    Welcome to the Hobo Cousin world! This book changed my life 4 years ago. It’s my EDC, nothing pretty work horse! My cover dupes as my wallet. Love it and it’s so portable! I still buy all the stickers and other planner just to play in but all work, schedules and journaling go into my Hobo❤.

    The Hobonichi Cousin is my planner peace, ive been using one since 2016, before that i tried every time of planner system going but always gravitated back to the Hobonichi and now ive used it for so many consecutive years and now never feel the urge to try different planners, i just love this planner as i only need one book for everything :)

    i switched planners so many times in 2020-2021 and used a Cousin for 2022 and i finally found what i love! i actually love the paper and i like the look of ghosting because it feels like the planner gets more use/love. idk how to explain it lol. i love having monthly/weekly/daily and have figured out how to make the planner really work for me after trying to many others. i have the english cousin for 2023 and i can't wait to use it

    I’ve gotten into tomoe river paper in 2022 and I love it, it’s a dream to write on. I am using a wonderland planner and notebook in one cover so my year is together. I’ve started doing a lot of journaling in it. Like you, I love that you can switch up what you put on your daily pages and the format. It’s a game changer for me!! Glad to see you enjoying your hobonichi and look forward to more videos like this!

I'm so excited! I got my covers from Etsy. I have three and I just sort of rotate based on mood :)

    I love the paper and being able to feel the writing through the other side too!! I loved seeing all the weekly spreads - I've also seen someone use them but turning the book so each column is landscape and using it to write an mini paragraph diary for highlights/ gratitude etc instead that I might try out. Loved this video xx

    I so identify with you in this video!!! After not being able to settle in with the very beautiful Hemlock and Oaks planner I got for this year, I decided to get a Cousin Avec in early August. I was curious about Hobonichi last fall, but decided the paper situation was enough of a concern to avoid it. Interestingly, I don’t care one way or another about the paper. I feel like I can relax and just try things in this Life Book - which is what techo actually is. I love the daily pages and being able to do whatever I want. The monthly and weekly gives me the structure I want. And it all fits in a contained and fairly small book. It’s a great fit for me and what I want from a planner. So glad you’re enjoying yours!

  • @Adventuresover40

    I have been so tempted to try it for years and have yet to do it.
    My life has been changing so frequently (and hopefully changing again soon) over the last two years that I can't find what works yet.
    Maybe if this new change happens I will give it a go. This video has really pushed my intrigued button even more.
    I love your layouts.

    I fell down this rabbit hole a few years ago. I then fell down the stalogy rabbit hole and any time i try to go back to rings, EC or anything else i find myself back in a bound system. I love my Sarasa Grand pens. I think i have every color and then buy the fast dry ink refills. Enjoy! Oh and blotting paper or construction paper i keep handy if needed since the ink can sit a little wet for a bit :) Have FUN!

    I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ how you're using the Cousin. I will be starting my 2nd year in Hobonichi planners. But when you said "we know, we don't care" I about lost it. But it's so true. Another pen to try and very accessible is the Masters Touch Fine Liner pens at Hobby Lobby. Amazing! My favorite. My favorite part of Hobonichi is that it weighs 2 ounces. So easy to move around. As of "now," I think I'm using Hobonichi A6 Techo and the Mega Weeks for 2023. Have a wonderfully blessed day!

  • @meimeimei49

    I get the A6 for journaling since it doesn’t have weekly pages. If you end up liking the planner that may be something to consider to keep it private. I have been using the cousin a little more than a year & still tweaking how I use it but just love the flexibility. Hope to keep seeing this as you get into it.

  • @ajbee1065
    @ajbee1065 2 года назад +1

    I red red from the Hobonichi website too and was shocked by shipping so I flipped over to Jetpens to compare and maybe Amazon Japan, where I made my first Hobonichi purchase. I think it ended up being about the same price to get the same items from jetpens with free shipping since the item price was a bit more there. Amazon Japan didn’t have anything yet. So I figured I wasn’t going to save much if any money by going over to jetpens.

  • @msteppling3550

    Until this video, I did not like this planner as I had no idea how to do a page spread. To have an entire year with monthly, weekly and daily views in one compact book is huge! I have a Coach notebook/journal cover and prayed it would fit. It does and I am super stoked to maybe having planner peace. Thanks again for sharing your designs and reviews.

    I love my cousin. I used to walk dogs and needed to juggle 20+ appointments a week, and the weekly view was great for that. I have found that it isn't quite what I need for a planner so I'm just journaling without using the page dates now. It's also great for that but after I fill it I'm switching to a less expensive journal 😅
    I swear by Tombow mono drawing pens on TRP. They barely leave an impression on the paper even without the pencil board and they dry nearly instantly.

    Not sure if you noticed later, but the English version hobonichi 2023 also does not have the Japanese holidays colored in. It is more neutral for outside countries.
    Another thing I like about the dark colored pencil boards, is that they neutralize the Black ink writing on the back side of the page, so that the grid pattern is easier to see on the blank page you are trying to write on.

  • @anya425

    Great video, thanks so much. I have been tempted this year to get one as I find it fascinating. I think it's great to have the month, weekly and daily view. Thanks for the pen test. I'm a sarasa fan, so that works out well. I have my heart set on an ec softbound in bloom this year, but if they ever have a year that I don't like the designs, then I'll give it a try. 😀

    The crinckling and the ridging is why I can’t let it go. I don’t like the feel or sound of construction like paper (the one that that is thick and textured and gel ink sort of feathers).
    Biggest issue I have is that I’ve used it for work the whole year and it’s thick, really thick.

    Helen at TCMC talked me into a Hobo and I only used it for a month. I couldn’t do the smearing, the paper, the stickers, the tiny writing. I’m sure I’ll go back to it occasionally but I’m sticking with EC for the paper 😅
