♥ Frequently Asked Questions ♥
Q: Do you plan before, during, or after the week?
A: It varies from video to video, but typically I plan 2-3 times during the week and stitch the clips together. I rarely plan the entire week in advance or the entire week retroactively.
Q: Do you use all of these planners?
A: Yes and no. Every week, there is something in my life that takes priority over the others whether it be school, work, or something personal. Depending on the week, I select a few planners that will help me achieve my tasks! So not every planner is used every week.
Q: How do you get so much done in a day?
A: If you watch any of my journaling vlogs, you’ll realize that I have very poor sleeping habits and so naturally I’m able to fit more things into the day. It’s something I’m trying to fix but admittedly this is the only reason.

[@alexise5376]

I don't need a weeks... I don't need a weeks... I don't need a weeks... I might buy a weeks...

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Bahaha I caved XD

[@CozyHaru]

I caved too xD

[@BrandiJanei]

😂😂😂😂 that’s what I said about the Cousin and now I have both. Smh

[@EllePlowPlow]

😂😂😂

[@EllePlowPlow]

Buy it!! Get it!!! Get it!!

[@BubbleBunnyy]

You don’t need to have to feel bad for showing something nice a dear friend gifted you. She gave it to you to enjoy so you shouldn’t feel bad at all. 💗

[@xxxcxxx2253]

You can always put "prone to scratches" or "may arrive with scratches due to the nature of the material" on the acetate description for buyers who don't follow your KZbin to know

[@brookewilt654]

I'm sooo jelly of the unlimited amount of emotis you have LOL

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Hahaha definitely a perk XD

[@claratse3792]

I love the acetate! I think the "scratches" give it a little bit of character and show that it's been used and loved! The biome stickers are so amazing!!! I think i want to try and mark the seasons in my cousin!

[@bethhall8680]

I love it!!! Its not underwhelming at all! It's beautiful and very you. Also, don't worry about showing the cover, it's lovely and you don't need to explain your self for it. I understand why you have but please don't feel like you have to. Love your videos and content, so inspiring ✨️ ❤️

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much Beth

[@2BRnot2BRipper]

Oh my little Helen, you gave me such a chuckle when you went “Eeeww” at the little speck of something on your tab! Hahaha…so so you! 😘🥰

[@nezzydoodles]

that is definitely mina perhonen wallet for hobonichi weeks. it's definitely expensive and difficult to get since you have to enter the lottery. your friend loves you so much to have given you this as a gift ☺️

[@mindimeeks4756]

Loving all the sneaks! Can't wait til the shop opens 😁😁😁 P.S. I hope you continue to use all your beloved supplies to your heart's content and without guilt. You deserve it.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Hehe thank you Mindi!

[@Nosebeauty8]

Helen you are too funny. 😂 I couldn’t stop being drawn to your “dry crusty nails! “ I absolutely love that you don’t take yourself too seriously. So glad the shop is reopening soon. And my order is on the way! Just in time for me to order more. ❤

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

LOL I was seriously repulsed when editing XD Thank youuuu

[@garfunkel555]

omg i got so excited when i saw we got the same weeks cover design 😤🤝

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Omg yes yes yes! It's the cutest~

[@OceaniaOrchid]

I love this setup so much! It is so adorable and the tabs add such character. That cover is beautiful and I hope you have so much joy using it this year!!

[@runninwolves]

i always love watching your videos. they are honestly really soothing and with finals approaching for me, they're the highlights of my week. i got the one piece weeks and a6 to use for 2023 and i've already started using them cause i had no patience >.< hope all is well and ur taking care of yourself

[@amandamendez2875]

OMG!! I’m so stoked for the shop to open up soon!! These are too cute!!! I’m loving this weeks setup and I seriously can’t wait to get all the goodies for my weeks and more to add to my cousin!!!🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@taminalock7957]

It's so satisfying to see all the tabs together! I love how bright and cheerful the colors are. I'm looking forward to getting your notes header stickers and trackers. I would love a yoga tracker of some sort. I love your wallet setup! Your Weeks cover and the wallet's color really go well together. I already moved into my 2023 planner because I couldn't wait, and I could test out some ideas before January. Thank you for sharing your setup!

