Team Yoseka's 2023 Planner Tour: Hobonichi, Traveler's, Hightide, PAL, and More!

[@blindaurora]

Listen, the baby nostalgia is real they grow and change so much in the first years, and it's all wonderful ❤️ 😅

[@madelineshaw5378]

Authan's timeline system is so interesting! would definitely love to see it in the shop for next year 👀

[@pleestationeryteahouse]

Authan’s system is so cool and I like his drawings in the weeks!

[@iheartmarie]

Most motivating video to launch a successful planner stash for 2023!

[@pleestationeryteahouse]

Daisy, it’s so nice to see your planner spreads as your handwriting is familiar with the thoughtful notes you write for your Yoseka customers. :)

[@pleestationeryteahouse]

Christine, thanks for sharing your 5 year and I am happy to see you accomplished the goal of making a fabulous bookmark for Yoseka which is one of my favorites!

[@conor_olo]

Thank you for setting this up Ashley! This was so fun to see everyones planners - would love to see a check in mid year to see how everyone is doing in their planners :)

[@cerealnana]

I plan to turn my five year into a ten year. I will just continue on the right side in the same way I've been doing the left. One thing I started doing to help me keep up with the entries is using bullet points instead of full sentences when I can get away with it.

[@imcatnappen]

the thumbnail is so precious!!!! love yoseka

[@leocarney2605]

Yaaas Twitch Techo Kaigi Train Shoutout! :D Chooo choooo!

[@Yoseka]

Hahaha thanks for giving us the idea!!

[@bearypinkparfait]

Authan's idea for using a book for art challenges is so cool! Imagine being able to flip through all the art challenges you participated in throughout the year, plus seeing how your art evolved & stayed consistent. Ink-tober would look so interesting ✨️☺️

[@Yoseka]

So true!! Can't wait to do a flip through with him at the end of the year!

[@GeorginaTheLibrarian]

Authan! Try out a pilot custom 74 with a soft fine nib for your drawing in the hobonichi, it’s so expressive I love it, I pair it with platinum carbon ink

[@rachplans]

33:19 Authan’s planner is amazing and would work so well for anyone that is in tech/does sprint planning. I would love to use this planner but no idea where to find it.

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

omg yay Ashley you are adding a hobo weeks! and Daisy! what is this memo book?! I NEED THIS! Also I think also decided that I'm going to get a 5 year Midori, I'm hoping I keep up with it. It was so fun seeing everyone's planners I was looking forward to when this video was going to come out! Christine's handwriting and planner is soooo NEAT I am so jealous! May's TN is how I want my TN vertical insert to turn out over the years! and that Kitta tip is genius! Love that Hightide planner that Ashley has, I really wanted to get it but I have literally accumulated too many planners for the near year! 6 years in the Art Print for Authan! wow that's amazing love that you have you know this planner really well and have built a system of what works for you in this planner, that's my ultimate goal! Your artwork is sooo beautiful! Amy and Christine's color coding is sooo on point, I'm going to do the same! That cover you got on ebay Amy love it and I'm also going to do a separate blank notebook for journaling! Where's Neil's planners?! hehehe Happy Holidays Yoseka Team!!

[@TristanTarwater]

Everyone's planners are so great and the advice to not give up if you fall out is so important. I'm using the PAL planner for the first time this year and it's really working out well! I use the right side for scheduled tasks/appointments/blocking out time and the left for daily tasks. Still trying to figure out the monthly pages but generally going great. Really love how stamp washi fits in the columns, haha

[@dickieangenson2236]

Christine, I use the right side for spillover! I love your key with the deco rush!

[@heathergleiser]

Hobonichi Weeks for work and Cousin for personal stuff. I tried a Leuchtturm1917 last year and this year but want something more structured. My roommate bought me the same Weeks as Ashley, I love that cover and can’t wait to unwrap it on Christmas.

[@desleyjaneplans]

Great video. Loved seeing everyone’s plans for 2023. Would love to know May’s KZbin channel, and if anyone else has one as well.

