I use a Weeks for a gratitude journal. In the monthly section, I write down the scripture I read that day. In the weekly, I write down one thing I am grateful for that particular day on the left. On the right, I write down my prayer requests, just a short paragraph. The size constraints of the Weeks keeps me concise and focused. I use the notes section for additional elaboration, if I’m struggling with something in particular, as a quick chat with God. It’s been working great for two years now.

I wasn't going to use Hobonichi this year and only planned on using a bujo. WRONG. I went back to using my weeks as a health planner, my a6 for a journal, and now my cousin for my daily plans, budget, and meal plans. I think I am done changing. I enjoy playing in my bujos, but I think I will just keep them as morning pages, projects, and long term collections. My weeks cover is the mint with the slightest hint of shimmer and gold debossed 2024.

[@AbbeySy]

Haha, I gave up on bujo since 2019. Every time I try to get into it again I regret it instantly :)) I don't have time anymore to sit and make my own templates, I'd rather work and use a format that seems to work best with how I get things done.

My first year using the Weeks! I got the sparkly night cat cover (when I saw the lineup, IT was the one I wanted) and use it to jot down pretty much everything. It's very similar to your earlier years of Weeks. Don't really use the monthly pages while the weekly pages have stickers and washi tapes to decorate it minimally. I use one color pen per week to try to actively use my pen collection lol. My pages are a mess but I love it and I think I will continue to use the weeks for next year.

So many ideas, love the weekly/daily tarot draw. An idea to add to my Hobonichi. I started the weeks this year, it’s my first. I use it as my daily journal. In the monthly section I jot down events, things due, etc, basically my schedule for the month. In the weeks section, I jot down things/feelings of the day, add mood stickers, then summarize the week or choose a highlight of the week. In the notes section I go more into details on special moments I want to create a whole spread for like events, concerts, trips, book reviews, health. So far I love it. Definitely got thick fast. Love reading how other people are using it. 💕

I wasn't gonna get a weeks But I was OBSESSED with the Taro Okamoto design and couldn't get it out of my head. So I bought it and it's been a perfect little work planner~

[@nikita2471]

This is my first year using the Weeks. I started my fitness journey last year and didn't want to use my A6 Hobonichi for it as I use that for memory keeping. I figured the Weeks would work and so far, it has. I just keep track of what I did for my workouts, my insulin and Moungaro/Ozempic injections, along with my weight. At the end of the year, I'll see if I want to continue using the Weeks. Love watching how your journey with the Weeks happened through the years!

[@AbbeySy]

I just used the yearly view to track my workouts! It's so nice to see the whole year at a glance esp. when you're tracking something :) Thanks for watching!

[@ladyindigo9835]

Loved this video! Great ways to use the hobo weeks,,!! So many fun and functional organizations and content!

[@heyjennylee]

I still haven’t tried the Weeks but your video was a really great walkthrough of the different ways you’ve used it. Thanks for a great video!

[@ChantelleArts]

What a stunning journal, so stunning ☺☺

[@totolobaby]

Found your channel last year. Have been watching all your videos. Thanks for sharing your journaling and artwork. Absolutely love it!

[@AbbeySy]

Thank you so much!

[@jennywilder2962]

I use the weeks as you do. Agenda on the left, important tasks on the right. The right hand side of the page changes, but mostly a list of what I want to do. I like the mega so I use the notes pages heavily. Thx!

[@anni7039]

This is so inspiring, Abbey! Thank you for sharing. I’m struggling with the Weeks this year but I might give it another try.

[@AbbeySy]

Thanks Antje! :)

[@DhyanaKimie7365]

Such a great video! I actually really like how you used the notes for “monthly reports”… I might adopt that idea! Currently using the 2024 Makino and it’s the best :)

[@AbbeySy]

I keep forgetting to do this in recent years, but it’s definitely a good way to sum up the month :)

[@GirLWhoLaughsAtFunerals]

Love your writing...Sooo Neat...

[@mylenecalonge4164]

i wonder, how long have you been writing a diary po?

[@lethbridgepaper]

A 0.3mm Energel refill? How have I not heard of this? The Energel is my favourite gel pen by far but the 0.5mm (the only size I can seemingly buy here) is just too thick for most of my planners.

[@AbbeySy]

it exists and I bought mine from JetPens www.jetpens.com/Pentel-EnerGel-LRN3-Needle-Point-Gel-Pen-Refill-0.3-mm-Black/pd/21677
