My 2025 Planner & Journal System 😊

[@lissah.1925]

Personally I don't mind the repetitiveness at all, it doesn't feel repetitive to me. I love seeing how your planners function and change between videos. It helps me to gain ideas on how to use my own planners

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Ahh thank you for the reassurance!!! I'm glad to hear it's somewhat helpful 😅

I agree! I love her videos so much that I see every content differently. I can use some ideas too and the Emotis are fun to look at!

Agreed! I find them very comforting to watch and I always get a new idea 😀❤ Keep up the great work! I love your style.

Amen 🙏🏽

[@Hello_missy]

The repetitiveness is nice for me. I also tend to do it the same way and i usually listen along with you while i do my own planning. Its like hanging out with a friend and planning together.

[@han_nahh7]

Dont worry about it being repeated, its a superb example of consistency ❤😊

Aww thank you so much!! 💕

[@janeramsey6864]

I agree!

[@stareenafraser]

@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo you are very welcome, and as always thanks for sharing :)

[@alesswonderland]

When it comes to planner content, I like when a person uses the same planner system for many years. For me, it shows more growth and confidence rather than changing planners all the time. Once you find a system, stick with it. It's more intersting to see how you play within that system than changing it if you don't need it.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Ahh thank you so much Aless 🥹💕

[@aleckta]

Honestly, my ADHD brain is super impressed that you’ve been so consistent with journaling for such a long time. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your journal setup videos-they keep me motivated to keep experimenting and find my own setup 😊 I’m so excited to try the Hobonichi Cousin for the first time in 2025!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much!!! Good luck and I hope you love the Hobonichi Cousin ^_^

[@literary_ghosts]

you're my comfort planner content creator - your consistency inspires me. you've inspired me to journal more and reignited my love for Hobonichi too :)

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Ahh this made me smile 😊 Thank you and keep writing!!

[@perevision]

Hi Helen, your consistency and planning style is what put you in my top five channels even though I am a super latecomer and just found you. The steady way you work through your days, whether high moments or stressful situations, is not only soothing but an inspiration. Even your hyper-specific stickers really awakened me to the appeal of multiple small planner stickers along with large decorative ones! Like you said about your habits, your videos show us how planning can be achievable and disciplined. Thank you!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Ahh thank you so much!!! This means a lot 🥹 I'm glad you're enjoying my channel!!

[@dandelionss_dream]

one of the best discoveries i’ve made with my ADHD is that i need to have something consistent yet also consistent changing. I have several things i do as a morning routine but i always change up how i do them, i have a journal i use every day, but i change up my entry types, etc It’s been something to help me get out creativity and inspiration while not spiraling into feeling like everything is unsteady, hence why i love seeing your videos. You being consistency in your planner while also changing and adapting

[@dandelionss_dream]

also a note that someone on the FB group makes a printable version of the prompts with the monthly theme and you can print it to fit the “cover” page for the month in daily pages !!! if anyone doesn’t want to write them out i highly recommend that!!

[@dandelionss_dream]

omg i keep having more thoughts but always ALWAYS remember that when you set a goal make sure it is something you can do on your worst days. (or easily back fill the next day) Never feel bad to track “normal” things like just taking your medicine! If you need that little dopamine hit.. do it!!! If you have to track symptoms you have (from brain fog, tummy things, “vegetables” (iykyk), to menstruation, etc( DO IT!!! never be ashamed of being a human. Our notebooks can be amazing if we let ourselves use it to the fullest

[@WendyInMD]

Hi, Helen! Great content, as always. Something is always different: doodles, stickers, commentary…We’re just happy to hear from you every week! 🥰 Stay warm and have a great Sunday and week!

Thank you so much Wendy 🥹 Have a wonderful week ahead!!

[@kathyfannon7563]

I love the consistency of your planners and the repetitiveness. I've had to unfollow a few ladies because I loved what they were doing but then were constantly changing the planners they were using - "THIS is planner peace," they would say, until the next week. You're always consistent and inspirational, Helen. I love you for that. Merry Christmas, sweet woman!

[@marykatherinechadwick2518]

Don't worry about being repetitive or coming up with new material all the time. You and your videos are comforting, they bring a sense of security, and your authenticity and realness are why so many of us love and support you. You inspire us. Just keep doing what you are doing.

