I laughed out loud when Amy said “I would say that’s correct” because fyi for those who haven’t had the pleasure of going in person to the Yoseka store, Amy is THE MOST PASSIONATE PERSON EVER about planners and her enthusiasm in person is infectious.

[@tor2162]

These personal planner usage videos are my ABSOLUTE favourites, not just with Yoseka, but across KZbin. I am a practical planner, no decorations, but use several planners for appointments and logging. I love to get ideas from other people’s custom use. Thanks for keeping up with these! Ashley, no shame, I have a collection of 2024 planners too!

[@itsmeLori]

I love May’s spending tracking system

[@Jessieannnwade]

Same! I'm going to use it in mine this year.

[@michellealdrich]

#plannerpeace has been around for maybe 10-years? At least as long as I’ve been following planner content on KZbin and social media 🤗 And in recent years, “planner contentment” entered the chat 😂😂😂 Great video y’all! Here’s to 2024 🥂

[@alwaysroses]

This series is my most favorite Techo Kaigi across all of KZbin. Such a good intro to different planners and a good insight everyday usage. One question though...where's Authan?!

[@krystalogue]

OMG OMG OMG 🎉 My favorite video. Commenting even before I've seen the whole thing 😂

[@itsmeLori]

Me toooo

[@foamsoap41]

loved this omg, May's little doodles for each day of the month adorable!!

[@SamisSweetLife]

I absolutely plan in bed! I love being able to clear my mind and wind down before going to sleep! Love seeing everyone's planner lineups. I am totally like Amy where I buy pretty planners and then try to fit them into my life because PRETTY!

[@giannacohen8476]

love Gordon!! so cute!

[@itsmeLori]

Gantt charts are really helpful for project planning when there are lots of dependencies and a target end date. I actually wish there was a book with a 52 week or 24 (semi monthly) chart across, or even a quarter at a time. I don’t need to plot things out as much when they’re contained in 30 days, it’s usually the super long term projects with workstreams that span 1-3 weeks at a time that really require this visualization. I draw my own in my cousin, and I use this to plan things like deep cleaning my apartment or to plot out several capacity-draining projects over the course of a year

[@camsycommeca]

I looove this video! Was hoping to see Authan’s 😅 but this was so fun! Amy is so relatable! 😂😂😂

[@pinkpatx]

Yes. I was waiting for Authan's planners too. 😊

[@Alex-mp8ro]

Authan’s fan club here!

[@senoritachapman]

Yay! This is my favorite video each year. I always am interested to see if everyone is going to be using bookbound planners or if anyone will use a ringbound.

[@robertholden4586]

This is my absolute favorite video y’all make all year! Loved the new faces and the OG faces like Ashley ❤️😢 praying she heals up soon!! I love how different everyone plans and utilizes their planners and stationery! I have to say Ashley that stack is HUGE 😅 very intimidating! Also, I’m with Amy on this one I always plan on my bed 🛌 I’m usually laying on stomach and feet crisscrossed in the air lmfao 🤣 idk 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m a straight up weirdo! Loved finally meeting Gordon on video too!! I’m going to be using the Hobonichi weeks, the A6 Take A Note planner and I’ve added the Kleid x Eric Small Things A5 Loose leaf binder with the Eric Small Things 2024 planner insert! Hoping to get back into my art which got highly neglected in 2023! You all Inspire me so much!! I hope you all are happy and healthy! I love you all xoxo ❤💕🧿

[@luslab]

Amy and I think alike. I got the Take-A-Note for 2024 to plan and log. The TAN has a faint line down the middle where she drew the line, so it's as if it was also made for that. I want it to be a kind of memory keeping. I like the idea of having plans and comparing them to what I actually do. I can't wait to start it. I've been using the December monthly so far. Thank you for showing us all your planners!

[@michellepolly7868]

I loved seeing the insides how people used their planner! Loved May's daily doodles and seeing how she blocked off time hourly in the vertical format. The date journal looked so fun!

[@anne-marie5197]

Love this. So interesting to see how everyone uses their planners

[@greciaanaya6452]

What pen does Ashley have with the Les Agendas planner??

[@beccathebee123]

I also got the OURS Studio planner with no real need for it! It is SO PRETTY!

[@zap021]

Yessssss. I have that same hobo cat cover only in the techo hon. I love how annoyed they look!

[@susankmino]

Today after my dental appointment, I'm going to stop by yoseka store and get my hobonichi. Unfortunately I've been working a lot and I didn't have time to order online. Thanks Yoseka for those wonderful videos❤.

[@nadiah.floots]

Amy at 44:51 "I do a lot of things in bed because there are a lot of things on my desk" : totally relate. Most desk surfaces in my room are always full, so I would sometimes either write while I'm in bed, or have a small seat next to my bed while I write on it. I would've preferred a lower bed, but I'm stuck with this one - might as well let it double as a table.

