[@monique1181]

I love how you utilize your weekly layouts. Thank you for all the great ideas.

[@plan2create]

Thank you so much! Appreciate you taking the time to comment and happy you liked. 😊

[@_heartcakes_]

your weekly layout = genius, innovative, creative masterpiece, blowing my mind right now

[@plan2create]

Okay, that’s the sweetest comment. Thank you! 😊 So happy to know something that works for me can click for others’, too!

[@xenazahra]

I love this so much! I'm really enjoying neutral/muted colours too. You've inspired me to try time blocking in my planner!

[@plan2create]

Thank you, Xena!! Time blocking is going to be a work in progress for me but I really want to use it, so I’ll keep trying! Let me know how it goes for you!

[@laurajane1900]

This actually makes the hobonichi look so appealing, I hated them before I watched this but you’ve made it so functional and pretty!

[@plan2create]

That's such a huge compliment - thank you, Laura!

[@cindyborcherding8927]

LOVE the neutral color palette. 😊

[@plan2create]

Thank you, Cindy!! I don’t know what took me so long to try this out but I’m really loving it, too!

[@juliesalazar7058]

Very helpful! Also, please do a video about stamping in the hobonichi! I would love that.😊

[@juliesalazar7058]

Actually, just realized this is an older video. I found your stamping one. Thanks!

[@plan2create]

Thank you, Julie! I just shared a new video that has a little tip for stamping in the hobonichi! 😉

[@chip667]

I love how you use your weekly spreads. Will incorporate your ideas into my hobonichi for this year. Already used the first week as a layout guide. Thank you so much lol

[@plan2create]

Thank you so much! Glad that some of my ideas could work for you! That’s a great idea for using the first week as a guide since it’s mostly Dec!

[@bethbracken6315]

Love your planner style. Thanks for sharing!

[@plan2create]

Thanks so much! 😊 Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.

[@tmcdgreen]

I love the work stickers! I have some transparent stickers, that's a cool idea to try.

[@plan2create]

Thanks! glad that idea resonated with you! :)

[@samilombardo]

This video was so helpful! I just ordered mine & was trying to get inspiration for my own planner! Thanks so much! 😇

[@plan2create]

Oh yay! So happy to hear this! Thank you!

Hi Julie! Have a 3 day weekend and catching up on your videos. Bought some printables from you last year but the ring systems I wanted were all sold out at a few companies. So I decided to try the Hobonichi route and tracked down a Mega Weeks and love it but it was too small for some weeks. Last night I finally tracked down a English version of a Cousin from private vendor in Japan. I’m a stamper and scrapbooker for many decades…so stickers are new to me in planner use. But I love how you show us that you can use stamps, Tombow markers and minimal stickers and make the planner still very functional which is my goal. Got overwhelmed by other creators with the mass deco on their pages in their Hobo. Cousin, where would you write your plans?Lol😅Thank you for making Cousin videos and looking forward to using my Cousin and using your videos as a guide. Take care Julie! P.S. I need to rewatch the Daily Alaska episode to see your husband, I have been anxious that there have not been any new episodes, love the show!

[@plan2create]

Thanks so much for your feedback! Glad you’ve found some inspo in my HC videos! I just saw that the Alaska Daily show was about to release some new episodes. Yay!

[@coco_plans]

I love this video, Julie!! Thank you so much for sharing it! I may have watched it multiple times😍 Your layout has helped me so much. I walked away from my Cousin because I couldn’t figure out the weekly. Now I’m considering it for 2022. So grateful for your efforts❤️

[@plan2create]

Oh Connie, thank you so much! You are the sweetest - and it's a huge compliment for me to think I've inspired you in any way. xx Julie

[@primabellecreations]

Thank you for sharing! I got my first one yesterday and this is very helpful!

[@plan2create]

Yay! Have fun getting it all set up! Thanks for taking the time to comment. 😊

[@camillebreckenridge3382]

Your process of learning what works for you in this planner is inspiring to me. I've wanted to go back to a Hobonichi for a couple of years and am excited to do so in 2022. I'm looking forward to following along with you and hopefully sharing some of my ideas as well. I'm already taking notes on how I want to set it up.

[@plan2create]

Look forward to seeing how you use yours! I keep reminding myself that I can dial it in more and more as I go.. I don't have to think of everything right now! ;)

[@amberwood1948]

thank you so much for sharing your weekly layout, you gave me so many ideas!!!!

[@plan2create]

Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback! Much appreciated! 💕

[@moneekaayrenae]

I reaaaaallly love your layout and color palate. I set up mine almost the same way but you’ve shown me ways I can tweak it. It took me months to realize I didn’t need to use the whole day 🥴. I now use top for class and the bottom for tracking other stuff.

[@plan2create]

Thank you so much!! Yah, I didn’t use this planner much from April to August because I just couldn’t quite nail down what I wanted to do with it. Then I started tweaking it to work for me and now I love it! Sounds like we are in the same boat! Love your idea for dividing it up to suit you!

[@lalaydade3364]

I LOVE this video! I am now inspired to pick this planner up again. I couldn't get it to work but seeing how you added those sections down at the bottom really makes it an all in one planner! THANKS FOR SHARING!