[@Yoseka]

May's KZbin channel is @bulgogi_princess :)

[@desleyjaneplans]

@@Yoseka thank you, have just subscribed 😍

[@HeidiRaatz]

Ahhh! So many great ideas! Thank you team Yoseka for sharing your planner strategies, both what worked for you and where you saw room to change it up for the year ahead. Especially loved Christine's beautiful techo system key and May's use of kitta washi to disguise/cover up. Nicer than correction tape!! Was it May who gave us "logger vs. planner"? Genius. (I'm definitely more on the logger side of that continuum.) Re: 5-year diaries, I'm on my second MacGyvered A6 Stálogy, having begun in 2017. What's been key for me, for that daily practice, is to set aside devoted time to reflect and write. For me, this is at the close of the day. Think highlights, a summary. When you come around to this day again that's often all that's needed to spark the memories. And enjoy!!

[@foggy_footsteps]

I LOVED every minute of this! Ashley, your voice is so comforting and joyful. Daisy, I teared up right along with you. Christine, the title page of your TN insert is gorgeous - love the way you incorporated Zig dots! Wow, May's monthlies! (Bonus points for those "white-out washi" strips!) I love Alex's use of the Ro-Biki in her TN, not to mention her color coordination. Authan, your drawings are next level. I too have the mon oncle and would appreciate your opinion on what the best medium would be to add a touch of color to that canvas-type cover. (I normally wouldn't do something as blasphemous as marring a Hobo cover but the Itami drawings just seem to invite a bit of coloring in.) Lastly, Amy: I also have and am continuing to use my gorgeous Shaun Tan A6 cover. (I LOVE that interior color.) I have some pretty weird dreams. I mean, don't laugh (or do), but Gojira has made a few appearances in my dreams, and this cover reminds me of the effect those dreams have on me. So, this houses my dream techo. I'll use the aforementioned Weeks for appts/budget/health. And I treated myself to a minä perhonen zippered cover with the inaugural English edition of the Cousin, which I will use as a copybook, if you will, for favorite quotes/lyrics/passages (a great way to play with fountain pen inks), and for sentimental paraphernalia, ponderous musings, etc. Like you, Ashley, I am not so much a planner as I am a logger. Thank you for sharing, everyone! 💚✌️

[@itsmeLori]

Was really looking forward to this video! Thanks for doing it. Visual life planner looks very interesting!!!

[@leejournals]

Gasping at Authan's Weeks! 🥰 I'll be using a Traveler's Notebook and Hobonichi Cousin (avec books), same as in 2022!

[@HannaChoe]

I had my kid around the same time, and I did the same thing! I kept a Weeks in 2022 and am switching to the 5 year for 2023. I'm so excited to see how it looks in 5 years' time!

[@withlove_nikki]

I love seeing everyone’s setups, it’s super helpful for inspiration! every year I think about getting a planner, but they never seem to work for me; it’s like Ashley said - I’m more of a logger than a planner. what I did this year was hand draw a monthly calendar in whatever journal/diary I was using at the moment, and that’s about all I needed since my life is mostly boring and uneventful 😅 I’d like to keep a similar system next year, I just can’t stop looking at all these planners haha

[@zap021]

Love seeing everyone's set ups! Great inspiration for my planner. And loved seeing the new faces!

[@annamalecki8983]

Yay I always look forward to these! Exciting to see new faces too

[@marachristian8726]

Such a fun video--so nice to see everyone's faces and their different setups and systems! So many ideas and styles! Just love your shop and your video content!

[@ally4056]

Thank you for sharing your techo kaigi with us!!! :)

[@imcatnappen]

totally agree with christine! for those working on the 5yr don’t give up if you don’t fill out every day! just pick it back up it’s OK! the right page of my 5yr is a mixed bag right now😂 sometimes i have more i want to write so i’ll continue on there or there’s a picture (usually of my cat) or a piece of ephemera i want to put in there. i recommend checking out james burke creative on youtube he has a few videos of his 5yr and they’re so inspirational ❤

[@Higgler16]

For the first year in a long time I'm only using one planner! I'm going to keep it with me wherever I go, just like a little buddy ❤️. I have an A5 Kinbor weekly in a Rotorfaden cover.

[@kikaykrafts]

Christine, I’m with you in your sentiments about your five-year diary. Just use it when you feel like it, no stress. I think it’ll also help us highlight good (and bad) days as we go through the years. ❤

[@elcapitana]

ahhh I wanted the deco rush for media, games, etc too, but they were limited edition and by the time I saw them...🤧 I like my 5 year because if I skip some days... I still have 4 years to put something on that page! It's the only journal type thing I use, so I've used the right side for: entry overflow from the left side, thanksgiving menus, concert setlists, a full page journal entry on travel I did that day including photo stickers (backfilled after the trip), minor scrapbooking, writing samples to test out ink. If I was any good at drawing, I would probably do that...