[@kristentollan]

hi helen! I just wanted to say that I love that you're sticking with the cousin for 2025 -- I am too! I used a variety of planners throughout 2024 as my second full year in the planner world, but the hobonichi cousin is just my favourite. in regards to having "fresh" or repetitive content, I personally watch your videos because 1) I love seeing the way you use all your new TCMC designs; 2) they are incredibly soothing and great for body doubling along with you and 3) I like YOU as a creator and am interested in the things you plan as part of you life, not just how you plan them. I hope this helps you feel a little more confident!! and also -- if you need something to index for april 5th (as you mentioned) it happens to be my birthday hehe! 🥰

I also enjoy the repetition! I've been so inspired (and influenced!) by your Hobonichi spreads. Grateful for the glimpse you provide into your planners each week: it's like the happiness of seeing your friend's familiar face but also watching them evolve and grow over time.

What ever works for you works for you. I have a reading journal which has been my constant over the past 4 years, I have used the same notebook from micheals for the past 4 years to write down all of my readings and there is still enough space to work on it for years to come

[@diannakemi]

I’m sorry but that recipe journal is absolutely genius! I have been looking for a way to transfer recipes I love into written form and this is it! Brilliant!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Hahaha thank you!!! I was quite pleased when I got the idea. Good luck!!

[@chloemeier1622]

To be honest, I really love the consistency you have with the cousin ! Like I know that your channel is "pro- hobo cousin" and it's really great because you motive me to stick with mine and not to "planner hoop" too much ! I love the consistency of watching one of your video and knowing that you will be in your cousin as your main book ! I enjoy watching people changing books, but I end up so influenced by the "planner hooping" lol

[@muuskunen]

It gives people confident to stay consistent with their own planners when they see a content creator show the example. I got courage to hop in to try a simple bujo after seeing you use it. I've enjoyed it, but it's time to go back to my own creative way to keep a planner after I finish this bujo this week or next week. Only a few pages left in my TCMC bujo.

[@SarraCannon]

Oh wow the techo as a recipe keeper is brilliant! ❤

Last comment ...I promise. I'm using a Happy Planner classic for weekly spreads and to dos. I'm using a Hibino for journaling. Less deco and more feelings. The Kinbor is for memory planning. Plus, I have several other notebooks/journals that are for fun. ❤

Hehehe it really is the cutest cover

[@aprilandbella6738]

I love this video and your so soothing and thought provoking for my brain. I keep buying planners and am not consistent in using but I want to be. I think I got caught up in the commercial side. You are helping me see the creative but useable meaningful side. If you feel it’s repetitive then it’s probably exactly what’s needed because to be successful at something we have to have it repeatable and tweaksble for our needs and that’s exactly what you are doing. In my book that is success. Well done thank you for sharing. Do not apologize for being perfectly you. I respect you for you. You have a gift for this and you are definitely helping my old brain learn a new trick.❤

Ahh this made me happy to read!! Thank you so much April for your kind compliments. Good luck and keep writing!!

Last year I decided to try out the amandarachlee doodle planner and fell in love with it. I actually bought the 2025 doodle journal which I am excited about. I also use a regular dotted bullet journal for my monthly kits. I kind of like the repetitiveness. It’s very soothing to me. I love all of your videos and how you plan as well.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Aw that is awesome!!! Her doodle books are so so cute hehe

[@kaizzzi]

hi helen! fellow adhd-er here who also needs a ton of repetitiveness in order to remember the "thing" i'm supposed to be doing right now. I knew something was missing from my system as I was still forgetting the things I needed to work on even though I have written them down on a physical notebook. I kind of adapted your adhd planner system and tweaked it into a sort of a daily catch all notebook where at the end of the day, I migrate the random thoughts/reminders that I have written down and migrate the tasks i kind of ignored for some reason. Really am happy and thankful that I stumbled on your channel! You really helped me figure out what sort of planning style works for me.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

I love how you tweaked that system!!! Thank you so much for sharing as well

[@thepluripotentmedico]

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

[@Penelope222]

Around 10:36 you mention blotter paper being an extra step, and I wanted to add to this! I don’t know if people that don’t have ADHD will appreciate how much difference removing one tiny step can make for us! I struggled to make my bed for years, couldn’t commit to it. Then at 40 I removed the top sheet and although it means washing my quilt cover more often, it CHANGED my morning! I now religiously make my bed! Also, swapping from a laundry hamper with a lid to a laundry hamper without a lid meant clothes aren’t on the floor, etc. Sometimes it’s such a tiny thing that we feel ashamed, but it’s just our brains ❤️

[@jessicaabad5424]

Using the sushi planner as a recipe journal is a really clever idea! It is already organized and it has the column for the ingredients and the section for the instructions😄

Watched this video while doing stickering :) so relaxing! Thanks Helen for the planner walkthrough :) I'll be using the A5 muji vertical planner as memory keeping/planning, a small hobonichi plain notebook for work notes (similar to the planner you use to write out work tasks), a beautiful notebook for journaling and my 5-year hobonichi for daily highlights. Here's to an amazing 2025 to you and the tater fam too!

