Your channel has given me so many ideas. I've never used a planner before, or a bullet journal and I'm about to start both. My life is a mess; digital planning isn't working for me. I need a system that works and I just happen to be a big pen nerd, so I'm not quite sure why I never thought of it before. Thank you for your amazing content! I ordered a bunch of stuff last night, including a Jetstream 0.5 - two actually, as my daughter (15) is going to start this with me!
I love the way you use it. I have my first hobonichi cousin and am debating how to use it; I think this comes closest to what I’m looking for. Thanks for the inspiration!
Ok rewatching this video bc your spreads are incredible and I'm in a hobo cousin for next year...anyways, I just laughed out loud that your word of the year for 2020 was space. I mean how ironic!? LOL we all got space that year we weren't expecting...
OMG I swear you are a sister from another mother...I had this EXACT conversation (with myself, sigh 🙄) about the change to the weekly timeline with 5 at the very top, and that it would now force me to use the line with the number as the start of the hour and not the middle! You must be in a tech field too, it’s that analytical thing 🤣 Another great video, keep them coming please!
Thank for this information I’m currently trying to find a catch all planner that I can use for my Bible studies and daily life. This was very helpful for me thanks again.
Seeing how you use your cousin makes me really intrigued by it! Maybe once I fill up my journal I’ll have to try it out. I like the idea of using the daily pages as part trackers, part journal use, and part to dos and meetings etc.
A lot of the concepts I use in the cousin can probably be applied to any journal. But I love how I've got a whole years worth of tasks, memories, and notes in one journal all together.
Thank you for a great walk-through! I'm awaiting the arrival of my first Hobonichi Cousin Avec and gained some great tips from this video. I really like the bullet journal concept but I'm not great at setting up spreads on blank paper and trying to figure how much space to allot for different sections. The allure of this product is that it's pretty much a bullet journal already set up. I'm also going to keep a Commonplace Book this year so a lot of things I normally would have but in a BuJo can go there.
Loved your setup! I’m switching things up in my Hobo this year as well - Year 4! One major difference is that I’m splitting up my tasks not by topic but by size or time commitment (Swift/Slow). Eventually, I’ll get around to filming and sharing it. Thanks so much for your great tips! I’ve never thought about organizing collections in that way on the dailies. Where do you get your stickers?
This was the video I've been looking for! Thank you so much for the clear explanations. My first year in a Hobonichi cousin as my main planner and I'm nervous and excited (weird, huh?)! I would love to see updates from your planner as you go. Great ideas!
🙋♀️fellow fanfic reader and author. Love this, got so many great ideas from this especially the fanfic tracker page. Usually I just bookmark favorites but a place to note title and author and opinion blurb/ review on it would be great for re-reads.
Hi Lindsey! Recently started running into some health struggles and I wanted to take my tracking up a notch and I would love to utilize this idea. I just want to make sure I understand your method, correctly. Do you highlight the important parts of each day as is on the page to the left, and highlight them accordingly, to your "key" on the right? I think you called this your index, of the sorts. If not in this video, another one.
I subscribed! Taking notes on your great ideas! I love how you use the Calendex (sp) for the Cousin. I will be using the Cousin Avec for everything in 2020. I love how you use the Cousin for functionally weekly planning (not many video’s out there) and hope to see your pages a little more up close in future videos. I don’t use sticker kits in my Cousin, they take up too much space and I need the room for plans and things I track week to week... I am excited to use my Cousin Avec for 2020 for my main planner. I bought the Cousin Avec in September 2019, to try out and fell in love with it. I am also using the A6 Day Free with a Weekly Accessory notebook for my every-day-carry. Thank you for making this video, I look forward to seeing more...
On the pages where you have the lists or trackers in the beginning of January, are you going to journal there? I was little confused on why you put those there. Overall, great ideas and very informative.
I'll journal on the right hand side of each page! The trackers take up a little bit more of the page than a typical daily list, but I find journal on the whole daily page to be a little too much room for the day to day for myself. Hope that helps!
I loved it!!! And What is the type of vellum paper you use to print? Im looking to buy one but dont know any brands or the correct name of the paper! =)
Thanks! The most important thing with vellum is to get the right paper type for your printer (ink jet or laser etc). I have an ink jet printer and this is the paper I use. It’s nothing special but worked out for me! Strathmore Translucent Vellum Inkjet Paper, 8.5"x11", 20 Sheets www.amazon.com/dp/B000KNHRTE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_vDMXUrRSIAPL7
I love your setup and all of your tips. My hobonichi cousin gets here in two days so I’ve been watching your videos. What did you say the brand of the repositionable tabs were called?
Christie Plans thanks for watching 🥰 I use my bullet journal for most of my preplanning truthfully. Before I added the bullet journal into my rotation I would just write it on a sticky note I’d put in the side bar section
lindseyscribbles you know I ordered a cousin, right?! 😆 I was thinking stickies would work or a printable monthly tucked in the pocket. I usually just use the monthly for preplanning, but I love the blurb and character sticker like you’re doing. I’m trying to do a photo most days in my A6 Hobonichi. I’m excited to get my cousin. You keep showing flips and keep me motivated/inspired!
Wooohoo peloton! I ride too, I have been slacking this year but that is one thing I need to refocus on. That bike is too expensive not to sit in my house collecting dust!
I love your collections!! And I love how you've incorporated then into the techo! A perfect mix for me and my mind/style as well. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Don’t know if someone has already recommended this but the 1 Second Everyday app is a good way to help take daily pictures. The app actually will stitch video together for you but I’m pretty sure you can use pictures
My normal morning planning routine takes me around 15-30 minutes. If I’m feeling creative in the evenings I’ll spend a little more time than usual in the daily pages which could bring my daily total closer to 45-50 minutes. This is both my productivity tool and hobby so I don’t mind spending a bit more time in my journal each day
Yeah the color thing drives me nuts too I'm more of a neutral type of person and I want the option to be there be neutral or add color if I want. That's why I've now officially switched over to the wonderland 222 planner!!! You should check it out it's way better than hobonichi! 👍😉🤍
I don't think you babbled at all. Babbling is nonsensical, pointless talking...however, you were just explaining how you use the cousin which was the whole point of the video. There was nothing that was unrelated or pointless in your video. I really enjoyed your in-depth explanation and think it was very helpful. Thanks for sharing...and please don't feel bad. You. Did. Not. Babble. ♥️🙂
I feel like everything you said had a point and was relevant to your explanation of the theme of this video, how you will use your planner in 2020. People who watch these videos want all that information. You spoke clearly and kept on track. I think it was a great video.

