I love how intuitive this planner is - the lack of colour, the goal planning, the gold edging... all beautiful. Its like you have taken a Hobonichi and perfected it!
This is a planner made by a real planner girl based on her years of experience of using and searching for a planner. I know how much thoughts and efforts you put into making this planner. All the wishes about a planner that you’ve been talking about throughout the years became a reality in this planner. I have been searching for a perfect planner for years too and I’ve been enjoying your videos because our wishes for a planner are so similar. My search is finally completed. No planner has made me so excited, anxious and happy for a looooong time. This planner is exactly what I dreamed for and has everything I could ask for. Thank you so much for creating this heartwarming little book.
Thank you so much Xuan, yes it took years of planning to figure out exactly what this planner needed to be. I felt like it was finally time to make this planner! I hope you will like the product once you receive it too!
I feel this! This is the planner I DESCRIBE to people all the time. A feint time stamp would make me a bit happier, but otherwise, this is what I describe to people all the time from my years of frustration with three other companies.
This is the closest thing to perfect I have ever seen in a planner! I've been using the Cousin for a few years now, and figured out that a Cousin Days Free with a weekly layout would be ideal. And I love that I can block out my late night shifts in this! So many planners expect you to only work 8-5. Thank you for this very thoughtfully done video, too; I appreciate all the comparisons you did. I think you're going to actually pull me out of my Cousin! 💜
This is a great middle ground between the Cousin and the Day-free. When I had the cousin with the dailies, I felt like I was wasting pages. But when I had the Day-free, I didn't anticipate that it had no vertical weekly spreads, which was crucial for forward planning. This layout is perfect!
SOLD!!! I am so excited that I dont have to cut down a Hobonichi this year! You heard my cries and kept all the best parts of that style but neutralized it for those of us who prefer a clean slate! Definitely ordering next week!
Awe man, I missed the pre-order but hopefully you'll have them available for regular sale later. Do you have an estimated time when they will be up for regular purchase? I'm so happy to see a B6 sized notebook with tomoe river 52 gsm
I can't believe how perfect this planner is: classy cover, quality paper, well thought out features, subtle printing so that there's flexibility with how you can use those features, nice size...not too big/not too small, full and half year options. This has everything I've been looking for in a planner!
Omg this is perfect!! I will probably finally find planner peace! It’s beautiful and has all the features I look for in a planner: tomoe river paper, vertical weeks, no stacked week-end, no holidays, neutral with just one color, Monday start, pretty cover, lays flat… I was starting to think that no planner was going to include all of this but yours does! Thank you so much for this and congratulations on this great project!!
YESSSSS!!!! Ive always wanted a planner similar to the hobonichi cousin but in b6 size. I can’t WAIT to order this!!! I love the goal Planning and quarterly sections and I also love that the “daily” pages are undated. That way I can plan in the front and journal as I feel and not feel pressured to write every day ♥️
Your goal breakdown is priceless in this book because I created my goals breakdown based on yours. I even tipped it in. I also been hoarding my sub box stickers, I believe this is the reason. Great creation, Catherine💞💞💞
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This planner has everything I have wanted. Perfect size, paper, layout, page numbers...this could really be planner peace for me. I am really excited to use it next year!
100%. I would have snapped this up as quick as I could have if it were A5. Should you consider selling an A5 with ~ 400 (or 200 for half-year) blank grid pages after the weeks, you'd have a customer for life.
This is AWESOME!!!! I'm so excited about this planner. I've been waiting a while to use a B6 notebook, tried a Stalogy for a moment but I need slight structure in my notebooks. I do not like drawing out months or weeks. I love Hobonichi cousin notebooks which I'm using right now but I was secretly hoping they would make a B6 size for more portability. Looks like you beat them to the punch and I like yours MUCH better. Can't wait to pre-order... so excited.
thank you for thinking of us shift workers!! 24hr time would’ve thrown out scheduling for me. and also giving weekends equal space!!! not everyone works mon to fri, 9-5. appreciate the layout!
