably been seeing some
of my um if you follow my social media
and I put a little bit here on YouTube,
you've probably seen um my mileage in my
videos and so I put Wednesday I made it
to the gym and then also which I forgot
to put down. I pred
put it here. I pred my first two mouths
on Saturday.
So, did that. Okay. And then, so here's
what we have going on next week. We have
my son's birthday, one of my besties
birthday. We got a oil change. We have a
lung screening, blood work, um a
doctor's appointment, an ortho
appointment, and get back to my program
and healthy eating, and I'll show y'all
how I do that. All right, so let's get
into this week. So, let's just go ahead
and
move some things over. Now, I've already
come in here and put some things down,
like my work schedule, these doctor's
appointments. I just needed to get that
in. I've gone in and put in, you know,
the days that I walk, the days that I do
weights. So, that's there. And what day
we have the oil change is Wednesday. So,
that's there already. Um, I'mma put over
here in the task is to order sticker
paper.
And I did order some new sticker paper.
I'mma test out some washi paper and see
how I like it. I really don't want to
fool with it, but you know, hey. And so
we also need to declutter. Like that's
what I also been doing today was
breaking down Amazon boxes, but um yeah,
I didn't do that. And over here I put
follow running plan and menu plan. So
we're just going to we're not going to
put that this week.
And then our habits,
let's follow those.
So I'm just going to put walk
I'm going just put walk and then steps
as one. Then I'mma put weights,
run,
and then follow plan. Follow meals,
meal plan,
and then social media.
And you guys, I have a mic. I look,
that's what I was doing up four o'clock
in the morning. I'm on Amazon. And after
like re-watching my video, I was like,
"Girl, the audio sounds terrible. The
lighting is off. Let's Let's finally get
a mic." I had one, but let's get a
better mic. Okay, close rings.
Yeah, my brain was going crazy last
night. All right. So, up here, I think
I've already I'mma put Monday, Tuesday.
Okay. So, we got our habits. Now, weekly
highlights. We'll come back and do that
later. And then next week, let's look at
the calendar. Next week is will be the
first of the month. Um, I don't think we
have anything. Oh, I'm going to get
gifts.
get girls
trip gifts.
Okay. All right. And then let's flip
back over. And then on Monday also, I
need to make a note to um put some money
in my high yield savings account
and or accounts. And then I'm going to
put slash CDs.
Okay. And y'all, this is pretty much it.
I don't know what kind of deco I'm
doing, but let's do some type of
decoing. Deco.
So, I just have a few little stickers
here. And I want to get back to my
reading. I don't want to add too much on
my plate, but I have a little foul
stickers.
This is kind of what I'm into right now.
And then I was on Etsy because I had
this great idea. I was like, "Oh, yeah,
my you'll see it later." But I was like,
"Yeah, my planner. I need my um
I need some fitness dolls."
If I told y'all how my brain be working
sometime, works overtime. My brain was
working overtime last night. So, I go on
Etsy to order some, you know, clip. All
right. Well, this morning I get up and I
see that um
here,
you know, of course I I waited till this
morning to do my files to download the
files. Well, why had fall stickers
already bought? I bought them back in
April.
I bought them in April. Totally forgot.
And there's something else there that I
ordered some more clip art that I bought
and I totally forgot. Totally to listen.
Totally forgot. So I'm like, "What in
the world is wrong with you, girl?"
Like, "Oh, Jesus. Just just really pray
for me because my mind I said, "So now I
got more to do than what I originally
thought I had to do. So now I got to get
all these stickers down and cut." Oh,
that's pretty cute. And then we're going
to take this.
I don't know why September and October.
I just think orange. Maybe because you
know of fall. We're not going to do too
much
of the highlighting.
Thursday. Something is going on
Thursday. I know I work work Friday. H
I'm going to put this here Thursday so I
can kind of log my miles. I'm going to
put it right there. So, that's what I'll
do. And then I'm supposed to run
tomorrow, but I have to be at the
doctor. I have to do the blood work. I
didn't know that my appointment was this
week. I was thinking it was next week.
And so, I thought this was the week I do
the blood work, but it's not. So, I'm
going to have to get up extra early and
do blood work. Um, so that I can at
least get my run in. And I have to fast.
So, I have to figure that out. So, I'm
going to put my mouths here and then
I'll do another one here. I really
didn't want too much color on this
because I just really wanted to um
I have weight in right here. So,
I'll write that there.
So, that's that.
All right. We got a couple of florals.
We got this. And I I think I want some
dots. Let me see real quick. I got some
dots in here.
