how i’ve used my minimalist hobonichi | april 2023 plan with me hobonichi techo a6 & flip through

[@kattmatte]

I really really miss your videos ❤

[@EdieBrown]

This looks like a bullet journal, just inside a planner. No ruler or drawing. I like it!

[@rowenap9020]

agree! its great

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you! 🤗

[@caffeole1]

Hi Claudia, this was the first video I have seen of yours and let me assure you it was anything but boring. I love seeing and hearing your planning process. I love how you use your planner in the most efficient way that benefits you. Believe me, there are plenty of us that look for "true" minimalist planning videos as they are very hard to find. Thank you so much for sharing! Blessings!!

[@claudiaspaurel]

Aw! Thank you very much. I appreciate hearing that. Glad that my minimalist planning content resonates with you 😊

[@ItsKatieB]

I love seeing a reasonable hobonichi! It makes me feel better about what I am doing in mine.

[@Shirley61581]

Love your videos ~ This is what I’ve been searching for the past 2 hours! So many say minimal but have stickers galore… I want practical & functional and you delivered. I could watch this type video for hours. Thank you soooo much!❤

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you for your comment - this is so sweet ❤️❤️

[@thalitaviegas7964]

you gain us with your simplicity, Claudia! Thank you for sharing this and wish all the best for you and your baby!!

[@claudiaspaurel]

thank you so much, thalita! 🤗

[@toucann8]

Colour coding the monthly spreads is genius. Thank you for showing your planner; it's sometimes difficult to find inspiration in the planner/bujosphere that is clean, clear and (most importantly) functional!

[@Ldasnchez]

Hi Claudia! I am just starting bujo and your videos make me feel normal. I am by no means creative as some other bujo users and your videos have helped me as I've discovered I am a minimalist. Thank you for your videos 😊

[@claudiaspaurel]

Hi! Sorry for getting back to you so late. Thank you for your comment, this is so sweet and encouraging to hear! 😊

[@emmacharles6380]

I love your videos! So minimal, no fuss no drama, just real planning😊

[@nuyorkina1]

I am so thankful for this close up look at the hobonichi. I was thinking about buying one. There isn’t a video on how to make hobonichi inspired spreads in the bullet journal for those who love the flexibility of journaling. You helped me to see that I still need the customization. Most planners of mine wind up being empty at some point. I love bujo because I don’t have wasted pages. And I don’t feel like I waisted money.

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thanks for watching! I'm happy that seeing it up close has helped you discern what would work for you :)

[@tracyteaches8747]

I love your planning style. I will be using an a6 for the new year too.

[@DouglasGPratt]

Love the code coding. I use inks - black for work, blue for personal, green for church, and red for special events (red was the color for my daughter when she was in school).

[@pradhapradha7055]

Your video was amazing and your explanations are always so clear and straight forward and you show us minimal and simple vids and not those artsy and complicated spreads and your vids are just so chill and calm and I love them!!! 😊 Keep up the good work!!!👌 Love your vids!!!❤️😍

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you very much! Will continue to work hard 💪🏼😁

[@TrulyCoral]

Your explanations and such are always so clear, and I love the simplicity and calmness in ur videos. Keep shining, Claudia! 🤍🍏✨️

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you for watching and thank you for your sweet comment 🥹💛

[@amyburleson9302]

I’m new to hobonichi as well so I’m watching videos to get ideas and I really like how you setup the calendar using colors to represent certain events and I’m planning on using the one monthly thing to track my bible reading too. Great video! Thanks for sharing some really good and helpful ideas 😊

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you for watching! Glad that what I've been doing resonates with you 🤗

[@nikitaashok3818]

Hi Claudia, very cool to see the way you continue to adapt your journaling style to your needs, no matter which planner or bullet journal style. Thank you for the bit about giving yourself permission to leave blank pages be! I needed that. :) Wishing you the very best of luck with your little one soon, hoping everything goes smoothly for all of you. Much love

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@CollyM284]

Good on you for trying something new! I like it how you are still bullet journaling per day even though you are using a planner. I’m at that stage now so it was great timing to see your video. I like the pops of colour in the monthly calendar. It’s still minimalist but it adds a pop of colour. I remember by colour so this is what I would do as well.

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you for watching! 🥰

[@honeybunnybunny1958]

So happy you uploaded ! 🥰

[@missnurseeri]

I adopted your method of color coding the monthly section. GAMER CHANGER! Just doing that only for the month of June has already made such a huge difference.

[@claudiaspaurel]

Oh that's awesome! So happy to hear that it works for you as well 🥰

[@swethasai4048]

Ur voice is so peaceful

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you!