It should be no surprise to anyone who has followed you and your shop how perfect your planner is. How every detail is so well thought out. I love the fact that you added your goal planning sheets, that you added enough blank, UNDATED pages to last an entire year AND... you didn't add holidays. Absolutely perfect, so well done. Kudos, Catherine. You continue to be utterly amazing and set the bar so high in the planner community.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for all these years. I wanted a b6 cousin that still had the weeklies, no dailies, without the weekends stacked. It’s perfect 😭
@@SterlingInk thank goodness. I seen mandylynnplans do her reveal and I instantly was like I need one. So I came to your RUclips channel to figure out why I couldn’t find it anymore. Thank you so much for offering this awesome planner.
What a great job! Such a labor of love. You seem to have thought of everything. Personally I prefer a horizontal weekly like the weeks but I’m going to give this a try because it checks all my other boxes. I am excited for it to arrive. I love b6 size and it’s so hard to find a perfect planner, especially in this size. Thank you for your thorough video and all the work you out into this.
Aw, I love this planner so much, but I’m too late to see this video and the preorder is close already. So sad. 😢 Hopefully you will consider to have A5 with a whole year sticker and month tabs bundle, including the cover (option) as a whole package and that would be wonderful!!❤ Hope I am lucky enough to buy one next year. 💖
This is perfect!! The best parts of the Hobo planners without all of the unnecessary stuff. Love the middle size, just right! Can't wait to order. Hoping you will be designing some of your beautiful stickers just for this.
Thank you for the VERY thorough video. I've placed my order and any hesitation I might have had was answered by this video. Really excited to receive it for so many reasons! (B6 size, in English, goals and quarterlies (!!!) no military time, great hours set for the weeklies, a year's worth of daily pages, markings made to draw out the days, etc...this is awesome!)
Ahh! This is perfect! I'm off to find the link to buy! Thank you for designing a perfect planner for those of us who want it all - the dated section as well as blanks for both daily lists and bullet journaling collections! :)
Yay I’m so glad to hear this!! I just found this video and it seems like this fixes all of my woes with my current planning system. I hope to grab one when you open up sales again ❤️🎉
This is literally incredible. No military time on the weeks, no squished days in the weeks or months, numbered dailies, goal setting, no ugly colors, Monday start... I feel like you made this just for me. 🤣 On my way to pre-order!! ❤
Oh my… this planner looks pretty close to perfect. I love the mauve color, it’s gorgeous! I love B6 notebooks - they really are the best size… I love the smaller grid - I moved from a Weeks (with a 3.5mm grid) into a Stalogy (with a 5mm grid) and find myself desperately missing the smaller grid. I love how many blank pages it has, the Stalogy was a good move for me because even after I drew out my monthlies and weeklies, I still had ~250 pages but this having even more blank pages means I don’t have to be careful with taking notes during meetings and journaling. I’ll be purchasing one, simply for the beauty of it and supporting! My only request is for future planners, could you consider making Weeks style weekly page? Everyone does vertical layouts and that just doesn’t work for my brain, and I’m sure I can’t be the only one. 🥺The Weeks layout works best for me, if it was in a B6, with more than 215 blank pages (which sounds like it should be enough, but since it’s so small, rarely is), I’d literally die in planner heaven. Beautiful planner! When I get my next check on the 14th, this will be on my purchase list!
Very impressive and so well thought out! I‘m quite in a dilemma now! 😂 And such a nice decisions to make it available as a preorder and save us from the frustration of it being sold out immediately because for obvious reasons you wouldn’t want to overstock a new release without knowing how it will go - preorder is perfect! Also: Thank you for setting reasonable shipping costs for international shipping! Sometimes the shipping from the US to Austria is 45 USD alone!
Beautiful planner, I am so thrilled to see this. B6 has my heart, but I have really missed using a Hobonichi Cousin.....this is perfection. Thank YOU!!! I will definitely place an order, now i have to decide on the color to go with, and also, full year or half year style 🤨😜
This is definitely your new baby! You really have a well thought out planner; it’s just beautiful! I think I am leaning towards the half year option for the reasons you suggested in your video 🥰. Congratulations, Catherine 🥰🥰🥰
Wow! I love so many things about this planner. Wish I had seen this video before I’d purchased my Hobonichi for 2023. Hope you have a smashingly successful sale and plan for 2024. I will save this and be back next year! ❤
I love the design of this! I think a lot of us have wished for a B6 cousin with undated daily pages, and you are granting that wish! Amazing, I can't wait to see it in person. I wish there were an option for no gold edge, but that's very minor quibble considering the inside is so perfect! 💖
I can’t even tell you how EXCITED I am for this planner!!! It’s beautiful and so very well thought out 🥰 I’m also looking forward to archiving each year, it’s going to be so neat having all the years on display in our office for easy and quick reference 💕
You are truly a 🌟 Catherine! So excited to FINALLY have a B6 Hobonichi Cousin/Avec option and I like your layout so much better even! Genius you are not using “inferior” Tomoe River paper / printing/font like a couple other companies in the US are, the white Sanzen TRP with your clean & crisp font/print is just glorious. Congratulations and good luck 🍀 with the sales, I will buy both the full year and bundle.
