I feel like when you roll with the imperfections, the whole planner gets this really cool handmade vibe. It's only when it's the only thing on the page, or when everything else is overly perfect that imperfections stand out.
handmade vibe is such a good way to put it!
Thank you for validating that it’s okay for a planner to be imperfect! I really struggle with fine motor skills because autism, so everything is always super wonky in my books… I’ve always felt quite bad about it, but this video definitely reassured me 😃
Wonky is charming and unique! 🥰
@@LittleKikuyu thank you for saying that 🥰
Wonky is beautiful!
I used to be REALLY into bullet journalling - it was my stress relief and I would decorate it like crazy. I stopped for a few years, tried on and off but didn't get back into it until the other day.
I don't have any specific structure - weeklies or dailies or anything yet, just trackers and goals, etc. My mental health has been super low and at this point I'm just using it to try to give myself motivation to show up for myself as well as time to just relax and create. Here's hoping it works! Haha
I used to use a bullet journal and swapped to a Hobo cousin for many of the same reasons you did and used it for a couple of years. Now I use a take a note A5, which is a vertical weekly on 4 pages, so I have the daily and weekly overview all in one.
I’ve slowly started to play around with how I want to use one for work and one for personal by adding sticky notes with use ideas and doing sketches. But trying to hold out on the actual setup, but its so hard 😂. So watching you set up your planner helps scratch that itch and totally agree with your points on letting the planner reflect our lives - mistakes and all.
I completely agree with your sentiments on functional decorative planning as well as imperfections. That’s part of the reason I started my channel as well - to focus on just getting started and using your planners and journals and not focusing on the blank page or potential for “mistakes” or imperfections.
i got my first hobonichi order today, second order should be here on monday. im wishing i got the hon already oh well. i use the blank page each month to write my months goals. not a birthday twin, but that was my wedding day haha. i use the cousin as a home catch all, the a6 for my art planning, and the weeks for my job stuff. been doing hobonichi for 5 years now. love it.
I got the Gingham Hon. I also am starting up a planner based UA-cam. You don't have to check it out. But, I'm excited to show people my mess of a planner to let them know we don't have it all figured out and that we don't have to be perfect!
I'm your birthday twin! I've gone down the rabbit hole of your channel this evening and am enjoying it all so much. Thank you for this content and for your attitude of embracing imperfection.
Never too early to get started. Just received my HON and have been dressing it up already too. Makes me happy 🤓
Thank you so much for your kind words on the design! I am still really glad you enjoy it. Your channel is super calming by the way, great video!
Not a birthday twin, but my birthday falls on the day after yours! I subscribed after watching your vertical planner video and binged watched your whole channel today. I have ADHD too and your approach to journaling has me so excited for the next year!
I really enjoyed your honest, human video. Thanks for acknowledging mistakes are okay.
Your video is just what I needed to get back into journaling because I actually stopped enjoying writing in my journal being too cautious about making any mistakes.
I loved the way you said that your journal should reflect your personality ❤
Enjoyed and love the sticker set you're using.
Hand down agree with you about it’s ok if it’s not perfect I m so glad I found ur channel
i love watching hobinichi videos every morning and came across yours! i instantly subscribed i relate to you so much, i like how you said planners are a record of your life and not to worry about writting at the wrong spot. i felt that so much! i'll be watching the rest of your videos
Thanks for sharing your process! I agree that decorating has value for the functional planning process. I am looking forward to seeing your next video!
I’m not your birthday twin but you are SO relatable!! I have had the same journey with using a BUJO for years and then moving into a hobo cousin the back half of this year 😊 I have also ordered the same Hobonichi HON for 2024 as you and I am finding so much peace and quiet in my brain with this decision 🙌🏼
OMG your English is perfect and amazing and congratulations. I live in California obviously speak English. Would love to know 1 million other languages but it’s so difficult here to do so anyways big fan new subscriber keep up the great work.