Oh, and I'm going to take
this. I'm going take this.
This is from Ana.
And speaking of Anika, I have some
sticker books coming from her. I am too
excited. I can't wait to show you guys.
And I'm just gonna log my weight right
there on this.
Okay.
And these are from Pretty Press. Love
her stickers. Okay. And I'll probably
add more things to the test list, but
I'm just not certain of everything that
I have to do. But this is what it's
looking like for right now.
Big difference.
Well, from last week, but you know, just
the point is to just get everything
done. So, I'm going to cut some slits in
here.
Okay. So, let's pop these in
and then let's see what it's looking
like.
All right,
there we go. So, that's what this week
is looking like so far. So, basically, I
run Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. I
lift weights on Tuesday, Wednesday is a
walk day, Friday is a walk day, Sunday
is a rest and recovery day. Okay? And
so, I'm going to show you guys the big
bigger picture of this
in my fitness planner that I talked
about yesterday. So, I kind of played a
little bit.
Put that to the side. So, while we're
just, you know, doing a little show and
tell, this is the pocket. I changed her
up.
Isn't she cute? So, I just went on P I
was on Pinterest
in the middle of the night. I'm on
Pinterest, so I'm downloading stuff. And
so, this is just a quick little flip of
her. I'm going to put a full flip on my
Tik Tok. So, if you are on Tik Tok, um
you should go on over there and follow
me. Norris Cove on Tik Tok. And then
here here is the
the workout planner, the happy planner.
So, I was going to change the disc, but
I think I'm going to leave them. I don't
know cuz I'm just getting the feel of
it. So, let's get to September.
And so, I decorated the monthly like
this. I'm going to add some more stuff
like once I get my stickers. I ordered
some stickers from the planner spot and
then when I get some stickers from
Anika, I'm going to add some more. But
right now, this is really kind of cool
with me. And then this was last week and
I didn't want to kind of backfill it
because I probably will later. I'll back
fill it later. But this is this week in
my fitness planner. And then what I'm
going to do, and it'll probably be Tik
Tok content, maybe not necessarily
content over here, but it could be. So,
what I did was each day I've already
wrote down
the workouts I'm supposed to do. So,
Monday is an easy run, 3 to four miles.
Tuesday is strength, strength, a lower
body plus pushpull, and then I'll be
able to go to the gym. And then
Wednesday is a recovery day, walk 30 to
45 minutes, and then a 10 to 15 minute
walk after dinner. Thursday, quality
running. So, it's more detailed over
here. So quality running, excuse me,
quality running day and this should take
me about 40 minutes. So I'm doing 10
minute easy run, a three minute moderate
run, a 3 minute easy run and then I
repeat that four times and then it's on
my thing that said 5 to 10 finish 5 to
10 minutes easy. So a 5 to 10 minute
easy part run. And then on Friday is
strength B. I already know what that is.
I didn't have enough room to write here,
but I know what it is. is pretty much um
full body. And then Saturday is my long
easy run and it's an endurance day. So
like last week I did four miles. The
week before I did four miles, but
because I wasn't stuck on my food plan,
I just did the four miles plus I waited
too late to get out the house. So this
week I definitely need to try to get 4
and 1/2 to 5 miles. And then Sunday is
the rest recovery. And then I just put
walk and get 8,000 steps and close
rings. And then that's why I have the
doll here because this is fitness. So I
have no reason to put anything else
here. Okay. So this is what I got going
on. So I created like a menu sticker, a
grocery list sticker, excuse me. And
then these were the dolls. So this is
kind of what it looked like before. They
was just tiny. And I was just like,
Yosha, they're too tiny. So I like tiny
stickers. I'm not even going to hold
you. But I was like, for since we're
using the Happy Planner, we need a
bigger. So, we do have the fulls size
boxes and quarter boxes. As you see, I
did two. So, I had these little tiny
ones. So, I'm just going to save them
for like my regular planner. Um, okay.
And then this is the black one. This is
the grocery list in black. And then
here's the So, this is what they look
like now. But they're actually a little
different because I added some dots. but
they may go on the site like this and
you'll just get some little dots. And
then um this is the black version. So,
we'll probably be using her next week.
And I didn't switch up the deco. You
just got a different doll. And then this
is this kit right here that I'm using,
but like I said, I added like some
little dots. And so, yeah. So, that's
that. And so, I'm waiting. I need to
actually pay for this commercial license
cuz I was just going to use it for
myself. And then after I made the
grocery list, oh, and then I made this
right here. I said, you know, this needs
to be a kit. We just need to make a kit.
