Cute Hobonichi Weeks Setup 2025
Let’s set up my planner for 2025, which is this gorgeous Harvest Plaid Hobonichi Weeks.
When I move into a planner, I like to decorate certain pages to start making this notebook feel like my own, sprinkle in some cuteness,add some color, and in general make it feel cozy and inviting :)
What planner are you using in 2025? Have you set it up yet?

    Always love watching your videos. This weeks cover is so “cottagecore” and matches perfectly with your adorable cat stickers. I almost went with the Harvest plaid too, but decided on the Paddington Weeks. With my back pages, I usually don’t section them out, I just use the next page, but perhaps I will this year! I am using my weeks notebook this year to keep track of my life with our first baby on maternity leave. Exciting!

    I had a hobonichi weeks before 2019. I felt confined after a while, so I switched to my standard sized TN. This year I'm trying the weeks again in a Navy plain cover. I love seeing your work! Happy Thanksgiving!

      @MaikeOatley День тому

      Haha that's a fun obsession though! What's been your favorite photo paper so far? I've had only good experiences with the Red River Papers and I appreciate that they have printer profiles for all their papers.

      @rachelgoldbeck1995 День тому

      I have been buying old paper packs from goodwill since people never use them it’s a fun way to try a bunch cheap. My favorite is some vintage office max matte paper😂but I want to try red river matte and looking for a nice card stock that doesn’t have a lot of texture.

    I love your comfort page. That vintage card is so adorable! A month or so ago I saw a video from someone I don't normally watch, so I don't remember who she is, but she flipped through her Hobonichi Weeks from previous years. She laughed about how she decided one year her word of the year was "Potato". Another year it was "Moist" with something else, but I can't remember what. Something else similarly fun! Previously my words of the year have been things like "Simplify", "Calm", "Peace", but for 2025, I decided - why not - I'm going with "Coffee"! I like coffee, I have coffee scrapbook paper to use for my Weeks cover, I have coffee stickers, my most used Tombows are #942 and #992 (with #761), so I'm just going to embrace the coffee theme! Am I organized? I won an award at my company outing for most organized! (Out of 120 employees!) 🤣 2025 will be ny 6th year in a Weeks. I use the notes section bullet journal style, but also track things like online orders, who won the NASCAR race each week, why nail color I had done at the salon, movies watched, PTO days, and a few other things. I'm definitely in a good rhythm with my Weeks! Have a great week Maike!

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley 3 дні тому

      Thanks so much for watching Kathy and for your kind and fun comment! I love that someone had "potato" and "moist" as their words of the year! Hey, whatever brings joy and meaning to your life, I'm hear for it! And I think it's great that you're going with coffee and that it is already giving you creative ideas for your Hobonichi Weeks!

Just my boys, mom, dad, brother, sister in law and nephews family. I am using a weeks and a6 for planning, I have a separate b6 journal. My b6 is my synchronicity journal. I write about my spiritual journey there.

    So nice to hang out with you and watch! I’m new to planning - I know, scandalous - and I already feel it helps me getting more structured and organized. I don’t NEED a planner, but now I’m starting to incorporate it into my life and it makes more and more sense and I find more and more uses! Since I wasn’t sure about the whole thing I didn’t wanna spend the big bucks, but found a very affordable one on Amazon ( planning to film a video on it), so far great for me, but if the whole year goes well I’ll have to switch to Hobonichi for 2026. I use fountain pens and they even work in my cheap planner, it’s great paper, no bleed. Your cat stickers are absolutely adorable!

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley День тому

      I'm so glad to hear you liked hanging out together! It sounds like you're taking a very sustainable approach to planning, which is helpful I think, since you weren't sure you needed one in the first place. It's easy to get too complicated to quickly and become turned off by planning completely. And good for you to have found a cheap option that even takes fountain pens! That's neat!

      So glad you enjoyed the video! I must say that though I had fun filming this, afterwards I felt a little unsure... I guess there is a fine line between "relaxing" and "boring", hehe. Really appreciate your feedback!

    Really enjoyed today’s video. I found it calming and so interesting. Yes, I would like more videos with this kind of creative content. I found it real and down-to-earth.

    Lovely to have some relaxing journal time - I agree! I am not used to drawing with an audience, and even recording it gives me the nerves, lol! I also think it's hard to have a good setup to record the right angle, so thank you for taking the time and effort to do this! I think your characters are so cute - also they are looking at each other! It's amazing how adding a bit of color really makes the illustrations pop too! Also an interesting topic to consider personal style. I have tried many times to document outfits and do some wardrobe overhauls, but still end up being a bit all over the place currently. I also work from home or just doing school runs, so rarely dress up... I find myself too lazy to think about it on a day to day basis, so then it just becomes basic like jeans and a sweater.

      So glad you enjoyed this video, Linda! I would definitely consider myself a "line person" in that I really enjoy line art, both the making as well as the look of it. But every time I decide to add a bit of color, I like how much more alive it all looks :) Personal style is fascinating to me. But I try to not stress about it or see it as a must. Most days I am content with a sweater and jeans :)

      @ I have realized that sometimes it’s hard to even objectively think about if I truly like something or am I being influenced and judging with someone else’s eyes - in outfits like what someone my age ‘should’ look like or in art or other parts of life too. Interesting to think about 🤔 because of course our preferences have been formed by our environment and experiences… hmmm what is authenticity!?!?

      Ah yes, that is indeed really tricky. And I think we can be influenced to like something or buy something, but the opposite is true as well in that we can be influenced to stop liking something. I guess that is similiar to what you brought up in regards to dressing "age-appropriate". And I agree that that applies not only to fashion, but all kinds of things... even journaling.