Thank you for watching and welcome to the paper planning family! I hope this process ends up working for you as much as it does for me!
OMG SPACE IS ALSO MY WORD OF THE YEAR FOR 2020
yay! It's such a great word!

Crystal Freeland I’m cracking up
I love the way you use it. I have my first hobonichi cousin and am debating how to use it; I think this comes closest to what I’m looking for. Thanks for the inspiration!

Love the trackers in the daily spreads! I will definitely be implementing the calendex in my own inserts!
Thanks a!
OMG I swear you are a sister from another mother...I had this EXACT conversation (with myself, sigh 🙄) about the change to the weekly timeline with 5 at the very top, and that it would now force me to use the line with the number as the start of the hour and not the middle!

Yes! I'm def a techy

I love the cousin! I wish they made a b6 size I’m so worried it’ll get too heavy or big for my purses but I love the setup !!
I travel with my cousin, but I probably consider it more of my ‘desk’ planner
Loved your setup! I’m switching things up in my Hobo this year as well - Year 4! One major difference is that I’m splitting up my tasks not by topic but by size or time commitment (Swift/Slow). Eventually, I’ll get around to filming and sharing it. Thanks so much for your great tips! I’ve never thought about organizing collections in that way on the dailies. Where do you get your stickers?
Most of my stickers are from TheCoffeeMonsterzCo, HappyDAYA, and Keena Prints. They all have their own websites!
This was the video I've been looking for! Thank you so much for the clear explanations. My first year in a Hobonichi cousin as my main planner and I'm nervous and excited (weird, huh?)! I would love to see updates from your planner as you go. Great ideas!
I understand how that goes. 2019 was my first full year in a Cousin and I was so worried it wasn't going to be for me
Love how thoroughly you are using the Techo!
thank you!
Just found this video while researching Hobonichi and you convinced me to get one. Great setup! Subscribed ;)
🥰 the cousin is such a great planner!
🙋♀️fellow fanfic reader and author. Love this, got so many great ideas from this especially the fanfic tracker page. Usually I just bookmark favorites but a place to note title and author and opinion blurb/ review on it would be great for re-reads.
Yes! I find the app a bit buggy too so it’s hard to find the ones I want to re-read some times

