Ways to use your weekly spread

In this video, I present more than 30 ways to use the weekly layout in the Hobonichi Cousin. Even if you're not a Hobonichi user, I hope you would still be able to use some of these ideas in your planner system.

Thank you for another helpful video. I do really hope to make better use of my Hobonichi Cousin this year! Do you think you can provide a PDF file of your layout again like you did for the monthly spread? That would be greatly appreciated! :)

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Thanks so much for following this series! Yup. I have no access to a scanner during the weekends, but I'll try my best to provide the PDF next week. Will update you when I do! =)

[@nameless6774]

Yes... Im so glad you were suggested on my feed! Your channel will grow fast within the planner community because of the straightforward and innovative,useful presentation . Thank you for taking time to share your ideas!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Thank you so very much for your kind words!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Hi! I apologize for having taken so long. The scanner died and I was waiting for them to fix it but it never got fixed. So I decided to just take a photo and upload it here: drive.google.com/open?id=0ByZSkJ0KzIWmWGN6RW5od2F5Mk0 Please let me know if the phone is unclear--It looks fine on my laptop but just in case. Enjoy! =)

[@selenium07]

Yukiko Sakamura thank you! I really appreciate it! 😀

[@Dr_Dee_Sankofa]

Your videos are AMAZING. Thank you so much for these very helpful and functional videos. Often hobo videos focus on decorations, stickers etc...as a PhD student I’m so happy to have discovered your very practical tips!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my videos, Adeeba! I hope your dissertation is going well! It can be tough but hang in there! You'd be so proud of yourself when you've conquered your (writing?) demons. At least, that was the case for me =p Let me know if you need any help! I'll be happy to talk with you!

[@janablanco3946]

I just ordered my first Hobonichi, and I am very excited for it to come! I found your channel and have been watching many of your videos to get ideas for making the best use for me of my Hobonichi. You so many wonderful ideas! Thank you for these very informative and helpful videos!

[@elisamartinez9325]

I've been looking for videos about Hobonichi Cousin and this is most helpful video I've seen.

[@belrubi]

Love your ideas on how to use the cousin. I especially like the family section, it has given so many ideas on how to track everyone’s schedule at a glance! Thanks!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Thanks so much for watching! Haha, I wasn't really sure about the family section because I don't use the Hobonichi cousin for family schedules... But I'm glad that you found that section useful! =)

[@jeanradko5311]

Thanks for your helpful and informative video! This is the best collection of practical planner ideas I have ever seen. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@livelaughlove4635]

Loved all the ideas :) I can't wait to start my 2018 Hobonichi.

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Yay! Glad it's helpful! =) Hopefully when you eventually start your 2018 Hobonichi, you'd find these ideas still applicable =D

[@liliaweber7257]

The top 3 lines would also be great for writing what you plan to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (or log what you ended up eating.) I love the recommendation for highlighting what different people will be doing in a timeline. I use the Paperian "class planner" but I will be borrowing that idea.

[@Cyan0516]

Thanks a lot for the weekly spreads !!! Love it so much ! took a serious notes for it and it helps me a lot!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

So glad to hear that! =) And thank you so much for watching and leaving encouraging comments.

[@nekolotti]

Just found your channel and I have to tell you that both the quality of your content and the quality of the videos are great. I was thinking about buying a hobonichi for quite long but wasn't sure if it would be customizable enough to fit my needs. So thank you for sharing these ideas with us. Looking forward to a video about the daily pages as well. :)

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Thank you so much for watching the videos and for the very nice comment

[@igottago7379]

Thank you so much for this video. I'll definitely be implementing some of these great ideas in my weekly section 😁

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Yay! Super glad to hear that this video has been helpful to you! Let me know what worked and what didn't when you've experimented a bit =) Or what you've adapted! I'd be interested to know!

[@shreyamukherjee4784]

Your videos are amazing and the most practical and helpful of all videos on journalling. This video should be on everyone's recommendation list. Great work. Hope you make videos subscribed your channel.

[@octowak8434]

Thank you for your sweet comment

[@onajourneylife2242]

Thank you! This was helpful 😊

[@InDalj]

Excellent ideas! I’ve been considering getting the Hobonichi weekly supplement for next year despite having given up on the vertical layout barely halfway through this year 😅. Also, it’s refreshing to hear a familiar accent in this planning community…Hello! from a S’porean living in M’sia 👋

[@urbanmiss26]

Great planning example! You have gained a new follower in me 😊👍🏼

[@pj101]

You channel is amazing. It really helped me with the weekly schedule. I think you deserve more views! Also you aren't active in KZbin or Instagram and I really hope you are OK!!!!

[@thatwendygirl68]

you are AMAZING!!!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

You're so sweet!

[@thatwendygirl68]

i have now watched more of your vids and seen your Insta. I can tell you are extremely humble about your talents. you are a planner BAD ASS though!!

[@noemiemarciano7294]

Great Video! I plan in a very simular way I just use omnifocus to track all my task I have too many to track on paper all the time. I would love a video on maybe how you plan broader project, especially how you planed your PhD thesis, what would you recommend? How you used your bujo or hobonichi then, and also how you integrate personal or work or do you only put work in hobonichi?Thanks again for everything that you share with us! Very helpful

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Hi! Thanks for watching! I've heard good things about omnifocus but have not checked it out because Omnifocus appears to be available only for Apple products. =( To be honest, I don't think I did a very good job of planning my PhD dissertation... The entire process was crazy messy, with information floating about in scraps of paper, notebooks, digital platforms, and word documents. (I only started bullet journaling a year ago.) But I'll try to record down lessons that I learnt, or things I would do differently now and make that video. Integration of work/personal seems to be quite a common question. I will also try to work on a video addressing that! Thanks for the ideas! =)

[@LoveOfFood]

👍👍

[@carlagibson9820]

Love the video. Got some really great ideas. Are you going to do a version with the daily layout? Would like to see how many ideas you come up with for those pages!

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Glad you got some ideas from watching this video! I have some ideas for the yearly calendar pages and the index pages but am struggling to come up with any ideas for the daily pages. But I'll do my best to come up with something =)

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Thank you for sharing your ideas! =) Like you, I use the hobonichi daily pages like a normal notebook... But I was trying to figure out how to use the page for daily planning. I personally don't do that because it's just too much space to fill in a day... I wonder how others do it!!

[@lbcrafter8621]

Thank you for you videos, they are very inspiring! Do you have ideas how to use the 100 list page in the back of the hobonichi? I can't seem to find a good way to use it.

[@vincentincognoli8470]

Great videos. How do I buy a hobonichi cousin in English? I live in the US. It is a great planner and you have set it up in a very efficient way. I need one.

[@yukikosakamura6498]

Hi! Unfortunately, the Cousin (A5) doesn't have an English version. Only the Original (A6) has an English version, and it looks quite different. But if you're okay with the Japanese version, you can buy the Hobonichi Cousin here (www.1101.com/store/techo/en/) or on jetpens.com (www.jetpens.com/Hobonichi-Techo-Planners-Covers/ct/3100). I believe you can find it on Amazon as well. Hope this helps!
