Regarding your comment about April being a "weird time to start a planner": this is the equivalent of the American academic planners that start in June or July. This is when the Japanese school year restarts!
Great to know!! I love the back to school energy so will be sure to soak some of it up via my cousin :)
I LOVE the April start. I have always felt that March is the beginning of my year so the April start is perfect!
Yes March is totally when things actually kick into gear!
I love that. The energy of spring is so lovely and everything is blooming and feels renewed. ❤
The use of the writing board as a functional dashboard is a brilliant idea! I’m going to use this for my work planner- Hobo Cousin. Thank you for sharing 🌻
Yay, so glad you can get some use out of it!!
Thanks for sharing! I've used an April start Cousin since 2015 and wouldn't be able to survive without it. It's my work planner. I'm a university lecturer so I like the fact that it starts roughly at the end of the UK academic year - kind of like a reverse academic planner for me.
Nice, I love that use case! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for making a video on the April start!
CoffeeMonsterCo for the win 🙏😷🇨🇦 you tube just recommended you though I’m not a Hobonichi planner - have started in both Jan and Sept with planners - both work for me as my work followed school year and I loved that new planner beginning in Sept - Helen’s stickers and memory keeping keep me watching - thnx for sharing 🙏😷🇨🇦
I'm glad you're here! I'm probably going to do some general planning/productivity content that's not specific to the hobonichi in the future, so I hope you stick around :) Definitely will always have more CoffeeMonsterzCo stickers because I love them!!
I bought eldenring for my son, who was living with me for a while. My husband doesn't like it, but he plays a lot of other games. I also like to watch them play games. I play some games myself, but I have too much other hobbies to really get into it for too long.
Loved watching this while setting up my April start cousin! 🥰
So glad you could plan along Georgia
thank you for that genius flexible way to habit track. I'm definitely not a habit tracker but I do need reminders to do regular care things but not always the same
Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your planning, productivity, and financial tracking system. I'm taking away some wonderful new ideas. And I loved your introduction too. Thank you! Like you, I tried a Hobonichi Weeks this year, which is a wonderful planner in many ways. But I was itching to get back to the Cousin like you. So funnily, I bought a Spring Cousin on Amazon. When it arrived all the way from Japan, I discovered it was a 2021 Spring Cousin!!! Oh well. Luckily, I was still able to get a 2022 Jan Start Cousin and I opted for that. I won't fill in all the details from my first 3 and 1/2 months, but I will fill in the main events so I will have all of 2022 in one book.
I can't believe you got the 2021 on accident!! If I were you I would use the extra cousin for a daily journaling/art/junk journaling space, since you don't necessarily need it dated. I love that you're backfilling the main events, sometimes that can be so fun to remember and create spreads around
Sandra, I did the exact same thing! Waited two months for it to arrive only to realize it was for 2021! Luckily the seller was good about refunding me and I got the proper year from an Etsy seller. 😄
@@daniperkins8227 - I'm glad it worked out for you! I was able to return mine to the seller too!
I love your energy. This was a super helpful video.
I'm so glad!
Love the video and your nail polish!
I really like how you use the monthly calendar to track the fun stuff you’re doing, first with the post it’s and then the pictures and writing. I keep my appointments in Google calendar so I like creative ways to use the monthly. Thanks for sharing. I have been so tempted to try a hobonichi
Hobonichi is great! I find it to be just flexible enough and structured enough for what I need. Plus the paper is a dream. But yeah I use google calendar too so definitely happy to share how I use the monthly!
I love and appreciate your videos so much. I’m new to HobonichiWorld, so you are a huge inspiration to me! 😊
Rebeccah!! This is so nice 🥺
@@RachelleinTheory Well, I have a bad habit of buying planners and never using them. I think it’s because I’ve been TOO scattered to even know what I can, should, or would track in them. Your videos give me hope I can follow through with it all. So thank you for giving me that hope.
I went from a Hobo Weeks to a Hobo a6 Spring start for several reasons (also used a pocket bujo for one month lol) and I don't wanna jinx it, but the a6 might be my planner peace👀
Omg... I am crossing my fingers for you on this one! I love the size of the A6, but when I get in there there never seems to be enough room to do it all!!
Please make more videos!!! Love how you plan!!! Gives me fresh ideas I've not seen on here! Thank you!
Love it and keep up the videos! I also got a spring hobo cousin for the first time!
Thank you for the encouragement! How do you find the spring cousin? I think it's kind of nice to start a few months into the year, after you have had time to really think about your 2022 goals!