I almost ended up going for an avec in 2020 but just ended up wanting to have the whole year in one book. Thanks for subscribing :)
Thanks for the upload! Just wondering, what do you use to print out monthly photos? :)
Cindy Cheong thanks for watching! I currently use a Polaroid zip printer

Ahhh, ok that makes sense. Now I have a different look at it, great idea!
This is all knew too me . Were do you get or order the 🤗 .
Hobbnichic ? really enjoy your video .
Thanks
🤗
Great video:) What pen do you like best in your Hobonichi?
My favorite is the Uni Jetstream in 0.5

lindseyscribbles thank you so much! I just bought one to test! Hope it works because it looks really nice :)
I love your setup and all of your tips. My hobonichi cousin gets here in two days so I’ve been watching your videos. What did you say the brand of the repositionable tabs were called?
They’re post it brand!
This video was so helpful! I love your ideas, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing! What is your current forward planning system? On the weeklies?
Christie Plans thanks for watching 🥰 I use my bullet journal for most of my preplanning truthfully. Before I added the bullet journal into my rotation I would just write it on a sticky note I’d put in the side bar section

maybe we need to start a planners peloton group. I'm terrible at it haha
lindseyscribbles I would love one, the only stationery exercise I actually enjoy.
Dre do you go to the classes or use the app?
lindseyscribbles yes! My name is SimoneSpinZ on there
Thank You for sharing. It eliminates some guesswork for me!
Thanks for watching!
I love your collections!! And I love how you've incorporated then into the techo! A perfect mix for me and my mind/style as well. Thank you for sharing. 😊
thank you for watching!
Love your planning system! I use the jibun techo and we have a similar system. Please continue with some updates!
thanks so much!
You make me want to get a cousin again! Great video 💜
Plan to Create thanks for watching! 😊 not sure if you need an instigator or someone to tell you to remain strong
Same!!
Well I did it! Ordered one! I have bought them the last few years & you tipped me over the edge for this year!
i love your videos!!
raining ravioli thank you 🥰
Omg that hourly line made me crazy in the avec!!
I know right?! It's odd how feeling like I've got a consistent way to approach it now makes me feel so much better lol
Don’t know if someone has already recommended this but the 1 Second Everyday app is a good way to help take daily pictures. The app actually will stitch video together for you but I’m pretty sure you can use pictures
I’ll have to check it out, thanks!
I miss heard the brand of the planner tabs you put the washi on would you mind sharing the name again here? Thank you great video
I think I said 3M, but looking them up on amazon they are the Post-it brand Re-positionable tabs
lindseyscribbles thank you for taking the time out to reposed :-)
How much time do you spend on average with journaling per day?
My normal morning planning routine takes me around 15-30 minutes. If I’m feeling creative in the evenings I’ll spend a little more time than usual in the daily pages which could bring my daily total closer to 45-50 minutes. This is both my productivity tool and hobby so I don’t mind spending a bit more time in my journal each day

I missed the name of the shop that do the cousin full page stickers for the year at a glance; can you please let me know? :)
@virgoandpaper does the kits for those!
3m repositional tabs you say...🤔
I believe it's actually the 'post-it brand' by 3m if you're looking for them in stores
Do you carry your cousin with you?
It mostly stays at home!
You really babble way too much.
sorry about that!
lindseyscribbles you really dont! I enjoyed listening!!
Thank you for listening!
I don't think you babbled at all. Babbling is nonsensical, pointless talking...however, you were just explaining how you use the cousin which was the whole point of the video.