I am still pondering between 2: the Hobo Cousin Hon or the New wonderland222 All in one planner for 2024 unstacked. Wonderland Besides yearly monthly weekly now has daily pages, extra columns for Satuday Sunday and weekly notes! plus quarter planning and trackers- Both planners are similar Wonderland has the layout I like but a higher price point. SO I will probably stick with Hobo just because the price is quite a bit lower and its not a huge deal going to a different section for monthly. But those quarterly planning areas and monthly trackers of wonderland are hard to resist.This and your video of 36 ways to use your hobo has helped a lot to ground my thoughts for a planner and focus on what I want to create for 2024.Cant wait to see more about your journey in this planner in 2024!
I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts! I totally agree that what matters most is that you capture your life. I do the same thing where I imagine myself flipping through my journals in ten or twenty years and how glad I will be to have recorded my life… I won’t sit there and be upset that I put a sticker on crooked or off-center or have smudged some ink.
I love all the Tomitaro Makino Hobonichi products! The artwork is just my cup of tea. Beautiful.
I love how relatable your setups are, I wish I could make it look perfect but it never does so it is nice to see someone else with an imperfect but still aesthetic planner
I'm using a hobonichi weeks mega and cousin for 2024. This is my first time trying hobonichi but I'm excited!
Loved the rant about being perfectly imperfect. I’m a perfectionist but also a super messy person 😂 I wonder why I have anxiety! My planner is definitely a perfect representation of my chaos.
Thank you for making this! I think you nailed it on the head on how our planners are a reflection of us, as well as how decoration can be function too. Sometimes having a "pretty" page can make it more encouraging to plan on that page. I love how there are so many different styles out there and that as a community there can be something for everyone. Planner "art" can be simple, decorative, chaotic, messy, functional, artsy, or anything in between. ❤ Loving your channel Lindsey you're doing great!
Love your positive attitude!
So agree with your insights. I am also not an artsy person, but I do love decorating my planners and notebooks. I embrace imperfections because it's my book and essentially ME. Thank you for coming out with this content that talks about your style and embracing imperfections. I look forward to more of this!
Thanks for the video! I got the cousin for 2024 but i haven't done anything with it yet, I'm still experimenting with the 2023 one. I love the idea of sticking the little calendars on the 1st page of the month for the dailies, it's low effort and still pretty
I love the imperfection vibe! I identify with that so much. I love printing stickers and using deco but I also cross things out and don’t mind when things don’t turn out 100% as planned. Sometimes I put an arrow to the mess and write what happened there 😅
Looking forward to more of your videos 😊
I love this and your English is perfect!!
You would love the 2024 collection coffeemonsterzco just put out, would be perfect for ur botanical Hon
Love your laidback style!
If you are happy, then it is perfect!!
i think the doodle of you is adorable
It's okay to make mistakes! Still lovable and all those wonderful things 🥰💖
It’s perfect timing! I just got my Mark’s 2024 Agenda in the mail today 😂! So I’ll probably be doing the same in a bit😊. Also, I agree with what you were saying about functionally decorative planning. I wouldn’t use a planner for very long without stickers and Washi!
I'm definitely already working on my 2024 lineup!
Will probably film a video soon :) It's a Hobonichi Weeks, Day-Free, an a6 notebook and two TN planner inserts.
oh i love your channel. Such a comfort watching your videos, i think it because i relate to you so much 😂😁
I'm so glad I didn't try burning the tips of the bookmarks LOL thanks for the tips
So happy to see this video! I purchased the exact same planner and I love TCMC! I was worried that it may not go well with Yamazakura, but I'm so happy to see it looks gorgeous! SUBSCRIBED!
Yay new planner setup! So exciting. Thanks for sharing your process!
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your encouragement...have always struggled with perfectionism. Have recently been teaching myself to not freak out when i make a mistake in my journal so your kind and gentle words were much needed today. Thanks again, just subscribed!
So glad you enjoyed! 💛 You deserve kindness and gentleness from others but also yourself, don’t forget :)
Great video... loved your comments!
Little tip for writing mistakes : frixions pens 😉🙏🥰
you bring me joy, random person from across the world. sub'd and excited to follow along witn you this upcoming year :3 ♡
What a lovely comment. Thank you! ❤️
never too early for setups :)
We will be planner twins next year! I can’t wait to jump into my Makino HON!
Same! 😍
I struggle with fine motor stuff too, seems like the harder I try the uglier it is 😂 Nice to see someone else with imperfections 😊 I'm really enjoying your channel.
