It's so good to see your planners again! Ofc take your time with video making, I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful planners (whether or not you're still in hobonichi by the next upload :))
I am such a supporter of planner-hopping! Needs change and sometimes you need a new layout to feel more creative 😄 Love your vids Lindsey, you inspired me to start my own channel! 💖
Glad your back, but just wanted to say YT breaks need to be normalized as much as possible! Also planner hopping! :) Do what feels right for you, we're here for it! Side note: YT really needs a mechanism of letting creators go on breaks without penalizing their ranks in the "ominous algorithm". Unfortunately I don't think they care about their creators enough to do something like that. :(
I'm happy your videos are back, such a nice surprise to see this pop up in my notifs. (Totally get the need for social media breaks though.) I've recently "stolen" your combo of Pilot Capless (except bc. of tiny hands I use a Decimo) and DeAtramentis Archive Ink and it's SO GOOD. I wish I'd tried it sooner, pretty sure I found my forever planner pen + ink. 😍 Also your Weeks looks amazing, totally makes me want to hop back into mine even more. Because of Life Stuff™I mostly hadn't touched my planners since the year started and then "accidentally" got back into an A6 bujo, but now I'm looking to switch back to the Hobonichi life for March. I'm excited, but also slightly nervous since the bujo brought my daily journaling consistency back like nothing else. Mostly excited though.
I was very uninspired lately in my journal and normally I try to stay in the notebook as long as it makes ‚sense‘ so at least half a year… But you inspired me to do what my heart desires and that was a spring Hobonichi techo a6… And it Made me very happy
Honestly a lot more people need to hear about how great the A6 day-free is! I impulsively bought one last November without a clear purpose for it, and it has since evolved into a combination of a more conventional diary (i.e., a place to ramble about the events in my daily life, my interests and hobbies) and a mental health/therapy companion where I can journal through some difficult feelings and sometimes mull over my tarot pulls. I also recently switched to using the calendar view monthlies for gratitude entries and the vertical list monthlies for tracking my mood and energy levels. I don’t think you mentioned this in the video - how do you use the monthlies in your day-free? So glad to see you back on YT 🖤
Right now I’m using the monthlies as a gratitude log! And they’re such a fun notebook. I do wish they had a few more pages but I love how it fits in the cover either way the techo so perfectly so I can’t complain
Good to see an update. No shade on the planner hopping from me! I hopped to a Spring start Cousin that I was on the fence about. Then moved from my weeks to the cousin as my planner and journal combined. That took me by surprise. I’ve lasted a month but fully expect to hop back in the weeks for the planning side at some point!
That was my exact setup in januari. hobonichi techo avec+ day free in A6. Cover and all. ☺️ still going strong, but switched cover for fun. 😊 it’s a good system 🥰
For me, having only one system is working great. I use Hobonichi weeks (in fact, the Kinbor version) for planning and the blank pages for commonplacing. And for the dailies, I made my own daily inserts. The two are inside a TN Hobonichi weeks size. It works!!!
I've been using the Hobo Weeks (or Mega) for 4 years now and I haven't found anything that would have as many of the advantages. It's just such a great size and amount of structure/freedom. This year I'm trying the Sterling Ink version for my personal planner (HW for work) and honestly I still think of it as a Weeks 😆 Like my brain never made the switch. 😅 I like it for the white pages and lack of text but otherwise it's pretty much the same. It's the form factor I'll be using probably the rest of my life. 🤷🏼♀️ Nobody makes the same thing in A6 anyway. 🤭
I use to be a planner hopper but i went into the realization its not a very good habut to have hahahah, i just mindset myself into the thinking that planner hopping accumulates to be very costly esp if its dated planners, and thinking thqt i don't have a choice, i bought a new set up and that's it. I just realized that the reason why its now working is because i'm forcing myself to daily journal when i don't really need it and is not for me... so i'm using the a5 hobonichi plain at the moment, and is working very well. I actually miss the quotes in the daily pages... i kinda like reading through them.
