    ‘Change the cover and calm down’ I love this! We need it on a sticker (or 2) for sure.

    I love that you are embracing less "planning" and making things aesthetic...and yet it stills look so beautiful!!

    Absolute yes to allowing the imperfection. That's been such a huge shift for me...allowing my books to act as sketchbooks for my brain instead of having One True System or be perfectly aesthetic. And yeah I know what you mean about the 'once you've been in a Weeks' thing....I jumped to a (spring start) cousin this year and I'm not even out of my last year's spring start weeks and am already kindof missing it/feeling overwhelmed by the cousin!

    I'm so attached to the Weeks-ever since my first one about 5 years ago! I love planners so I am so itching to try the other Hobonichi sizes to be able to feel more free to journal in the same space as plan. I'm hoping it would build consistency ;) Thanks for sharing an update in real time, because it's helpful to normalize planner flow/tweaks! Take care Julie!

    I love watching your videos! The transparency level is so comforting, and relatable. I have spent so much money trying to find my planner peace. And your videos allows to me to be gentle with myself, because I didn’t feel alone or ashamed about the money spent lol.
    And like yourself, I have accomplished it! I have planner peace 🎉. I use a horizontal goal layout from Plum Paper Planner with a few add-on. The A5 size gives me comfort. I have included post-it notes and a regular notebook for brain dumps, shopping list, and random to- dos so I’m not complicating life.
    Thank you Julie for being you!

    Im using my cousin for my daily intentions and tarot journal and a B6 Night Owl planner for work.
    I had a wobble in the first week and spent way too much time looking at rhe jibun techo. And then I dug into why I wanted to change. Part of it was thinking my planner could fix uncertainty elsewhere and part of it was not playing with layouts in my B6 planner. And then I was in Barnes and Noble and they had it... I spent 20 minutes staring at it but walked away, and I feel really good about that.

    Covers can definitely make you want reach out for a planner even more! If we are going to be looking at something every day, it needs to make us happy!
    Looks like you found your planner peace so I wouldn’t try to force another book into the equation. If is not adding anything else to your life, it’s ok to put them to the side for now.

    "CHange the cover and calm down" I need this on a sticker immediately with her name for credit . Confession: I rewatch her videos while I am planning just to laugh while I am decorating my planner . Her voice is so soothing and planning-background-perfect LOL

    I love how you are using your hobo A6, it’s my first year using it and I’m using it pretty much like you, it’s kinda crazy and chaotic but also very cute 🥰 I stick the random or ugly stickers I seem to end up with through the year 😂😃🤩

  • @katsmith8263

    I came to realization that I don't like planners anymore. I don't like the limiting structure, I don't like the limiting same layout for the whole year. I want to change layouts in instant, as well as I like to write notes when I want to, so it's a bujo for me now in a grid notebook 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    I am using a Sterling Ink TN 1 full year. I wish I had gone the compact. I plan to next year. The full planner has way too much paper for me and I don’t know how to use it. I put some journaling prompts in the back. I tend to use some of it as a book journal. But that still leaves a ton of paper and I just don’t know what to do with that much paper. I am loving the front of the planner. It is exactly what I need for the monthly and the weekly. I got the horizontal version. I am using that to keep myself accountable for what I eat and for I exercise. That being said, I have not done much this month and I really need to work on that.

    You're amazing Julie and so so beautiful 😍 I laughed so hard at the year in pixels part, "I found it in my stash and I was like let me stick it here and now I have no idea what to do with it. So that's where I am with that."
    It is seriously like that sometimes. It's the zero f**** vibe for me 😊

    I thought B6 was my size. After trying EC, all sizes of HP and really liking the mini hp w/ daily inserts but really wanting to try hobonichi. So I got a A6, too small. Well they don’t have a B6. I happen to find a spring start cousin for like 22$ on Amazon. Gave it a try. 🎉 planner peace. 🥰

    @iluVioletLink 11 місяців тому

    I'm pretty content and happy with my system tbh. First time on the Cousin, second time on the Weeks, and I'm glad I made the right choice to get a Cousin instead of an A6, an A6 wouldve been too restrictive for me.

