no one asked, no one probably cares ~but~
HOBONICHI REVEALS OPINIONS POST
1. The Original (a6) has gotten an English ver!!! WOO!! sadly this year I'm buying a Cousin (a5) because my eng Planner (a6) is just bot enough space.. but if I'm gonna figure out that a5 is too big, golly the Original will be bought for sure!
2. I love this years pen!! I dont own any and I def am going to own this one! Whether due to ordering directly or from getting it from a reseller on etsy, just know I will own it!!
Its just rly good nuetral colours?? my brain rly likes me
The bags are cute but also like from what I understand they are small so like.. idk if truly usable for me. Still would like to get one though!
Now covers!
DAY 8: These are nice. Not something I'd buy though. I like a design geberally but also as much as i like the pink and lavender, its weirdly not bright enough for me— maybe vibrant is the more coreect word. That black or navy with light blue inside is nice but I do not want such a dark cover generally.
DAY 9: THESE ARE SO CUTE!!! I'm definitely getting a pencil board or 2 lol My issue with these is that I don't want a white/neutral canvas coloured cover. Just not really my thing. I love the yellow weeks but I am not using a weeks sadly.
DAY 10: Honestly if this was a zipper cover, I would be into it more. I like the colours and shapes a lot. Also loveee the pjs!
DAY 11: These are sooo cute!!!! I'm probably going to get the folders and uh I think one of these is a notebook? I'm just not about a black cover even one so cute. It doesn't help that the ribbon bookmarks don't have any dangly ends.
DAY 12: Not my style at all but very stylish and nice!! I love how its 2 different textures that are the same colour.
DAY 13: SOO CUTE! But again its a weeks lol and just grrr I got no use for a weeks. The a6/a5 covers..... don't appeal to me. I think they are cute but the colours and illustration just doesn't really inspire me I guess I like a darker sky. I'm def getting a pencil board— I don't own that like dusk? dawn? with the city lights cover but I loooooove that one!! So I'm so down for a pencil board!

Hey friends (ADHD and otherwise) if you are wanting to try out a paper planner but are like "ah fuck it's already February there's no point I would be starting behind and it would drive my brain nuts" I have EXCELLENT NEWS!
While many American planner companies publish planners that begin in January and then a version that begins in August/September, Japanese companies typically release January planners and then April start planners!!
My favorite planner company overall is the Hobonichi, and they dropped the April start releases at the beginning of the month. Hobonichi last year finally expanded to offering (I think all??) of their planner options in English, if having Japanese is too distracting for you for whatever reason. (I personally never had a problem, the calendar dates are still numbers and the quotes at the bottoms of pages were unobtrusive to me and easy to ignore. But having them in English translation is fun!).
Their smallest and cheapest option is the Hobonichi Weeks size, and there are tons of sellers (including hobonichi themselves) who sell cases that double as a wallet. If you buy an April start I believe it will also include the Feb weeks to gradually transition in.

It is so funny to me that you think you and your content are interesting enough to get actual supporters and be able to make a living out of this... Just trying to be honest here!
Everyone knows that the only reason you have a few followers is because you are a copycat. Nothing but a copycat, actually.
Someone in the hobonichi subreddit mentioned you and said this: "There are heaps of copycats, dozy ghoul is one of the most egregious but an unbelievable amount of journaling accounts have popped up in the past year that are just carbon copies of her style and methods." Pretty much everyone can see you're a copycat who's just trying to make it seem like you're so original and everything's your creation...
You're also quite ugly, so I guess I understand why you never want to show your face. But that's beside the point I suppose.
And another thing l've noticed is that you're so... condescending? When talking to/about people? You posted a whole thing the other day about how much it bothers you when people make grammar mistakes and when they don't have perfect English but it's like? Are you perfect? I don't think so...
Far from it, actually. You just sound and seem so rude.
I think it's only a matter of time before people start realizing how much your "content" sucks and how you don't bring any value to this community. And it's so clear that you're just doing all of this for monetary reasons. It's so obvious you're just trying to make "content" to also make a living out of it. Trust me, it's not going to work out for you. Hope you figure something else out.
Again, just trying to be honest here and save you some time.