I love the way this gives you either a planner with lots of flexibility or a journal with a little bit of structure. Love the minimalist design and the fact that it is bound. Will definitely consider purchasing in the future - would be interested in a future expansion into A5 size...
I so want a full year one don't care about the color it's just the perfect planner .maybe santa will bring me one. My hubby is disabled veteran I recently became disabled so this is perfection to keep track of all the appointments.lol because they are numerous. I would also love you to design either a full box or half box of in memory stickers because I haven't seen one that is functional and beautiful I watch these video and must comment that you are so gifted in artistry . All of your work is just so stylish and beatuiful.
Have been a Hobonichi fan girl since 2016, but I just preordered! All the things I didn’t like about my A6 Hobo are perfected in this one. Now can’t wait to get it!
Definitely getting one of these. Thank you for NO MILITARY TIME!!!! Thank you for goals AND quarterly AND weekly AND daily. B6 isn’t my size, but the layout is too perfect.
This is perfect! I am so excited about this planner! I will be pre ordering on the 1st! Full year mauve is my jam! I cannot wait! I will be using this as my memory keeper/journal. Beautiful planner Catherine! Congratulations on this milestone for your small business! So happy for you!! 💕
I only started to hear about this planner when people received it! And now I am completely smitten with it, but too late. 😢 Hope this year is an incredible success so that you will offer it again next year. Perhaps even in an A6…❤
I just placed my order and I am SO excited. I've been searching for a planner that has monthly, weekly and daily in one planner. I've always liked the Hobonichi Cousin but hated the colors, not being able to understand what it says and how the daily pages are dated, which limits the flexibility for combining days when needed or adding collections, etc. Again, I am so excited to receive my book. Thank you so much for listening to us planner junkies. I hope this planner continues to be offered year after year for a very long time! Way to go!
I can not wait to get this. I was having serious buyers remorse over a b6 moterm cover I bought impulsively before really doing research over what kind of planners were available in that size. I was about to put it up for sale when this video came up on my feed...thank you for this!! This is everything I've been looking for ❤️❤️❤️
I was going to get the hobonichi cousin for next year but this planner changed my mind! Literally just got an A5 planner cover in the mail for it yesterday and I'm returning it to Amazon today lol. This is my dream planner.. and I am so excited to order. Thank you for this!
Wow congrats on making the most amazing planner! There were things that have annoyed me over the years from all the different planners and you've delivered on what I've been dreaming of. One best thing you've given us...NO MORE MILITARY TIME!! Will be ready to purchase one on the 1st. :)
This is my first time using a Japanese-style planner. I've tried HP, Commit30, Inkwell Press, the Perfect Notebook, and PowerSheets. I settled on Commit30 and already ordered it for 2023. I'm going to give it to my mom because I'm just in love with the size of yours, the minimal goal planning pages, the gilded edges, and trying out the commonplace notebook merged with my yearly planner. I can't wait to start your gorgeous subscription kit to use with the Common Planner. Congrats on your success! You can tell that you put so much thought and hard work into this new product. :)
So excited for this planner! It has everything I wish the hobonichi did and takes away the things I cannot stand. (like the quotes taking up an enormous amount of precious space! I subscribed to the company email list so hoping y'all will announce when the planner is up for sale again through that! :)
I love this planner! It’s perfect with everything I need! I pre-ordered right away! The mauve is different and perfect! Wanted to add, the gold edging is gorgeous!
