I actually prefer watching someone stay in one planner over a period of time! There’s something comforting and reassuring about it. Enjoyed seeing that you’re sticking with this weeks!

[@samplans]

Thank you! Who knows how long it will last, but I’m feeling really comfortable in it for now!

[@mlcoffey2]

I have used the Hobo weeks for 5 yrs now as my everyday planner. It's all I carry, and I love it.

[@samplans]

It’s been part of my lineup for so many years, I need to keep it that way! 😅

[@morganwentworth2041]

Also, it's fun to watch setup videos but it's also nice to be reminded that people stick to the same thing through a period of time.

[@jeaniev.5952]

It is nice to have someone share the struggles that a lot of us face (mentally, healthwise and of course planner related) in such an open way. Thank you for sharing and giving us all a place to feel we are not alone😊

[@samplans]

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me!

[@jeaniev.5952]

@@samplans Absoluetly! 😊

[@LesaKenner]

The planner community should do a One Hobonichi Weeks June lol We all have them so why not lol I love PWM and setup videos so you could find your planner in a dumpster and I'd still be here for it.

[@samplans]

I mean, we do all have one, so you might be onto something! 😂😂😂

[@KayeReshaw]

I really love how simple your style is. Very peaceful and not overthought. Very nice to see. Thank you for being real 😊

[@samplans]

Thank you so much!

[@Motti88]

Oh I love this ! ❤ especially the idea for the cover !!!! I’ve had Erin Condren, mochi things, happy planner, all the random ones from staples, Walmart, target 😂 nothing compares to the hobonichi for me ! So sleek and can comfortably fit in all of my purses ! Perfection !!!

[@morganwentworth2041]

I'm still in my Common Planner, even if I miss logging some weeks. It's comfortable. Adding pencil to my planning (so I can write what's coming up in my vertical weekly spread, then using pen to write what actually happened) was a huge game changer. I have introduced some page clips so that hopefully I utilize the quarterly and monthly spreads more regularly

[@samplans]

I’m glad you are enjoying that planner, I know a lot of people really like it!

[@blessingsonthecoast]

I love the weeks as an EDC, which I use for appointments and notes. I use an A6 as a journal, memory keeper and love it. I find myself naturally sticking with this system. Great video.

[@samplans]

That’s a great system!

[@ghostyplans]

I’ve tried to keep myself in an 1/2 year A6 Stalogy for the second quarter of the year, and sticking with it made me learn a lot! I’ve almost filled it up, so it won’t last all quarter. THATS okay, I’m wanting to try rings in June! I’ve never done rings before, so I’m excited.

[@samplans]

Oooh! Two favorites. Stalogy and rings! 🔥

[@Jolynn777]

I've been using the hobonichi weeks as my edc since 2018. In 2015, I started with happy planner but wanted something a little smaller. I use fountain pens to plan and journal, and the hobonichi paper is perfect. I use the day free to journal in. Love your hobo weeks videos❤😊

[@samplans]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you’ve found your planner, the Weeks is so fabulous!

[@marcyodell3373]

Love that snap closure! & love to see ya in the weeks!

[@samplans]

Me too!

[@moniques.journal.corner]

As always Sam is here to remind me why the weeks works!! 💙✨️

[@samplans]

😅 Now to keep it that way!

[@PaperPensandCoffee]

That is great that this is working for you and enjoying the Zen of it. I am in the camp with you on the kits. I still have things from a A&O kit order which was ordered like 2 years ago.

[@angiepayne6104]

Hi Sam, great video! I did enjoy your plan with me. It as been a while. I did like that you switched up your washi tape. I am glad you are finding a way to continue to use your Weeks and be settled in a way with it. You seem very relaxed, and at peace when you talked in this video. Have fun with it! 💙

[@shelly3251]

I recently discovered the weeks and love it. Of course now I’m scrolling YT to find all the videos on how people plan in them.

[@samplans]

Welcome to the family!

[@XwynntopiaX]

I just discovered the Weeks (and the Cousin) too, and spent a ton of time on YT watching how people plan in them, like you! I found a ton of helpful information and then some planners that were so aesthetic that I couldn't hack it. I just found Hobonichi and bought the Cousin, but it was a lot of real estate to fill up on a daily basis, especially with my very slow life. (I'm 50 and retired, so I don't need to work and I don't have a young family. I'm divorced and my adult daughter lives with me. Not a lot of activity in my life.). So I bought the Weeks and am looking forward to using it. I hope yours and mine and Sam's all goes well. Cheers to the Weeks!

[@hivona]

I am new to your channel but I think our planning styles are similar. A lot of your comments resonated with me. I look forward to watching your older videos and keeping an eye out for new content! Thanks!

[@samplans]

Thank you so much!!

[@RG-yf3uj]

I'm still using the same planners & journals. It's funny bc I was just telling someone else, I've sometimes been tempted to change but I've got that OCD I have to complete start to finish & have been satisfied w/what I'm using. Although when I had a vertical that was hard. Verticals not for me so far.

[@samplans]

I wish my obsessive tendencies made me stick with one thing. 😂 Good for you!

[@RG-yf3uj]

@@samplans Well maybe HoboWeeks will be it 🙂 Seems to be the one you've used the most other than rings.

[@Tayym122]

What pen did you say you were using in your video? Where can I find it?

[@dee_ewell_pierce]

The girl thing isn't my vibe at all. I don't like people in my planner...I didn't want people on top of my wedding cake either!

[@samplans]

I didn’t have that kind of wedding, but if I did, there would be no people. 😅

[@ziggy2255]

I've discovered Chalean! It's her that inspired me to walk more and ease off on extreme cardio! Happy you are still settled in the weeks presently. 🎉

[@samplans]

I just finished that program again, it’s so good! I’m going to try a 6 week challenge with my other favorite “brand”, Les Mills.