[@triciat8009]

I am so glad that you have a beautiful cover to use!! Enjoy it! I bought a nice cover from Hobonichi 4 years ago when I bought the 5 year journal and it has been a joy to use and I've been thankful for it every.single.day. I know you will be, too. I'm glad you are using it!! BTW, I've seen some people that still put a clear cover over their weeks so it won't get stained if you are using it outside of the pretty cover. And the fancy zipper!! I am SO glad that I got an Advent calendar... that item alone makes it worth it!! Love, love, love!!

[@jackjackisaregoboom]

Oh my gosh that is so adorable! I can't wait for the shop reopen for all the new goodies. Take care of yourself Helen!

[@jenniferwhitaker1862]

This is soooo lovely! and yes, more acetate if you're up for it! Everything in your shop is LOVELY. Thank you so much for your channel, and for all of the inspiration!

[@marzettik]

The planner is super cute and colourful! I love it. I hope you enjoy using it in the new year.

[@amyjones8613]

That hobonichi weeks pouch is so beautiful 😍 What a great friend you have 🥰 I really hope you get a good use out of it!

[@kenzielogic9405]

I just got my first Weeks yesterday, so this is perfect timing. I didn't realize you sell kits in the Weeks size so I'll be hitting up your shop ASAP (once I'm done with Christmas shopping for the family. LOL) I love the idea of how you did the little sections in the back, it gave me some great inspiration. Thank you!

[@WahjoeGunawan]

The cover is beautiful.

[@minahilsahir2730]

Oh My... I think i want a Hobonichi Weeks now🌼❤️😇loved everything you used and did♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@liasleep]

I love your voice so much up calming and relaxing literally fell asleep for an hour or so bc of it 😂

[@sandrapawula4109]

This set up is so adorable. Can't wait to see how you use this planner throughout the year.

[@k-lingon-berry]

Another calm video and very cute setup. I hope you can use your beautiful cover pouch without guilt going forward. It's very nice that you acknowledge how expensive name brand planner items can be, but ultimately it really is your private business how you afford something (or that it was a gift).

[@ktanikawa3020]

18:10 OMG! I can’t believe this! So so happy I could cry!!😭😭✨

[@EyeLuvMakeup271]

Great video and ad of all your items

[@simmile100]

Now I want all of those things for my journal! Love it Helen.

[@melissasnyder5268]

Yes please add some of the acetate to the store….

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Absolutely!!!

[@kat1008]

Such a pretty colorful setup! But I have to echo so, so many fellow taterheads on here by saying life is fun, meant to be enjoyed, and you don’t always have to have things everyone can copy - it’s so sweet of you to think of others before yourself♥️You are truly the NICEST, KINDEST person ❤ Love you and your TALENT is chef’s 💋 kiss perfection 😊

[@anna7276]

The reading journal stickers! Omg!!! My heaven!! Can’t wait to order these!

[@HouseOfPagesAndPaints]

This is so cute❤ I am also adding a reading journal with my weeks and I use my weeks specifically for fitness! Cute! I love the trackers!

[@planwithkellye2926]

Love the colors!!

[@michelleeagle595]

I love your videos need to order ❤

[@MandyInMelbs]

Ohhhhh Helen, I want all the things 🤗. This whole set up is adorable with all the bright colours OMG I love it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheSkinAudit]

I can’t wait until your shop is open again. You’re on the top of my Christmas wish list

[@catybee7178]

Beautiful! I love your setup ❤

[@lisaj3556]

Hi Helen, thank you for your setup! I’m trying to figure out my own and this was super helpful ☺️ For the marker color, it’s pronounced Blue Bon Net, like a bonnet for your hair. It’s a beautiful flower that only appears for a short time in spring here in Texas. It’s our state flower 💕 For us, it signifies winter is over and spring has arrived. 💐

[@diaryofasadblackgirl]

I love this so much! I have the same weeks, I'm using a clear cover. this was so so cool I love how you set yours up and I can't wait til you reopen to get those notes sheets and lots of other stuff haha

[@CreatingWonderland]

I was gifted a Hobonichi weeks in October. I’m planning to use it for health/fitness. This was super helpful! Thank you for sharing. So excited for all my orders from the shop reopen!!! ❤

[@lntan]

[@charissasplans]

I got a weeks for this year to add with my cousin, so this video was so helpful!! I would absolutely LOVE some more acetate even if there’s some scratches. I’m so excited for the shop to reopen, so I’ll be stalking tomorrow ♥️😘

[@dameankimberly6634]

I just wanted to say, I'm absent mindedly listening in to youtube while searching the web. But I decided to subscribe, and thing some of your methods may help my funk with "journaling" I really enjoyed the way you broke down your page setup.. I can't wait to see what other tips you've got.

