    I lost my mom to cancer this year and my 5 year is very sporadic but I decided when I come upon the blank spaces the next year around I will write a memory of my mom in the blank space so those have a place to live

    Hi James! I came across this video some time ago and returned to thank you because you inspired me to not ditch my 5 year journal. I have not Hobonichi but Leuchtturm one since 2020. I have been through a lot these last 2 years: ongoing health problems, constant surgeries, 2 heartbreaks and on top of that a war. I’m in Ukraine and still wake up sometimes from explosions in the mornings and from sirens in the nights. There was a time when I didn’t wanna document my life at all. But looking back, I realised that I’ve grown so much since 2020 and I can see that exactly thanks to my 5 year journal. Thank you for this video!

    And one more note for anyone afraid of falling behind: if and when that does happen, you don't have to do the whole catch-up in one session. I like to do 2 or 3 a night until I get caught up again. That's pretty manageable.

    I love my 5 year journal. I have the A5 size and it's a little intimidating to fill the space but once I get started it's no problem and often I even spill over Obito the next page. For anyone who hates blank slots, I think it's a good idea to have a plan ahead of time for what to do about them. You can look up a newspaper article headline for that day. Look up the weather from that date and draw it in, or just put in a nice quote. It doesn't have to be all or nothing! Even if you didn't pick it up for a months, I think just get on the horse and try again :) You'll be glad you did.

    Just about finished with year 1 of my diy 5yr in a Cafe Notes B6. I have had a number of occasions where I put off or forgot about it then had to back track but also days where I decided I didn’t need to back track (usually days that were so mundane I couldn’t remember them). Most of my blank spots were only a day or two roughly each month but I have about 5 weeks in Nov/Dec I was so busy/drained I just left blank and they will remain that way. I have loved it so far and am looking forward to doing even better in the upcoming second year.

    I have this in an A5 starting on 22, and I find I go back and forth on how much I want to write. Eventually I think my kids will see and read it, and that was where I would do “code” for certain things. It’s been the hardest year of my life so I’m happy I have it. I wish I knew about it earlier though.

  • @MeSoDontAsk
    @MeSoDontAsk 2 года назад +14

    I'm so tempted by the 5 year hobo, but I know I'm pretty bad at keeping to stuff, so I just got my usual weeks journal, and I'm planning to try to build a habit writing everyday in that one before making the jump to a 5 year. (Plus, next year I'll be 30, so 30-35 is a nice satisfying chunk)

    Thank you for this video. I've been researching around a lot because i want to get one for myself and your video helped enormously! I thought to get the a5 but now im genuinely thinking a6 might be better. Not only cause its a little cheaper, but also because of what you said, its hard to commit so much and the small space will probably feel too big a lot of times. So i better small it down from the start. Never been into journaling before, so i expect to straggle a lot, but i want that feeling you get while flipping through your years of experience and life

  • @FroggyRaeCreations
    @FroggyRaeCreations 2 года назад +3

    I have been debating on getting this journal type for a while now. I finally did it tonight and it is because of your journaling videos! Love your work. I think I was mostly encouraged and inspired to do it now, because you mentioned it almost tracking your days throughout the years. And ending 'curses' in a sense. The layout of the Hobonichi definitely affords an easier quick glance than a traditional journal. Thanks for sharing and always being transparent!

    @OZdoesArt Год назад +3

    I just recently finished my first year of using my journal, it's really fun seeing how different other people's journaling styles are. I use mine very specifically for practicing writing in Gaelic so right now I'm limited on what to write based on how much Gaelic I know, lol. But there's been quite a few entries where I just wrote something in English if I really wanted to say it. I'm already able to look back and see that my entries are getting longer and my vocab has expanded a lot since the beginning. It really makes me want to keep studying harder to see where my writing will be by the time 2026 rolls around!

    It's that time of year, and I'm researching what to buy from Hobonichi for 2025. I'm considering getting the 5-Year Techo and came across your post. I'm torn between the A6 (such a lovely size) and the A5 (larger, which might be better since I have a ton of things to write). After completing the A6, have you thought about switching to the A5? Great journal-your beautiful soul really shines through in it. Thank you for sharing

    I loved this video! Your pages are so lovely and look so great with all the illustrations and photos. I bought a 5 year Hobonichi in 2021 on your recommendation and I'm so happy I did. It helped me journal consistently and I know that thanks to it I'll have so many more memories to look back on.

