I could look through your journal all day every day. Beautiful!

[@lindseyscribbles]

🥰🥰🥰

[@lizasaguin]

and yes, I'm here again watching this ^^

[@kat1008]

Really enjoyed seeing a fresh approach to using the planner’s daily section - freeform is all for me, too, as I seem to always have a dozen different things running through my mind and need to purge them onto paper somewhere for thought organization. I am a longtime rings user because, like you, I don’t go back and read where I was and have preferred to just pitch it and keep a clean start weekly but now my teenagers are starting their senior year and I want to document more of life with them before they leave the nest 😭 and watching your flip has inspired me to use the daily section in a multifaceted way where I am not tied to a specific routine but rather what works for the moment 💛 thank you for walking us through and explaining your approach, so helpful and inspiring! 💛✨

[@kristinabraly]

You have provided so much inspiration for me as I'm setting up my 2021 Hobo! I haven't used one since 2016 🥺🥰

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thank you! And welcome back to team hobo

[@tanyaatmomssmallvictories9687]

I’m new to hobonichi but I really want to try it for 2022. I’ve been using a ring planner this year which I love because everything is in one place (goals, finances, and all the things). The problem is I can only get about a full month of dailies in the rings. I really miss having the whole year in one place. While I love that I can have weeklies and dailies in the hobonichi, You’ve really helped me envision how to use the weekly better, the daily as my journaling and extra mini list spaces. I’ll probably have to tip in some blank finance sections for each month so it will be a chunky planner but I may just get it all in one place!! Thanks so much, very inspiring!

[@sandrapawula4075]

Loved the flip through. I'm using a 2021 Hobonichi Cousin. I appreciate all the ideas and inspiration!

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thanks for watching 💕

[@kiahammond6769]

You are the hobo queen!! I’ve been LOVING my first cousin this year, all thanks to the inspo from you ❤️

[@lindseyscribbles]

😭 TY!

[@mjimenez3187]

Love the ideas, structure and harmonious layouts. No judgement!

[@lindseyscribbles]

💕💕💕

[@butacrafts]

You have and still is the reason I’m on my first Hobonichi Cousin! 🥰 I wish this was a 45 mins video. No complains when it comes to learning all the tips and guides from ya! I’m still struggling a little with how I’m using my vertical weekly pages. I have events or appointments that are time specific. But I quickly find myself unable to stick to the time line because my writing is just too big. It does annoy me that I can’t get the hybrid of planning & memory keeping to work well on the vertical spread. And my indexing is looking boring for now.. it’s just all Dailies 😅 I feel like I still haven’t found a creative way to make it look “used”. I’ll try to use your trick of daily summary - though my daily pages are really just stream of conscious for the most part

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thank you 💕💕💕

[@ethiea_]

I just bought a Cousin for 2021 and the daily pages are a bit of a struggle to use! Thanks for sharing with us your personal diary!

[@lindseyscribbles]

I feel like they take awhile to click. I’m always in a love hate relationship with mine till like March

[@kirbyatwell8664]

Yes! Loving my Hobonichi cousin so far for 2021! Thanks for flipping through and giving inspiration and much needed encouragement. ❤️

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thanks!

[@lizasaguin]

Hi Lindsey! When I saw that you had a TAN planner in one of your IG posts (way back hehe), I immediately thought about this flip through video...hoping to get a TAN (whole year) flip through too :") Thank you for bravely sharing your journals! Always so inspiring~

[@ecr.7695]

I can relate in stickers not reflective of what’s written in the daily pages of the Cousin. I just decorated nearly the whole page with dance stickers even though the subject matter isn’t even dancing 😅. But it looks aesthetically pleasing and since it’s my journal page, who cares except me 😆. Same with not using yw Avec because I love having the whole year in one book, bough it’ll definitely be a chunky one because I keep adding embellishments. Need to use as much of my crafting supplies as the Cousin and Techo are the planners that I decorate in. There is a chance that my reading log/journal will be decorated but we’ll see how that goes. I also have the A6 5-yr planner but that’s all writing. TFS!

[@lindseyscribbles]

Yes! The pages are whatever we need them to be and that’s the magic

[@trishmason16]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in a planner! I love the pen to paper look, very satisfying and has given me so much inspo for using my hobo cousin this year :-D Thank you

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thanks so much 💕

[@alishaalexander3580]

Lindsey, I love your flip through. It is exactly the type of therapy/memory keeper/to-do list/tracker that a Hobonichi is excellent for. Great video!

