How I'm using my 2025 Hobonich Cousin functional planner + staying organized

[@HappierbySeppy]

What will you be including in your planner for 2025 ? Or what other tools do you use to stay organized?

Awesome information and you are so confident! I adore it! I just finished setting up my 2025 hobo cousin, first one ever! So far I am so excited! The only thing is my pages are starting to lift from the top which is already discouraging me from using! I’m going to stay strong and continue on using because it all cost a small fortune!

Ahhh thank youuuu! You're so kind!!!! And YAY for a new Hobonichi Cousin!! I'm so excited to do my January monthly planning in it soon!!!!! And did it start to lift because of the washi or sticker?? I find that thinner stickers and washi tape do better on the paper. Let me know if you have any specific hobonichi cousin video requests so that I can help with your future planning and staying on track!

@ thank you so so much! I can’t wait for all of the planning videos! I’m so lost in regard to how to set up my things in order to help me stay in order 🤣but I also want to help myself to get inspired so I’m practicing with some prompts at the moment. It may be due to the stickers but I only decorated my monthly spreads with TCMC sets so I’m not certain that’s the cause

@@Ashley-d1m It might be helpful to look at what your needs are for your planner versus a journal, and start building a system from there! Get inspiration from videos, and see what's realistic with your schedule and how much time you can dedicate every day/week/month to your system! And also remember that your system will change as you implement ideas and you might realize an idea you had isn't helpful to you. I have a video to help you think through your system - that might be helpful for you!! (And I'm always here if you have questions - I can help you with your ideas!)

Hello! Loved this video! I have a question for you - how do you decide what you put in your Hobonichi cousin and what you put in your bujo? I tried to use both at once and couldn’t decide where to put what. thank you!!

Hi there! Great video. Can you please share the link for the clear cover on your hobonichi cover?

[@HappierbySeppy]

Hi there! It's the Midori A5 notebook cover! To put it on, you just have to flatten your hobonichi cousin and almost exagerate the bend so it can slide into the cover. That's what most people use for a plastic cover. I've used it before and got the same one this year and it fits perfectly once you get it on! Here's the link : amzn.to/49U1RyP
