I really tried to embrace monday start because logically it makes sense to me (and so many people love it), but I *always* mess up my planner because my brain CANNOT get the concept of starting the week on monday. I thought I would get used to it eventually but I guess it’s too deeply ingrained in me. 😩 I literally was just thinking how I need to switch out my monthly calendar for a sunday start asap. (in the USA, obvi. 🇺🇸)

Helen, was not a train wreck!!! Perfect is the lil imperfections. We will never measure up otherwise to the hobonichi planner princess!! 👸🏻 I have to share that I used the Avec for business and Cousin for personal. And I do like the cousin better -especially for personal-like what you said just having everything in one place (and there is the perk of not doing a set up twice !) I also have found doing set of my monthlies and weeklies ahead of time -so helpful. I did a lot of weekly set ups until December while playing cards with my dad (he takes a while to decide his moves and it is a super long game-Cannista -sp?) so so helpful to have set up because then I am more likely to write in even ahead of time. Like to put in an appointment 📅 -i actually tact the extra matching bits inside the weeklies, for when that week arrives. This year I have way too many hobos -but i think I will know which ones to keep in my line up next year! I bought them all from Yoseka Stationery!!! Daisy is so so nice. I really wish my daughter and I could go to the Stationery Fest !!!! We talked about it. Also, for me, as I have ADHD, planning really makes such a difference -and- tracking any of my behaviors helps me with my emotional health as I can see progress with even small steps. It is so helpful that you are so real to share when you make a mistake because I probably can guess others would agree it makes us feel like we don’t have to be perfect -we can aim for perfection but say it’s okay -“I’m fine with that!” Helen your videos are perfect because you air your errors. We all want to be happy imperfections and all! Lots of Love on this Sunday to you! ❤ Jenean PS I am procrastinating work-and it is a nice day here in Seattle area ugh 😩

I prefer a Monday start too! The one page monthly kits are perfect for me. I use most of the stickers. I'm curious what next year's theme will be. I'm sticking with the Avec next year. But I add a lot of stickers and ephemera to my planner. My Jan-Dec book is very chunky. Another six months would be too much. 😅 I love your fold over pocket. I might try a one page vellum pocket some how. (Or not lol) I do have lots of vellum to play with! I went a bit overboard with the Twinkle, Twinkle. But I love it A LOT! ❤ I haven't been sleeping at night. My bio clock has flipped. So I might not be making sense. For this, I apologize! I hope you have a lovely week! ❤

I’m so jealous! I’ve been wanting my own hobonichi cousin for so long and I’m seriously considering getting one for next year as I’m starting college, but I’d have to spend anywhere from R800 upwards and I just can’t afford it unless I save for multiple months. I also really want to support tcmc, but it would add to more of the costs. I work based on shifts and get paid very little so it’s hard to tell what I want to buy when I have so much to buy and so little money lol

For July, the "monday / tuesday etc" headers color coordinates with the days but the rest of the months arent in alignment. It is possible to have color coordinated for 2025? sorry.. abit ocd here.....For example, in august, "SAT" in green but the numbers 3/10/17/24/31" is in poppy red.