[@ina_lina]

That was a fun video. Thank you. Such nice people. Starting off with May was perfect for me, because the first 2024 planner I got was the same Hon as hers. Then I started thinking it might be too big to carry around, so I bought the A6 gingham Hon. But it doesn't have weeks, so I bought the weekly supplement calendar. Then! When I was scrolling Yoseka's website back in October and saw that the Hiroko Kubota: Another night of falling star sparklers was back in stock, I bought it. Even though I've never used a weeks. That cover is just so pretty! So here I am less than two weeks from the new year, and I'm not sure which planner I'm going to use. 😂 Happy Holidays to all of you! P.S. I do a lot of planning and drawing in bed, not necessarily at night; sometimes early quiet morning in bed is the perfect time.

[@cereal76]

I am so happy I found this channel. I spent the past two weeks of 2023 getting my notebooks for 2024 dialed in. Final tally, 5 books 😂

[@2152133]

Great video. Watched it more than once. ☺️

[@introvertedaquarius]

My favorite video of the year!!!

[@ninougaul4888]

It was nice to see what everyone is using!

[@hvnlybluu4545]

I love the A6 spread of the spending tracker at the beginning of the video! After watching this, I implemented this spread into my planner. This spread gives me a better eye-view on my weekly spending. Thank you for the idea! I learn a lot from Yoseka's videos on how you use planners!

[@dindinlagdameo6738]

Enjoyed this video immensely. Made my imperfect planning feel not too imperfect. Looking forward to my TN 2024.

[@laurenvanderkraats]

I absolutely journal in bed. It's a lovely way to see myself to sleep

[@heathergleiser]

I got a Take A Note and the OURS research journal for next year! Can’t wait to dive into both. I love seeing how everyone on the team uses their planners and you all have inspired me to design my own printable planner pages for quilting projects and trying new recipes. Happy holidays, Yoseka!

[@rosalynreed5932]

Great video (as usual)! For 2024: Commonplace notebook = Midori A5 graph; Planner/daily memory keeper = Hobonichi Techo A5; Church sermon notes = Midori B6 slim lined; Traveler’s regular = personal journal; Traveler’s passport = daily carry reminders & quick notes; - Rosalyn

[@pinayknitter]

Love, love this! It’s so exciting to see how people choose and use their planners. Thank you!❤

[@withlove_nikki]

aaah I was just rewatching last year’s techo kaigi last night and I was so excited to see this! I’d definitely love to see check-ins throughout the year, and also any videos of anybody who might be using their books for things that might be less planning in the traditional sense and more logging or journaling! like the media log, for example. I’m trying to get into the swing of planning more but I’m definitely more of a journaler and I’d love inspiration 💗

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so good, love you videos ❤❤

[@audreyward3693]

I absolutely loved this video. I’m a lifelong planner kind of person but your team put me to shame! I’m inspired and revved up now to reassess my planners and pens for the new year. The video has given me so many great ideas. Loved it, thank you!

[@SamanthaSAL]

I cannot wait to see you guys in person

[@juuree_]

this video is such a gem!

[@foxtrotelement]

These videos are fantastic. I am not sure about a Gantt chart book. The beauty of the charts digitally is that they are dynamic and shift automatically if an associated chained task is adjusted. Doing all the schedule shifts manually would be a huge PITA to keep up with.

[@phoenix_S-K]

Haha, I'm totally not planning in bed - I need to get up and sit at my desk with a cup of coffee! Thank you for showing everyone's personal systems. It's super interesting to see what works for different people and situations. Personally, I'm actually pretty close to planner peace now. I think I can fit everything I need to plan and track and note into one Hobonichi Weeks (yes, you're all really close to my functional and aesthetic ideal!) for the year. Let's see if that works out in 2024...!

[@darlingplan]

I'm a newbie to this style of planner and loved watching all the different uses your team developed. It's amazing to see how many planning iterations there are of a single spread. Thanks so much to you and your team for sharing a little bit of their lives and stationary passion with us! 📚❤‍🔥

[@ladyamalthea85]

I really enjoy these kind of videos.

[@michellehiggins9465]

I also have the Olive Green Weeks and A5 Dog cover for 2024.

[@nadya715TV]

can we have quarterly updates instead of mid-year updates?? i am OBSESSED with this

[@anicame2]

I started the PAL planner in December 2023, as a Health Tracker and I absolutely love it for that so far! My stack has gotten bigger for 2024 and I’m still trying to find my rhythm with them. I love everything I am tracking and recording but for me, it can be a little overwhelming at times. Like I mentioned, still trying to find my rhythm.

[@michaelamadeit]

Thanks Yoseka friends for sharing your planners! I think my planner style is closest to Gordon’s! Love the mentality if it doesn’t fit in my planner then it’s probably too much to do 😆 I do prefer smaller planners! When does the Ours Planner come out for 2025?

[@tinaethridge7545]

This video is so valuable!!! THANK YOU. I love your shop! ❤

[@ojaisue]

Love all your videos and customer service! Yoseka is an amazing shop, my go-to stationery store!

