The hobonichi cousin has the absolute best layout I've ever seen for a planner... it's mind blowing... I wish other companies would do something similar... The combination of weekly with daily is perfect...And the 24 hour option is one of a kind - for university students that often pull all nighters, or people who have night shifts, it's just ideal...

[@pattyann1963]

I used the hobonichi cousin for a couple years. I loved that planner!!! There’s nothing like it!!!

[@horsewithnoname12345]

I used to work nights and would have loved it. Used day designer and it worked fine but 24h is awesome

[@AmandasFavorites]

Thank you for sharing what you loved about it:) It is a very magical book! It can't do almost anything in that tiny package:)

[@eileenkds3630]

But the price kills me 😢 it would be my ultimate agenda if not for the price

[@thislittlebylittlelife]

I am using 3 hobonichi's in 2022!! Can't wait. I am loving my B6 I have been using as my health journal.

[@simplyparticular]

Thanks for the thorough reviews - saved me $. HP “broke” their hourly week for 2022 by reducing the hours and increasing the top section. And it seems like all the Etsy sellers are mimicking that instead of keeping the old time range. I wish we lived a 7-7 life but it’s more like a 5:30-10:30. The few weeklies I can find with longer hours either: Stick the open space at the bottom (we need it at the top) Make sat/sun share Move the sidebar to the end of the week (we need it at the left or things get forgotten or left until the weekend) I also really liked the ability to punch and add flyers that come home from school, etc.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Thank you for sharing all the issues you've had with hourly planners. I am not an hourly planner myself so this helps me to see what is important to you!

[@incredibledorster5207]

As a college student I find it hard to find a decent hourly planner.. I'm always caught between either carrying something useful/heavy or light/not as fulfilling. Thanks for this video!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Gotcha;) So glad this was helpful:)

[@evamaynard3021]

You are the Jedi master of planners!!! I am probably going to get two of these to try!!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Awwwww, you made me laugh, smile, and blush! As a Star Wars fan this was the best thing I've heard all week:) Thank you:) Which two caught your eye?

[@SteamyPMcGee]

I went for small passion planner undated weekly. It suits me that the times for from 6am to 11pm as I try and be asleep between 11pm and 6am. It's big enough to write in (I can write small with my fineliner) but not too big that time blocking looks silly or too much. I don't want too much peripheral information like goals, lists, dreams, trackers, but there is the perfect amount of free space and note space in case I decide to use this for a small period of time. I'm trying to make a collection of printable for my thermo printer to stick in as and when needed.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hey Lizzie;) Thanks for sharing how Passion Planner is working for you:)

[@vickiemendoza9252]

I received the KitLife weekly planner today! oh my! It's so light weight! So many things to love about all the changes they've made. So excited to use it since it will be my first time using a vertical layout. I think I'm really going to enjoy it! Thanks, Amanda for another great video. Always, enjoy your top 5 videos.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Oh, good Vickie. I am so glad you love it already:) Thanks for the kind words too:)

[@LauraPowell252]

Thanks for your videos and for bringing us all the planners. My favorite timed weekly is the Take-A-Note planner. Hobonichi was too much, but the TAN with its timed daily week on 4 pages worked perfectly for me. I prefer the more portable A5 size and the 68 gsm Tomoe River paper is the perfect compromise between compactness and paper thickness and works well with so many pens and watercolor paint.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I have seen that Take a Note! It looks amazing:) Thanks for sharing all the things you love about it!

[@sarahchase2690]

The Hemlock & Oak looks awesome! Thanks for sharing, Amanda. :)

[@AmandasFavorites]

You are so welcome! It is a really well made planner:)

[@elise85391]

I wish EC would offer different times on their hourly. They're a pretty big company, so I wish they would do like an 8am-9pm option or something like that as well. I know Plum Paper does that, but I love the colors in the EC

[@hazeltulip]

They have an hourly washi

[@AmandasFavorites]

I hear ya on that!

[@katevonlackum1598]

They have recently done away with 18 month planners, and I see less choices on their website. Bummer.

[@elise85391]

@@katevonlackum1598 I think they stopped doing the 18 month planners just bc it's the end of the year. The 18 month would go from July 2021- Dec 2022, but we're almost at the end of 2021. I think they'll bring them back for the next launch

[@briannastultz6924]

I’m planning to get the Hobonichi for 2022. I love the aspect of having the weekly planner but the daily too.

[@AmandasFavorites]

The Hobonichi is an amazing planner! I feel like most planner lovers want to at least try it once;)

[@margoriebrodie2303]

Another great review. You are a treasure to the planning community! xo

[@AmandasFavorites]

Aw, thank you so much Margorie. That made my week!