[@budgetworks9822]

Love this setup and really telling myself that I don’t need a weeks. So so so tempting 💗

[@VincciWincci]

Thanks for sharing your setup and giving us a sneak peek of the new stickers! I love how your tabs match the cover :)

[@SYRSALLY]

I’m a new subbie. I love all of your stuff and yes…I love the acetate

[@Pinkybellesplans]

i love these videos, and am always inspired by how you set up your planners .... I would love more vellum and acetate!!! It just adds that perfect decoration thats not too much

[@NoaTugy]

I'm really obsessed with your channel today💖 I got my weeks dupe a few days ago so I'm looking for inspiration haha

[@JT1358]

So so pretty - I love that desserts cover. It wouldn't work for me but lovely to see. Thank you!

[@catcy90]

HAHAHA!! I literally had just ordered a Weeks for my run around planner and your video popped up. You did such a great job on the set up! Super cute! Thanks for all the ideas.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Hehehe thank you so much Cathey! I can't wait to dive into this planner~

[@anitabudgets131]

Omg. That is beautiful. I love all those great ideas. So many new stickers 🤗

[@carmendlugo1585]

It turned out fantastic 🤩 The tab colors match the colors on the cover so well. Now Helen have a great year✨ ❤️

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Carmen!!

[@stareenafraser]

Just came from IG, love this set up, the colours are so happy :) and yes you deserve to enjoy nice things especially if it was a gift, I'm sure your friend is so happy to see you use it :)

[@deekilroy1746]

This setup is cute and functional!

[@lcelis2298]

Yes! More acetate! 😊 I can’t wait for your shop to open.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much!!!

[@annelyle5474]

Gorgeous - can't wait for my kits to arrive so I can finish my setup through to June! BTW, anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to the Hobonichi pouches might want to take a look at the Filofax Saffiano Compact Zip Organiser - it's very similar inside, though with a plain exterior, and the perfect size for a Weeks!

[@heyjasplans]

LOL the “have mercy” part when the sticker stuck you’re so funny 😂

[@darlenewashington9570]

Your planner is really cute. Normally I like neutrals but I love your tabs.

[@krisscott6746]

❤ gorgeous as always! I’m so excited for your shop to open so I can finish setting mine up 😊😂

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much Kris!!! I will see you soon!

[@JMSlayter]

I am totally going to use that year at a glance layout!!!

[@lynnclemons5864]

So cute!!I really have to get some of your stuff!!!

[@anya425]

Very lovely. Love your videos and stickers.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Anya!

[@gwenmp29]

I love the biome vinyls, I'm gonna need to get those. And I might copy the vellum and acetate idea for the covers :D. I just got my hobonichi order not too long ago and I can't wait to set it up. You got me buying a hobonichi cousin. It's the first time I'm gonna use one as a planner. I used an A6 for this year for my animal crossing journaling LOL. Because I could only afford the A6 animal crossing cover. I'm gonna rewatch the hobonichi cousin video again, closer to when I set my planners up :D.

[@BrandiJanei]

I have that same Hobo Weeks. It’s so cute!

[@tabatalarenas9163]

I don’t need a weeks… I already know how to use my cousin… but this is so cute !!! I may buy one in 2024 if i found your approach appealing ❤ anxiously waiting for the re-opening ❤

[@plannersparkle8352]

This year is my third year for weeks ! Mainly I use it for health purposes. But I try to decorate it and prettier like you do ! ❤thank you for your inspiration 😊

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Wishing you a year of great health!

[@takinaenae]

the tabs fit the colors of the desserts design perfectly!! it's so cute 🥹🥹

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Riri! Right?! So happy I went with this colourful set!

[@belindaprescott4753]

I am so glad that I have not set up my wellness hobo weeks yet….. I will be rewatching this to set mine up after I order all the new stickers 💕🎀

[@janleedixon7988]

I would recommend scotchguarding your weeks zipped cover to protect it from dirt etc

[@alejandragomez499]

I would love acetate!!!! It's ok if it's a bit scratched, it looked so adorable!

