😀i am new this yr, i just use timed section to list important times i need to remember eg 12-lunch with sister etc.
i write if someone spoke, in person, phone emails to me about something interesting or that i want to remember. how i felt about that convo or news headlines, days mood in general, self care for that day =ideas or reflections for life or planner or hobby or budget or inspo quote at bottom- hope that helps x

Hello! I very much enjoyed your video about your planned setup for the Cousin. This will be my FIRST time using the Cousin. I don't know what I am going to do with all that space! I can't wait, though. My Cousin should be here Tuesday, and my cover on Friday. I bought the dark green cover with the zipper. It cost just as much as the Cousin, so I hope it's worth it! I also bought the pencil board and two blank notebooks. They should also be here Friday. I am not sure if the notebooks are graph or blank, but they aren't lined. I enjoyed your video and will subscribe so I can see how things turn out as the year goes on. Thank you so much! Your video was one of the better videos, as most of the videos I've seen are too artsy and cuteish for me. Good luck, and I hope to hear from you at the end of January! --Wynntopia

Thank you so so much! 💖 Sounds like you made some great choices. I hope you’ll love your first ever Cousin as much as I love mine, hahah. Oh and I’m sure the dark green zip cover is worth it - I never got to see it in person, but it’s definitely really pretty in pictures! 📖

In my cousin I use the yearly overview to track my holidays, the yearly index as an table of contents for my daily pages, the monthlies as a mix of future planning and memory keeping, the weeklies for time tracking and project management and the dailies for my daily task list + notes. In the empty note pages I have some trackers. I don't really fee the pressure to use the preprinted pages in the back. Some years I have used the time table and the favourites pages for their intented purposes.

Sounds like you have a great system! Thank you so much for sharing. 📖🤍

I use the monthly blank page in the Hobonichi cousin for a quick snapshot of media. So I will just divide the page into 6 or so sections (they aren't necessarily equal): Mangas Read, Books Read, Music, TV Shows/ Movies, Webtoons, and then the 6th one depends.

Ohhhh, that’s such a great idea! Maybe I’ll try something similar! Thank you so much for the inspiration. 📖🤍