[@Prosperittyy]

I like how you organize!Definitely makes life much easier💖

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you 💜

[@37kit]

I was a bullet journaler for years too!!! before switching to hobonichi for 2025… it’s a little insane but i made a second purchase on the hobonichi website just so i could buy this year’s planner to get used to the system for the rest of 2024 as “practice” for the 2025 journal 😅

[@stardew.flower]

I loved the way you do your monthly calendar pages! You always make amazing videos Claudia! Keep up the great work :D

[@claudiaspaurel]

You're so so sweet. Thank you!! 💛

[@stardew.flower]

You're welcome :)

[@colleennewton7882]

Hi Claudia, I had the A6 Hobonichi last year, struggled with it and ended up using it for memory keeping. I wish I'd had your video to draw from then, I know your colour coding would've worked a great for me. I love the paper and the size, maybe I'll have another go next year. Thank you so much for sharing xxx

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@maisunhaghi]

Thank you for sharing this, love it! I've been searching for "ex-bullet journal-er" using Hobonichi techo, quite hard to find... most of the users love to decorate so much haha I've been bujo-ing too but kinda has no time anymore to do the set up. The Hobonichi layout seems practical for 2024.

[@erikaramirez6558]

😍 this was not at all boring, totally my kind of party 😂 new sub here, someone mentioned you in a Rachelle in theory vid! Thank you for the clear explanations, I love a minimal functional planner❤ question: do you never need more room? Like the doula questions, where would you write the answers?

[@claudiaspaurel]

aw thank you for watching! to answer your question, yes sometimes i do! maybe next year i'll try a different hobonichi planner? i don't know! we'll see what my journaling needs are in the future. with the doula questions, i ended up only interviewing one doula and had memorized her answers so it worked out haha

[@AngieSpeaksNow]

Welcome to Hobo community! I too started using a6 Techo for this year 😊

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you so much!! And awesome 😁

[@imsody]

Lovely video! So calm and simple. Question: Have you stopped meal planning or are you using something else for it? I'm thinking about starting meal planning, inspired by one of your bujo videos from a while ago and lately I have been looking for all the inspiration I can get! Thank you ❤

[@claudiaspaurel]

Hi! Yes I have stopped meal planning - since having a baby, I cannot plan for anything anymore lol I wish I could be of more help!

[@extramaria1173]

Hi Claudia! The first video I saw from you was the one were you show us that we can journal without expensive supplies, I really loved it! since then I have been watching your channel. I was wondering can you have a diary and bulllet journal in one notebook? Also I love your videos!!

[@claudiaspaurel]

yes you sure can! and thank you so much for watching my content 😊

[@kattmatte]

I have missed your videos ❤

[@frederiquelong785]

Hi Claudia, Being skilled in arts but not having the time to bullet journaling anymore, I watched your video with a lot of interest. Switching to a planner is a brand new thing for me, my "fear" is to be redondant and feel guilty if I don't write what's "expected". Your color coding is an excellent idea that I will end up using, also because it makes a planner happier! I am trying to figure out how to pin down a rolling weekly as it was THE tool that was the most useful to me. Anyway thanks for sharing and take good care of you and the little one coming soon.

[@claudiaspaurel]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I feel you on the rolling weekly - that's why I've got the brain dumping but it's just not quite the same as using the rolling weekly spread! Here's to more trial and error to find what works for us 😊

[@frederiquelong785]

@@claudiaspaurel It's not the same because you don't have it in front of your eyes when you look at your week. And the more I advance my planner, the more I miss it. There's a little dotted section that I could maybe divide vertically but I doubt it's gonna be as practical. I might just end up using a very thick lined and colored paper that I will move each week to the further week... waiting to find the right idea 💡

[@jesslyn7089]

really neat and nice! love it. i been thinking of getting one but it's quite expensive!

[@claudiaspaurel]

it's really expensive... 😭

Hi Claudia ! Have you ever considered digital planning?!

[@claudiaspaurel]

Not really! I like pen on paper, but digital planning certainly looks fun 🤗

[@scottrutan837]

Hello Claudia, I'm an executive who does too many meetings. I would be interested in seeing some corporate business layouts. Any suggestions?

[@frederiquelong785]

Hi Claudia, In my last comment, I wrote that I would miss the rolling weekly with the Hobonichi. Here's a video that may interest you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqTdc6J9etWLg7M You could use the left page to write down your appointments or events and the right page for the rolling weekly. Hope you are not too tired and the little one brings you all the happiness you deserve.

[@T.E.S.S.]

How do you avoid losing where your brain dump pages are?

Hi Claudia, I have been following your tips for BUJO, and your idea for the Brain Dump fits in nicely thanks. I have a question about your old video kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5qtqqKho7mdZ6c, . At 3m 45s you descrbe your key. There is a symbol there that you do not explain, 'Extra' with a dog leg arrow. Is this for threading?

[@kumastationerycrafts3076]

Love this! We have just sent you over an email ^_^

It is possible to do more Christian based, scripture based bullet journal layouts and stuff like that ❤️‍🔥✝️