Hey birthday twin 🎉🎉
Oh no, we're almost birthday twins. My birthday ist February 21th 😅😂❤
But also a pisces 😍
And your English sounds sooo good. English is my 2nd language too and i think i understand very well but I could never speak as free as you did. 😮😅😂
I've an hobonichi a6 this year and i can't wait to start using it 🎉😂
You have got me uber interested in the hobonichi after watching your video. Just unsure wether to take the jump. Its a fair amount of cash to put out and im not sure what shipping and taxes to sweden would be.
Look into the dupe brands that are like hobonichi... You could test it out before taking the plunge.
@@Amrowe23 Any recomendations ?
Hello! I'm already eager to set up my 2024 diary already, and I haven't even bought it yet! I think I want to change from the Hobonichi to perhaps Midori notebook, but I'm still thinking about it. Oh, and who says functional planning can't be decorative?? For years I had a planner that I got from a kids stationery shop and filled it with stickers! In fact, it helped get me through a really rough couple of years. So I say - do what you want! XD
I really enjoyed this! Thanks!
i absolutely love how you emphasized embracing the imperfections!! i always have to remind myself that it just makes the planner more unique to me🫶🏻
I am your month twin =) does that count haha Another great video. Love watching your content, and love seeing your posts on insta. Great work.
That totally counts!
Hi birthday twin 😊
i love those stickers, they are adorable ❤❤❤
I'm the 23rd!
I really enjoyed the video!! New subscriber here! 🖤
Thank you so much!!
Hi. What was the sleeves you had your coffeemonsterzco stickers in? I’m trying out the Take A Note planner for 2024.
I looks like the Hobonichi photo album. ❤
That's it :)
best way to stop ribbons fraying- burn the tips with a lighter for 2 seconds. the threads melt together.
The ribbons are cotton, not polyester, so they just burn all the way up instead of melting. Don’t do this with the HON!
Oooh very important detail!!!!
Did you upsize TCMC monthly calendars?
They come in two sizes actually, I made the medium size a bit smaller in a word document before printing!
does the hon have white paper like the cousin? It looks kinda cream?
Its the same paper 😊 only the cover is the diff.
Both are the same white but it’s not a bright snow white. More a very light eggshelly kind of white. I love it ☺️
@@LittleKikuyu thank you so much! Im so new to the hobonichi and I was looking for an answer everywhere❤️❤️
@@nyek1246 ahh that’s great news! Thank you!
Nice setup and chat! Did you write your birthday in June instead of July? 🤔
I did but that’s right! I said it wrong in the video and didn’t realise until after I uploaded it 🤦♀️ it adds to the chaotic nature of the video I suppose
Wish the pages weren't so thin. It seems like I can see the line on the next page already, gel pens or anything that isn't a pencil would show?
This is Tomoe River Paper, it’s specifically designed to be thin to reduce the thickness of notebooks (this is a 600 page book or something) and be bleedproof. It’s not ghostproof though. I personally love it, but it’s not for everyone!
my best friend is ur birthday twin.
You should learn about what each one of those plants are and label them. Or just learn about them.
I will maybe get those and paint a scene for them.
Perfection is not a role model. Real life is. What you called mistakes are not. They are part of who you are. If you try to be "perfect", it will no longer be representative of you. You will blend with the masses of people who pretend they are perfect. Regarding not being good at art, fussy cutting and gluing , you always have the choice to try to improve if you wish. Improving does not mean aiming for perfection, it means personal growth. Mind you, this is only my opinion. English is also my second language.
I do agree with you 😊. First, no one should judge others, and, yes when I was a child already I loved images, visual stimulation, it pleases me, helps me calm down (like knitting 🧶 for instance), and concentrate my attention on something else than stress, anxiousness, pains, big crisis in my depression, or just , it’s my happy place for a while 😊.
For trackers #MyDandelionDiairies is really great, she’s organised, efficient and explain things very clearly 😊.
I completely agree with your sentiments on functional decorative planning as well as imperfections. That’s part of the reason I started my channel as well - to focus on just getting started and using your planners and journals and not focusing on the blank page or potential for “mistakes” or imperfections.