Congrats on such an awesome planner! I’ll be watching this coming year to see if an A5 will be available (and hoping for no gold on the sides, although I know you can’t please everyone 100 percent). It’s as near perfect as any other planner I’ve ever seen. Cheers!
Such a beautiful planner! I think I will buy the black one as a planner for work and the mauve as my private planner. B6 is the perfect size for me. Love the gilt edge!
Even the pencil ghosts, not sure what to write with that won't interfere with the view. 🤔I do love the layout and how thoroughly ideas are explained in this video.
What a beautiful planner! The thoughtfulness behind everything from the aesthetic to the interior pages to the pre-order process is spectacular. I can't wait to order this!
She said in some comments that they will be restocking again at some point, but not sure when! I signed up for the company email list at least so I will patiently wait for an announcement there. :) Edit: She said later this year in a recent comment :)
It is obvious that you know exactly what you are talking about, and that you used the Hobonichi for a long time - your planner corrected all the things that I did not like in the Hobo - most important are the undated dailies, because I use mine as a bullet journal - but all the little things are just fabulous! The goals pages, the colorlessness, the quarterly planners, and it is so minimal and elegant, really everything - and even the fact it is B6! We just think so similarly :) So this is a definite pre-order, full year black for me please :D
I’m a long-time Hobonichi Cousin user, but I seldom use the daily pages. You’ve designed the perfect planner for me! Minimalist design with no icons, symbols, or quotes. Vertical weeklies similar to the Hobonichi Cousin, with a sidebar. Monthly pages all together, not mixed in with the weeklies. Undated numbered pages in the back. White Tomoe River paper. I like the quarterly section in front too. Everything I wanted. I’ll have to adjust to the smaller B6 size, but it will make it more portable. I’ll be pre-ordering tomorrow. Thank you!
This is set up exactly the way I would want it if I was making my own planner. I love the B6 size but I've never had a planner in that size. I'm going to have to get me one of those! Beautiful!
I am SO beyond happy I found this planner. I was thinking about getting a hobonichi again this year but the red and grey color scheme really bothers me. This is literally everything I could ever want in a planner while still looking tidy, minimalistic, but incredibly intuitive and functional. Everything about this planner is just *chefs kiss* beautiful 10/10. Love this.

Agreed! I missed it too.
Same

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This planner has everything I have wanted. Perfect size, paper, layout, page numbers...this could really be planner peace for me. I am really excited to use it next year!
Thank you so much!
Lovely planner, very well thought out. I’m an A5 person. B6 isn’t my thing, but I’d def order if you ever decide to expand your size options.
100%. I would have snapped this up as quick as I could have if it were A5. Should you consider selling an A5 with ~ 400 (or 200 for half-year) blank grid pages after the weeks, you'd have a customer for life.

This is beautiful. I am holding out for an A6 in 2024. I am STILL wanting an A6 monthly, weekly, daily with 365 dailies. Fingers crossed. Love this.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for all these years. I wanted a b6 cousin that still had the weeklies, no dailies, without the weekends stacked. It’s perfect 😭
Thank you so much!
Omg, this is everything that I want in a planner. I hope this planner becomes available for purchase again!!!

You've fixed several big issues I've always had with planners; specifically giving weekend days their due space. Mine's preordered. Thank you.
I'm so glad RUclips recommended this video! This is definitely the best planner type for me. I already wrote the pre-sale dates in my planner!
Thank you so much!
These planners are beautiful! Blessings.
Congratulations very excited for you
Please make it in A5!!!!
What a well thought out planner, great job 👏
This is perfect!! The best parts of the Hobo planners without all of the unnecessary stuff. Love the middle size, just right! Can't wait to order. Hoping you will be designing some of your beautiful stickers just for this.

Really well done and laid out! Love the minimal design, very elegant looking. I don't care for all the random colors in the hobonichi.

Genius you are not using “inferior” Tomoe River paper / printing/font like a couple other companies in the US are, the white Sanzen TRP with your clean & crisp font/print is just glorious. Congratulations and good luck 🍀 with the sales, I will buy both the full year and bundle.
Thank you so much! What is inferior Tomoe river paper?
Inferior TRP? 🤔 can you please expound
I love the way this gives you either a planner with lots of flexibility or a journal with a little bit of structure. Love the minimalist design and the fact that it is bound. Will definitely consider purchasing in the future - would be interested in a future expansion into A5 size...
