New Subscriber watching videos on how to use Since I am waiting on a Hobonichi cousin

Your video if wonderful! Planning system is great. Sleep habits suck but I’m early 40’s and have two wild kiddos lol, I don’t move around much and eat ok-ish. I hope it gets better for you! I’m planning, I’m struggling how to form a functional system before 2025. I have a cousin and weeks version. I wanted the weeks for a main gig to carry around since it’s so convenient and my cousin for more accountability and memory keeping since I need help with that right now lol. I wanted to know where and how I spend my time

I was planning to purchase a take a note A5 again and a hobonichi weeks for 2025 but i decided to try the Jibun techo a5 days. It should work.

I have a lively border collie dog 🐕 he wears me out so I sleep like a log! 😆

Loved looking through your pages!

Another great video - I love listening to you and learning. You’re so creative 🤗

i will truly never get over looking at you monthly spreads. all those dots give me such a serotonin boost 🧡

(Finishing watching this today because yesterday I had to go out…) Oh so you’re using a Take a note!! I’ve been curious about those planners so I’m excited to see how you’ll use it, I’m sure it will turn out pretty😍 I hope you enjoy using it. For 2025, I’m using a few Hobonichi A6 for diary/personal stuff, my daughter’s memory keeping and another one for braindumps. Then I’m using Hobo weeks and personal rings for planning. Still unsure about the personal rings though… cuz I also like pocket rings, so yeah.. a bit confused still 😅

I’m also not loving how quickly it gets dark in UK, I was just thinking yesterday, it’s only 4pm and it’s already dark, in London! Where there is so much lighting!! I am glad to see I am not the only one who bought several covers and notebooks for 2025. In September-October I had planned out everything, which notebook/lander for which area of my life, to focus on growth…. Forward a few months and close to end of year and now in November I am doubting myself and wondering if I am just getting greedy with wanting to use all the different planners and covers and will I be able to keep up with them😮🫣🙄 but I think I just need to go back over my 2025 play list. The last of my planners have arrived now… thank you for sharing the little Hobonichi scissors… now I want to get them to leave in my art doodle journal (I have the same Yumi Kitagishi A6 Travel Journal cover). I have been inspired by Maike to draw my day more. Thank you also for showing your Unsodo Bijutsukai (Ferry) cover, I have it sitting in my wish list still. I am not sure about the yellow - I’m not a “yellow-person” but I imagine it might help to lift my mood. I love the front cover and bought all the pencil boards. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Varsha 🙏🏽

Love the midlands accent - reminds me of home! Love the idea of a photo diary - the size of the boxes in the ours studio seems perfect for it!

I feel like the closer we get to the new year, the less sure I am what my lineup is gonna be for 2025. I am allowing myself to try some things out in November and December. I really want to be more consistent next year so that my memories aren’t scattered over a handful of half finished journals.

Love the bunnies cover. I'm loving my A6 for journalling. Way less overwhelmed than I was with my cousin. I bought the little A6 tear out notebooks so I can tip in an extra page if I write more on the odd day. You could cut pages out of one the free books? I think the bunnies tabs won't hang so low once inside the book? Yumi Kitagishi is my favourite cover rn. Loving my new gingham A6 cover I got off Facebook recently 😘 X

I also feel that way about winter… so hard for me to go out when it’s cold, even if just a little cold I don’t like it. And omg you got an A6 zip 😍 I got the Vacances zip one as well and the back pocket was what ended up making me buy it. It’s such a handy pocket. The whole cover is actually so handy, you can store so much, which is what I’m doing in mine. I will miss my A5 for sure, but I will keep an A5 notebook on the side in case I want to journal more extensively. Sorry this comment is a bit all over the place 😂

love this, dear!

Platinum Carbon Black is waterproof and you can even use alcohol markers with it (let it dry for a day or so first). But be warned - it has tiny particles of carbon in it and if you let it dry out it will kill your pen. I have used it in Twsbi Ecos with no issues as they are so well sealed, but it killed a Lamy. I just wanted to warn you.

I like the fact your video's are not overly edited and you stop in between to attend to your dog its more authentic. I am just filling in my 2025 hobo and listening and watching in between.

Aww, Bruno! 😄 He's okay- it's like being at a friend's house! I'd never seen StickWithThePlanCo stickers before watching your videos. They are so cute. Oh, and I don't think you talk too fast. : )

I just found your channel and I LOVE it!! I’m from the UK too. I am a multiple planner/ journal gal too! And I also buy a lot and end up selling some and then inevitably buying more haha! Also I watched your useful things and I loved that (I also love Miso Paper) I haven’t quite sorted my planner system yet but I want a vent kinda notebook (maybe a traveler’s grid insert so I can pop it inside something else but carry it with me because I’m out and about a lot), I want a health and fitness tracker planner (maybe a weeks to take out and about for symptom tracking/ notes/ maybe the vents but have a Jibun Techo for tracking and goal setting for that (I have a few mental health things going on and fitness goals), I’m going to use the cousin as the daily journal and I really want to get back into language learning (did languages at uni and haven’t used them) so I was thinking of having an Avec with a notebook - I just find the accountability of the daily page helpful or I know weeks will pass without me doing anything. I also want a common place and a hobbies/ media. (I also love the liberty fabrics - I love going to London and walking around Liberty London and seeing the fabrics and I’m also collecting them but in A5!) Anyhoo sorry for the ramble but just wanted to say I relate so much and currently binge back watching your channel in my insomnia hahah!! 💜

