Indexing and using the days as normal pages is genius, thank you
You made a very wise choice with the avec version. I’m hating journaling right now because my book is so fat that I am having such a hard time writing on the left side 😓
ohaijoy I’m going to rewatch your videos so I can get some ideas. I thought the 12 months would have a hump until you get towards the middle. Then the happiness would fade fast as the hump would grow the other way as you get to the end of the book. You’re almost there ❤️
I just ordered my first Hobonichi and haven't gotten it yet. Thanks for such a thorough walk through! Right away I could see the Time Table as being use to set an 'ideal week' out (search Ideal Week by Michael Hyatt) and repetitive scheduled appointments or commitments. Which basically is like saying, "if this week goes as planned, this is an overview of how I intend to spend my time". Example: On Mondays for the first two hours of my work day (period 1 & 2), I will work on administrative stuff in my biz. For hours 3 & 4 of my work day (period 3 & 4), I will work on creating content for my blog. Hour/period five is lunch, and so on. Tuesdays on hour/period 2 of my work day I attend my mastermind meetings, etc...". If you're a student you could outline your classes by time period.
If you're an entrepreneur you could outline time you spend for repetitive tasks/commitments or blocks of time you allot (and commit to) for specific subjects/projects/work category/meetings/classes, and then schedule the project categories and actual tasks to support those into your weekly/daily pages.
For example: Tuesdays for period 1 & 2 I work on Project X. I have 50 tasks to complete Project X. In the Time Table I would just put Project X in period 1 & 2 on Tuesdays. Then in my weekly pages I would schedule in which phase or high level task of the project I'm working on for the week (ie: Planning, Design, Validate, etc). On the daily pages I would actually schedule in the supporting project tasks I intend to do (and, if so desired, track how long they take me). That's how I intend to use it anyway! Great video. Again, thanks for the very thorough walk through!
Sylvia thanks for making these videos. You explain in a manner that anyone can understand. And a wonderful sense of humor on top! I always look to see if you posted. Staying away from social media so really enjoy you tube videos.
Thanks for watching😃
Love this breakdown. I had the avec last year, but I found that there were so many unused daily pages, that all the wasted space stressed me out. I loved bullet journaling, but didn't have the time to set it up every month. Now I'm using the Hobonichi Weeks (been using it all year) and although I sometimes miss having daily pages, I love that all my pages are used each week. You can't go wrong with a Hobonichi, no matter which version you use. TFS!
I’m concerned about the dailies, but I have a plan 😆
Your people hobonichi love is so contagious...
Shaywill34 I’m sorry 😆 I’m trying to sell myself 😂
Thank you so much for this. I definitely will order one now!
Thank you for this walk through- very helpful.
Marybeth Whalen I’m glad 🙂
I settled on a grid MD notebook (my 4th one!) for my 2019 pre-planning planner (as you do!) but now I'm totally kicking myself for not getting on board with the Avec system. Really appreciate your helpful flip-throughs, you're quite the enabler! :D
Moonlight Cabin Oh no! 😆 I hope it works for you. This could be a crazy purchase that ends up in the planner graveyard! I think I make these videos to convince myself more than anyone else 😂
Smart. I am attempting a 1 Book November in a dot grid northbooks wide cahier size in the style of a hobo cousin to see f I really like it
Ok I'm here for it . The a6 is too small for me so I'm ordering the Avec for April start hopefully .
hahaaa. great video. I am laughing because in the 'one book july' this year the review of Ryder carroll's book by the ladies that comprise the on book commentary had me on a tear to do a bujo in a different notebook than my avec. I already completed Jan-June avec but laid aside my July-Dec clean fresh book....I got so frustrated trying to do layouts, spreads etc that when I came to my senses and picked up my avec, I breathed a sigh of relief to have so much 'done' for me. I have blank pages for July since I was elsewhere, but I know how to use them--or not and just bujo in my hobo with great planner peace. Hope you love the avec. your thoughtful commentary video is my happy Thursday moment!
I’m glad it worked for you 🙂
Thanks for this sylvia. I just received one for 2020 and enjoyed going through it with you. I see less pages in this one. I ordered the whole year not knowing it is quite heavy. In the back this one has only 5 pgs of grid and is missing a few more. I guess there may be these changes year to year. I. Looking forward to using it. Thanks again.
I’m so glad you got one! I hope you enjoy it❤️
Sarah Martinez But I want the Jibun you showed me 😂
😂😂🙈. I won’t buy the traveler’s company planners if you won’t buy the Jibun! Someone gave me a fun idea for a 5 year diary yesterday and I feel my eye twitching. So we all just need to keep it together!
Sarah Martinez Oh that I could make that promise 😂😂🤣
Hobonichi should give you a commission check!
If I didn't just buy one I certainly would have after watching your video!
Just subscribed to your channel too!
Best,
Kitty
Omg thank you! Lols I’m such an enabler! I’m currently using the second half now😃
wow same! I almost bought the Jibun Techo but I really just felt like if I was going to pay for a planner I'd want the daily space. The weekly only spread feels like something I can do in a notebook for like half the price myself. I also went with the avec and I am super happy bc it fits in a Kokuyo Systemic WITH a breeze notebook from Taroko Shop which is awesome
That’s great!
