I love this. And I too started with the Common Planner at the beginning of the year but I realized I missed my hobonichi. I thought I would want the pages undated but for me I need the dated pages. So I picked up the hobonichi Spring and I am now at planner bliss. Back in my fav planner. I hope your year in the hobonichi will go well.

Love the Sterling inks Nn1 & N2 sizes, taking away the quote and the pages going to the edge of the notebook makes such a huge difference in terms of functional space! Using my hobo weeks as more of a checklist/mental health working great. My NI (standard TN) is more of a work focused planner with meeting notes, continuing education notes, etc. never thought a TN would be good for me but it’s perfect

Grid notebooks became my best friends since i figured out how to bujo in them (future log, projects, and before each month : the monthly spread, and all the weeklies fir this month after , and that's it, then whatever i need to write). I might use the printables for the monthlies and weeklies this year, which i might glue inside. It's very convenient, i don't depend on anybody, and i have all the paper i need for the rapid logging and notes, and whatever i need to write.

Cara Rachel, ti seguo dall'italia da un po ' di tempo e voglio dirti che ti adoro. Condivido sempre ogni tua espressione, utilizzando agende e diari da sempre. Devi sapere che ho 55 anni. E che da te imparo sempre e mi confronto. Nonostante l'eterno conflitto dell'agenda unica.....che non è possibile se sei un pianificatore compulsivo, e la pagina già compilata, ritengo i tuoi video sempre riflessivi , ben consapevoli e pieni di spunti. Io da anni utilizzo l'hobbonici a 5 (anche diario), la weeks e un notes b6 (che io chiamo diario spazzatura.....che invece è quello che mi porto dietro per annotare tutto....es. trek, viaggi,note dei libri ecc.= bujo) Quando non mi è possibile portare con me tutto l'armamentario.....quest'anno grazie a te sperimentero' la common planner ma solo per ob. per la cura personale che a oggi, nella mia vita necessitano di uno spazio tutto loro. La tua caratteristica che apprezzo di più è lo sperimentare. Inoltre nei tuoi video parli veloce e non mi addormento e il decoro (che mi piace ma non ho tempo) ha uno spazio relativo......e tutto sto problema per il recupero della memoria e gli spazi vuoti????? Ma chissenefrega! Pianificare è solo un mezzo per essere più consapevoli del presente. Tu mi aiuti in tutto ciò. Ti ringrazio giovane y.t. Apprendo ora che hai un bimbo. Un abbraccio a tutti e due!❤