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thank you 💕💕

[@NancyLiliG]

Yours is so neat and beautiful! I always want mine to look like this... and then I end up filling every page with doodles, stickers, ephemera, haha. Mine is chaotic to flip through. Yours is goals!

[@lindseyscribbles]

💕💕💕 but I love that everyone’s is so unique by the end of the year too!

[@Shirley61581]

Thank you for sharing! This is the third year I’ve used the Hobonichi Mega Weeks & now I’m wanting an Hobonichi Cousin but I suppose I’ve waited too late because I can’t find one anywhere 😢.... until I find one, I’m enjoying your videos!!! You’re an inspiration to me & I truly appreciate the time & effort you put in to share with all of us!!!

[@starbucksmocha88]

Haha I'm having the opposite problem! I got my 2021 Cousin back in September and I'm loving it, but I recently got an idea for how I could use a Mega Weeks and now I can't find one ANYWHERE 😂. Looks like I'll have to wait til next year the add a Weeks to my planner stack. I feel lucky I heard about Hobonichi in time to get the Cousin though!

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thanks for watching! I’m finding myself loving my weeks mega more and more 🙈 if all else fails I think the spring editions release soon if my memory serves!

[@elliescorner2019]

This was so satisfying to watch! Your spreads are so consistent and beautiful. I’m in my first Cousin (Avec) this year and you’ve been a huge inspiration. 💛 I’m still playing around and figuring out my style in it, and having a ton of fun while doing so.

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thanks Ellie, I’m excited to follow along with your cousin the year!

[@sulmapalma8780]

Love your Naruto images!!!!!!! 😍😍😍 your spreads are so satisfying to watch. Thanks for sharing! ♥️

[@lindseyscribbles]

I have a naruto fanfic problem 🤣

[@RedLikeMii]

Your 2020 cousin inspired me so much!

[@lindseyscribbles]

💕💕

[@DanielleWasHeree]

thank you for sharing! don't worry, I didn't read any dailies haha. aaaaand now I'm thinking about getting a cousin for next year already lol I always love your content :)

[@lindseyscribbles]

😂 I’ve already been thinking about my 2022 planner so you’re not alone

[@LisaValentine1]

Exquisite. A personality in a book itself if I’ve ever seen one.

[@deborahsmith3963]

I’m using a Cousin this year and I am loving the weekly and the daily pages combined, so easy to do everything in one place. Also, did I see a Georgia vote sticker? I ask because I live in Georgia 🙂

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thanks for watching and yes!

[@figuringitout300]

I've been considering purchasing one but the thin pages has me concerned. They look pretty delicate and easy to accidently rip and/or ink bleed through. Anyway, thank you for being brave to share your perfectly imperfect 2020 Hobonichi.

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thanks for watching 💕

[@starbucksmocha88]

I just have to chime in and say there's no reason to worry with the paper! It looks thin but boy is it strong (you can pull washi off and it won't tear) and NOTHING I've tried has bled through! You can even PAINT on it! It's totally amazing! I had wondered about the paper but I'm sooooo glad I got a Cousin this year because the paper is actually my favorite part of the planner! Tombow markers look beautiful on it (the colours way nicer than on regular paper!) and you can blend them over and over and the paper won't pill. The ink sorta sits on top & then dries so it also makes fountain pen ink show off its sheen beautifully too! Truly amazing I'm already looking for notebooks and notepads with the Tomoe River paper I love it that much! TL DR: Don't let the paper being thin stop you, it's amazingly strong and bleed resistant paper that's very fun to use!

[@starbucksmocha88]

I thought I'd left a comment on here already but I think I forgot, oops! What I wanted to say was THANK YOU so much for sharing your Cousin so openly Lindsey! It is amazing to be able to see ideas for how to use the pages, and I love seeing all the cute character stickers (and you've got me wanting to place an order with Happy DAYA for the first time, those stickers are adorable!!!). I'm continuing to LOVE using my own Cousin and my lettering is improving with getting so much practice. Looking forward to whatever videos you post in 2021 👍💖 PS- I had cast this video to our TV, and my Mom wanted to join me lol it's amazing, you've even gotten her (a very non-planner person) interested in planning 😂👏

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thanks as alway! I’m glad you’re loving your planner so far this year 💕💕

[@cerealnana]

Your planner is so neat!

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thanks!