[@viktor_k_campus_molndal]

Great chanel. Informative and visual. You have great voices but please skip this loud "Hi everyone!". Great work! Happy new year.

[@chobits15987]

So happy to see everyone’s planners!! I’m with daisy I can’t write in bed, for me I need a desk and good lighting lol

[@zee3e]

i always get super excited to see what other people are doing! currently have three gifted planners (weeks, weekly supplement, and plotter) that basically do the same thing, so I'm trying to figure out what i can change before the year starts :0

[@angelrosee73]

Enjoyed the video! Thank you all for sharing

[@justusspace]

I sit on the floor in my livingroom every night to plan haha! Sometimes at the kitchen table while i eat breakfast

[@Jessieannnwade]

I did the same thing with the OURS research planner last year as what Ashley is talking about, haha. I was like "I want this planner because I love it!" but I ended up not using it (oops!) Will be using it sometime for just a memory tracker. And sorry Amy, I don't plan while I'm in bed 😂 I usually do it at my desk or on a pillow on the floor at my coffee table!

[@martika1568]

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you all for an amazing year of great service and amazing stationary options! I love your shop and the staff is so nice and responsive to questions. You are on my 2024 places to visit bucket list! I do plan in bed a lot. Especially in my hobonichi 5 year. ❤❤

[@cjazzist]

I've been waiting for this episode for a few months now~ Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to dive in to my 2024 planners now

[@emilyinwhite]

Love this-it makes me feel better about my planner decisions or indecisions. 😂

[@tortiedove]

This was awesome! Thank you for sharing everyone! So many good ideas!

[@itsinna01]

YAYYY so excited to watch

[@Alex-mp8ro]

I love this so much, and I’m going to be looking closely at it on New Year’s Eve as I get ready for 2024. But it gives me so much anxiety. 💀

[@RG-yf3uj]

Curious if Neil decided to get the plamner you all were showing on one of the gifts videos. You all talked about how he's been using juat a notebook & he was thinking of using planner instead this year.

[@AMiniki]

I do plan on bed, if my planner is not out and about with me, it lives in my night table or by my side on my desk so i can just reach for it and write. MANY times I end up reaching for it while I am on bed to check if I did what I was supposed that day and sometimes to write things for next day or later. Journaling also happens in bed sometimes, depends on the mood and my level of tired xD I do fall asleep sometimes, but if I am that tired to fall asleep in the middle of my journaling, then I would have fallen asleep on my desk too anyway 😅

[@journalinthedirt]

We need everyone’s socials if they post planner content!!! lol ❤❤❤❤ please!!!!!

[@paperbutterfli]

What is the cover on Amy's a6? Its so cute!

[@vickeyheisler2369]

I loved the video. Great job. I have a question for all of you. What planner would you guys recommend for someone studying languages? I'm currently studying Japanese. And I'm finding myself with at least 6 things to carry. And there heavy. If possible I would like to only carry maybe 2 items. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thank You in advance.

[@sfs825]

I definitely plan more in bed than at my desk, because my desk is always covered in art supplies 😅

[@JayleneNg]

May @ 5:00, where did you get that stamp stickie? It’s so pretty!

[@thezoncheetv]

Hi! Can I use the clear cover for A6 hobonichi for my A6 HON?

[@bittermaxx]

ohhh the weekly spending tracker here is awesome 08:57. been looking for a use for the Hobonichi whole year 2-pages area! This spending tracker is working awesomely so far! thanks!

[@ailahkathrina53]

Does anyone know what brand of pen case May has?

[@MeziahRuby]

omg I saw the post on IG and RAN to KZbin

[@hannahnetting9479]

I do all my planning in bed. Quiet time to think.

[@rosalynreed5932]

General question to those who use MULTIPLE notebooks: A. Do you ever write “away from home” e.g., coffeehouse, library B. What is your favorite carry method - backpack, messenger, tote

[@lil.ikuraa]

hi team yoseka! 💚 oh my goodness, this video went by so quickly!! I got so many ideas from this! thank you so much (to everyone) for sharing. 🙂 P.S. my partner got me the stalogy x yoseka A5 journal for xmas and I nearly cried!! your videos have kept me company through many challenging moments and made me feel less crazy about my love for stationery. team yoseka seems so friendly and passionate. your videos lift my spirit and make me feel comforted. thank you for posting regularly and having different team members on the channel. I am all the way in Hawai'i but I hope to visit someday. I secretly (I guess not so secret anymore) hope to meet amy and neil someday! - krissy ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

[@pinkpatx]

Where's Authan's planners? 😊 I journal in bed.

[@Mlle_Bleue]

Only bed activities happen in bed. Also reading. Nothing else.

[@julia-here]

i journal in bed!

[@denisegarcia3200]

Plan in bed

[@ClaudioAlbertoZuñigaGuarachi]

We have here a parado e here! You have many planners, then forget to live LIFE. How empty is your living, the you know there great museums, cinema, street, poor people, children dying on stupid war, 😢😢😢😢😢you representa the banality of empty lives😮😮😮😮