I so want a full year one don't care about the color it's just the perfect planner .maybe santa will bring me one. My hubby is disabled veteran I recently became disabled so this is perfection to keep track of all the appointments.lol because they are numerous. I would also love you to design either a full box or half box of in memory stickers because I haven't seen one that is functional and beautiful I watch these video and must comment that you are so gifted in artistry . All of your work is just so stylish and beatuiful.
Have been a Hobonichi fan girl since 2016, but I just preordered! All the things I didn’t like about my A6 Hobo are perfected in this one. Now can’t wait to get it!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the detail explanation of the planner. Excited for Thursday
Thank you
I am so excited for this!!! A planner made by a planner girl who understand what we want in a planner ❤️
Thank you so much Lisa
This is perfect. This is what I been looking for planner and journaling in one.
Definitely getting one of these. Thank you for NO MILITARY TIME!!!! Thank you for goals AND quarterly AND weekly AND daily. B6 isn’t my size, but the layout is too perfect.
Haha Thank you Betty
I agree. I love everything just wish it was an A5.
Love how the weekends aren’t stacked and the end days of the month aren’t squished together on the monthlies!
Cara penyampaian nya.. sangat detail,saya suka vidio ini,mantap
This is perfect! I am so excited about this planner! I will be pre ordering on the 1st! Full year mauve is my jam! I cannot wait! I will be using this as my memory keeper/journal. Beautiful planner Catherine! Congratulations on this milestone for your small business! So happy for you!! 💕
Thank you soooo much Raiy! It's all because of you guys :)
Take my money now! Exactly what I have been looking for for years!!!! I am so excited!
Thank you so much!
I only started to hear about this planner when people received it! And now I am completely smitten with it, but too late. 😢 Hope this year is an incredible success so that you will offer it again next year. Perhaps even in an A6…❤
Wow, so impressive, I placed my order, looks absolutely perfect!!!
Thank you so much Laurie!
Beautiful planners.. so well done, Catherine. Love the clean aesthetic and practicality. Can't wait for the 1st to place an order!
Thank you so much!
I am so thankful you have taken the time to create this! 👏❤
Thank you so much!
I am so excited about this! This is the perfect combination of everything I love about some of my favorite planners. Thank you Catherine!
Agreed! This is like the best layout I've ever seen. 😍
Thank you so much!!!
@@keiralee Thank you so much!
Close to perfection indeed. Except for the gold edging.
Perfection! Every single detail is simply perfection! Thank you! So excited.
Thank you so much!
I could seriously cry. This is the EXACT planner I’ve always wanted my hobo to be!! 🤩😍🤩
Haha thank you so much!
I just placed my order and I am SO excited. I've been searching for a planner that has monthly, weekly and daily in one planner. I've always liked the Hobonichi Cousin but hated the colors, not being able to understand what it says and how the daily pages are dated, which limits the flexibility for combining days when needed or adding collections, etc. Again, I am so excited to receive my book. Thank you so much for listening to us planner junkies. I hope this planner continues to be offered year after year for a very long time! Way to go!
I'm sad I found out about it after my hobonichi order but I hope you will make another one next year. It's looks like a dream!
I can not wait to get this. I was having serious buyers remorse over a b6 moterm cover I bought impulsively before really doing research over what kind of planners were available in that size. I was about to put it up for sale when this video came up on my feed...thank you for this!! This is everything I've been looking for ❤️❤️❤️
Haha perfect! I read your mind!
I was going to get the hobonichi cousin for next year but this planner changed my mind! Literally just got an A5 planner cover in the mail for it yesterday and I'm returning it to Amazon today lol. This is my dream planner.. and I am so excited to order. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it
Wow congrats on making the most amazing planner! There were things that have annoyed me over the years from all the different planners and you've delivered on what I've been dreaming of. One best thing you've given us...NO MORE MILITARY TIME!! Will be ready to purchase one on the 1st. :)
Thank you so much! haha :)
This is my first time using a Japanese-style planner. I've tried HP, Commit30, Inkwell Press, the Perfect Notebook, and PowerSheets. I settled on Commit30 and already ordered it for 2023. I'm going to give it to my mom because I'm just in love with the size of yours, the minimal goal planning pages, the gilded edges, and trying out the commonplace notebook merged with my yearly planner. I can't wait to start your gorgeous subscription kit to use with the Common Planner. Congrats on your success! You can tell that you put so much thought and hard work into this new product. :)
This is the most fantastic planner I have seen! Dare I say, I may find planner peace in 2023. (I just jinxed myself, didn’t I?)
