How many of these incredible people do you know? I’m going to share the top thought leaders in the planning community that really changed my life for the better.
And by the end of the article, you will discover that there are people from all walks of life offering differing perspectives and tactics for how to manage your time. Some use decorative planning, some use functional planning, and others focus on one specific aspect of planning.
Ready? Let’s dive in!
Leader #1: Julie’s Plans
Julie’s Plans is a YouTube channel that I frequently watch. She’s so personable and down-to-earth. She is a lifestyle vlogger that shares a lot of planning inspired videos. She shows how she does things, both with and without stickers. As a fellow mom and someone who’s currently working lots of hours, I appreciate that she’s squeezing this in amidst everything else. Personally, I like that she shares various styles of planners as well as different types of planning. I believe she may have been the first person to introduce me to stickers.
Unlike many other planning YouTubers, Julie’s Plans doesn’t rely heavily on decorative stickers. That was probably the thing that kept me watching, as I am not overly decorative myself.

Leader #2: Sara Marie
Sara Marie is another YouTube channel that I stay caught up on. Her personality is just wonderful, making her videos easy to watch. She’s very informative about how to plan. The thing that really sets her apart is that she’s willing to share what it’s like to build and grow a sticker shop online. Two birds, one stone!
Sara is a mother who has quit her full-time job to fully pursue her sticker shop income. She’s very open about her struggles and successes. To say she’s an inspiration for me is an understatement.

This channel is different from the others I’ve mentioned above, which is the only reason it’s at the end. tattooed teacher plans is a more decorative planner, which isn’t exactly my style. BUT… I find her spreads so fascinating! She tackles goal setting, planning, and memory keeping on her channel. Her style is SO different than my own and I love it. It’s like my guilty pleasure!
