You have inspired me to purchase my very first hobonichi cousin- I am so excited! I love that you use it as an all in one planner- I want to use it for planning as well as memory keeping. I might also get a weeks to carry with me and keep track of my toddler's schedule, activities and milestones. Thanks for this video, I will watch your other videos as well xoxo
An idea for your 5 year journal - if you don't need this second blank page on every spread and have enough patience, you can make a ten (a least nine) year journal out of this book - there would be enough space for it XD
2021 will be my first year. I purchased a cousin to carry with me. It's for ensuring I don't double book big stuff, plus I'll use it for grocery lists etc. I'm looking to get a cover that can work as a wallet as well. I also purchased a cousing that will stay at home. The weekly in that will have the fine details, and the daily for journalling. I appreciate these videos as it helps me fine tune my plans.
i like using fountain pen ink which is a bit thinner than regular ink so it bleeds easy even on paper like rhodia. this is the only video i have seen that mentions the pencil board. thanks!
I was decorating my Cousin and Mega Weeks 2021 as I was watching this. I am a student and I use the Mega Weeks as an academic planner. I wholeheartedly recommend it for this person. It is getting me through my Masters! 😆
I’ve been in the planner community for years, but have been resisting the Hobos! Mainly because I’ve been entirely content with using my massive amounts of Field Notes notebooks for my pocket sized bullet journal system. But this year, one thing lead to another and I got my first A6 notebook and am loving the size! So then I just had to get the Hobo original avec. And because of your awesome videos, I am adding in a Weeks for 2021. I’ve been a memory keeper for 30+ years and I love being able to combine the two worlds (three worlds if I include my art)! Thank you for the great videos!! I’m a new subscriber and a new follower on your IG! :D
Hi Lindsey! I will be using the Weeks Mega, the Cousin full year and maybe a techo, too. But I am going to add the 5 year journal. I didn't know they had one and I really like using one. I only started using them (techo & mega weeks,) about half way through this year and just adore them. Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed it!
@@ssd1453 The weeks mega is going yo be my everyday carry, I track my finances and personal activities, the Cousin will be for work, I like to keep them separate and leave it at work most of the time. And I'm trying n g to track a new exercise program I'm doing so that will stay at home, but still be used daily. And I just think 5 year journals are cool for a one line per day all in one place. Might seem complicated, but I see a lot of people planning in multiple journals. And honestly, it feeds my love of stationery, journals, pens & paper, and stickers of course! LOL 😁
@@jenniferhopkins5694 thanks my only concern is whether the cousin would be too bulky as a planner. Maybe the weeks or techo can be my planner? I don't know I am clearly still very confused LOL!!
@@ssd1453 Well, I am selecting the Cousin (full year) because of the notes I frequently have to take. With the multiple calendar options I can look at the month view for future planning (high level, not detailed), I can note recurring meetings on the weeklies and then I have the dailies for my day-to-day notes. Also, I would likely not decorate the Cousin the way I will the Weeks, and unless I have to do a weekend work day at home, it will likely not travel back and forth with me. Make more sense?
Great video Lindsey! Since I've been learning all about Hobonichi products for the last few months I already knew some of this, but I hadn't seen the 5 year (or the stencil lol I gotta get a stencil now!). Also it's great to have a 10m video that I can share with my friend as I try to introduce her to planners :) nice to have a quick explanation of the various Hobonichis for people new to them! Thanks :)
I have used a hobo weeks for a couple years now and I already bought my 2021. But, I really would love to try the cousin as a planner and journal. Thanks for going through these options!
I think it depends on how on the go you’d want it I think! The cousin full year is manageable if you do a back pack, but if you like using a lot of stickers it will get a bit heavy by the end of the year! I’m just a bit all in one place crazy so I prefer the full year
I LOVE your planner style, I had a Cousin Avec and sold the 2nd half of it because I just couldn't make it work. But you make it look so nice with your consistently neat handwriting. New subbie here :D
Thanks for your video @lindseyscribbles. I'm new to the Hobonichi. I'm using a weeks for medical appointments and cousin for church sermon. I was considering using a 2021 for work, personal, and school. I'm currently in A5 rings. Do you think that could work? I have sections for tracking meals, habits, and cleaning. I like the idea of minimal expense, but not sure if it can meet all those needs.
I think it depends on how much you like to keep like information together. I found that the cousin could hold everything no problem, but I still use a pocket ring planner because some information I prefer to be able to re organize and take out as needed etc!
The 5 year journal cover is from hoboncihi directly! I think it’s called their natural cover. My clear cover is a midori a6 / midori a5 and I found mine on amazon!
I used Mega Weeks this year - got an A6 Original, a weekly supplement, a regular weeks, and an A6 5 years for 2021. Maybe I'll get a day free for work? Or should I go for a cousin? 😂
I have the 5 year, which I started this year, and I use both pages for my entry. I wonder if I'll find that to be annoying to read someday in future? I have a mega weeks that I kind of abandoned mid-year, not sure why but probably because I need more space to write things down, and I felt pressure to decorate and make the pages look cute rather than focusing on functionality.