I love your journals and your supplies! I have looked high and low for that Tofu Washi organizer. I’m in the U.S., but I order from Miso because she has things I haven’t seen here. She has the TOFU, sold out of the Washi cards. Absent Studio is sold out of the cards, too. No planned restock, which is so disappointing😢

Hello Stephanie. Great video and thanks for sharing your stationery finds. It's nice to come across a fellow enthusiast from the UK :-) I know accessing certain products is a challenge for us because of customs duties etc so I'm grateful for Miso Paper. I'm expecting a parcel from them today! Can I ask what you use to print your photos? Thanks. :-)

That book looks so interesting 💗 I LOVE your book recommendations xx

I dont think you talk too fast, but id love to at least have those auto captions because i have audio processing problems and need some kind of text to understand a bit more

What are the sticker brand in those small hobonichi photo albums thats not Coffe monsters co? I cant hear what you say.

That frog on the hobonichi cover is adorable!

A reference journal! What a great idea!

Just love seeing and hearing about your journals 💖 I think we often have a very similar taste in stationery. I like all of your stickers and decorations so much. And I’m so glad you’re enjoying the cats ☺️💖

Would you do a video on the weeks. You said it will be used as an index.

I love your channel. You inspired me to try OURS and I am trying it next year along with my Cousin AVEC.

Can you link your washi tape storage?? Its amazing!

loved this video so much steph! got a lot of inspiration for some of my systems for the rest of the year and 2025 <3

Ooooh I love the Diary book !! I will be looking for it online in a sec lol 💗

I LOVE the pictures with the date you’ve put on the weekly section of the cousin.💗 such a cool idea, how did you do that, if you don’t mind me asking? LOVE IT!!!! x

Lovely. Got to find your video of where you switch from commonplacing in the full year to hon.

I am a new subscriber and just love your style. Could I ask where that bigger piece of washi is from on the entry of September 2nd? The one with the bear? So cute!!!

So nice ❤

Lovely haul! ✂️☀️

Enjoy your Stappo and covers!

I want to try the black gingham next year 🙂

I don’t think it’s weird that you were put off by the carrot. It’s a very bright orange and personally I think a vegetable feels a bit out of place, especially since it is so attention-grabby with that color. The elephant cover is so sweet! Love all your choices! The stappo is surprisingly small. I had that cover last year and it was also very soft, so it could just be that specific Liberty Fabrics fabric. But I’ve never touched a stappo so can’t say for sure.

Great video - the elephant cover is so darling ✨ TFS & Happy Hobonichi season 📚

I’m in LOVE with your choices for 2025! 😍 I am slightly regretting not getting the snake toy mega and the Hiroko Kubota HON. 🥹 I love your idea of storing that year’s journals in that box as well. I can’t wait to see how you use each of these gorgeous books! 😍

To be fair I woke up around 8 uk time naturally and after making my coffee I calmly ordered and had no problems whatsoever…it crashed a few times but after a few mins it was fine again…and nothing was sold out?!

So I've just watched your haul twice and I'm still undecided on if I should buy anything lol. I've got the A6 Liberty Fabric Hon in my cart and am debating if I need it. It's what I originally wanted and it looks so lovely, but I have no idea how I'll use it lol. Also, I was eyeing that stappo as well and after watching this again, I think I need it in my life. I feel like it would be the perfect size for a little travel art journal kit. Thanks so much for sharing what you ordered! xx

Lovely haul Stephanie! ❤

Love it! Now I’m really wishing I got the stappo, you made it look so appealing showed size reference so well. That’s ok though, I spent over budget anyway! Still waiting on my order, getting my thrills watching unboxing until mine arrives! ❤️

Subscribed to your Channnel loved your unboxing ❤ so happy that ppl get their stuff so early 😊 amazing order

What a great haul! I came here from the Hobonichi users U.K. group. I love your choices. It’s great to see the Yumi weeks closer up - I like it more on your video, being able to see the details and colour more easily than on the website. I got the Yumi A5 cover but was also so drawn to the elephant one! It’s just gorgeous. I’ve ordered a Stappo in bow & tie cafe fabric. You probably find the Liberty fabrics they use so soft and tactile because it’s cotton lawn, or ‘Tana lawn’ as Liberty call theirs. Liberty’s is an extremely fine weave and so soft. It was actually developed in the 1800s for ladies’ dresses as it hangs like silk but is cheaper! I love it and have a collection of hankies made of it (I don’t blow my nose on them but just enjoy the fabric so much - I’m a textiles nerd as well as a paper/stationery/journal lover!). I hope you enjoy all your lovely choices in 2025. Thanks for sharing! 😊

Awesome haul. And I also ordered that A5 cover! And I also got super obsessed with it for some reason like how you described it. I’m not even using an A5 planner this year but I absolutely had to have it. I’ll just use it with a plain notebook. ETA. We must have the same taste because I also loved the cherry weeks and that’s what I got. And I was eyeing that liberty fabrics stappo!

Another video mentioned the pens match the Paddington collection and the color combo make sense now 😊

I loved seeing everything you got! It's so exciting watching everyone get their hobonichi stuff! I'm so happy I found your channel! 🥰