  • @JenJthatcrazy8
    @JenJthatcrazy8 11 місяців тому

    I'm more focused on your nails vs the planners lol. I'm tempted to get an A6 for the same thing. But I said I was going to get an April start Mega Weeks. I need to get a 2025 planners idea list going. But then I'm kinda neglecting my mini HP that I do still enjoy in my Notiq cover.

    I’ve been loving my Aura Estelle x Annie plans the past few weeks, like the perfect combo of a weeks layout and an A5 size. It’s been really vibing for me, and it’s been letting me really embrace imperfection which is just good for me as a person 😂 I also have a “weeks” from sterling ink just for work and it’s… kind of working? Idk I don’t love it quite as much as I thought but it’s also not not working… 😂 so I can relate to this video.
    Also I love how those two covers look together! I want to be a cover person I just know I’m not. my credit card probably just sighed in relief 😅

    It's funny you say that you feel why am I re-writing them... I ask myself the same, it's a waste of time. And I am thinking of getting rid of my weeks not only 3 weeks into the yr but I hate it bc it's so wasteful and the hobo A5 isn't so portable, or maybe I just NEED to buy a new bigger purse lol shopping reasoning! Lol thanks Julie for another great video!

    Hey there! Things are going great in my planners/journals! I am in a Wonderland222 - A5 for my planner ( I also journal in here periodically), the Take a Note for my daily journaling, and I have a blank Wonderland 222 B6 notebook that I take on the go. I love some of the ideas you shared from other creatives. It has given me some additional ideas when I get the itch to buy other things. I also like writing down where you get the ideas, because I almost always forget. Enjoyed the video!

  • @fishheads08
    @fishheads08 11 місяців тому

    I agree - planner peace in the Hobo Cousin. I love it, LOVE IT!! I have a supplemental A5 Hobonichi grid notebook on the side for trackers, my class info, and basically anything I'd need a blank page for. But I added in a Hobonichi Weeks for work because I didn't want to bring my stickered-up cutesy Cousin to work. The weeks is working great! But NOW I may have my "big girl job" (I am almost 50, went back to school, and am finishing up my degree after being a SAHM for 20 years), and I am not sure if the Weeks is going to suit me anymore. I am trying to decide what would be a good planner for a SpEd teacher job. Another Cousin perhaps? Just without all the stickers? I am not sure..... I would go A6 in a heartbeat but not having the weekly is a dealbreaker and I don't really want to have to buy a supplemental book. Decisions, decisions... Well, now I put a huge long comment in your video haha. Thanks for your fun videos, Julie. I always look forward to them. Your humor rivals mine -- it's great!

    I used a Hobo Weeks for several years and HATED it! I don’t like horizontal planning, but I used it for a purse planner that I also used as a wallet. I was so happy to discover the Weekly Notebook by Paper Tess this year! ❤ I now have a purse planner that I actually use!

    • @ohiogirlincalif
      @ohiogirlincalif 11 місяців тому

      I’m happy so far in a Moleskine Weekly planner. I do use notepaper left over from an old Plum Paper custom planner for daily planning so I can draw a mind map kinda thing and add random notes. Once that runs out, I like what you do in the little Hobonichi and might go that direction for daily humane planning (as opposed to perfection.) I’ve slowed down on kits, too. I like that you take the little Hobonichi with you and actually take it out of the house, too.

    I left you a comment on IG when you posted about your a6 because we are totally twinning with the down and dirty a6 hobonichi to do listing. Agree on the need for a messy space to just be "free" to do whatever lol. I chose oh about 43 planners at the start of the year and I will changed it up constantly depending on how my week is going lol. I have certain planners for certain dedicated things (like content and fitness and family schedule) and the rest really change around.

    It took so much of me to let go of the hobonichi weeks (we had a toxic relationship), of all hobonichis in fact. I think what helps me now is that I was forced to start in January (as sterling ink planners do) and I am still happy in the standard TN common planner. But I am struggling a little with perfectionism in the A5 and miss my wild, scruffy, random little pocket leuchtturm...

My Hobonichi weeks is budgeting. The only one I'm unsure is my Sterling Ink A5 it's so similar to my Cousin and if I want to use sticker kits ?? Maybe I should switch that one out for the wonderland222???? Lol planner problems.