Thank you so much! Shhhhhh I hope so but let's not jinx ourselves haha
So excited for this planner! It has everything I wish the hobonichi did and takes away the things I cannot stand. (like the quotes taking up an enormous amount of precious space!
I subscribed to the company email list so hoping y'all will announce when the planner is up for sale again through that! :)
This is awesome. So exciting! Thanks for sharing the details.
Thank you!
I love this planner! It’s perfect with everything I need! I pre-ordered right away! The mauve is different and perfect! Wanted to add, the gold edging is gorgeous!
Congrats on such an awesome planner! I’ll be watching this coming year to see if an A5 will be available (and hoping for no gold on the sides, although I know you can’t please everyone 100 percent). It’s as near perfect as any other planner I’ve ever seen. Cheers!
Such a beautiful planner! I think I will buy the black one as a planner for work and the mauve as my private planner. B6 is the perfect size for me. Love the gilt edge!
Haha sounds perfect. Thank you so much
Even the pencil ghosts, not sure what to write with that won't interfere with the view. 🤔I do love the layout and how thoroughly ideas are explained in this video.
So excited about this. What a great layout
Thank you so much Kimberly!
Love them! I was decided on next years planners but I’ve changed my mind. I need these 😍. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful planner! The thoughtfulness behind everything from the aesthetic to the interior pages to the pre-order process is spectacular.
I can't wait to order this!
Thank you so much Courtnee!
I'm excited for you and us! Thank you for doing this video to explain this new planner. I will order one! BLESSINGS
Thank you so much!
I will be purchasing this. I have been waiting for this size with weekly, daily and monthly and yay!!
Thank you!
oh ooo this is so nice!
Such a beautiful planner. You included everything I want, perfect size as well.
Thank you so much!
I have only discovered this I'm so guttered I have missed out on getting one. Will there be another chance to buy one? This planner is so perfect😍😍😍
She said in some comments that they will be restocking again at some point, but not sure when! I signed up for the company email list at least so I will patiently wait for an announcement there. :) Edit: She said later this year in a recent comment :)
Yes please please please reissue these!
It is obvious that you know exactly what you are talking about, and that you used the Hobonichi for a long time - your planner corrected all the things that I did not like in the Hobo - most important are the undated dailies, because I use mine as a bullet journal - but all the little things are just fabulous! The goals pages, the colorlessness, the quarterly planners, and it is so minimal and elegant, really everything - and even the fact it is B6! We just think so similarly :) So this is a definite pre-order, full year black for me please :D
Thank you so much!
I’m a long-time Hobonichi Cousin user, but I seldom use the daily pages. You’ve designed the perfect planner for me! Minimalist design with no icons, symbols, or quotes. Vertical weeklies similar to the Hobonichi Cousin, with a sidebar. Monthly pages all together, not mixed in with the weeklies. Undated numbered pages in the back. White Tomoe River paper. I like the quarterly section in front too. Everything I wanted. I’ll have to adjust to the smaller B6 size, but it will make it more portable. I’ll be pre-ordering tomorrow. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Sooo excited for this notebook! I can’t wait to order because this is exactly the layout I’ve been wanting for such a long time! This is beautiful!!!
Thank you Shirley. I am glad I read your mind :)
This is set up exactly the way I would want it if I was making my own planner. I love the B6 size but I've never had a planner in that size. I'm going to have to get me one of those! Beautiful!
Thank you!
I am SO beyond happy I found this planner. I was thinking about getting a hobonichi again this year but the red and grey color scheme really bothers me. This is literally everything I could ever want in a planner while still looking tidy, minimalistic, but incredibly intuitive and functional. Everything about this planner is just *chefs kiss* beautiful 10/10. Love this.
Thank you so much Megan!
Only 6 minutes in to the video and love what I’m seeing so far. B6 is my favorite size.
Haha thank you!
