planner set up | switching to hobonichi, journal with me

Hello friends! Hang out with me while I move into my new Hobonichi Cousin for the rest of the year. Lots of tangents and rambles, but I'll explain why I'm leaving the Sterling Ink Common Planner.
Feel free to mute and use me for body doubling :) Hope you're spending time in your notebooks today.

"I'm an adult. I can handle this." That killed me. I go back and forth with the cousin, but I have been using it as a journal most of the year so far.

[@Simplygingeynails]

I really thought I wouldn’t use it this year, but something about it keeps pulling me back.

I’m not alone! Looking to switch and thinking about Hobonichi Tech. This video is exactly what I needed! TYFS!❣️✨

[@Simplygingeynails]

Glad it was helpful! Hoping your switch goes well ❤️

[@dezs-diary]

What a lovely video to watch while I catch up in my journals! I also can’t resist the cousin 🥹🤭♥️

[@Simplygingeynails]

Happy to be a part of your journaling!

welcome to the hobonichi family ♥︎♥︎

[@Simplygingeynails]

Thank you! Very happy to be here

My mistake that I did with the Common Planner is I got the planner itself and a weeks section.... which looking back, i dont think i needed the weeks since it overlaps with what is in the planner. (i also somehow skimmed through and didn't notice that everything was vertical. ) So there's that overlap for me... and the monthly sections i don't get to use since I now have 2. It's only June but here I am already contemplating what I should use next year...

Hello there~ your video popped up on my feed and I must say I was so pleasantly surprised to hear my name mentioned! 🥹 It is so beautiful to see how you've gotten inspired from some of my planner-ideas and the system of the Hobonichi memopads for commonplacing~ Thank you for the mention! It really seems that you feel at home in the cousin! 💌

[@Simplygingeynails]

Ah so amazing that you saw this! Thank you so much for inspiring this change

[@megjwatkins]

I'm setting up book 2 of my 2024 Common Planner, and I'm loving your rambles :) thanks for keeping me company! But also you should definitely read Emma - it's the best one! It's been one my favourite novels since the first time I read it when i was like 15 years old!

[@Simplygingeynails]

I know I need to! I’ve tried several and can’t make it past the first chapter. But I will argue Persuasion is the best one forever!

[@longtimetnbcfan]

I myself ended back up in a Cousin this year too. Its where I have Planner/Journaling peace. Im able to Memory Keep since I have a bad Long Term Memory

[@Simplygingeynails]

That’s so great! It’s amazing that so many of us keep coming back to the Hobonichi

[@longtimetnbcfan]

@@Simplygingeynails I know Im just so in love with it cause it really has everything I need in once place and I can only keep up with one Journal/Planner at a time, Ive tried two and I just cant do it, Right now Im back tracking in my Cousin from my A6 cause I had it first, then realized I needed the bigger space

[@raghadzakaria6052]

I absolutely loved your video! I watched it while doing my nails and I must say I was too so focused on making my journal “pretty” that I ended up not using it much and looking back at my old filled out cousin, I dont think it really matters as long as you are using it. I feel looking at a filled journal is more satisfying than looking at a half empty journal where some pages trying to look pretty with stickers and weird layouts that im not used to. Also, I was thinking of trying a different planner for my work instead of my hobonichi weeks but after seeing your video I dont think I will. The little details hobonichi include in their techos are so well thought out that I dont think another company will beat it, but would love to hear recommendations if you have❤

[@Simplygingeynails]

Absolutely agree! I’ll occasionally stick down stickers or write a title but anything more than that and it just discourages me from using it

[@whimsycheer362]

I am so so so picky about fonts for everything! I totally understand lol

[@Simplygingeynails]

Glad I’m not alone 😂

[@vickiTHESECRET]

Is this the documentary you were referring to? If not, can you please point me in the right direction. I would LOOOOOOVE to watch it. It sounds like something I would really enjoy. Thanks!

[@Simplygingeynails]

I’m not sure if you tried to link something but the documentary is called Helvetica and came out in 2007 and was directed by Gary Hustwit. It looks like you can rent it on Amazon and apple.

[@vickiTHESECRET]

@@Simplygingeynails Whoopsies. Completely left the link off. Yup that is what I found on IMDB. Thanks a ton. This will be my weekend watch.

[@Hello_missy]

Did you read the Hurricane Wars? Its lovely and book 2 comes out this year I believe!

[@Simplygingeynails]

I haven’t read that one yet! I’ll add it to my TBR

[@kennakamp93]

Great video! Who was the first creator you mentioned?? I couldn’t catch their name and want to check out their content as well. Thank you!

[@TheCommonCorner]

Answering on behalf of @simplygingey~ :) I think she mentioned Megan Rhiannon~ she has some beautiful videos on journaling!

[@Simplygingeynails]

Megan Rhiannon!

[@sherig1376]

Oh so happy I found this comment! I thought it was Mick and Rayan and of course it wasn’t coming up on KZbin 😅
