Tools for the Hobonichi Weeks

[@JoleeLovesIt]

Thank you for sharing. Also, people need to find the “ playback speed “ button and stop complaining 😊

[@jenifermerrill]

I agree! 😊

[@samplans]

People have TikTok attention spans.

[@jennifersullivan7909]

Jenika is an awesome person! Love her covers.

[@samplans]

Yes she is, and her covers are beautiful!

[@barbarastubblefield7075]

That cover is gorgeous!! Purple is one of my favorite colors. 😊

[@samplans]

I’m so excited to use it!

[@saltwaterandlime]

I'm struggling a bit for this upcoming year because i just accepted a new job. It's exciting but it's thrown my planner plans into chaos! I love being able to see how you and others choose to set up different sizes

[@samplans]

Congratulations on the new job! I hope you figure out your planner with your life change. 🧡

[@rostinfarm]

I put those orange tabs on my Hobonichi Weeks, they work great. Really enjoyed your video 😊

[@samplans]

Thank you!! I haven’t run into anyone who’s actually used them!

[@Shirley61581]

Loved your idea to add adhesive pen holder to the pencil board!

[@samplans]

Thank you!

[@inksplat]

17:07 I use those wave tabs in my cousin, but I haven’t tried them in a weeks. They do hold up, though!!

[@samplans]

Thanks for the confirmation!!

[@Vonnij]

I use my Hobonichi as a work planner. I used Avery small tabs- a perfect fit. 6 months in 1 color the last 6 months in another. Just remember to space the tabs - they will fit!. I will upload an image if needed.😊😊

[@samplans]

Thank you!! I think I get the guts, I’ll use the orange ones. I’m still pondering.

[@planningwithjohn]

Fawn - the color of the dot marker.

[@samplans]

Bless you! I almost had it, and then almost looked it up when editing and then just ran out of time. 😅

[@planningwithjohn]

@@samplans the only reason I know, is that is the only dot marker I have. 😂

[@samplans]

@@planningwithjohnhaha!! Love it!

[@hawkeyegirl2003]

Oooooo, tab-gate 2025! I was filled with regret when I used tabs in maybe 2021. Mine were thick and pulled/tore the paper. Yours look like a much better choice.

[@samplans]

But would you go back to tabs if the quality was better or do you just like yours better without them?

[@jenifermerrill]

Great idea for your workouts!

[@samplans]

Thanks!

[@JadeOwl85]

I’d love to see a video of your stationery bag that you carry around your house! I’m trying to put one together myself 😊

[@samplans]

I’m afraid it’s not very glamorous! It’s actually a Trader Joe’s pickle tote at the moment!

[@JadeOwl85]

@ still wanna see it!!!

[@melissaandrews1603]

Ok, I’m interested, watched other planner videos. But, Girl, I just now started carrying a notebook in my handbag just for notes! I’m like extremely green to the planner world, but I am interested, really I am! Ok, halfway through the video and I’m thinking about getting a simple, very simple planner, for birthdays, Dr appointments, and events. So, I guess I just need to get started for 2025. Maybe I’ll start with a pocket planner??

[@sistergoldenhair0727]

have you tried the mitsubishi uni-one pen? they are so cute! short and very nice gel/ball point hybrid and available in all different sizes.

[@samplans]

The little chubby one? Yes, I have several but they all skip!

[@marcyodell3373]

Would watch a 5 min video or a 5 hour video and love them all the same if posted by you, friend 😘

[@April-vr3gr]

I use the metal index clips just like you do. I used monthly tabs this year and did not like it at all. I didn’t find myself using them and felt they made my Weeks look messy.

[@samplans]

Ooh! What kind did you use? I’m strongly considering the ones from Hobonichi because of the curved nature, but I’m also worried they will make me crazy the entire year. 😅

[@jjensen8509]

Doesn’t your Weeks have trouble closing even with that small amount of washi and stickers? I do t use many but when you just close the book it is still at a 45* angle and it’s so frustrating g

[@samplans]

Mine closes fine, but maybe that’s helped by usually having in some type of cover or closure system, so it’s trained to stay shut?

[@April-vr3gr]

@@samplans I got mine from someone on Etsy. They were meant for the Weeks but not the Hobonichi brand. I don’t want to discourage you but mine did make me crazy all year. 🙃

[@jenifermerrill]

Maybe they make clear adhesive pen loops

[@samplans]

Never thought of that! I gave up on finding mine and just ordered. 😂

[@cindiirwin8853]

Have you tried a PLG rancher as a planner cover?

[@samplans]

Actually, I haven’t!

[@ghostyplans]

I don’t use a weeks, but I want to see all the things you love. ❤😂

[@samplans]

I’m not sure if I love enough stuff to make a video. 😂 I might be wrong though.

[@waggermama]

I use paper index tabs and they definitely get a bit worn and bent over the year (I just find the different colours help me, but ymmv)

[@waggermama]

And the plum cover with the pistachio is 💜💜💜

[@samplans]

Thank you!!

[@danieladececco7042]

Purple

[@solascripturamjc9681]

Not sure why people would ask why track the weather? It's obvious to me, Lol

[@samplans]

I’d think so, but apparently not. 😅

[@jjensen8509]

Make more videos ! 😁

[@samplans]

What kind of video would you like to see?

[@ebchristenson]

This timing is funny -- I put the blue version of those Hobonichi tabs on my 2025 Hobonichi a few weeks ago but removed them today! (They came off just fine with Un-Du, if you decide you don't like them.)

[@samplans]

Thank you!! Why didn’t you like them?

[@ebchristenson]

@ I found them hard to put on - thought they were even but they were a little off. And I just use a cover on cover, with a page keeper in the back to keep it closed, and they got a little mashed. Having yours in an additional cover will probably prevent that issue though!
