Living my best life with my planners and crafts
Back into Journaling | Take a Note Planner |
I decided to re-date October in my 2023 Take a Note Planner so I can get some thoughts onto paper! My Hobonichi Cousin is just too big, so I will see how I go with this for a couple of months!

Welcome to part one in a 3 part series of my 2025 planner lineup! In this video, I'm introducing my Kinbor planners - these will be for Uni. I'm super excited to have these two planners - I've never had a Kinbor before, but they look really lovely and the paper feels nice too! There's been a bit of a delay with one of my other planners, so sadly I will have to delay the video slightly, but ther...

Welcome back to another video! Sorry for the delay - as you'll hear in the video I was away on a wee break with my Husband! I hope you enjoy the video - not much talking and lots of lovely LoFi music due to noisy sports in the background!

I think I've got the software issue sorted! Fingers crossed 🤞 How are you all? Welcome back to another plan with me in my Hobonichi Cousin. This week, we're using up a kit, matching a new washi with it from the latest Coffeemonsterzco pre-order and trying not to pull my hair out at the same time! Haha. #plannergirl #plannerlife #thecoffeemonsterzco #hobonichicousin #hobonichiplanner #journaling...

SPOILER ALERT: Fav Things Collective Advent!
I don't know why, but your video is so calming. Like I'm journalling with the friend. Can't wait for more videos✨
@victoriella1015 aww thank you 😊 that means a lot!
Omg I'm in the same boat waiting on my TAN. Arrived at Auckland international on October 16th. Casually twiddling my thumbs waiting. There is definitely a hold up. I don't know if NZ post is actually the handler on this end? Anyways, I love the TAN for journalling because the columns look really smart. And I feel like you can easily do 1 or 2 page spreads every few days instead of a half page daily if you like. Good luck for your exams! I just had mine (Dysphagia and Motor Speech Disorders) 💀
@teaforthesoul oh goodness! Mine said it arrived on the 13th, so who knows! Update me when you get yours and I'll do the same. Honestly, isn't it the best for journaling? Exams are so horrible - I have dyslexia and ADHD, but I'm still doing my best!
@teaforthesoul so an update - I contacted nz post and they said it wasn't actually in the country yet, and I should contact the sender. Does your tracking just say 'recepticle received' in auckland?
@alexplansnz yes it has receptacle received! From TAN "We can track the package to it arrived in New Zealand on 10/16. Then the NZ Post should open the mailbag which the package was put inside and then start to dispatch it. However, we haven’t seen any update since the mailbag delivered to NZ. You can track the package from NZ Post. We will also follow up and check with our post office. If there’s any update, we will notify you as soon as possible." 😅 it will be exciting as heck when they appear at least
@@teaforthesoul that's right. As long as they're here before Jan 1st 🤭
I'm gonna use Kinbor in 2026 since it's affordable. I already have my Hobonichi for next year.
I prefer Kinbor Replacement Manual Book A6 standard series with dots paper (pink side), the cost is less than 3.5 USD. The quality of a paper is so much better for fountain pens than the Kinbor Techo.
I have put Kinbor Weeks in Hobonichi plastic cover with no problems. It stretches quite easily. Also this year they removed the index from notes pages but have 81 pages instead so more than Hobonichi. And I think the grid is clearer so it shows really nicely through the weekly pages which is great!
Hearing a fellow kiwi is always a treat! I love the A6 size
I did some research too and some have been saying that Bachuan means Tomoe River in Chinese….but that was Reddit. I’ve never seen that on a reputable web site. Nice video, thank you!
@PlanitSarah yea, the kanji for Bachuan and Tomoe River is the same, but it is pronounced differently! 巴川. So I think it is right! But if they actually use the Japanese version I couldn't say.
What model of fountain pen is this? I can't figure it out.
@@Manomai89 the little white one? It was a $2 pen from Temu!
I have a "Hello Panda" A6, and mine (November) is spelled incorrectly as well! I just did a video over mine. I wish I had noticed that misspelling sooner!
My kKnbor from aliexpress just Arrived and Im so excited to cover it in pen, but I have to wait. excited to see what set up you do with yours. Just subscribed <3
Welcome! I've got my plan all worked out but I have to wait too lol. Come onnnnnn 2025!
I have an A6 techo as well. The red snake one. And yup. That November is wrong for me too!
@@MissRuthina I guess it's the challenge of having a different language! I'm sure we will all cope 😜
I am waiting for mine to arrive, i used a weekly this year and i really enjoyed the paper.
@simpleaussieplanner5862 oh that's good to know!
I bought the same exact ones! 😁👍 Also waiting for the A5 Panda one.
@@Mel-rb7sr cute! I kinda want them all just because the covers are so cute
I have the same spelling mistake in mine 😂
@@juli.stitched2536 oops lol!
I'm very tempted by a Kinbor weeks for next year. I like the look of the goose cover and also the green leafy (bamboo?) one.