@@lindseyscribbles hahaha not judging you, it was a long journey before i got here, deciding is one of the hardest sometimes. Yeah, the quotes in english are really thought provoking. Some of them, i relate to or understand and get inspired, some, I don't understand at all.
Its good to hear from you again. I love seeing how you use any of your planners! I wasn't expecting to see Hobonichi, but it was a very pleasant surprise. ❤ I really like that orange(?) ink in your day free notebook. I think its really nice to see folks using all different color inks. Do you still use your pilot vanishing point in the hobonichi or do you find yourself reaching for other fountain pens now? I wonder how that is with your move? Also, I feel the same! I love flipping back through my journals. There is just something about it. Even if im still in the current month I like to go back and re-read or just look at the pages. ✨ Thanks for sharing!
I’m still only using my pilot vp in my planner - I’ll give it a final ink up before we hit the road. But otherwise I have several (with different ink colors) on rotation for my journal. It feels like a fun space to play around with different colors and nibs! The orange is by Kaweco btw! It’s been a spring favorite for me 🧡
this is my first year using a weeks and I love it, the layout works super well for me. have always been tempted to use rings, but hate the archival process. maybe the dream is a hobonichi weeks in personal size so it fits in the cute Filofax covers
I love your A6 arrangement, Lindsey. I look forward to following along to see if you keep with the two books. I understand about being drawn to the full-year books--I am, too. Can you say what pen/nib size you are using here? Your writing is beautiful.
I’m using the weeks mega as well. I have yet to use the back for dailies though, I might try that from now on. Thank you for the cozy energy, Lindsey! One question, what paper do you use for the little photos? 😊
Thank you! I resize them on Canva.com, but print the out on my printer (epson xp-6100) on kokuyo business paper (it's pretty thin - i get it on amazon)
I was the first year I did this, but I've ended up with extra pages the last few years so fingers crossed! I average 3 dailies per page - but I do closely monitor it. there's always a bit of anxiety lol
Practical question: do you think a full year a6 texho and a day free would be able to fit in the same cover? I have been looking for something similar for myself but would want them to be in the same cover for ease of use.
it wouldn't fit in a standard hobonichi cover. the original hobonichi is quite chunky so even if you find a large enough cover, it might be a bit uncomfortable to write in :)
They can be one and the same I think. For me memory keeping is more focused on logging what happened that day or journaling about things directly related to the day. Journaling is more for my random thoughts floating around in my head
good to see you back lindsey 📓🖤
thanks, Megan!
Glad you’re back! I was so excited to see you had posted when I got into my YT favorites this morning! ❤
Always glad to see you back, even if only sporadically. Your new set-up is lovely and all the best with your upcoming move.
Thank you so much!
I love that you use what you want and there isn’t a problem with it! Good luck with the move! I can’t wait to hear all about it when you come back 🤍
Thanks, Ashley! I always appreciate your support 💕
It's so good to see your planners again! Ofc take your time with video making, I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful planners (whether or not you're still in hobonichi by the next upload :))
Thank you! 💕💕💕
Love your content especially when showing how you use your Hobonichi planners.
Thank you so much!
I am such a supporter of planner-hopping! Needs change and sometimes you need a new layout to feel more creative 😄 Love your vids Lindsey, you inspired me to start my own channel! 💖
Thank you! And I agree, something as simple as switching out a planner can be so refreshing and gets my creative juices flowing 💕
Great to see you back! Always love your videos, no matter what planners you are using...
💕 glad to be back

