Go Wild 2023 Planner Setup! Plan With Me as I Get Ready for My Trip to the Washington DC Conference

IM NOT GPING TO GO WILD BUT I LOVED THIS VIDEO! I HAVE OFF THE CHARTS ADHD & MY BRAIN WORKS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY !! LOVE LOVE LIVE LOVE IT!!

Can you show us from Oz a video of the Go Wild convention please?

You're very brave for going I know how it feels to get overwhelmed even before the event But sometimes you just have to push you don't wanna miss out and also where did you get that white paper with the black-and-white on the edge do you know what's called sorry I'm addicted to filler paper

I take my planner everywhere because it's my security blanket I have paper in there I can draw if I get too overstemulated or right and also I play with the metal disk like I will put my fingers through the slots to calm me than a planner it's my security blanket you've like it and I'm so grateful I found a happy planner I didn't even hear about them until I stopped at Michael's and there they were on sale never since then I've been addicted

You talk about being overwhelmed. If losing your son is part of that, I understand. I used to be an extrovert, but since losing my son I get easily overwhelmed and at times develop panic attacks when in a large group. I've informed my loved ones that I want to still be invited to functions, but understand that it depends on the day and my state of mind if I will be able to attend. No one knows how it is unless they have experienced child loss. You're doing great and just take it one day at a time. Grief counseling is what kept me from going to be with my son and gave me the tools to cope with life without one of my children. Learn your triggers and what would help to get through them. Take care, Anthony's mom.

I’m like you totally. I’m an INFJ - I do have a great group of friends but none of them are planners so if I ever went to GW it would be alone and I just cannot be that person by herself when everyone else is there with a group. I’m actually pretty chatty when I’m around ppl who are into the same things as me but I just cannot bear the thought of going and feeling awkward bc I’m not with a group. At least when you go everyone will know and love you!❤

I feel exactly the same way. I love to think of going somewhere, but get stressed about all of the arrangements. Once I get somewhere, I usually enjoy myself, but the first little bit can be excruciating for my anxiety! Most people don't know this about me because I'm really good at faking it 😂 having an autoimmune immune illness does that to a person! I hope you have a lot of fun and don't have to use your escape plan (your car 😉).

Supeeeerr cute!!

I wish I had watched this BEFORE I had decorated my March spread. I like the mix of St. Patrick’s Day and Spring design and color. I’m still learning but have grown by leaps and bounds thanks to you Mary Ellen! Love you and your channel! ☘️🌈💚

I so needed this video. I too am feeling very overwhelmed and just going through the motions right now. I’ve been seeing other videos and posts, feeling like I haven’t done enough to prepare, and fallen down my usual introvert overwhelm hole. Seeing this reminded me it’s not about how fancy your planner looks or how overboard you go on gifts and swaps - it’s about enjoying time with people who will get as excited about stickers and washi a I do. Let’s have some fun and Go Wild for a few days!!!

First of all, your hair looks amazing! Secondly, I hope you have such a great time at Go Wild.
Thirdly, I just noticed what town your PO Box is in. And, I live in that same town. I am over the moon thinking that we are happy Planner people living in the same town. That totally made my day❤

I would love to meet you at GW!

I’ll see you there! Thanks for this video. It really is an overwhelming experience but in a good way 😊

I’m going to Go Wild! Hope to see you there!

Will you be vlogging your Go Wild experience?

I really have been looking for a good setup video. I’ve got some ideas of what to add. Thank you and I hope I’m see you there.

That "llama" looks like a donkey! LOL

Love Love Love your nail color!!! Also, love how this planner turned out...the colors are right up my alley!! Hope you have an amazing time! 💜💗💜

Can't wait to meet you at Go Wild! It doesn't matter if you're doing any or all of the things. ❤️

I'm going, and same as you, I don't have the energy for prepping swaps, and buying a new wardrobe for the weekend. I'm even using my same contract cards as last year. My GoWild planner is literally just a GoWild notebook that I got last year lol.