@@kerrym1979 they're all so pretty! I'm super looking forward to setting it up
@@alexplansnz I hope you'll share some of your set up when you have.
@@kerrym1979 yup I absolutely will be!
Hi! 3rd year using the kinbor weeks, and from close comparison with TMR, i think they are not the same as well, quite close but def have difference. And just a note, the kinbor weeks cover quality depends per design....some have soft cover ❤
@@nyek1246 thank you! I'm excited to get into them xxx
Love it!!
Wow these are so cool! I want to try these! Thanks for posting this.
LOVE my Wonderland222
Oh how lovely to have snow in August. We are enjoying cool days here in the US (New York). Happy Planning!
Omg this is brilliant!!!
🤯
great video! i cant wait for mine to arrive, will be my first time using a fountain pen!
@@shanlizlife that's so exciting! They're really delightful. Good luck with your fountain pen addiction that's about to happen haha
Where is the cat washi from please?
Hi! It's from Every Minute a Story :)
Thank you. Never seen that one.
very good
I got so excited finding a journal creator from NZ <3
@@elizabethlaza520 Yay! Welcome
I really enjoyed listening along while working on my own journal
your voice is so soothing i could listen to your videos all day! ps that notebook turned out soo cute <3
what vendor do you buy from on Esty?
From ttstore :)
Wow🎉🎉
How awful! So sorry Alex. That hits so hard.
Oh dear what a horrible planner incident. That is truly sad Alex. So glad that you do have a back up to keep everything organized. Can't imagine how difficult it is to find much during the half way point in the year. I am enjoying my Cousin as my main planner/journal and Common Planner TN as a every day carry. The Cousin is wonderful with all the many sections. Good look with all your tests. Enjoy the week. 💞
I'm truly so devastated and considered giving up planning all together!
Love this video! Great set up for the same Planner (instead of buying something different). I am using a spring Cousin and a Common Planner TN (left handed to along with writing large too). So impressed you are taking Japanese - AWESOME!
So glad you're inspired by my spreads and trying out the layouts to fit your needs. Thank you for sharing that you don't edit your videos, too!! You're absolutely right that 'you don't need that'. I need to learn to let go and free myself from feeling the need to edit (and shorten) the videos I post.
You need to do what makes you happy! To be perfectly honest, I don't have the time to stop and edit 😅 Thank you for the inspiration <3
Well I decoded to turn my hobonichi disc bound. Never again. New hononichi got delivered 2 hrs ago. 😂
Jesus loves you :)
I watched to the end. I like all the boxes you have set up. Think this may work in my SI B6. Have a good week!
To the end club member. Haha. I like longer videos for 'body doubling'. (There needs to be a different term for that because that sounds weird.) I've also been getting the blues, so I've turned my Hobonichi Cousin into a more journal/memory/creative sort of space and am test driving a planner spread that I made for myself.
Got to the end and really liked this. The layout is really pretty. Too much work for me to ever replicate, but I still enjoyed seeing you work on it.
New subscriber, made it to the end lol.
I watched til the end, because I like having your video on while I plan and I appreciate your level of chatty :) Love these boxes too!
Aww thank you, Karina! Xxx
This was a really nice plan with me. Looking forward to catching up on your videos. I did smirk when you said we are almost halfway through the year until I realized it's so true. Summer is in two months :/
Crazy huh! It's almost winter here 😅
Store the ruler with the pencil plate inside one of the books!
"something is affecting my nasal passages" - my new quote for the week. I agree though, summer ick is the worse!
Whoah-I never thought about ripping the washi! Totally do this this week! Great vid Alex Plans. I love your videos 🤩
Thank you so much! I look forward to seeing what you're planning next xxx
Good evening. New subscriber, watching from Alabama, USA. It's so weird/neat that you guys are almost a day ahead of me!! And it's winter here while y'all are burning up!! 😂😂 I hope you have a great weekend!! Blessings Misty
Thank you for articulating your thoughts on SICP. I hadn’t realized what irked me so much until you talked about the timeline. I have an N2V (vertical Weeks-size) and I’m really trying so hard to love it because I feel like I’m *supposed* to, but I just don’t. It doesn’t bring me joy like the TAN does. I am, however, missing a “notes” section to jot down brain dumps and ideas. Currently thinking of getting a cover that will fit the TAN and a notebook, and I may be at peace.
You absolutely hit the nail on the head right there! We need to do what is right for us for our planning journeys
Super fun-just subscribed! I love my A6 TAN and am always looking for more vids for the planner 💖
Welcome aboard!
Really like your A6 TAN and your planning videos, wanted to purchase one but time i went back it was sold out, but i'll stick to my B6 disc custom planner so im good
Thank you!
Saturday's weather was horrific!! I got the worse headache from the nor westers. Thank Gosh we were a little over staffed at work so I got to go home at like 930 lol
