2022 HOBONICHI WEEKS FLIP | + How I’ll Use my 2023 Weeks!

[@jochanwong]

Hope you’re still using this method with weeks. I love it. They’re beautifully laid out. You have given me inspiration with my first hobonichi weeks.

[@ciannacoleman5125]

I like the idea of the weeks but between wanting my notes to be in the same spot (ex. My must dos for the week and my thoughts on projects/what not in the same place), and not wanting the dated planner to be wasted if I abandon it, I am considering getting Sterling Ink’s new “weeks” monthly & blank notebook. I can then set up the basic weekly spread at the beginning of each week and leave the following pages open for notes. But the preplanning stuff can be in the monthly.

[@azzyzulkifli9149]

Your system is the first one I've seen that combines function and style beautifully, so thanks for this! Got some great ideas on how to plan out my 2023 Weeks and love your honesty about not really having much to do in the Notes section - it's that for me too!

[@SunshineFL]

I like this. I’m pretty minimalistic I only use wha I need. Some months I’m super busy some I’m not. 2023 will be my first time using a hobonichi weeks for my planner. This is good information for me.

[@Doris0221]

I enjoyed this video as I’m new to hobo weeks Planner. I still use my EC A5 calendar inserts however possibly switching to a cousin so we shall see 😊

[@dennismanning3964]

I have considered this system for function. I need some simple function with cross reference. This is my first try at this in my 2 year fountain pen/ink/paper adventure. Thank you for your experience! It's time to keep a method to my madness.

[@kamillafridlund366]

I am glad you are back on youtube. I have missed you here. I your planning. Thinking of buying me a weeks planner.

[@rhondadavis56]

This is my goal! Thank you! 😊

[@thepensiveplanner]

Hi Amanda. I love the simplicity of your planning style and the functionality. Couple questions...(1) do you highlight first and the write over with pen or vice versa and (2) what pen do you use in your Hobonichi?

[@BrandiJanei]

I set up my first weekly spread in my weeks and I’m already over it. 😂😂😂 I like the simplicity of yours much more.

[@rachkeats763]

Oh I loved this! In 2023 I plan on only using the Weeks (trying to downsize the amount of planners I use...and then end up stop using because it all becomes too much) so I'm going to try something similar to you. Simple and functional. That's exactly how I want my planner to be. I'm a huge fan of Helen @ Coffee Monsterz, but thanks to you, I've now discovered Sterling Ink! Thanks for sharing - can't wait to see more ♥

[@kitsala1]

Love your systems. Also in weeks, but always looking for help just ordered for 2023. Waiting for delivery.

[@YuliDnevnik]

Glad that you said Lindsey scribbles is your inspiration coz she's my inspiration too 💕✨💖

[@raealdridge8200]

I love the way you use your weeks (I'm also a fan of Lindsey)! I'm looking for the same kind of simplicity when it comes to planning next year too. I want to spend more time on my other hobbies and just use my planner for the basic life stuff. 2023 will be my first year in a Weeks.

[@brittanycarlton1966]

I love that your planners are simple and functional! I’m in personal rings or personal wide but have ordered a hobo wks just for the weekly view. Please don’t change your planning style, can’t wait to watch more of your videos ❤

[@amandaleighplans]

Thank you so much!!! I actually just finished setting up my 2023 weeks for the new year (primarily doing my Jan monthly and tracker page) and it’s the exact same style as my old weeks with a few upgrades for function! 😝 I hope to do another video on it soon now that it’s actually set up!

[@brittanycarlton1966]

@@amandaleighplans can’t wait to see when you make the video and post. I bought a cousin thinking I need the extra room but I’m not sure. I love the compact size of weeks. We will see though, it’s a January start so I haven’t tried the cousin yet.

[@wegotthepower]

I just love this! 😍 I’ve just started using my first ever Hobo Weeks for work & Im really enjoying it thus far! But I think it’ll take some time to get into my groove with how I want the layouts. Although my intention is to have it be very basic since it’s for work. But at the same time I want it to be nice 🙈

[@Monikanoid]

Where did you get those metal paper tabs and simplified mini stickers (hearts, balloons, cake, etc)? I love them!

[@bonnieshapiro3511]

I love your planning. Simple and functional with some added deco for fun and to add some color and interest. I like how you do your to do’s,notes, etc. I also use my daily pages for foreword planing for monthly re-occurring medical and other appointments and house maintenance chores. I put the months on 2 pages so I can see and plan everything. I’ve had my division line on the weekly to the right side or left side of the page but I think I’m going to change back to the left side where the line already is. It’s just easier. I’ll have to re watch some of Lindsay Scribbles as I remember liking her style too. I don’t really do a lot of journaling but may do a really short description on books. I found this video really helpful. I have a pretty basic functional style and enjoy some deco. Just found sterling ink in October. Love her work.

[@ebonyjustplans381]

I think we're on the same vibe. Functionality and simplicity for 2023. I was a personal rings user as well, however, I depend on my weeks for everything seeing it can go anywhere easily. 2023 will consist of 2 weeks, 1 for a catch all and 1 for Fitness and health. Maybe get a companion notebook. That's it for 2023. Stay blessed.

[@sehamusudan7069]

This is so neat. I'd like to try this too. Thanks for this video :)

[@niqueshouse5414]

Love your spreads. What pen do you use?

