Jibun Techo Mini versus Lite Walk-thru and Comparison

[@lindatho4]

Im so happy i found this video mid 2023! I have the Jibun Techo Standard, and i didnt need all the pages, but still loved the planner. This video made my choice for 2024 so easy! Thank you! 😍

[@LilDivette]

Glad you found it helpful, Linda! I’ve loved the JT for years-hope you do too. 🥰📚

[@DeborahJaneWilliamsLewis]

Quality is always worth waiting for...as always brilliant video xxx

[@LilDivette]

Awe, thank you so much Deborah! 😘

[@marigoalsetter]

So happy you're back and so glad you were able to take the time to take care of all that you needed to. I'm on the lookout for a 2020 planner and the new layout for the Jibun looks interesting! Thank you for the flip through! -Mari

[@LilDivette]

Thank you for your kind words, Mari! So far, I’m loving the JT Lite and can’t wait to officially start using it the last week of November-the blank list and grid pages really make a difference. 👍

[@tootsfour956]

So glad you are back with professional reviews! Thanks for the time you invest in making these videos

[@LilDivette]

Awe, thank you so much! Check back for more videos in 2020-have a great holiday! 🎉🍾

Hi, I've just found you and wanted to say a massive thank you. I've been using a bullet journal for the last 12 months for work and like you I have to deal with a massive volume of stuff (meetings, projects, emails by the ton load - I work for the NHS in the UK), I was so disillusioned and fed up with the inane gazillion bullet journal vlogs that were absolutely no use to me whatsoever. However what I have learnt is that whilst I have no choice other than to be minimalist, I do seem to work well with colour and picked up on your idea of colour coding. I'm about to transition into a new journal and have found your content absolutely awesome - again I would like to thank you for taking the time to produce this content on top of your job! :-) PS I've subscribed and wait with bated breath for future instalments ;-)

I'm so glad I got the Lite version this coming year! I really like the Gantt charts being incorporated in the Monthly. I also like the customizable lists as well as the blank grid pages at the back!

[@LilDivette]

It’s a great planner-hope it works out for you too! 📚👍

[@holly_hobbies4053]

So glad you're back! This was a great review. Just ordered the Lite for my 2020 EDC! :)

[@LilDivette]

Thanks Holly! Hope you love it as much as I do. 😊📚👍

[@heyitsdeb9389]

Nice to see you back-your videos are very interesting and inspiring 😃❤️

[@LilDivette]

Thanks Deb! Glad you enjoyed them. 😊

[@VeganOrganizer]

Happy you're back

[@LilDivette]

Thank you! 😊❤️

[@alexisturnernewluxuryhomes]

Only halfway through this watch and I already love your explanations of the two without going on random tangents.🙊 This is really helpful as I'm trying to decide on a good work planner for 2023 that's not Hobonichi. I'm using Sterling Inks common place planner in B6 for my catch-all. I currently use a stalogy and love the size b6 for personal but its too much setting up of layouts. I'm new to Jibun so I'm a bit hesitant as to witch system to purchase.❤️

The LITE does not fit into the transparent covers, right ? But is its bookblock exactly the same size as the BIZ and STANDARD ? I am wondering if one could trim down the size of the LITE covers to fit into the transparent covers? Like to hear your thoughts. Thanks 😊

[@LilDivette]

The Lite is .25” taller than the Standard-I haven’t used the Biz and am not familiar with the dimensions-so if you don’t mind cutting off that much of the cover, it could fit in the transparent cover. I also think the pages would be fine because it’s around (or less) 1/8” shorter so there shouldn’t be any overhang. HTH and thanks for watching! 😊📚

[@AF-wc4ks]

Welcome back!

[@LilDivette]

Thank you and thanks for watching! 😊

[@tootsfour956]

So good to see you back. I was wondering about the cost of the lite. 😊

[@LilDivette]

Thank you! I bought mine on Jetpens for $27. HTH!

[@ali_yayyy]

Thank you so much for this detailed comparison, I found it really helpful!

[@brklynbrn6033]

Good to see you again. Hope you're well. I miss your watercolor videos.

[@LilDivette]

Awe thanks! I also have a few watercolor videos planned so check back again soon. 😉🎨

[@aci.]

Does the plastic cover (included in the 2019 b6 slim planner) also fit the 2020 lite planner?

[@LilDivette]

Sadly, it doesn’t. The Lite is 1/4” taller than the standard JT-probably because it’s meant to be a standalone soft cover book. HTH!

[@aci.]

@@LilDivette Thank you for your response! I'd have to find a way to cover my new Lite then!

[@LilDivette]

Agreed. I bought a jelly cover for my Lite JT from a seller on Etsy called SaltyKatieCo and I’ve seen other sellers make covers in leather and fabric for it too so you should be able to find something you like.

[@aci.]

@@LilDivette you're the best, thank you for the recommendations!! ❤️

[@All.things.grandish]

Excellent comparison - thank you so much!

[@LilDivette]

You’re welcome, Andi, and thanks for watching! 😊

[@ccephas3]

I’m definitely going back to Jibun Techo I love the updates to the mini. I also forgot the Gantt charts in the front of the book. LOL

[@LilDivette]

Yeah, it’s a great little planner-sometimes I feel it doesn’t get enough credit given all the options it provides. Hope it works for you Carissa! 📚👍

[@cindylee5593]

So happy I found this video, Thank You!

[@LilDivette]

Glad it was helpful, Cindy, and thanks for watching! 😊

[@invitalres]

That's not a perpetual calendar, it is a Yearly Index/Annual Review. It may be useful to focus on the 'perpetual' part, those are without the year written that could be recycled every 7 years or so (every January repeats once every 7 years if I recall correctly).

[@LilDivette]

Thanks (they share similar formats). That’s what happens when you film at 2-3am in the morning! 😂

[@missyamycasillas6300]

So I was wondering if you ended up using your lite? If not would you be interested in reselling to a humble follower. Jet pens is sold out 😑

[@LilDivette]

Hi there! Yes, I ended up using the JT Lite for 2020 because it ended up working out for me; sorry to hear that Jetpens is out of them. There are some sellers on Etsy and eBay that sell JTs (that’s where I bought my previous JTs before Jetpens started carrying them-just make sure to check the seller’s reviews carefully) or you can buy the regular JT Mini and check out my video where I show you how to convert all the preprinted pages (with Japanese writing) to gain 12 additional blank pages. Good luck and hope this helps!

[@justdessely2371]

I use an A5 biz version

[@LilDivette]

I haven’t tried the Biz but heard it’s a great planner. How do you like it?

[@nickkyvictory948]

THIS IS A VERY GOOD VIDEO !

[@LilDivette]

Thanks so much, Nickky! 😊