Techo Kaigi 2023
2023 is drawing to a close and the new planners are sitting in my drawer, calling to me in all their pristine loveliness. But before I talk about 2024, how did 2023 go?
Pretty well, actually.
I started 2023 with the following planners:
Daily personal journal: Hobonichi Cousin
Daily carry: Hobonichi Weeks Mega
Commonplace book: Hobonichi A5 notebook
Writing journal: Hobonichi A5 notebook
Health journal: Hobonichi Weeks
Work journal: Hobonichi A6 Techo
Overflow/bullet journal: Midori Codex A5
By the end of 2023 (actually, by about mid-2023) only two of those got switched out for something else and one got added. Which is pretty good. There are, however, a few other changes I am making next year. I’m going to go through each in detail.
Were these the right journals for me?
Actually, yes. Although there is some reconfiguring, the basic principles of the journals above is going to remain consistent. I need a place to write personal journal entries that stays at home and a place to track things and make notes on the go. I enjoy both writing and commonplacing. If I want to focus on my health, having a dedicated journal helps. And I keep a separate journal for work because it may contain information that shouldn’t really go outside of work. And then sometimes I overflow into another space because I want to deep dive on something that doesn’t really fit in the others. None of this is changing.
Daily Personal Journal
The 2023 Hobonichi Cousin is going to move into … the 2024 Hobonichi Cousin. This book works really well for me. The finder details of how I use it did evolve a bit over the year, but I think I’m happy with where I ended up. I did consider moving into the Avec as my Cousin is fairly chonky at this point, but I prefer to have the book in English. I will use this in mostly the same way as last year as well:
3 months to a page view: I have no idea what I will do with this next year, but I had no idea last year either.
Monthly pages: I write a daily highlight on each day.
Weekly pages: I currently use these for planning, but this will move to the daily carry. So I am expecting this to become a space for gratitude/manifestation.
Daily pages: personal daily journal entries.
Daily Carry + Bullet Journal
Although the Weeks was nice, I found I ended up feeling things got a bit lost in the weekly view. I pretty much only used it for key dates. I had a Midori Codex as a bullet journal (briefly) but it never worked well for me as I really don’t like Midori paper (a discovery from this year) and it wasn’t something I could carry around. So I tried a Traveller’s Notebook, and again, the paper (which is the same, so I should have realised this would happen) was not to my taste. I solved both by getting a 240 page Sterling Ink TN notebook. This has worked well.
For next year, I wanted to consolidate these into one book. Although the weeks and the TN are smaller dimensionally, carrying both is quite bulky! I decided to get a Sterling Ink Common Planner (2 part book) in A5. I expect it to be used as follows:
3 months to a page view: seriously, I never know what to do with these pages.
Monthly pages: key dates and events
Weekly pages: time based daily planning - what do I do when. This will double as time tracking.
Blank pages: bullet journal which for me acts as a place to work when I’m out and about, as well as an overflow journal. I expect to also use it to write consolidated to do lists.
Creativity + Commonplace Journal
Last year was the first time I kept a commonplace book and this really suits my way of working. I have just about filled it. I did add a separate journal for writing learning, a Weeks Sterling Ink, but this is too small really.
I need somewhere to plan my creative activities, and also to plan this website! Especially as I have a lot of pre-planned content for next year that will need some serious planning to fully prep. So this will be moving into a Sterling Ink Common Planner (2 part book) along with my commonplace book. I originally brought this journal for work, but that ended up being the wrong choice. However, it ends up working out just fine as a combined creativity planner and commonplace book.
3 months to a page view: index.
Monthly pages: website and social media posting schedule. I want to be able to look back and see what got planned and what got posted.
Weekly pages: day to day creative planning - writing, the website, reading, etc.
Blank pages: commonplace book and creative ideas.
Bonus journal: A5 Sterling Ink 520 page learning journal
I will keep the learning separate. It makes it easier for me to re-read it and finding all my notes is going to be increasingly important next year for the content I have planned here.
Writing Journal
The Hobonichi notebook worked well last year as the smoothness of the tomoe river paper makes it a joy to write in. I really need the low feedback paper to write without my hands hurting. But, this year I want to focus on a daily writing habit, so I wanted a daily journal. And I wanted to use the new A5 Hobonichi Hon, but was a bit worried about how it would bulk up as my daily journal. So my new writing journal is the Hobonichi Hon A5.
3 months to a page view: actual daily ‘wordcount’. I want to be able to see the patterns of writing I manage to complete.
Monthly pages: I wanted a place to do mini doodle/zentangle art every day. As I don’t really need the monthlies for anything writing wise, I am going to use this space for that.
Weekly pages: responses to prompts, ideas - anything I feel the need to capture. This won’t really be ‘weekly’.
Daily pages: writing
Bonus journal: A5 Sterling Ink 520 page worldbuilding project journal
As my days vary quite a lot, I know I might not actually write every day. But I can write the equivalent of every day. The idea is to try and keep up with the days and that is why I am also recording the actual daily pages written. I also have a worldbuilding project planned and this will be kept in its own journal. Its an alternative history world so I will need to do a lot of research and then ‘adjust’ reality.
Health Journal
The Hobonichi Weeks was perfect for this. I recorded calories and activity against each day and then used the back pages for planning food shops. I am going to switch to the Sterling Ink Common Planner Weeks Compact for 2024 only because I think the vertical weeklies will be better than the horizontal ones (if I’m wrong, I can always get a Hobonichi Weeks).
Work Journal
It turns out I hate A6. I also think having a weekly overview is better. As is being able to keep my notes in the same book. I changed to a an Undated Sterling Ink Common Planner and I plan to stick with that. I got the ‘half year’ size so I can carry it around more easily.
Is everything Sterling Ink or Hobonichi?
Pretty much. There are two reasons for this that I can now articulate pretty clearly:
Tomoe River paper. I love this paper. Fountain pen inks never feather, even the wetter ones. Its incredibly smooth, and reduces feedback, which in turn reduces pain in my hands.
The grid size. This is perfect for me.
There are other companies out there who can meet this need. I did consider the Wonderland planner for a work planner. I also looked at Aura Estelle and I may get an Undated from here when my current work journal runs out (it depends how many of the note pages I end up using).
That is a lot of journals!
Its only 8. Well, 9 because I expect to use another journal as a record of a big trip I am taking next year. I know it seems a lot, but with the exception of the Worldbuilding Project journal, all of these were things I used last year. And most were filled (or will be full either by the end of the month, or when they come to their natural end). That being said, no one should feel like they have to have this many journals. I started with one - a single bullet journal. I ended up filling it very quickly, which is when I started to have more than one. You have too many journals if:
They are the ‘right’ journal, but you can’t fill them/keep up with them.
Keeping up with them is causing you stress.
Other than this, the correct number of journals is the number that help you function day to day, in all areas of your life. That bring you joy when you use them. I would find trying to cram everything into one book and running out of space stressful. This is what works for me, and in 2024, I will be sticking with it.