So, I'm making a kit for this. The boxes
will be for Happy Planner, but you could
buy, you know, each page separate. So,
this page is just good enough. Really,
it's good for me. This is all I need.
But you can just purchase this page or
you can buy the whole kit or just the
boxes, all that great stuff. So yeah,
this is it. But I'm still kind of
tweaking like the boxes. I feel like
they're too big. I did the correct
measurements, but I just feel like
they're bigger than this here. Unless
this ain't supposed to be like this, but
yeah. So this is what the um fitness
planner is looking like. And I am not
going to hold you. I am loving it. I'm
loving it. Now, the
personal,
she's definitely good for like on the
go, but this does not need to come out
the house, you know. So, what I can do
is look in here. I can see and then I
have my meals in here as well. So, I can
look and say, okay, today, tomorrow is a
run day. I don't need to know the meals
because I'll this will be at home. You
know what I mean? So yeah, but I'll
still be logging the stuff in here
because I want to, you know, I just want
to. But this is it. So day by day, I'm
going to kind of do out the meals. I
haven't decided if I'm going to do it
for the week yet. But I just think day
by day, I'm going to put the meals in,
add to my grocery list if I don't have
anything. So I'm going to be checking my
pantry. I'm setting up a whole new
system so of me, you know, making sure
that I have the things that I need for
this so that I don't do like I did last
week and don't eat the foods that I'm
supposed to eat. Now, chat did say I
could eat what I want. I think the meals
that I was eating before chat gave me
some of this stuff were good. It just
wasn't a lot of carbs. So, um, but I've
kind of looked and used the menu enough
to know that I got to incorporate some
type of carbs
and that, um, I need beans for fiber,
which I wasn't really eating a lot of
beans. Um, but I did eat some fiber
richch things. I can have apples, stuff
like that. And so, this is kind of like
my snack area over here. That's what I
use the little weekend thing for was to
put my snacks. I'll put any type of
notes or, you know, whatever or whatever
snacks I decide to put. That way, I can
just I don't have to put snacks on the
pages. I can just come over here and
pick a snack. Okay, so that's that. I'm
really loving this. Like, listen, I'm
loving it. So, this will stay on my
desk. I can e even take it upstairs to
the kitchen if I need to. And then
I think next week, there is no next
week. So we can plan our October and
which we'll probably do um either next
week or one day this week and then we
can just do October. So yeah, that is
it. That is what I got going on. And
that's me planning for the week. Oh, one
more thing before I go, y'all. I'm so
sorry.
So, look what I did. The cover came
today for the Hobonichi 86 Techno. Um,
so I just added these covers. I was just
going to leave it blank, but I had
already printed this. This was going to
go
in here or I was just going to make it
as like a tip in. But then it was like a
perfect fit. So, I was like, you know
what?
This is what we're going to do. So, I
love the '9s. You had to be there. You
just really had to be there cuz it was a
time, honey. So, I just wanted to do
like a little magazine cover, a black
magazine cover. And Love Jones is my
favorite '90s movie like of pretty much
of all time. So, I just did that. And
what else? Oh, also thinking of covers.
I was on TikTok and this guy was doing
like vintage Vogue covers and they were
nice and I said, "Wow." And he used like
washi tape to add it to his Hobonichi. I
didn't want to do that, but I did order
the washi tape. But I was like, I don't
really want to do that. But I just slid
it in and I said, "Well, I don't really
want Vogue. I want something black, you
know, black excellence." And so this is
what I came up with and I love it. I
just left the spine exposed. And yeah.
Oh, and then for this one, this is just
what I got off of Pinterest. It's just I
love music. So, I just did that.
And anything else I updated in here? No.
And oh, also this is my next week in my
TN pocket TN. Again, she's like the grab
and go. She's going to replicate what is
or duplicate what is in
my weekly. So, let's just see if
everything lines up
in here. She don't really get too much
deco, but she will getting she'll be
getting deco here on the side. So,
everything
I don't need to really put like my walks
and all that stuff in. But, as you can
see, I have weights and those. So, I
just need to add those stickers. So, I
don't really need to do much over here.
And this is just things that I come up
with. I can actually take this with me
to the doctor on Tuesday. I also have an
ortho appointment on Monday, but I think
I'm going to cancel that because it's
for my thumb, but I think they're going
to tell me to get surgery, and I just
don't want to do that. So, I think I'm
going to cancel that and just hold off
as long as I can. But that's what we got
going on this week. This is kind of
updating the things that's in my
planner. I hope you guys enjoyed today's