[@AgatheWiesner]

I really enjoy watching this kind of video, and I read Christine's blog post about how she used the TN vertical the year before, sooo cool, I would love so peak through the year of how the planners come along ^^ And tips and trick discovered like May said about the masking tape white out ^^. Thank you again for such interesting content sending love from France 💌

[@Yoseka]

Thanks Agathe! We will be doing a mid-year planner update this year :)

[@melissahidalgo8639]

I loved this soooo much! thank you! now I want all the planners. :)

[@Tara-du4sl]

I love everyone’s planners! You guys have given me lots of inspiration. Thank you Yoseka! 📔

[@heatherbryant4527]

I loved this video! So great to see how everyone is going to be using their planners in the upcoming year. Authan - you are an amazing artist!! And I would love to see the planner you use in the store next year as an option. The gant charts would be perfect for my work projects.

[@v60please90]

You all have beautiful planners!

[@momhorse1699]

I loved seeing all your planners and how you use them! May, could you turn the TN Weekly Horizontal so that you can use it in the vertical layout that you prefer?

[@creatifnomad]

Thank you for sharing your planners.😍 It's interesting to see what worked or didn't. For my 5yr techo right pages, I print and stick on photos for special occasions or write interesting news headlines, and sometimes note purchases so I can remember when the warranty expires. Motivated to hold my techo kaigi soon. 😊

[@lunar7160]

Thank you to everyone for sharing their planners! Literally enjoyed seeing every single person’s planner. I also found it amazing that despite you all working in a stationery store filled with all the options everyone is able to restrain themselves to only 2-3 planners. Whereas in the planner community (myself included) it’s so common to be trying to use 5+ planners because of all the options… and we aren’t even physically surrounded by all the planners like you all are. 😅😂 Would definitely be interested in seeing the gantt chart type planner that Authan uses and also just how to exactly use that type of planner.

[@stewartobrien7447]

Just received my latest package from Yoseka, which included some Dominant Industry "Downpour." Weird to see Alex on the video given that just 15 minutes ago I was reading a handwritten "thank you" note in her fantastic script! Always a class operation, Team Yoseka!

[@Yoseka]

Thanks Stewart!! Alex's notes are always the sweetest!

[@connieanderson4164]

Another great video! It was fun to get a sneak peek of your planners and how you use them. Each one of you have inspired me in different ways. This video came out just in time because I'm currently setting up my Hobonichi Weeks and Cousin and I'm going to incorporate some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing!!

[@NeverEndingKarla]

Just got my first Traveler’s Notebook Pocket after years of digital planning with hopes of living a more analog life. I’m so glad I found this channel because I’ve learned so maybe neat tricks and tools, and I’m eager to start planning and capturing thoughts and memories on paper in 2023!

[@offline._archive]

This year i have more than 15 planners 😂 so i’ve been super careful to not overbuy planners like last year. Now i have hobonichi techo a6, weeks, 5-year, molekine daily a6, Marks storageit, hightide (the bunny cover one), travelers notebook monthly and vertical weekly. I think i will swap between them to find what system suits me the most. I love the process of experimentation. 😊

[@beritbunny]

Super-interesting! ☺️ Lovely seeing everyone looking to the future happily with stationery! ☺️❤️

[@GeorginaTheLibrarian]

Im super planner confused this year, I’m starting a new job soon and I just don’t know what I’ll need. For the five year Christine is so right about not getting every day filled out, for some of this year I used the right hand side to log my thoughts as I was reading the daily stoic, I found that really good. I’ve thought for 2023 I’ll maybe keep track of what I was reading as I’m trying to read consistently. I’ve basically thought about tracking habits on the 5 year instead of annual, as I think it would be interesting to see over several years.

[@michellealdrich]

So inspiring 🤗 TFS and Happy 2023 everyone!