💕 oh best of luck with your spring start! I think is refreshing to switching things up as the season changes
Honestly a lot more people need to hear about how great the A6 day-free is! I impulsively bought one last November without a clear purpose for it, and it has since evolved into a combination of a more conventional diary (i.e., a place to ramble about the events in my daily life, my interests and hobbies) and a mental health/therapy companion where I can journal through some difficult feelings and sometimes mull over my tarot pulls.

I don’t think you mentioned this in the video - how do you use the monthlies in your day-free? So glad to see you back on YT 🖤
It's amazing as a bullet journal!
Right now I’m using the monthlies as a gratitude log! And they’re such a fun notebook. I do wish they had a few more pages but I love how it fits in the cover either way the techo so perfectly so I can’t complain
These pages are so pretty, lovely to the eyes! I wish my writing was so nice! ❤
Good to see an update. No shade on the planner hopping from me! I hopped to a Spring start Cousin that I was on the fence about. Then moved from my weeks to the cousin as my planner and journal combined. That took me by surprise. I’ve lasted a month but fully expect to hop back in the weeks for the planning side at some point!
There’s something super appealing about having everything in the cousin!
That was my exact setup in januari. hobonichi techo avec+ day free in A6. Cover and all. ☺️ still going strong, but switched cover for fun. 😊 it’s a good system 🥰
Matching! 🧡
For me, having only one system is working great. I use Hobonichi weeks (in fact, the Kinbor version) for planning and the blank pages for commonplacing. And for the dailies, I made my own daily inserts. The two are inside a TN Hobonichi weeks size. It works!!!
I love that you moved into the Weeks while life got busy... I've done the same thing (I move house in two days)!
Hope it went well!
@@lindseyscribblespretty well thanks! Still in the house in complete chaos stage now though 🙈

I definitely need to try a day free!

I actually miss the quotes in the daily pages... i kinda like reading through them.
I’m good at choosing but not deciding it seems. I do love the quotes in the English edition! They’re fun and sometimes super thought provoking
@@lindseyscribbles hahaha not judging you, it was a long journey before i got here, deciding is one of the hardest sometimes. Yeah, the quotes in english are really thought provoking. Some of them, i relate to or understand and get inspired, some, I don't understand at all.

these all look so good ☺☺
You in a weeks is my happy place. 🥰
To one planner hopper to another. I’m in my 5th planner for 2024. 😂
🫶 yessss
this is my first year using a weeks and I love it, the layout works super well for me. have always been tempted to use rings, but hate the archival process. maybe the dream is a hobonichi weeks in personal size so it fits in the cute Filofax covers
I see people cut up their weeks and punch it! I’m a bit too nervous to do so, but always an option. I hope you’re loving your weeks!
@@lindseyscribbles omg maybe I should 3d print a ring adapter for my weeks 😱
One brand you should give a try for a new planner is Burga!
I love your A6 arrangement, Lindsey. I look forward to following along to see if you keep with the two books. I understand about being drawn to the full-year books--I am, too. Can you say what pen/nib size you are using here? Your writing is beautiful.
Thank you! I’m using a pilot vanishing point in fine in the weeks - the journal is more of a mix depending on what pen is inked up!
@@lindseyscribbles Thanks!
I have gone back to bound books too
I wish the day free had a page per day. If it did I would totally buy it for journaling.
That would be amazing!
I’m using the weeks mega as well. I have yet to use the back for dailies though, I might try that from now on. Thank you for the cozy energy, Lindsey! One question, what paper do you use for the little photos? 😊

Love this whole video! What do you use to print your little photos?

@@lindseyscribbles Thank you!
Nice layout and love your penmanship! Aren't you afraid to run out of pages for your bullet journalling/dailies?
I was the first year I did this, but I've ended up with extra pages the last few years so fingers crossed! I average 3 dailies per page - but I do closely monitor it. there's always a bit of anxiety lol

it wouldn't fit in a standard hobonichi cover. the original hobonichi is quite chunky so even if you find a large enough cover, it might be a bit uncomfortable to write in :)
Maybe it would fit into a Hobonichi 5 year journal cover? - Slight memory of someone having said that... 🤔
Wait wait last year for cream paper? 😢 😭 is Hobonichi changing the Weeks to white paper for 2025?
it will still be cream! they're just switching to the new sanzen formula (I would be sad if the color changed too!)
Do you keep all the planners you use though? That’s the only reason I’m really against planner hopping.
Nope, I consolidate towards the end of the year. Usually a couple make the cut
Where did you get the tiny star stickers?? Must have!!
Amazon! I think I searched foil star stickers and found a pack. They’re roughly 1cm across
What's the difference between memory keeping and journaling?
They can be one and the same I think. For me memory keeping is more focused on logging what happened that day or journaling about things directly related to the day. Journaling is more for my random thoughts floating around in my head
Hi I tried to join your Patreon but it says you aren't taking new subscribers right now. When will that open back up?