[@nancysells7002]

Loved it! I am trying to decide whether or not to do another planner this year. I really was disappointed with Passion Planner’s cover options for 2022! Hemlock & Oak might be an option for me, I really liked that one…mostly I think I’d miss the larger box at bottom for lists. Thanks Amanda!

[@AmandasFavorites]

I understand Nancy. Yes, the PP boxes for lists and extra space down there are so nice!

[@ShadowIsSnarky]

Carrie Elle started a planner (previously just meal planner and notebooks and printable things)...would you do a review of that sometime? It's a vertical. I know their paper is nice (I got a box kit thing from her 2 years ago and it included an undated planner, and I used it for this year). Erin Condren stuff kinda even fits, at least it did with this one. It hooks in well, but it sticks out a little, but I don't mind. Anyway. I love these reviews, even if I don't need one. Gives me more to think about.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Thank you for sharing about your Carrie Elle. I have a review up here on KZbin from several years ago of her planner;)

[@MsClarysage]

Listen… you have helped me out tremendously!! Thank you taking the time to create this video! Appreciate you ❤️

[@AmandasFavorites]

Aw, thank you so much:) I am glad it was helpful!

[@helencb9940]

Great video Amanda! I hope you are keeping well. I have been thinking of you and your family this week. Thank you for doing this wonderful review. I really love the look of the Hemlock and Oak planner! I will keep an eye out for it on your IGTV! I really love the forest one in particular!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hi Helen:) Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts for us. It hasn't been an easy week. But we are making it:) The Hemlock is amazing with the improvements this year:)

[@kimberlyvessels623]

So happy you did this review, hope you continue this next year!! My favorite hourly weekly is Planner Pads which I think you reviewed a few years ago. It's slim and lightweight, minimal ghosting. I don't always stick with the top down guidelines & like that I can utilize the bucket & list sections in other ways if I choose. Somewhat affordable too although your comparisons always help me to rethink every year about using a different planner for either home or work.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Thank you Kimberly:) I have never reviewed Planner Pad! But I have looked into them...and it looks like a great layout:) Thanks for taking time to chat!

[@everydayjanuary3648]

The Hemlock and Oak looks like the planner of my dreams! 😍😍😍 I’ve used Ink and Volt for years, and the H&O looks like it may have an edge. Thanks for sharing!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Oh, perfect! I bet you will love it!

[@STR8MAMA]

I love the layout of the Roterunner Purpose Planner. I haven't seen anything like it! I would love to see something similar to them, but I am also a fan of Passion Planner!

[@AmandasFavorites]

I did do a review for the Roterunner in an IGTV video over on Instagram:) Thanks for watching and chiming in with your faves;)

[@Butterflies.and.Tulips]

Thanks again for your thorough reviews! I am intrigued by the Kit Life planner and all the budget pages etc that are included, plus the price point!

This was a very thorough review! Thank you, I really appreciated this! 😊

[@AmandasFavorites]

You are welcome Natalie:) I am happy it was helpful!

[@patriciamcelroy3581]

I agree the Hobonichi is amazingly versatile. I can’t get past the paper which I really detest.😂 Also the micro font is not a friendly for my eyes and it gives me headaches. Some of us already wear glasses for a reason. 🤓 I quickly abandoned it several years ago.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I couldn't grow to love the paper either, and the grid was too small for me also. Thanks for watching and chiming in:)

[@sarahmc8922]

For 2022 I'm using the Inamio 24, it is similar to the cousin but without daily pages but better paper.

[@taravaughan4592]

Oh this was SO fun to watch!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I liked your video! Unfortunately I just haven't found a planner that works for me! I need one that tracks my blood sugar and food intake. Right now I'm using a customer planner that I made using a spreadsheet app!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Sometimes we do have to craft our own on the computer or in notebooks to get exactly what we need/want. Thanks for sharing that, and for watching;)

Try Goldmine and CoCo and The Black Queen are really great planners.

Thanks for all your hard work with these planner reviews and commentary. I'm curious though, have you ever used The Happy Planner (any layout) and if you have, what is your opinion on them.

[@BermudaOnyx]

Hi, passion planner often had 2 ribbons, thought you might want to know that

[@AmandasFavorites]

The bound book Passion Planner I have from this year only has one ribbon. I will have to look into that?! Maybe they are changing it.

You should look into hopeful planner and passionate penny pincher planner

Any good a6 hourly planners ?

Off the top of my head Hobonichi and you might check So Typical Me (I have afew reviews on them but not sure if they offer the hourly in the a6. Good luck!

[@tommym4167]

the passion planner hurts my eyes as strange as that sounds. I would recommend something different for school age group.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Thank you for sharing that. I can actually understand why it might (although it doesn't hurt mine).