[@Jessieannnwade]

This was so fun to see everyone's planner set ups! Last year I had the High Tide Les Agenda planner and it made me realize I love weekly block layouts, but I wanted something a little bigger this year. I also used a TN with a weekly Jibun insert and monthly insert for work, and a Hobonichi a6 notebook for journaling (as I love Hobonichi but I'm awful with dailies haha). This year, I got excited without thinking fully, ha, and I got both the PAL planner and the OURS Research Project Journal - so I decided I'll use PAL for personal planning, and the Research journal for focused hobbies (like learning a new language, art project planning, etc). I then also got the mon oncle Hobonichi Weeks, and I think I'm going to use it for work planning. And I have my Hobonichi a6 notebook with fun covers that I just use year-round now for journaling. Yes, it's a lot and we'll see how this goes haha. Thank you Ashley, Daisy, and everyone else for showing us all of yours! Such great ideas. :)

[@SunshineFL]

Hello. I will be using my very first Hobonichi weeks for my personal / social journal as it is a two person household . It is the same one that Authen will be using.

[@KathyLop1956]

I am using the weeks as an EDC, I think(!)Hobo A-5 for daily journaling, Hobo A-6 as something TBD, Commit 30 as food/exercise/health, Traveler's regular and passport TBD, Hobo 5 year as simple daily events....AND I am contemplating the Travelers Diner edition coming in the new year.....oh my!!!! way too much!!!! Loved seeing your planner lineups!!!

[@plancreatecope]

Awwww. I love Daisy so much. I am using all three Hobonichi planners minus the 5 year and 4 bullet journal, one happy planner and a coloring planner from Sarah Renae Clark.

[@jondowee]

Hi Daisy, I suspect those hidden heartstrings come alive after becoming a mum! So, it's no surprise you shed a tear when they're tugged.

[@user-gl5ld9vm7i]

So casual!!!

[@lisajoyner8346]

This year I will continue with the Hobonochi Cousin using it for Bill Tracking but will use the daily pages for journaling. Will use the A6 English techo for work instead of journaling. Staying with the weeks for EDC and I added the 5 year journal this year to also journal in. Looks like it's a hobonochi year again lol. Loved seeing your planners from 2022 and what you are planning for 2023. They are so pretty and definitely an inspiration. Forgot to add the Makse Life companion notebooks for goals and just decided to add another hobonochi weeks mega for tracking meals, blood sugar and excercise.

[@RG-yf3uj]

This was so great! TFS. I've been wanting to tweak my setups slightly so this was very helpful. Any chance the Traveler's coffee series & the Greeting Life moon phase calendar are going to be restocked?

[@sarahcampbell3440]

This is such a great video......I loved seeing what you've been using in 2022 and what you're going to be using in 2023. I would love to check out May's KZbin channel, do you have a link to it?

[@Thisreadingcorner]

This year I drew my spreads in a Stalogy for the 3rd year in a row and journaled in a Namami Writer. Next year I’m back in the Hobonichi Cousin and journaling in a Nanami Crossfield. Like everyone else I opted out of drawing so much but next year I’ll probably do the Wonderland 222 - I’ve tried it before but missed daily pages being altogether or the Sterling Ink Common Planner since that will come in dated A5 next year.

[@Yoseka]

Thank you for watching and sharing your experience with such a wide array of planners and notebooks! Wishing you lots of fun and enjoyment in your planner journey this year :)

[@seemeplan]

I was looking forward to this video! 😊 I love May's idea of doodling in the monthly pages. I find I duplicate information in my weekly and monthly pages, so I was needing something to do with those pages. anyone know Christine's Twitch and May's KZbin?

[@dickieangenson2236]

May, your style feels similar to mine, so of course I love it. What is your KZbin channel?

[@redparrot9489]

For opposite side page of five year … record a big news/world event. You could also draw …. Like your breakfast or sketch the weather.

[@Yoseka]

Love this idea! Thank you for sharing it with us :)

[@salarievantoy]

Are we going to get an update once everyone is settled on what to use 2024?

[@martychen7673]

Love my pal planner. Wish it could have a hobo cover. Guess you can’t have everything.

[@graceg4550]

I love this video! I love everyones systems. Does anyone know May's YT channel?

[@Yoseka]

Thank you! It is @bulgogi_princess :)

[@Sprklnh2o]

For my 5 year I am putting photos and ephemera’s on the the blank side

[@aprilchanmilee8866]

Blank spots - glue in memorabilias

[@julief9866]

What is deco rush??!

[@Yoseka]

Hahah deco rush tapes work sort of like white out/correction tape but instead of a white tape, an often times clear tape with a design printed over it comes out. It's great and fun to use for planners and decorating/embellishing other stationery!

[@enufisenuf]

what is may's youtube channel?