[@christineellis3688]

a pocket!! That was soooo smart! I am doing this! lol

[@pimprunelle1]

Hi You !!! I love your channel (!) ... ♥️ Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@travelnewbie]

Helen! I love the setup (feeling very inspired now :D)

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Lisa! I'm SOO excited to see your setup!

[@leonaishere]

Hello from Malaysia 😊 I'm too broke to support your beautiful artworks, but I'm going to shadow (copycat) your planning style in 2023! Thanks for the inspirations and let's keep going 💖

[@Jesus.Coffee.Planning]

Yay! Helen your using a Hobo weeks! I will be using one too! Excited to see how you use it. 🙋🏻‍♀️ 😊

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Omg yayay I'm excited too!

[@StampedAF]

Yes, yes, yes to acetate!!

[@sophiaisabelle0227]

We hope to see you succeed further. May God bless you.

[@savingswith_uncafecito]

I got the same Weeks. But now I’m a little mad at my self that I got the neutral tabs instead of the tropical ones because they match so perfectly. Thanks for the set up it gives me ideas for what to do with those extra pages since it’s my first time with a Weeks.

[@tatianavelasco1335]

The Monthly Tabs are so cute and colorful.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you!!!

[@Angel6_]

Loved this setup! I would love more acetate designs!!! 🤩🤩

[@katiavoncioni182]

I always start the tabs from December to January, it's much easier to measure the next one. Just a tip for the next setup if you want to give it a chance haha

[@einstein87]

Omg been waiting for that cherry blossom vellum to make a come back.. please Helen make it true!

[@metapixusion]

Yes please more acetate. I don’t mind the scratches

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Will do!!

[@QueensNative]

You should use and do what makes you happy! Not everything you share has to be available to people… 😊 sometimes it is what it is… we love watching anyway!❤thanks for sharing ❤

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so so much

[@a_dyslexic_planner]

Yes PLEASE more acetate!!! We will accept it in any condition 🥰🥰🥰

[@anidemjess5875]

ooh I'd like to buy that acetate I will take a look now x

[@SylviaNguyen]

Helen, bluebonnet is a type of flower. Like a bonnet (head covering) that is blue. Pronounced like "bon-it".

[@wendyhoward2699]

I love this video! I want a cousin really bad. Blessings.

[@xantacaldwell3693]

Omg I would love love love more acetate!!! It is beautiful and would kill to get my hands on it so please make some!!! Love the setup too!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much Xanta!!!

[@mimisspace9232]

Haven’t finish watching but everything looks beautiful !! Take care Helen, love from Montreal . P.S Impatiently waiting for your shop reopening, got my first Hobonichi cousin for my b-day and want to decorate and organizing it with your stickers !

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much Mimi!!!! I'm glad you're excited!

[@katsmith8263]

I'm thinking about the Kinbor Weeks, which is the Hobo weeks dupe for the fraction of the cost

[@katm1100]

i love the french twist on bluebonnet!! haha ("bonnet" here is usually pronounced like the hat)

[@Jaime_plans]

Yes to acetate!

[@what.a.journee]

OMG I need the emoti heads on the clear sticker paper I’ve been wanting that forever. Please release when you reopen

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Yesssss it's releasing when we reopen!!

[@Timkerki]

16:51 a bluebonnet is a blue flower! It is pronounced "bloouu-bohnnet" basically *blue bon-net* (pronounce the “t”) 💙

[@hellogoodbye9086]

yes!! more acetate please

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Will do will dooo~

[@cestmackenzie]

I set up three different sets of monthly tabs last week. 🥵 Your tabs make it so easy though! I looove those biome vinyls, as well as the vellum and acetate. I would totally buy some sheets if you brought either back! Also, your French is coming through with "bluebonnet", lol. It's pronounced blue-bonn-et but I like the French twist more. 😂 It's my state's (Texas) official flower!

[@EllePlowPlow]

Nice! I’m a multi planner person too. What planners did you put your tabs on? And what do you use each planner for?

[@sueann5324]

I hope you will carry some more acetate. Would also love for you to make the cherry blossom into a digital download!!!

[@ecr.7695]

I would love more acetate sheets, please. And if there's some scratches, it really doesn't matter to me. But for those who may, just give a disclaimer at the product details/information about it. Or give an option with "misfit" (to denote the scratches) or regular (for the rest). Just a suggestion that could help with future acetate products. As for the rest of the video, I adore it. TFS, Helen 💛!
