2023 Planner Set Up | Hobonichi Weeks 2023 | One Pen Functional Minimalist Planning

[@hippiemommie]

This is a lovely breathe of fresh air! One pen, no stickers, no art, just pure function. Love it!

[@thelostteacup]

Thank you! I really like to keep it simple, it makes it more likely I'll keep using the planner every day :).

I find pen-only spreads very calming. Colour-coding is too distracting for me so lots of decor is a no-no as well! Love it. Hope it works for you.

[@thelostteacup]

Yeah, I like the simplicity for daily use. Some of the elaborate decorating I've seen on other channels is really esthetically pleasing, but I need to be able to put information in and find it again quickly and easily, so one pen is the way for me! Glad you liked it :)

[@loiscassels8966]

I love the name of your channel. ❤️🇨🇦

[@GloriaHasberry]

I really like your intentional rules for inclusion in the planner! Thanks for sharing your system!

[@ahkachuck]

I have been watching a lot of these. Haven’t used a planner book for years - use the Apple calendar app and print out weeks in list format. But the planner is too heavy, so I decided to use Hobonichi weeks to go everywhere with me. Your video presented the clearest, easiest, yet functional way of using this planner. Thank you so much!!!!

[@thelostteacup]

What a wonderful compliment, thank you. I hope you enjoy the Hobonichi Weeks next year!

I love your setup! One pen only, and it's just pen on paper. No stickers, washis or any decor but it looks lovely. Thanks for sharing your setup! It's so inspiring!

[@thelostteacup]

You're so kind :) thank you!

[@scf7334]

Love, LOVE, L-O-V-E your planner and set-up! I echo another commenter when they said it’s so refreshing to see a truly functional planner without stickers and washi. I love your dashboard and running to-do list, too. Excited to watch your other videos! TYFS!!

[@thelostteacup]

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm!

[@PlanYourOneLife]

I love your plan for your planner. I always plan for how I'm want to use my planner too.

[@thelostteacup]

Thank you 😊

[@caelointheclouds]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful Hobonichi Weeks Setup! This is what I’ve been looking for! I appreciate all your ideas that you shared with us! 🎉🎉🎉

[@BridgetTrice]

Good on you for taking care of yourself!

[@eleanorsweeney6808]

This is absolutely wonderful and refreshing! Thank you sooooo much for sharing! This has been so helpful for me! I’ve gotten so lost recently in the planner rabbit hole. I have a chronic illness and I need my planner to be able to track my health issues with that. So at the moment I now have multiple planners and have incorporated my artistic & creative side to them which has become overwhelming. My goals & vision no longer are what I’m focusing on. Thank you for your insight and refreshing take on planning. I’m looking forward to seeing your other videos. And if you want to share your goal process please do 😊💗

[@eleanorsweeney6808]

Do you think you could share more how you have your dashboard set up? Seems really effective!

[@thelostteacup]

Hi Eleanor, what a great idea for a video! I was planning on rewriting my dashboard a bit neater anyway, so that would be a perfect time to film a video :). Thank you for your suggestion.

[@DawnMCdn]

Excellent!! 👍🏻

[@badpoetry33]

I love it… thank you! It’s very inspiring to see how you really focus everything on supporting your vision. It’s exactly the key I needed. I would love to hear about how you set up your goals. I think you have a very clear and refreshing and low-key way of approaching things, and would love to hear more from you!

[@thelostteacup]

Thank you so much!

[@tootsfour956]

You did a good job of explaining your system. It's better than mine Thank you! Merry Christmas! Blessings

[@thelostteacup]

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!

[@elizabethsyddall3124]

Fantastic job, great information to keep it simple and stay focused. I am going to try to follow some of your suggestions on my planner and see if it helps me stay on track. Thank you

[@thelostteacup]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found my video helpful.

[@jennifernatalie4213]

Love your setup ❤

[@thelostteacup]

Thank you, and thank you for the follow!

[@silvertales]

Thank you for this video! It’s great to see a more straightforward setup that is practical and attainable for those of us who don’t want to spend 8 hours setting up weekly spreads. I have fallen off the bujo wagon multiple times because I just didn’t have the energy, time, or patience to make a weekly spread every time I needed to schedule things I needed to do.

[@thelostteacup]

I had exactly the same issue with bullet journaling! I set up a weekly spread maybe twice when I just started and after that it devolved into long daily to-do lists that made me despair every time I looked at them. Having the spreads already set up has helped me a lot.

[@leisiashopik1118]

I’m very curious about the process you used to define your vision. Could you please speak about that and any books, systems or reference materials you use? Thanks!!

[@thelostteacup]

Thank you for your question! I will try to go into it a bit more in my next video. My system, including the vision, is mostly inspired by the book The 12 Week Year, by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington.

[@TheStationerd]

I have the same re bouts of reoccurring thoughts. I call it rumination. I have to take a hydroxyzine and sometimes that helps. Hope it gets better for you. It can be frustrating 🖤

[@thelostteacup]

Thank you! It is definitely very frustrating. I love your username :).