I know you were initially not super into talking about it but the little notebook with the running to do list is a really neat little hack and I appreciate you sharing it. It seems a bit like the original bullet journaling method but simpler. I have been trying it out for about 2 weeks now and I quite like it. Of course, like a person with ADHD, I had an unused Hobo Weeks size notebook lying around I could use up so that's helpful too!

[@slastenushkaslast3402]

(Also, I'm relatively new to your channel - few months - and your videos have been very helpful in finally finding a system that makes sense and that works for me!)

[@Jen39x]

Enjoyed this so much. After many years using Cousin (7) for mostly work I’m giving up on it. It’s the most wonderful layout but I just can’t write that small anymore and be able to read it - age gets all of us. I have always redrawn weekly into a vertical to make area useable. My solution is to use the Archer & Olive planner for monthly and weekly layouts and a dot journal that coordinates for daily use. I work from home since COVID and won’t likely go back as they sold the office building. Portable is no longer a requirement. I’m going to try a small monthly paper carry calendar for making appointments on run or maybe I should just go fully digital for that. Most of it is online anyway

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

You don't have to ever worry about being repetitive, because life ebbs and flows in and out of repetitive no matter what planner you're using! :) And honestly, it's nice to see how you use your framework daily and when you have random life events!

Could you make a weeks bookmark with paper taped on it as blotter paper? Idk if that makes sense. For me, I never use blotter paper either.

Thank you, Helen, for sharing your inspiring planners and notebooks. First, I want to remind you of a very important holiday in August - YOUR BIRTHDAY! You share a birthday with my husband, a good friend, and Lucille Ball! I haven't set up anything in my Hobonichi Cousin, but I am setting up a reading journal for 2025. It's just an A5 spiral bound notebook from Clarefontaine. I copied and pasted thumbnails of all the books I read for the past three years so I can look back. In 2025, I'll also do the cut and paste thing, but I will finally be keeping notes to remind me of what I read and I will be using a variation of the CAWPILE method of rating them (characters, atmosphere, writing, plot, intrigue, logic, and enjoyment).

I don’t mind the repetition, as you call it. I like watching someone who has figured out what works for them and just keeps doing it.

The more I looked into ADHD (as my son is autistic with suspected ADHD), the more I realised they were traits I had and the notebook you have for your lists (to help your ADHD) was something I’ve done since I was a kid! Your videos help me because you use the same planner, because you follow a pattern and because I can empathise A LOT with things you say and do. So this channel has helped me immensely! My daughter has become obsessed with “the little dudes” so I bought her the emoti necklace as a Christmas gift for her. The channel and the shop have helped me more than I can explain… Hope you guys have a wonderful break and holiday!

You inspired me to get together a reading journal. Goodreads is so spoiler phobic that sometimes my reviews aren't enough to help me remember what I read.

Omg yay!! Good luck and happy reading!

Dear Helen, I don't want to sound too REPETITIVE, but your content is great! I have said it before.. and I will continue to say it! Loud and as clear as I can! I want to let you know that thanks to you. I decided to have two planners for 2025. I am still working on what it is going to look like, but I am excited for some of the plans I have for them and because I for sure will steal a bunch of your ideas. Also, I listen to the robotic French version of you.. lol.. This was actually pretty good and translated fairly accurately what you were saying. Love this new feature, but you sound way better in your original voice! Today was a great day for me, on top of your video which is always one of the highlights of my Sundays, I received one of my latest orders that you had the audacity to fill yourself. I don't really know what to say, this was the first time that I had this privilege. I might have to send you an email to share some of my personal thoughts, but your super nice note and kindness was overwhelming. I decided to dedicate one page or maybe even two to you, which I think, I will add to my upcoming email if I have the courage to share. Lol. I decided that I will probably listen to one of your Spotify playlists for inspiration while I do this page(s). No pressure! Sorry for the long message as always. So many things to say! Have a great week and take care of yourself!