  • @RachelGreig
    @RachelGreig 2 года назад +3

    Love seeing all those photos in your pages! Really adds to the journaling. I kept a 10 year journal from 2008-2018 (so technically it was 11 years!) and the first 5 years I did really well keeping up with it, then *life happens* and I had a lot of gaps in the last 5 years. I'd love it to be completely filled but I'm also grateful for what is in there (my kids used it to draw in too, which is so fun to look back on now!) Since 2019 I have been using standard TN's and have enjoyed that. I'm pondering my choice for 2023 and whether to do a 5 year journal to have some years together again :) Oh and your comment about how many 5 year journals we have left in us... hahaha.... I have thought about that too!!

  • @NancyLiliG
    @NancyLiliG 2 года назад +2

    I've kept a daily Hobo Cousin for a few years, so I thought I was ready for the 5 year, but I ended up not being able to maintain it :/ I did it for a 1.5 years, always getting flustered if I'd have to back-log a week or more, but once it got to a month that needed backlogging, I just ditched it. I love how beautiful it is and I was really excited to have it all in one place, but it ended up feeling more like a chore than a labor of love.
    BUT I love looking through yours, James!!

    The Tomoe River Paper won’t change until next year’s Hobonichi 2024 apparently. But I have noticed slight differences with some from last year and this year. They have included a sample with their Hobonichi 2023 which some of us will test with our fountain pens. Thank you for sharing this. I am one who find the 5 year techo challenging mainly for the time commitment as it doubled up with my “normal” journaling. And I did buy it as an excuse for something else too. But have appreciated the multiple year scan immensely.

    Hi James, Thank you for a great video.
    When do you actually fill your right-hand pages? Just when you feel like it? Partially each year for 5 years? Other?
    I’m laughing now about your ‘how many before i die’ comment. I bought a 5-year to start 1 Jan, 2024 *because* in five years I will be the age my mother was when *she* died. My goal, or at least desire, is for my life to be 30 years longer than hers was-but if not, I’ll log all of the stuff about what I do, and how I feel physically if I get a crap diagnosis between now and 31 Dec. 2028.

    • @JamesLukeBurkeCreative
      @JamesLukeBurkeCreative  11 месяцев назад

      Thank you :) partially each year, although some days I’ll do a whole page at once or nothing at all - no set rules. I’m going back through now and completing everything and it’s not super daunting so I think it all spread out nicely over the 5 years :)

  • @EerieSquiggs
    @EerieSquiggs 2 года назад +2

    Thanks for the video! I love seeing everything you do in this journal. I got an A5 5 year after watching your videos and I love it so much. I'm def one that has to go back and fill days after going a while without writing (ah, damn depression and long work hours lmao) and it can be a pain because I have memory issues, a big reason for wanting this journal, actually, but I'm thankfully addicted to oversharing on my tumblr blog so I can usually just pull from that when I can't remember how a day went xD. On days where I just have nothing to put down I usually toss a few stickers down, keeps it colorful at least. Your videos always get me pumped to do SOMETHING in at least one of my journals so thanks again =)

    I couldn't resist anymore I got one to start next year. I don't want to rush the time but I'm looking forward to starting it. I have other 5 yr ones to use in the meantime. I'm bad I don't keep up with it. But hopefully it's going to motivate me to keep it up since it's by the year. I think it will turn into my main everyday journal. I got the smaller one too. Not sure what I'm going to do about a cover yet. Not sure if anything else I have will fit. Will just decorate the box and keep it in that. LOL.

  • @MaikeOatley
    @MaikeOatley 2 года назад +1

    Thank you so much James for this thoughtful video! I really appreciate your honesty. I am thinking about getting a 5 year (and your video has me leaning towards a yes 🙌). There’s something so potentially powerful about seeing multiple years all on one page… like you said you’re becoming more aware of patterns in such a condensed space. And of course every journal is like a mirror, but this seems to offer a view a daily journal or creative journal might not. I guess if we want a multi-dimensional recollection of our lives and foibles, we gotta have all the journals 😂😬🙈

    Okay I’m big hypocrite but that’s okay. Ik I said in 2 months ago that I wouldn’t do a 5 year Hobonichi,but I’ve decided to do it. And it’s going to be a one time thing for my 5 years of my life. So I bought it and I’m ready for the challenge. I just turned 25 this November. And I’m going to be 30 in the last 5th year of the 5 year hobo I got. I really want to see what I can do in theses five years. I’m going to take it day at a time literally.