In case you weren't aware this blog is a Mr. Saturn worship space
Here is our sacred text
And this is our uniform
In all seriousness Mr. Saturns are just Very Good and I love them immensely and I'm so glad Hobonichi is making such quality merch of them like a whole book of every line of their dialogue and headbands designed for human use
Also check out the background on that site! Perfection
Finally, a Mr. Saturn trivia tidbit, courtesy of
In the English version of Mother 2, Mr. Saturns say "Dakota!", after the name of two United States, wheras in Japan they say "Gunma-ken!" after the name of the Japanese prefecture :)

Listen, I know I kind of clowned on Hobonichi in some of my initial impressions posts, but I caved and bought a HON...
I stand by what I said about them being overpriced, especially with how quickly the cover on my little A6 notebook fell apart. However, I think the daily pages in a Techo would serve me really well in the coming year because I've been keeping daily entries consistently for the past few months. And while those entries aren't always super long or take up a full A5 page worth of space, it's still creating significant bulk in my 6-ring binder. An A5 Cousin/HON seemed too daunting for me to try and fill daily, so I opted for the A6. And I did originally want the Japanese version, but I found an English version on Ebay for a significantly lower price (with the Hobonichi store freebies included) and decided it was worth it to buy secondhand, even if it's not exactly what I wanted. I did a lot of price comparing between ordering on Amazon vs the Hobonichi store and between the Original Techo with accessories (not included with a Cousin or HON) vs getting a HON with the freebies. In the end, I think this was the most cost effective purchase that also fulfills what I really wanted the most (I couldn't stay away from the gorgeous Yamazakura cover. I mwan just look at it 💖). If I want additional accessories in the future, like a cover or additional pencil board, I could get them later down the line, but I feel pretty good about this initial purchase!

Hi!! would you feel comfy sharing which Hobonichi do u use? i’m trying to decide on my first one :) also is there anywhere you recommend buying them (and covers) from? thank you!! <3
hello~ i have the original japanese monday start a6 hobonichi! if you're planning to buy for next year, i know hobonichi is planning to release an english original version (that means the same layout as the japanese original with the different colored months and quotes) so maybe you'd be interested in that ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡
if you're from the US, you could try the jetpens website for both planners and covers! i'm from the philippines so i got mine from a local seller that does group orders ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭ if you're looking for covers from previous years that aren't being sold on the official website, you can try mercari or carousell for second hand ones! hope this helps, anon ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