I like the someday page!
Nice video and nice setup. Just found your video. Yes, I did do a Cousin with an April start in 2020. I'd started a new job a few months before that and finaliy realized that I needed a dedicated work planner and I knew the Cousin could handle it! And it did. It did feel weird at first having a planner not start in January! It was also my first experience doing a single book instead of an avec with 2 books and I discovered to my surprise how much I preferred a single book. Looking forward to more of your content. Subscribed!
Thank you so much for subscribing!!! Happy you're here and enjoying your Cousin :)
I also picked up the Animal Crossing themed cover and shitajiki! 😄 This is my first Hobonichi and I picked up the April start; I like that I won't have to be shopping for a new planner during the chaotic winter holiday season, given how shipping tends to be delayed then.
I look forward to your April video! However, since the text in Japanese planners is so tiny, would you consider setting up the shot closer? It's a little hard to read zoomed out, and I care more about the book contents you're showing than your coffee mug off to the side! 😅
The Animal Crossing cover is EVERYTHING to me!!
Great suggestion about shooting it in closer! Unfortunately I've already shot my April set up in the same format, but I will take this feedback into account and try it for some future videos, weekly PWMs, etc :) Thanks for watching!
The “lost your boyfriend to Elden Ring this past month” is a mood.
right lol
Thank you. I always wanted to know more about the Hobonichi April start. Would love to see more on your use of it in the future!
I will definitely make more! thanks for watching Doreen :)
That is after the chinese new year. April is the start of the year🎉
Dont believe everything you read in here😅
I loooove the tracking idea you talked about for energy/period/mood etc.. For next year I will use the sterlink ink planner - I will try to include this tracker. Thanks for sharing :)
Of course! I love that tracker too. Let me know how it goes!
Helpful video. Love your ideas for the Hobonichi very functional
Thank you Gizelle!
I'm using the April start cousin and I LOVE IT. Tbh it's because I was late to the game with hobonichi, but yea, it's fantastic! I may grab a January start when they start selling the 2023 ones tho
I was thinking this too! and I'm ok with that, not filling up some pages in the April start. I usually just use blank pages for scrap paper.
Loved the video 🤩 I know you don’t use the weeks anymore but could you please do a flip through of it?
Sure, I can show a little bit of my weeks soon!
Love the expense tracking system you’ve created! Not good at budgeting either! Trying to better too! 😃
Wishing you good luck!! Its hard 😂
Glad to find your channel. Subscribed :). I am starting for the first time Hobonichi cousin, April start! Looking outward to set up with you!
Happy to have you!!
You're right about the hobo weeks! I want a hobo weeks in the size of the weeks, but with the same pages as in cousin!!!! 500 of them: yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily, all in one, in the weeks size!!!! A portable one!!! Probably, the Standard size TN would be great too in the same format! Like: 1st notebook: yearly and monthly, 2nd: weekly for half a year, 3rd: daily pages!
I don't want you carry the Cousin around!
I’m a big journaler, so I literally carry my cousin around. I’ve got the Safari 2 cover, which makes it all worth it.
I got some interesting ideas from the video thanks
Nice and your coffee looks good!
thank you! it was!
Thanks for this video! You made me fall in love again with the Cousin.
The paper you have used for the monthly budgets at the end of the planner, is it sticker paper? If so, could you share the link where to buy it?
Thanks!
It'a actually just printer paper that I taped in! I'm already regretting taping it fully down, because my budgeting system is changing haha. I wish I had washi'd it in. Perhaps that will inform your hunt for sticker paper! Let me know how it goes!
@@RachelleinTheory Thank you so much! I hope you can find a way to make the most out of the budgets you have taped in
Love it!!!
Thank you for watching 🥰
RACHELLE, can you share where you got the lined post it notes? (Both sizes). Thank you, I enjoyed your video!
Hi Cindy! I took the large ones from a work stash that my office provides and the small ones are from Amazon, which I got in a pack with some kraft paper ones as well. I would bet the large ones are from Amazon or Target! Thanks for watching.
I would looooove to see one of your monthly tarot spreads!
I can definitely do a video dedicated to this! I use tarot a lot throughout a month. Check out the most recent vid on my channel for a little bit of my monthly tarot work :)
Where are you getting the yearly tarot spread from?
Hi there! Loved the video, did you create those budgeting sheets? If not can you share where you got them?
Hi Marquette! I made them. Eventually I plan to have them available somewhere!