[@brandybeam5683]

I'm using a cousin this year for the first time. I love the weekly layouts but struggle with the daily pages. I am left handed the smudge struggle is real. Going to make a real effort to start journaling on the daily pages though. I love your videos

[@lindseyscribbles]

Thanks for watching! The weeklies are pretty much amazing. But the dailies are even a struggle for me this year until one day they sort of clicked

[@meghanjackson7494]

I’m a lefty who smears absolutely everything! I’ve been using a Jetstream 0.38 refill in a Sarasa Grand body on my daily pages and a Jetstream Edge 0.28 on my weekly pages. I think I’ve only had one or two very minor smears in my Hobonichi all month, and I fill those daily pages every day with rapid journaling. I’m not careful with these pens at all - no paper under my hand, waiting for ink to dry or anything. Even though I love the look and feel of other pens, the Jetstreams have been a wonderful find for me for worry-free writing. 💛

[@brandybeam5683]

@@meghanjackson7494 I bought a jetstream too as well. Sarasa dry does ok by me too as long as I'm not writing fast

[@Shirley61581]

I just watched this video for the 2nd time & saw your GA voter stickers... I’m a GA voter too - I’m in Columbus, GA - 🤗

[@marinyhus4573]

You are so brave for putting this out there and my 2022 Hobonichi Cousin thanks you

[@AJay-cm4cq]

Hey! Such a great video! Can i ask what pens you use on your hobonichi cousin? Love the feel

[@Craftyfan-ht2iz]

Yep I was a moron and didn’t use hobonichi the last couple of years. I did the new undated one and mega but not same as cousin. Next year cousin for sure.

[@lindseyscribbles]

I’ve always wanted to try the day free but I feel like I need the pressure of a dated planner 😅

[@becwrites]

Thanks so much for sharing! Given me some ideas!

[@lindseyscribbles]

💕💕

[@daydreamsdandelions3]

Id love to see in detail the trackers you had at the beginning months in the left margain please. I'm looking to try something like that

[@susanbeckett9347]

Beautiful pages.

[@lindseyscribbles]

💕💕

[@krdz12]

Love it! What do you use to print pictures?

[@lindseyscribbles]

Polaroid zip! Print quality isn’t great but it’s quick and easy

[@mizkayzee]

Absolutely beautiful ❤️ thanks for sharing and inspiring me. I'm moving from my weeks to a cousin since I write so much. Any advice.

[@lindseyscribbles]

I think most people get intimidate by the page size / number of pages. But I’m ever surprised at how much I will write as long as I make time to put pen to paper!

[@sanagaribaldi3794]

Thank you for sharing!!

[@Chizelle]

I love your videos! Can you tell me - do you preplan in both your Hobonichi Weeks and the Cousin? And if you do does it feel like you're doubling up? Or are there differences?

[@lindseyscribbles]

They’re pretty much duplicates but the layouts help me approach everything a bit differently. The weeks is filled in “live” so as things come in so it’s a great landing page for everything that week. The timed vertical on the cousin gives me a chance to come up with a game plan on when I want to tackle things and see my timed schedule along side it.

[@Chizelle]

@@lindseyscribbles thanks - I'm using both this year and find I'm duplicating a lot too so I thought I'd ask how others are using theirs

[@MooncakePanda]

Lovely!

Hi! Your planner is really cute and I love the HObonichi cousin - PLEASE don’t steal people’s art! If you’ve found some fanart, pictures, or art that you love, PLEASE BUY it from the artist! That person put a lot of work and hours into creating art and there’s a real problem in and outside of the industry of people stealing art for whatever reason. Thanks!

[@lindseyscribbles]

This is such a great point! And something I’ve almost completely changed in my 2021 planner. Almost all my art is actually from Patreon subscriptions or drawn myself. But earlier in 2019/2020 it wasn’t something I had put enough effort into.

[@janicehanson3263]

Can you do a video on your tracker?❤️🙏🏻

[@lindseyscribbles]

Assuming it actually set it up yes! 😂 I haven’t touched it and it’s already the 24th 🙈

[@tia119]

Does the A5 Hobonichi still use the 4mm grid?

[@lindseyscribbles]

I think so! It’s still slightly bigger than the weeks / a6 Hobonichi

[@goofydumbgoofyhobtch2765]

Do they do more than 1 release a year?

[@lindseyscribbles]

They do a spring release for April start planners. I think in March but not sure?

[@goofydumbgoofyhobtch2765]

@@lindseyscribbles Thanks so much, love your channel!

[@starbucksmocha88]

@@goofydumbgoofyhobtch2765 I was also looking for this info and I found they do some April start planners and release them Feb 1st. You can find the info on the official Hobonichi website :)
