I make separate monthly spreads specifically for bills and spending. If I accomplish a no spend day I get to put a gold or holographic star on that day! Trying to reward myself with positive reinforcement rather than recording spending as a negative.
This was brilliant about the washi and the stickers on the cover. I did the same thing with my Hobonichi this year. Glad I did because some of these I can reuse in the new year if I want to.
I come from almost 8 years of bulletjournaling in a Leuchtturm to the Hobonichi side and I am stoked! Going to be a mom of 2 next year and I feel that this system is going to help me stay on top of everything in an easier way. I notice I don’t have the energy to do my own set ups right now and the Cousin looks like a dream with everything I look for right now. Was going back and forth between Cousin & Techo, but I think I prefer to have everything in one place. Thanks for the video! I liked the walkthrough and some of the ideas you gave us.
Congrats on the new baby! I have absolutely love the cousin and having all the spreads there for me…I just need to fill them in. Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
This will be my first year using a cousin, and you have so many good ideas. I decided to get the full year size because I like to see everything in one place
Thanks for watching! I love the Cousin and really spent alot it time going back and forth between the full year or the Avec. I can’t wait to get into my new planner and seeing if I chose well.
So many good ideas!! I looooove using the year at a glance as a journal index idea!!! I love journaling in the hobonichi! I have a hobonichi for a journal and will be using a different one for a work planner. Ohhhh and those clear post it’s 🤩
I love your video, Heidi, and it was very helpful. My Hobonichi Cousin should arrive today. I love your idea on "no spend" days. I did this last month and was amazed at how well it works.
I'm so glad! I went into 2023 never using a Hobonichi so I really had no idea what will be useful. It’s a learning process and I fully expect that in July I will make more changes. Thanks for watching!!
@@heidisplanning 2023 was my first year in Hobonichi too! And it def is a learning process and I still feel like I have a long way to go haha. And there’s so much inspo online too, so lots of trial and error!
Use removable glue dots for stickers and other things. They are fantastic. Get the 3 pack with temp, permanent and poster. "I had stickers I liked at the beginning of the year, now I don't care for them" This is why I don't have any tattoos except a dot from accidentally stabbing myself with a fountain pen years ago.
You could track the weights you use during your workout. Like the size of dumbbells you choose etc. I love how you define a no spend day. Great video! Thanks
16:41 you could in the sidebar number the days of the month down and then in the next column add your dot/symbol for no spend. And/or track the temp there so you can see the trends better. Then your day boxes can be more functional and less cluttered to see events/appts/anniversaries/bills due type things. Make it cleaner and use the side bar too. And I think it’s easier to see trends that way.
Good ideas. I’m still deciding if I’m going to get the full year or Avec. I love a chunky monkey planner/journal, but I started in April and it’s already huge!😊
I actually got that from the Hobonichi website. It’s called Opanchu Usagi and I don’t know if it is sold anywhere other than Hobonichi. (www.1101.com/store/techo/en/2024/sp/detail_cover/cc24_opanchu/)
I love this video! Such a great set-up. May I ask where you got your clear sticker boxes? I have similar but they are wearing out so they need replacement 🥰
I got them from Temu but I wouldn’t recommend buying from them because about a month after buying from them, my card had some fraudulent charges posted. Luckily it was very small amounts and my bank flagged my card after they hit and I got my money back that day. Live and learn….thanks for watching!
@@heidisplanning I'm sorry to hear about your bank issues. I haven't actually ordered anything from there, but been curious. Now I'm definitely NOT going to by anything from Temu. Thanks for the warning! 😅

You brought up such great points, as far as the changes you’re making and why! Super helpful for me!!

Thanks for the idea! I may do that!
2:11 there’s tons of good cover options for the Avec and full year cousin now which is awesome. Midori is a great one ❤
I know! I am sure I’ll pick up more as I get through 2024! Thanks for watching!
Great set up. I love tabs but in the hobonichi cover they are not needed for sure. Lots of great info. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
Such great ideas!
Thank you!! 😊thanks for watching!
Good ideas.
I’m still deciding if I’m going to get the full year or Avec. I love a chunky monkey planner/journal, but I started in April and it’s already huge!😊
I like the look for a chunky planner but it has gotten frustrating writing in it now. I am curious if I am going to like the Avec better in 2024.
I’m new to Hobonichi this year and you’re video had so many great ideas on how to think about using it. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!!
Love that black and white checked cover! Where did you get it?
I got the cover in my Hobonichi order but Amazon now has it available if you would like to buy it (amzn.to/3Fp3OVB). Thanks for watching!
Do you have a link for the yellow plastic cover you show at the very end of this video?
I actually got that from the Hobonichi website. It’s called Opanchu Usagi and I don’t know if it is sold anywhere other than Hobonichi. (www.1101.com/store/techo/en/2024/sp/detail_cover/cc24_opanchu/)

You can actually use Extra gum boxes and they work great!
@@JustScribble That sounds great! Not sure we have the same ones in Sweden.. 🤔 which ones do you suggest?
@JustScribble my 13 year old goes through a bunch of those…have to steal some for myself!
Hi there! What would you recommend as the same type of clear cover that would fit the full year Hobonichi A5 cousin?
I should have the link to the full year cover in one of my plan with me videos in the description.
@@heidisplanning Thank you so much! I will have a look!
Curious how this is different than a planner? Is this sponsored? These are super expensive.
What do you mean with "different than a planner"? 😅 the hobonichi is a planner? 😅
None of my videos are sponsored (although I wouldn’t mind it…**hint, hint hobonichi). 😜
The difference is the paper. This specific paper is highly prized by fountain pen users. It has unique qualities.