I love your spreads! Simple and functional but cute!

how do you plan to use these 3? I am intrigued. xoxo

Thank you for sharing Lindsey! This helped me to really compare between the H. Weeks vs. the H. Original 😊👍🏻

I love my Weeks Mega - I always wish it was slightly bigger, but I chose it because it is the perfect size for an EDC.
SUPER OBSESSED on how you plan in all of the Hobonichi planners!!! -planwithlienn
Thanks Lien!
So very welcome!!!
Excuse me while I freak out bc I didn’t know you had a channel... binge starting in 3 , 2 ...
🙈🙈🙈 thanks for watching 🥰
Oh man if I had known about planners in college! But then again I probably wouldn’t have finished, too busy playing with all the things :D
😂 I experienced it first hand - slightly dangerous but still necessary for my leaking brain
Thank you for this excellent, clear and informative video 💕
love how you use your cousin ... debating whether to get the avec or just the cousin itself.
I think it depends on how on the go you’d want it I think! The cousin full year is manageable if you do a back pack, but if you like using a lot of stickers it will get a bit heavy by the end of the year! I’m just a bit all in one place crazy so I prefer the full year
I will be using for the first time ever a Hobo A5 Cousin and a Mega Weeks. Let see how it goes.
Best of luck! I hope you end up loving them.
me too xoxo

I'm using a hobonichi cousin and a weeks for 2021
I ordered my Hobonichi Cousin Avec for 2021 and I have the Weeks too. Great video, thanks for sharing, Lindsey!
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos! 💕 Thank you for sharing! Used a HOBONICHI cousin for 2020 and fell in love. Going to try the B6 for 2021..
I do so love my hobonichi a

@@lindseyscribbles Thanks for you reply! Where in your cousin do you suggest I capture meals and household items, on the day?
Thank-You!
Hi Lindsey! Do you mind sharing which pen you use on your Hobonichi planners? Thanks for the lovely video :)
I pretty much only use a Uni jetstream ball point pen in 0.7!
@@lindseyscribbles noted 👌🏻 thanks for sharing ☺️
Thank you for sharing your favorite Hobonichi items. I just want to ask which cover is the one for your 5-year planner? Thanks!
Also, where did buy and what is it called the plastic cover you have for all your books? Thanks!
The 5 year journal cover is from hoboncihi directly! I think it’s called their natural cover. My clear cover is a midori a6 / midori a5 and I found mine on amazon!
Hi ethere! Beautiful!!!!! I'll start my first Hobonichi in January. What pens do you use on it? Thanks!
I used Mega Weeks this year - got an A6 Original, a weekly supplement, a regular weeks, and an A6 5 years for 2021. Maybe I'll get a day free for work? Or should I go for a cousin? 😂
The day free always intrigues me 🙈
Don't use a Hobonichi but I'm here to support my girl Lindsey 🙌🏻😘
🥺🥰
I have the 5 year, which I started this year, and I use both pages for my entry. I wonder if I'll find that to be annoying to read someday in future? I have a mega weeks that I kind of abandoned mid-year, not sure why but probably because I need more space to write things down, and I felt pressure to decorate and make the pages look cute rather than focusing on functionality.
The weeks are always tricky for me too 😅
Going to purchase a 2021 cousin, and I really like the black tabs you have on yours, is there a special place you got them from?
These are just post it brand that I covered with black washi tape!
@@lindseyscribbles awesome!!!! Love it! Thanks!
Where did you buy the clear cover for the a6 hobonichi?
It’s a midori a6 clear cover from amazon
Thank you!
Great video ! What is your favorite pen ?
Hi Lindsey! I was wondering, what photo printer do you use for your planners?
I use a Polaroid zip!
Hello,i wanna ask about the pencil board,do you have some tips to fix it in case the pencil board got warped or bent??
What is the band you close the weeks with?
Where did you get the cover for the A6
I want to know this too!
It’s a Midori a6 clear cover! I picked mine up on amazon
screaming bec i saw the naruto fanart,,, *subscribes immediately*
