HAPPY PLANNER FREE MEAL PLANNER PRINTABLES HOW TO

Because of planning, we have drastically reduced our food waste and we rarely eat out anymore.Īnother big thing for me has been tracking 'How I Felt'. This helps me to have everything planned out and ready. I do my best to meal plan on Fridays because I want to have my shopping list all done for the weekend (when we usually do our main shopping trip). (Side note: there is some cool science as to why writing things down helps us remember and take action). I tried keeping things on my phone and online planning but I realized quickly that I like the old-school way of just writing things down. Just like anything we want to change, we need to spend some intentional time on that area of our life. We used to 'wing it' most days, which really ended with wasted food and us eating out A LOT! Although I have planned other areas of my life, planning meals has been a relatively new thing for me. I think it's because it gives me a sense of completion. The BIG Planner uses letter sized pages so go ahead and hit print at 100% you lucky ducky.I actually like planning (I love my Happy Planner)! I love lists and checking everything off. Now all you need to do is cut and punch your printable and volia! You’re ready to plan! Of course, if you’re using the little mini Happy Planner all you need to do is set the scale to 54%. If you want to be precise and measure the page so that they line up exactly, the happy planner pages are 7 x 9.25 inches. That’s the magic number to resize a normal paper sheet printable to fit the classic happy planner. It’s suuuper simple y’all… for a classic sized Happy Planner just put 82% in the scale box. If you have a normal 8.5 x 11 printable then you’ll need to resize the image. Once your print folder is open it’s time to work your magic… if you have a printable sized for the classic happy planner (like my life planner is) you can just hit print.

Once your printable is open go ahead and click file, print… it can be different depending on your program but it’s usually fairly similar on most programs. Of course, you can use adobe reader, word, anything that allows you to open a preview and then print! I am on an iMac so I like to use preview.

Next open your printable in an image editing program… honestly, anything you can print out of will work. It’s super easy y’all, to start with find a printable you need to print out…

My planner might be a completely different size from your planner… some people like little planners they can throw in their purse while others have the BIG planner they can leave open on their desk.

So last week I introduced you to my new Happy Planner… and the Life Planner printables I created to match my Free Wedding Binder!
