I'm still trying to decide how to use it without feeling overwhelmed haha I don't know why I seem to have a mental block about the weekly sections 🙈 what do you use yours for? It gives me encouragement that it's a fav for some people. I have faith that I will find its use for me hopefully before the end of 2025 🤪
I use a Hobonichi weeks mega as my EDC, a regular weeks as my crochet project tracker, an A6 AVEC as my health and wellness planner, an A5 Cousin as my detail planner for everything not related to health and wellness as well as some memory keeping and an A5 HON in my business pursuits as a researching tool, I am a professional Genealogist. So to recap I use a weeks mega, a regular weeks, an A6 AVEC, an A5 Cousin and an A5 HON, so 5 in total although I am thinking of changing it up in 2026 and combining my A6 AVEC Health and Wellness and my Weeks Crochet Planner/Tracker into a Single A5 Cousin it’s too late for the upcoming year of 2025 as things have already been purchased and setup.
I love this so much! It just sings to my OCD soul of having a place for everything 😍 That is so clever to use your regular weeks as your project tracker, I really like that idea and may use the little Weeks one for art project tracking too! I can see where combining your A6 Health and Wellness with the Weeks Crochet Planner into one Cousin could totally work! You'd just be combining the two you're currently using into one bigger space and you know you'd use all of the space for both of those purposes 🙌🏼 I love hearing about how other people use their planners, it's so inspiring to me. Thank you for sharing 😊 Also, professional Genealogist is so cool! That has got to be a super rewarding career 🤗 it must be awesome to have all of your research in the one spot as well so you can keep track of it all but also be able to look back through easily.
It makes me happy to hear other people need to try out all the different sizes to see what works best too 😊 I feel like it changes from year to year too, or depends on what my end goal for the use is haha change is inevitable for me 🤪
@@shelbseroo Hahaha I think wearing gloves for work has always helped protect them! I've always used a ton of hand cream too cause of how drying the cleaners and stuff get too so I feel like that part of being a mechanic helps the cause LOL.
It's the Garmin Epix Pro 47mm! I cannot recommend it enough for a fitness watch, it is totally worth saving up for. To be honest, any of the Garmin watches are great and they make different models for different needs. I started with the Descent G1 for scuba diving (which doesn't see the light of day the last few years lol), then moved to the Forerunner 955 for when I was more focused on my running, and used it along with my Apple Watch. I exclusively use this model now because it's amazing for running as well as other sports like weight lifting and water sports like paddle boarding or kayaking. They also have all held up really well in my work environment which is super dusty and dirty so they really are tough! It's replaced my Apple Watch and I have no regrets there haha.
Stick with what works for you. Is Hobonichi really what you need to be successful in 2025? It is a very good expensive planner, but Plum Paper isn’t cheap either. Maybe the structure is what is needed for your Sophomore year of planning.
Structure is definitely something I need for planning haha, you're so right there! And I love my Plum Planners for actual planning and tracking, they have just been what consistently works for me year after year. I appreciate the fact that it's all laid out consistently for me and it's really digestible for what I need from a daily planner. And like you said, they certainly aren't cheap so it really is important to do what works best considering the investments we make in our products. I am looking forward to using the Hobonichi as a kind of brain dump/memory keeper for the end of each day. It's such a small space too that I don't find it overwhelming where I found the A5 Cousin SO overwhelming to start. I'm also looking forward to practicing my writing and new calligraphy in it, the paper is so lovely!
the green weekly supplement is my favorite out of all the hobonichi's.

Love your haul. I'm the same trying all of the sizes to see what I like the best.

This is completely off-topic, but I just have to mention your beautiful hands and nails. You could be a hand model!
Aww thank you so much, that is such a lovely compliment and just made my day 🥰🫶🏼
@@CaoimhinCreates I’m serious. You should be a hand model!
Okay right? And then I heard you say you're a mechanic and I was shook!! Haha
@@loreedavis5988 You are so sweet! I wonder if I could turn that into a side hustle to help pay for all the stationary 🤣🙊

Just wondering what is the brand of your watch that you are wearing?

I just realized the mask is a book 😂
OH MY GOSH! Okay I literally had to go back to look, that is amazing 😂 thank you for sharing, you would be an "I Spy" champ 📖🫶
@@CaoimhinCreates Also he has the Cousin A5 around his neck. And I guess that's supposed to be the A6 for the mask.
