Hobonichi Full Year vs Avec Cousin || Mandy Lynn Plans

[@Sharon-G]

This is exactly the information I was looking for! The Cousin gets too heavy to carry and I thought the Avec might work better for me. I wanted to be sure the Favorites and My 100 pages were in both parts of the Avec. I'm glad to see that they are! Thank you for this informative video!

[@MandyLynnPlans]

Yay! So glad it was helpful!

This was such a great thorough review thank you! I wanted a cousin but I bought an avec this month because I wanted to start a new system in September so it was pointless doing it in a full year book. But I was just about to buy the cousin for 2023 & then I suddenly thought… I actually think I prefer the avec 😂 This video helps a lot :) I think the less weight to carry & the fresh start mid-year are the most compelling for me, but also, I really like the wine coloured binding on the avec, so they’ll look really nice all together on a bookshelf.

I'm so glad it was helpful for you! I started the same way! Late August of 2018 and I've bought an Avec every year since!

You sold me. I have been using a bullet journal (no printed dates) for the last few years and decided to give the Avec Planner a try. I like the idea of carrying around a smaller, lighter book. Thanks!

[@thesmugroup]

I ordered the full year for personal/home and the Avec for business so I can carry a notebook around with it. Thank you so much for doing these comparisons. They are extremely helpful to me.

You are welcome! I'm happy to help!

I’m going to be using a Hobonichi for the first time in 2022 - I bought the full year to replace my leuchtturm bujo in a travelers notebook (along with a few other inserts). I love the idea of having the whole year in one notebook but I do worry about the weight and size especially since I’ll need to add another notebook to supplement the fact that I won’t be able use multiple pages for one day. Now I’m wondering if I should’ve bought the avec instead of the full year. Plenty of time to buy the avec and decide, but the shipping is so expensive that I don’t know if I like the idea of just purchasing the one thing. Great video! Thanks for the comparisons!

[@MandyLynnPlans]

Glad it was helpful! I hope it works well for you!

I went from Avec in 2018 to Full year in 2019 and instantly felt regret! My book is beyond chunky and can not be an EDC now which means I had to add in an additional A6 Techo Avec to this year🤦‍♀️. Back to Avec for 2020 and I can breathe easy now! Lol.

Thank you so much! I think I'm going to get the Avec this year! I needed this information. Thank you!

[@cafecreature]

Thank you for this review. It was concise and exactly what I needed to make my decision. Have a great year planning and vlogging. :)

[@MandyLynnPlans]

So glad it was helpful!

[@ameliawhitaker6025]

I love having the whole book, but you are right in that it's heavy!

[@Whywondermous]

This is exactly what I needed to know! Thank you!

[@MandyLynnPlans]

So glad to help! Enjoy!!

[@MiniM69]

This is perfect! I’m in a full year cousin with a stalogy half year in my LV Desk Agenda and it’s incredibly heavy. I’m looking forward to getting the Avec in the 2020

[@MandyLynnPlans]

Oh I can imagine! Hope you enjoy the Avec!

[@TonyaPlans]

Great informative video!

[@MandyLynnPlans]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

[@missygeorge1315]

I have ordered the cousin and weeks. My cousin is replacing my Leustrum. It will stay at home. My weeks is the travel. I may have to do an order for more cousin stickers. 😃

[@ollieandchloe]

This is awesome--thank you! Very informative in helping me decide.

[@MandyLynnPlans]

Glad it was helpful!

Great video! This is my third year using the Hobonichi techno full year. I am trying to decide if I want to try the avec for 2020. I love all the ways I am able to plan in Hobonichi. A dream come true would be to have a cousin in English or to get rid of the Japanese quote at the bottom of the daily pages.

[@RamClan4]

This is a GREAT review!!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@MandyLynnPlans]

You are so welcome!

[@susanbeckett9347]

I was a full year book person this year, but bought the Avec for 2020.

[@MandyLynnPlans]

What was your primary reason for switching?

[@susanbeckett9347]

The planner got too full with all the stickers and tip-ins and photos.
