Thank you, that's so sweet of you 🙏🏻 I'm humbled and always grateful that there are people out there who are interested in what I have to say and show 😊 I never take it for granted, so thank you for giving me a push forward to keep making videos although it is hard now to find the time. But I do my best with the resources that I have. Thank you - you made my day ❤️
Such a fun and cute journal for your memory keeping. Once it is complete it will be so fun to flip through and enjoy all the memories held within the pages.
Yes, I'm hoping the cuteness will tempt me to keep using it 😊 And if the pictures change from year to year, it will be such a fun planner to collect and save. I'm hopeful this will work out 😅
Omg the illustrations are so cute and all different! Wow! So tempting… I also wonder if it updates every year… thanks for sharing a peek and I hope your memory keeping works as planned!
I'm wondering if the January to March designs for 2026 are a teaser for new designs for those months. That would make sense in my mind. You probably could find flips and pictures from previous years to find out, but I also like to be surprised so that's why I don't always make such good background research before buying.
I love these! I usually get the bird version for my mom❤. It arrived yesterday and I flipped through it. SO BEAUTIFUL and simple. I buy her the b6 slim =months only and I add a b6 slim thin notebook (midori) for her notes/phone numbers. You really can’t go wrong with midori❤
Oh, that’s so lovely. Your mom has a very nice setup then 👍🏼 I didn’t realize it was B6 slim, because I think they just call it slim, but now that you said it, of course. But now I need to try to forget about that so I don’t get any ideas to buy more 😅 They are just too cute and I love the MD paper so I just would like to buy all sizes 😂 Since you have history of buying the same planner every year - do you recall do the pictures change every year?
@ I was just able to check and they’re totally different each year! I compared 3 years worth and they all have different covers, month colors, and bird/plants. They’re so pretty. I noticed they weren’t selling the full range at Vanness here in the US. I had to order from Amazon Japan when I placed a small order earlier in the month. I hope they don’t phase them out.
Thank you for taking the time to check 🙏🏻 That's so awesome! Now I'm even more excited about it, because it would be so nice to have a new version every year. I so wish I will be successful with my memory keeping in it 😅 And yes - let's hope they keep making them. They already narrowed down the selection for this year (with my favorite Clover gone), so let's hope they keep up now with these 🤞🏻
Oh my! I nearly bought the same dog theme midori diary but in a different size! Might still happen, it’s adorable 😂. It’s great to see the inside pages. Thanks for sharing. ❤
@ the mini or the slim to carry in my bag for appointments, but I might settle for a packet of the stickers or sticky notes with the same illustrations. I’m trying to minimise the number of planners/notebooks I purchase and focus on using what I have at the moment. After seeing your flip through I did wonder if maybe I should have skipped the Hobonichi weeks this year and bought the same dog one as you or the A6 instead of the weeks. The weeks is my main workhorse. I’ve used it five years in a row. It’s still great but I can feel myself getting bored or something. I’m not sure what the feeling is, just unsatisfied perhaps? 🤔 I’ve bought one now, but it’s not delivered yet. So I guess I’ll see how I feel when it arrives.
Oh, you did find the stickers and sticky notes 😍 I didn't but that was probably good 😅 I think it also depends on what kind of pens you like to use and how your new Weeks deals with those... I have now decided just to avoid all Tomoe River paper products - Sanzen or not - because I just prefer other papers over it. I'm feeling the FOMO but I need to stay true to myself although I would then miss out on some planners... Luckily there are a lot of options out there - and I do like to try new planners and search for something that truly feels like me - and not let the hype dictate my decisions. Not to say that you can't love the Weeks. I just am very easily influenced by what others like or love and then I assume I should love it too... So for my 2025 lineup I went to search for things on the web and bought things that I was interested in. Taking no influence from anyone else. And I'm so excited about my finds 🥰 And that I finally gave in and bought the dog Midori 😅 I'm not trying to influence you to do anything else than to look for the answers inside you. I think that's the best place to look 😌 P.S. Okay I bought something out of FOMO and regret it, so that was a good reminder to stick to my own truth.
@@Katiplans that’s great advice! I am trying to let the FOMO come and go. I know The Weeks will still do a great job, even if I’m not as excited about it as I used to be. I’m the opposite regarding tomoe river paper…I love it! I’m happy to use the MD paper as well, but I prefer TR paper. I am a little concerned that the Sanzen will not be to my preferences, but I will survive. 😅
Midori! I have always loved their designs and the dog one is so darn cute. The white pointy eared dog is literally my dog! But I have no I need for another calendar - ahh! It’s always on my list though of if I need another planner 😅
I have been wanting this dog pattern for years already and now was the time to get it. So maybe it was a good thing that they discontinued the clover pattern. I don’t know why I talked myself out of this just because I haven’t had a pet dog ever. I haven’t had any other animals either and that hasn’t stopped me from getting for example pig or bunny items either. It’s so weird how the mind sometimes works 😅
For memory keeping I used to do dated but it got too crazy to keep up with - also because mine is based on photos. So sometimes there are no photos and then too many photos - so I do it in undated notebooks now… but I think if you are writing, it’s nice to have major events in the monthly as an overview whereas weeklies are more detailed or feelings journaling etc. I sort of do that on a personal level in my hobonichi weeks.
I was planning to use the monthlies to track my RUclips videos - I remembered that idea while editing the video 😅 Because I used the mini diaries for that and I don’t have one for next year. I think I prefer dated because then I can do it whenever. With undated I have the problem if I fall of the wagon, I kinda can’t continue because I want to do it chronologically, but catching up can feel so overwhelming that I stop doing it althogether. So let’s hope this dated system works now better for me. With photos I can see that the space could end up being a problem. There probably isn’t one perfect solution 😅 We just need to find what works best for what we want to do and accomplish now. And with dated - I don’t mind empty days or weeks. I assume that is also one reason why some don’t like dated because of the pressure to fill it totally.
@ Yes good points! I am so used to photo memory keeping for 10+ years now, so perhaps that is why I don’t need pressure of dates but rather more flexibility to add an entry when I want. But for many other things I like dated to keep me accountable!