Super cute travel binder! I wish I could go but $600 + is just too much for this beginner planner. I hope everyone has fun!

So pretty! How I wish I could go! Enjoy!!!

Yes, I'm going. :)

Love this!! Love your new haircut also 😊

I live in Baltimore but I'm an older .any and don't drive much. I'll be enjoying the conference via the videos everyone posts. This was beautiful. Thanks

So glad you are going to Go Wild! Love your cover page and planner. So cute! Have a great time and a safe trip.

Glad you get to go this year. Take an empty bag to bring home all the freebies! LOL.
You got this!!!! Remember, it's about the experience. Pick one person to stick your hand out and introduce yourself. You'll be glad you did. I promise. Half-assing is better than not going at all. I am so proud of you for taking this time for YOU!
Be safe, Be Blessed & Happy Planning!!!

Not going to Go Wild. Too far for me (Southern California). I think your Go Wild Planner is practical and beautiful. And I like your awareness of the event through the introvert lense. Also an introvert, I related to that and know I'd need my IPP (Introvert Pacing Plan) to be kind to myself and manage the stimulation and people intensity. Good for us! Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Soooooooo super gorgeous spreads!

Can you remind me what you use on your nails? They look great!

I loved this planner video, it gave me some great ideas for our Oregon vacation. This year has been a struggle for my husband and myself. With my breast cancer and all the treatments we are looking forward to the smell of the ocean, the view, and the relaxing time together. Thanks for such a wonderful planning ideas. It will definitely help me remember what to pack, what to do before we leave. The chemotherapy treatment I feel like I can't remember anything lol. This will help me with that, seeing what I need to do.

Love your hair. It’s a great length. You made all the cute pages so quickly and easily. I hope you enjoy every day of go wild. Safe travels and many blessings to you.

Go Wild sounds fab, enjoy and have fun. Safe journey

Yay! I just used your link for Skillshare; I'm so excited to try it! 😆Thanks so much, Mary Ellen for this and all you do on your channel. Love it!😍👍

Great set up!

Can you share a recap of what your previous Go wild experience has been like? What you liked and didn't?

I hope you have a good time at Go Wild! And I hope you are doing this for you... when you feel uncomfortable... it's okay to say, this is all I can do this time... but am hoping the whole trip is refreshing for you... I'm reclusive too, still haven't made that trip to N.Y. to see my sister... but hopefully soon I can do that. Have a Blast!! 🤗 Hugs to you!

Loved this set up! Gave me great ideas for a big family trip we’re taking this year. Hope you enjoy Go Wild! Can’t wait to see your videos about it!

I love watching your videos!!! I’m going to go wild also and I’m driving and I’m very nervous. I have very bad anxiety and I have ADHD also so I’m definitely going out of my comfort zone. I really hope I can meet you. I am also part of your patron beautifully done planner. I love it very creative.

What a great idea! I really wish I was going. Maybe next year if I start saving up for it now. Ever since I heard about it I’ve wanted to go. I thought about going this year but some major issues came up within the last year and just can’t make it. I hope u have a really great time u really deserve it Mary Ellen 😊

Very cute go wild weekend planner! Have a great time! Drive safe and enjoy!

As a sister introvert, I wish you well on this outing!

I’m a fellow introvert going to Go Wild for the first time! I hope I get a chance to say hi and thank you to you 😊

Would be nice to meet you in attending too from the Caribbean

You really nailed this one! It's brilliant! Love the colour theme and how it turned out. Given me a great idea for a 4 day workshop weekend I'm attending in the UK in April.

Love it!! You are endless supply of ideas and inspiration.

I'm going can't wait to meet you!

I add things when I write and it's off centered, too. I think we all do. Love the planner and pages you made for Go Wild definitely doesn't look like you
" half-a$$ed it". Have fun I think it'll be good for you to get out and away for a few days. Introvert or not. We all need that sometimes. Have fun 😍💓

I can't wait to meet you at GoWild!
