Planning Update: New Hobonichi Cousin

[@sheridanburns]

So happy to see paper back in your system! I’ve missed the videos. I absolutely love my hobo cousin!

[@kimberlypearson2018]

I use my cousin for work but switched to a6 because of the portability I love it!

I am so excited you are back to paper planning for personal planning.

It's not the same with digital stickers because it's an entirely different sensory experience. It's literally *not the same* for your hands and your ears, even though it might *look* the same for your eyes. The tactile sense in particular is receiving very different input with digital devices vs paper. So your yearning for a paper planner with "real" stickers is not weird at all :)

I go digital for work too, in Onenote. There’s something about hand-writing that feels best for personal stuff.

I agree, I do digital in OneNote as well. The apple pencil or my laptop stylus fills that need for me!

I‘m sticking to my planning system that I‘ve been using for about a year now: planning in weeklies + daily To Do lists. I couldn‘t go digital because physical pens and markers and stickers are the things that make planning fun for me. Good luck with the Cousin! Personally, I found the daily pages a bit overwhelming but I believe it can be a wonderful planner if it‘s your catch-all and you commit to it.

I use weeks of cousin to write meals and keep track on bottom where husband is working he is a sub contractor. Monthly vertical I write bills and dot as paid journal in daily pages

I guess that it should be interesting to know how do you to link your work planning system and your personal planning system. Do these two planners meet at some point??

[@jenaeUS777]

I have an ongoing personal battle with wanting to do all the planning and crafting and have all the things and then I want to declutter and purge and be more of a minimalist. I like the idea of planning and journaling but then I feel overwhelmed with trying to manage all the inventory without it becoming clutter. What do I do with all the used planners and journals? I’m thinking digital planning might be a happy medium for me.

I have a similar dilemma in that planning on paper gives me focus and calm (deffo not creative though ), but digital has huge advantages - sharing, searching, integrating with mail etc. I’ve also bought a Hobonichi cousin - but for work so I use it for planning and daily notes etc, and record the key happenings in onenote. It means I have to keep a digital and paper calendar in sync - but that’s automatic for me now and I don’t even notice. I also quite like wrapping the day up at work by just taking note of what’s happened and recording the key points in onenote - I use a page per week, so creating a template is easy. Sometimes I take meeting notes directly into onenote and sometimes on paper - I use a separate note book for that - then if its something I want to record or share , I’ll summarise in onenote. It sounds a lot of duplication, but the info really sinks in that way - menopause anyone?! Sounds like you’ve found the outlet you need for creative side, whereas I need the calm and space away from screens. One size never truly fits all :-)

For March I’m trying disc bound so I can have one big book that holds everything!