[@shanelldrago1836]

I often use post-its for repetitive tasks. Works great for me. Try it!

[@samplans]

I will!

[@mariab424]

I love your videos. I agree with you, I don't like kits either, for the same reason as you. I don't want to buy a kit and then just ending up like one page of it. Glad I'm not the only one..LOL..

[@samplans]

We seem to be in the minority, but that’s okay!

[@jacquelinemendiola29]

Where did you get that clear cover its very nice with the snap button as normally I never see one like yours! I love the kitty cover too!🩷

[@samplans]

It’s the regular Hobonichi clear cover with a belt seal.

[@JHJohnson]

I hate that I repeat plan in my cousin. In 2025 I am going to a stalogy for journaling. Keep my megawerks for EDC and the cousin will be for Bible study. I love my weeks and just can’t give it up

[@samplans]

How will you incorporate weeks and days for Bible study? I tried that once but couldn’t figure out weeklies.

[@JHJohnson]

@@samplans my mega weeks will be my EDC bills todo etc. the stalogy just for journaling and the cousin months weeks and days will be Bible study. Months will track verse of the day. Weekly will be devotion and daily will be what I am currently studying and the notes I want to take

[@retrowtures3896]

I love your videos! I feel like I’m chatting with you at your kitchen table! You have great handwriting, easy to read. I’m doing #onebookJune 😬. Switching from the Hobonichi Weeks which I’ve loved this year. Once June is over, you better believe I’ll be backfilling in my weeks!

[@samplans]

Thank you! I’m glad you are trying something fun, but I’m sure the Weeks will be happy to have you back!

[@themazeballet]

Your handwriting is fine; it's very friendly!

[@jenifermerrill]

I agree! 😊

[@samplans]

Thank you!

[@XwynntopiaX]

This was a nice video to watch, although it didn't surprise me that you went from the square rings to the Weeks. As you said yourself, you "flip flop." That used to be my (ex) husband's favorite description for me, I "flip flop." And I just learned to embrace it! That's how I am and I don't make any apologies for it to anyone. If you don't like it there are millions of other people you can check out! I've come to expect you to "flip-flop." I think that's your norm, your slice of "planner peace." And that's okay! I, too, am using a Weeks, my first one that I've had for only a few days. It's a lavender Weeks Mega, and it's beautiful and it matches my purple Galen Leather wallet/Week's cover that I bought specifically for this lavender planner. It's lovely and I love it with the glittery stars clear cover. Perfect. I wish I could send you a pic! But I am going to try to make this Weeks my only planner for the rest of the year. Let's see how we do. I love how small it is but how much information you can get in it. I just had to buy a pen with a smaller line. It's a Pigma Micron 01 .25mm in black. Love it. It's perfect for the Weeks. Anyway, love to see your videos. I'm a new subscriber! Keep 'em coming! Let us know how June goes.

[@samplans]

Thanks for subscribing, and taking the time to say hi! I definitely have two standard faves, the Weeks and rings, and while I feel a little more functional in rings, I am not excited to keep the pages or flip through the used pages like I am the Weeks. It’s much easier to just keep using the Weeks and not have to back fill. 😂

[@HelloPriyaa]

Hello.. If you don't mind, can I please know what do you do for work (ofcourse without divulging any personal details). I'm in a point in life, where I'm searching for something new. I came across your channel due to portland leather, stayed due to your content. Thank you

[@samplans]

Well thank you! After years of chasing shoplifters (literally) in retail, I’ve settled into a nice office job in accounts payable. I think I can see myself with this company long term, but maybe not this department forever. Good luck with your search!

[@HelloPriyaa]

@@samplans Thank you so much for replying! Oh gosh what a daring job! Chasing shoplifters wouldn't have been easy. Would require lot of courage too. I'm sure you have tons of stories from that experience! I'm glad that you have found something long term. Thank you for your wishes. Good wishes to you too. Love your videos. You are inspiring me to be a planner as well as taking care of health too :)

[@t.a.poynter-watson59]

I’ve been in personal rings all year so far and I’m thinking is it working and I think I’m actually ok with it. It’s the conflict between personal and public. I can see that next year I’ll want something different but that’s ok. That’s what I’ve learned I need that public reference that others can see and I need the private that’s just for me

[@thestationeryjunkie]

Hey Sam. I'm curious why the olive weeks didn't work for you when it's the same layout in any hobo weeks?

[@samplans]

Hi there! It was just a little bit smaller, which kept it from fitting in the clear cover well, and I felt it was more stiff, not staying open easily like the other Weeks I’ve had. They may seem like small changes, but when you’ve used a planner for years and are used to how it feels, it can make a difference. It bothered me enough that moving to the tie fabric is much better for me.

[@thestationeryjunkie]

@@samplans oh i didn't know the leather ones are smaller. Do you mean the layout is smaller on the inside, or is it the external size? I can understand why it won't lay flat because of the cover. Good to know. I am steering far away from leather weeks. I also like my books to lay flat when I leave it open. Thanks, Sam! ❤️

[@cindytennessen9475]

where did you get the snap closure?

[@samplans]

I’d google “midori belt seal” they aren’t usually found in the usual shops. I bought mine several years ago.

[@grettaarzate8070]

Hi Sam. New to planning - like today years old and taking these recommendations! May i ask what this little clip to hold the page is that you very discreetly took off and put on? It's so cute - I've never seen anything like it, but again, today years old with the planner research.

[@ziggy2255]

It's a Midori index clip

[@samplans]

Welcome to planning!! It’s a Midori index clip, I get them from JetPens. They also have them in silver.

[@grettaarzate8070]

Thank you so much!!
