You deserve free Hobonichi planners for life! This information actually does increase productivity and utility of the planners. Brilliant ideas! Thank you!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

I'm so glad to hear that you think that these ideas increase productivity and utility, Melissa! That's the highest compliment a planner KZbinr can receive, I think!

I cannot believe this video is from 2017! I was so excited when I stumbled across your videos today. I have used the Hobonichi, various sizes/formats in the past but have always struggled. Your videos are so helpful and comprehensive I feel like a kid in a candy store and can’t wait to watch them all. I’ve already watched this one twice! I’m not sure why you stopped posting YT videos and I wish there were some recent ones but I appreciate the ones here and all the work you put into them. This is so helpful, thank you!

[@Kilistra87]

I am so happy I found your channel. I love the ways you show how you can utilize one planner with different styles/layouts. Just amazing!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Thank you for watching, Julia! Am really glad you enjoyed the video =)

[@jollynickel]

I love your channel and wish you still posted regularly. You have given me so many productive tools for planning in my Hobonichi. Please come back to KZbin and share more of your wisdom!

[@RawWrtochi19]

YOU ARE THE WIZARD OF PLANNING

[@yukikosakamura6498]

You're too kind, Jocelyn! Haha, but I do like the sound of "Wizard"--sounds so mysterious! =p I hope you will be able to use the ideas in this video in your own planners! =)

[@TheBookishInkling]

Wow. This is probably the most useful video I’ve come across in a long time! I was trying to find a way to utilize my Hobonichi Cousin for both personal, work and school, and your first idea was a game changer for me! Thank you very much:)

[@LisbethJimenez]

Thank you for yet another great video. ! I think this year I will be more successful with my Hobonichi because of you :)

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Hooray! Glad you found the video useful! I guess the next step is to try and figure out which of these many uses fit your needs =)

[@LisbethJimenez]

To be honest with you I enjoy your high level (birds eye view) videos I know that for smart people it is simplistic but for me your instructions are allowing me to see planning as actual planning for the first time in my life. For example: Starting in December I will use the monthly view to schedule gift buying and social engagements (I am trying to make myself become more social). Thanks to you I understand that it isnt just the appoinmtnets but what comes before the appointments and how to schedule accordingly. I know this must sound basic and rudimentary but I also have ADD so for me Planning is on the same level of Quantum Physics. So I have to say yet again thank you so much for your awesome videos :) I look forward to your videos on procrastination and how to overcome it :)

[@tiffanyliu9841]

I adore your February option, it looks so much like a Gantt chart and I never thought to use the index that way!

[@adawang2168]

Such a great video! Even if I don't use these exact ways, it's given me ideas of what I want to track and record in my yearly index pages. Thanks!!

[@Bruntgrits]

I hope you're doing well. I always double back to your videos and Instagram postings. I hope you return in some way soon.

[@hav4864]

I'm always learning something new from you. Thank you ❤

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Thank you for your constant support and encouragement!

[@sayurikitamura7109]

Thanks for this thought-provoking impulses!

[@bluecupcakefish]

How cool you used a gant chart !!!! This is genius! By the way did not react in the last video but the links are great many thanks for this ! Sorry for not being so present at the moment, I do however watch all you videos ! I also look forward to your productivity enhancements videos you mentioned on Instagram :) Have a great week !

[@yukikosakamura6498]

No, no, it's okay! I know you're busy, so I really appreciate it when you comment

[@ivanarellano4725]

Amazing! I found some inspiration in this and will definitely try the self care idea next.

[@yukikosakamura6498]

I'm so glad to hear that you're gonna try the self care idea! =) If you do implement it, let me know how that works out for you~

[@adeodata6364]

Fan-tas-tic! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much 🌺

[@cookiekitty222]

Lovely video! While I will not be using the Cousin, I could definitely incorporate the Self Care tracker in the monthly view in the Weeks. I went back to your previous video about printables, but didn't find a yearly index available. Thanks for the visuals for this space, as I was totally lost on how to use it.

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Hi! Yes, unfortunately, the yearly index is not available as a printable as is an integral part of the Hobonichi Original and the Hobonichi Cousin. The printables tend to be past years' information pages. =) When I first saw the index, I was also stymied. But now I think that the index is such a versatile layout! =D

[@thart522]

Great ideas! I think I’m going to do the last one and track steps or maybe miles and weight. Happy new year!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Happy new year, Tina! All the best with the steps tracking! =D

[@atanasiamandru8188]

Awesome video! I’m going to implement some of these myself!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Haha, I told myself, "if one person uses even one of these ideas, I will count the video as a helpful one!"

[@tiffanyliu9841]

loved this video!!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

So glad you did! I felt like I was repeating many of my previous ideas and was worried that people would find it boring. So glad you didn't dislike this video! =)

[@tiffanyliu9841]

I'm happy to see all the ideas in one spot! It really helps show the versatility of the hobo!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Oooh, I hadn't thought of that! I thought it'd be boring to see the same ideas, but never thought that ideas that are repeated can show the versatility of the hobonichi... Thanks for changing my perspective!

[@AmateurHour321]

You’re amazing 😉

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Thank you, Thandi! You're always so supportive and encouraging of the videos I make. I truly, truly appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment

[@leahwilis11]

Hi! Would love to have your suggestions on how to use the yearly index page on the Hobonichi weeks 😊

[@katieniad-thames3640]

This is amazing!!! What if I want to use ALL the ways?!?! I can’t decide!!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Haha. I'd make photocopies so that I don't have to decide! =P

[@srdriggers3290]

Awesome video as always. May I ask where you got the blank copies of the yearly pages you are using ? I checked the Hobonichi downloads linked page and I do not see them there. I would love blank copies of the yearly and monthly pages for my cousin so I can try out a few ideas before inking my Cousin. thank you in advance.

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Oh, I photocopied mine! =) I recommend setting it to a little bit darker and the lines will show a bit more clearly.

[@4jcv]

Great vids as always (full of great ideas) Could I (once again) ask you to scan the two pages instead of taking a picture of them?? I want to print them, cut them, and paste the ones I want to use in my hobonichi as a guide/reminder (for example, I really liked the Habit Tracker on the "apri" month, and thus want to cut out and paste it like an insertable into the 1st of april so that I remember how you created it and remember to do it myself)

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Hi! Ah, the reason I have been providing pictures is that the scanner in the office has broken down and unfortunately, they do not know when the budget will be approved to buy a new scanner. They think it will be in the next financial year! And I don't own a scanner =( I will try to see if I can borrow someone's scanner, but I might not be able to! So sorry about that!

[@4jcv]

Yukiko Sakamura ok no problem then and thanks a lot for the effort!

[@esteon8558]

Oh my gosh, are you really pregnant? Did I miss something??

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Haha, no, you did not miss anything. I am not pregnant. This was just an example of how someone might use the index pages =D