The month pages in the dailies used to have lines, but they took them off for this year. I think people use them for monthly goals or vision boards. I use them for an index. :)
Prosateuse I knew it 🤗
Brilliant!
Clapping: Applauding oneself. ie. YAY ME! Gold stars. What I did good, what I didn't screw up this week? etc. etc. What do you think?
Haha thats hysterical!!
I have the full year cousin and i'm really liking it. But I don't have the concerns about weight, as I tend to use a rolling bag to carry stuff to and from work. You should check out the RayMay multi-use A5 cover available on Amazon. It fits the full-year one with a little room to spare for accessories, and I'm sure it would also work for your avec with a companion notebook.
Already have it 🙂
I totally get the fresh start mid year and falling off. It's like WE ARE DONE once we start and stop...right? I hate the 12-15 anotebooks a year...this was the appeal of the Cousin I bought a few years back. Oh I am so lazy BUT so am determined to write out my own in advance...you make me want this you know...BUT I will stay strong. You wicked enabler you! I still love you. I'm still watching video while commenting...Shhhhh. ;)
Enthusiastically Dawn 😂 I love that you are making your own! After I saw that I was like I should do the same! Enabler...right back at you 🤣
Enthusiastically Dawn she sealed the deal for me. I’m getting a hobonichi for 2019!! Now to just decide- half year or whole. Heather Mattern’s walk through is also super swaying so definitely avoid it. (If you are weak- It’s her “planners I’m using for 2019” recent video)
Marybeth Whalen So sorry! I’m just trying to justify my own addiction 😂 I will watch that video too, thanks!
Enthusiastically Dawn I’m weak!! I admit it!!
Sylvia From Wright Your Life no apology necessary- I loved it and it cemented something I’ve already been thinking. I love bullet journaling. It works for me most consistently if any other planner system. But I need a monthly view and I hate drawing them out. The hobo is my best shot at having both in one. I’m excited!!
I have ordered the A5 hobo techo cousin, plus I have the Jibun Techo which I won’t be using it certainly isn’t wider than the hobo as only come in slim versions. So don’t get as much room inside
So well thought out! TFS:-)
I’m thinking the timetable could be for a school class schedule. TY for the helpful video!
Yes the jibun looks more technical to me. I so wish this planner was like only $30
Elena Melling Yes! I did contemplate buying Tomoe River paper to print on for the year. I do print my inserts from time to time on it. The cost is around $15 for 50 pages, so when you look at it that way, with printing ink, this is a steal 😊
Wait, you caved!! I really thought you were going to achieve the unachievable. 😂 But, I totally understand the Daily Pages got me to. The Bullet Journal idea is a Brilliant !! Just in case I fall off the wagon at least it will be used for something.
I did 🤦🏻♀️ Yes, bullet journal saves the day 😀
You can use your phone to use google translate and tranlate the japanese. It is fun to do.
Great video. Placed my order for 2021. Which I could find the second half of 2020. Where did you find the companion notebook?
I couldn’t tell you what book you’re talking about? There are memo books for the Hobonichi on the site.
Hobo has been tempting for me as well. I got a Jibun biz to try out. It's B6 slim and SMALL. What happened to your rings? Did you abandon it?
Maerwynn H Never! I’m double fisting 😆
Do they have a Sunday start?
Since it’s almost the end of 2019, tell me if you stayed in this the whole year!
A few months here and there. Will not be purchasing this year!
Sylvia From Wright Your Life Was it a size issue? What was your main planner or EDC?
I think that little poster is a comic strip but i could be wrong as i can only say my name hello and good morning in Japanese. Tomoe Rivere is extremely fountain pen friendly!! As to the size of tje grid being too small i think its because it is a Japanese planner and their kanji, hiragana and katakana symbols are smaller than Englush character. I know their pens are smaller tjan our Western pens for that reason.
Jessica Collins Well that’s more than I can say! Thank you for the education 💛
@@SylviaWithAPlan lol its just my personal theory not fact. I could be totally wrong. Im trying to learn Japanese as i want to go there one day and feel its important to know the language and customs of the country you visit
Jessica Collins rightfully so! I hope you make it there 🤗
What cover will you use?
Andrea Ann I don’t know! Open to suggestions since this was a last minute purchase 😆
@@SylviaWithAPlan
Well I dove head first knowing I enjoy the A5 size and went with a Gillio Appunto but would also consider either a Chic Sparrow or Sojourner folio cover.
Haha, I wouldn't invest in something too expensive. You know how often you change your mind 😉😝🙊🙈
Yaaaaaaaaaasss! (sorry, I know you were on team nobonichi a couple weeks ago)
Tiffany Liu Tiffany you’re my favorite 😂 🤗
Lol nobonichi ROFL
You fell back on the hobonichi wagon. Yay! I love the ordering from Amazon so you don't spend that much. Tfs.
@@SylviaWithAPlan now the burning question...what cover will you use? XD
Why did you buy the hobo if you have the MTN?
mysummertouch Dailies!!! 😀
@@SylviaWithAPlan will you buy a cousin hobo in a midori standard size? That's my ideal planner
mysummertouch If they make one I’m sure I will get around to it!
I just have a question. If there is the hobonichi cousin, where is the hobonichi uncle?