[@lynnettecorrales2735]

I really enjoyed your video! I used a Wonderland222 b6 this year and although I really liked it, I've missed my weeks so I'm using it for 2023 and between you and LindseyScribbles, I have a good idea of how I'll be utilizing mine better. Thanks!

[@roosterhead355]

Where did you get the coffee spill stickers? I've looked everywhere and I can not find them?

[@dbrickner5292]

I love your weeks. Functional, but also pretty.

[@tenakinsel4760]

Coincidentally, I'm going from a Personal Rings planner to a Hobonichi Weeks for 2023, too! :) I find I enjoy stickers but I could move away from complete decoration...I'm still experimenting with layouts and moving sections I had in my rings planner into this planner. Exciting but nerve-racking!

[@priddysillygirls]

Love this! I’m new to planning and am very interested in the sleep tracking system you use. I have insomnia and it would help me so much! Any suggestions? Thanks 🙏🏻! -Michelle

[@debrasixtoes424]

This is specifically to the point. No complications. Thanks. Journal/ planner are not that complicated.

[@ethiea_]

What pen/ink do you use on the Hobonichi weeks?

[@avadc5350]

Seconded, please!

[@amandaleighplans]

I used to use a Pilot Juice .38 gel pen but switched to a pilot vanishing point fountain pen with de Atramentis archive ink! My next video will be all about pens I recommend for hobo weeks :) mainly focused on gel pens I used in the past but also gonna talk about my fountain pen/ink that I use now

[@cocogrant7418]

Such a great flip with your weeks, Amanda! Thank you for sharing, love! I’m considering a second weeks as a planner ( the other is my social media planner). My beautiful rings will be reference (so sad)😍😍 This was so helpful!!

[@msteppling3550]

Do you have the link for the horizontal number strips?

[@scf7334]

I bought a Hobonichi Cousin for the first time and wish I would have seen the Weeks instead. The Cousin is overwhelming the $#&@ out of me and it’s not even January 1st, but it was so expensive that I’m going to use it. I did end up buying the Kinbor version of the Weeks for a health and fitness journal, though. Next year, I’m going to use it for my main planner, too. Love your planner and your videos! So nice to see a functional planner that is also beautifully done.

[@margotluftig9083]

What black pen do you use?

[@kidsmom100]

I LOVE your setup!!! I also have the milk tea and I'm thinking of going with really neutral colors. Can I ask where is the sticker/stamp coffee stain circle on your front page from? I absolutely love it! I've been looking for something very similar with no luck.

[@debrasixtoes424]

Wow I need a hobonochi planner like this one! Where did you buy this planner?

[@superpsychomomplansandsaves]

i am using the daily plus monthly day designer that i re dated because it seems to be discontinued and i really like it.

[@Apriltingler-ut7my]

What kind of pen do you use in your planner?

[@amandaleighplans]

I use a Pilot Vanishing Point fountain pen with De Atramentis archive ink, but when it comes to gel pens Uniball One is the best for instant drying! I plan to do a video soon on best pens for the weeks!

[@Apriltingler-ut7my]

@amandaleighplans thank you for responding. You have beautiful hand writing.

[@jendu7861]

Where did you get your clear cover from?

[@amandaleighplans]

Many shops have sold them such as Hobonichi themselves, but honestly I’ve been getting them lately from Aliexpress for a couple bucks! They’re the exact same and easy to replace when they get super dirty or cloudy to no return like this material tends to do lol

[@deleongirl72]

Thank you for sharing your Weeks it was very helpful. Last year I had a cousins and it was too much. This year I bought a Weeks 2023 and am still looking at YT for setup inspo. I like the simplicity and functionality of yours. Please continue keeping us updated. 🙌🏼 Ohh I just saw …I knew I had seen you previously moved to Texas.

[@wellyano6964]

I'm with you girl. Sometimes tracking too much can make you neurotic about the simplest of things. It adds more to your mental load if you gotta put a dot in a box every time you fart. 😂

[@amandaleighplans]

A dot in a box every time you fart I am cryingggg HAHAH 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes! I like to keep the things I’m tracking as little as possible, only what I actually need (like to remember to take/if I took meds) orrr data that I can actually benefit from knowing

[@xojasberry90]

Just here to tell you to be careful when using the MIlk Tea with a clear cover, as they will stick together after a while, and you won't be able to get it out anymore without damaging it.

[@ariadw]

I'm using it currently and the way I solved that was just slightly powder my cover so it doesn't do that. I don't know how long that'd last but it's an option...

[@amandaleighplans]

Good to know!!! Thanks for the tip. I’m still curious to see if I’m gonna be able to train it to lay flat lol. Why do they have to make the good colors in the difficult materials 😅

[@amandaleighplans]

@@ariadw oh wow interesting!! What powder did you use?

[@ariadw]

@@amandaleighplans I used some store bought body powder and dusted it off lightly to allow it to sit on the cover but also let it do its thing

[@levitito2888]

Love how you just say random 💩

[@talaplans]

Also started using the weeks format 'cause of LindseyScribbles. 😅

[@nessie1015]

So proud of you for knowing what is working and resisting temptation to purchase anything new. HOBO Cousin has worked so well for me in 2022. I am using it for 2023, but wanted to support Catherine and possess her yearly Common Planner B6…now I don’t know HOW I will use it🫣
