    Love the Hon! I use an A6 notebook for my daily journaling and absolutely love the size. Maybe one day I'll get a hon! But for now I enjoy the serotonin boost that I get from starting a new pocket notebook every two months-ish. I totally appreciate your effort to go on a no-buy as someone who really can't afford to join team Hobonichi just yet. But I did order myself a Kinbor (the cheaper, chinese alternative!) I got the vertical time series one, it's like a cousin but without the daily pages!

    • @Jojournals90
      @Jojournals90  4 месяца назад

      A6 is so cute. I love the seratonin boost of a new notebook every couple of months. That’s a good way to approach it. Yeah. Hobonichi was waaaay out of my budget for a long time so I know how you feel. I hear the Kinbor ones are good though! Xx

    With regard to the weeks, I loved it, but I really ended up using it as a date book for work and personal, carrying it around whenever I was out (away from desk, office or home), so I had my two very separate schedules with me - just times blocked off. I also used it for shopping lists, etc. for “out of the house”. I felt this, while a lovely little book, was wasting the powerful little notebook, and I did not want to use it for my personal (too small). I ended up using the weeks for a financial journal, which sits perfectly in my secretary desk. The horizontal allows categorized spending to be quickly tallied and entered on to the monthly, and the index perfect for tracking those pesky infrequent or not auto paid bills. Really works well, and keeps the info separate from my personal journal. Just in case the weekly doesn’t work out as a content journal/planner. I also found it is a great, small profile archive for finances, and has really helped me stay focused in my financial goals as it is so easy to tally spending (which went unaccounted for far too long).

    • @Jojournals90
      @Jojournals90  3 месяца назад

      I love the idea of a financial journal, I would love to have one in theory (and I think it would be beneficial to me) but in reality I know I can never keep it up. Im starting to accept the fact that I wish I was a weeks person but it’s just not for me (right now). X

      Thank you for watching. I have thought about using sticky notes, but knowing me I will forget to cover something 🤣 for me though I think there’s also a benefit to keeping personal journaling in its own place so when you are going through dark times you can have some separation. And I don’t get triggered when I flick through my pages. I’m enjoying having it separate (not to mention the fact that when I am writing personal stuff it tends to be illegible and completely incomprehensible 🤣🤣🤣)