[@plan2create]

Awww, I'm so happy to read this! It makes me happy to know I've inspired you to re-think the Cousin. Let me know how it goes, and thanks so much for watching and letting me know! xx Julie

[@JustScribble]

I highlight for marking off tasks too. Visually it helps me see what’s left versus what’s not better than checking it off. I use mildliner brush pens because they bleed less and fit in all my pencil bags better than tombows - and last longer too. Definitely stamping off held (where you stamp on scrap paper first then on TRP without reinking in between). But there’s also some ink pads that work better for tomoe River paper - like artnic inks and chalk inks.

[@plan2create]

Yes!!! It’s easier to see the outstanding items. I haven’t had an issue with bleeding with my Tombow’s but thanks for the suggestion on the mild liner brush pens!

[@susanflemingcoaching]

Thanks so much for sharing your layout and the process you went through to get to it. Maybe there can be planner peace in my future!! I'm so encouraged!

[@plan2create]

So happy this encouraged you! Planner peace is a journey… enjoy all the stops along the way! 🤍

[@patsyadams1833]

Excellent ideas. I am about to take delivery of my first cousin and I've just discovered you channel. I think there will be a binge watch this weekend!

[@plan2create]

Awww, thank you so much! Happy to know you enjoyed my video! Thanks for sticking around!

[@theplannerspot]

Loved your video, Julie! Your Hobo layouts have seriously been making me want to bust out my Hobo. I do have one, I just can’t figure out what to use it for 🤔😆

[@plan2create]

Thanks for watching, Sam. I totally relate - there are about 5 planners I'd like to be using right now but I can't justify it. I have to stick to one or I'm a mess! For what it's worth, you make me want to jump back into rings every time I see your vidoes! :)

[@cardsstampsandink]

Love this video Julie. Your layouts look great! You’re gonna make me want to try a hobo cousin🙈

[@plan2create]

Haha, Karen! It's a fun one for sure!! :).

[@shellp4463]

Love this so much! I have a weeks but now I want a cousin. LOL

[@plan2create]

Haha!! Thank you so much!

[@maysflowers9770]

Love this. 2022 will Be my first year in a cousin. So excited with these tips

[@plan2create]

Oh fun!!! Hope you enjoy it!

[@jennifergentry144]

I am so enjoying seeing and hearing your ideas and planning tips. You have such great ideas! Thank you so much!

[@plan2create]

Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear that and appreciate you saying so! 💕💕

[@BAShaneHolser]

i’m about to jump back into a hobonichi for the first time in years and i never used the weekly pages well anyway 😅 this video was very helpful! and i love seeing how your system/page organization/color schemes changed over time. i’m looking forward to that in mine ❤️ thank you for the video! 🙏

[@plan2create]

Thank you so much!! Hope you enjoy your hobonichi this year! I am still dialing into how I want to use my monthly and daily sections better, so I think we all just have to be patient and let the process roll out! I agree - it’s nice to see the evolution on the pages!

[@traceybeaumont8535]

Looks great Julie.

[@plan2create]

Thanks for watching, Tracey!! 💕

[@marianneskarupa5440]

I’m definitely going to incorporate the Incoming list. I quickly forget what I, my son ir husband have ordered and email notices often omit this information. Very helpful. Also I didn’t catch the vendor for the sheer colored circle sticky notes in the sidebar. I couldn’t use those if you can share the vendor. Than you!

[@plan2create]

Yay! Glad you liked that incoming idea. It’s helped me keep track and will come in handy the closer we get to Christmas. 😉 The circle sticky notes are from Poi and Hun. Cloth and Paper also sells similar ones!

[@mooneywifey]

So helpful! I loved my cousin this year but really didn’t use my weeks section. I’m going to practice time blocking in it this week 💕

[@plan2create]

Happy it was helpful! Are you sticking with a cousin for 2022?

[@sherrieroesner8070]

Hello loved the way you are exploring how to set up your hobonichi ! Can you tell me where you purchased the dinner /fork stickers that you used when meals were to be recorded on. Thank you.

[@plan2create]

The little dinner plate I use most often is a stamp! My original set I use is sold out but there’s a similar one in this set from Studio L2E: bit.ly/38JqFfi

[@christinelanoue8935]

Welcome to AZ! Wow I have a few random stamps from years back, thank you for the inspo. #buckeyeaz

[@plan2create]

Thank you, Christine!! We love it here so far! Yes, dig those stamps out!!! 🙌🏻😊😊

[@tinybitsofbliss]

Where are those transparent stickys from?

[@plan2create]

Those are squares from cloth and paper. I have also used white page flags from post it! 😊

[@quinnieday733]

Where did you get the cute floral stickers?

[@plan2create]

Aren’t those amazing? They’re from Create with Mandy! 💕

[@jenniferabreu1205]

🤩 I think I found my people!

[@plan2create]

aww i love it!

[@amiehegeman]

I see Scottsdale Quarter! You are by me!

[@plan2create]

Oh fun!!!

[@sammie5236]

Where did you get the weekly and daily tabs??

[@plan2create]

I made those! I have a label maker and printed my own labels on clear tape, then adhered them to transparent page flags. They don't stay sticky forever.. I need to make a new one for my weekly because it gets moved the most. :)

[@EatPrayPlan]

I have watched this video 1738484 times! Btw! My hobonichi is here!!!!!!! And I also got the Filofax notebook cover 🖤

[@plan2create]

I am so excited to see you go to work in your Hobonichi. I hope you love it! Thanks for all the views, lol!
