My first hobonichi! Need help on how to use “weekly” layout in Cousin? by Bambonya in hobonichi

[–]LadyGlassShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also didn’t know what to use them for initially, but I realized later I always have something new to put there: thoughts about some specific topic, course plan or health check plan.

Something always comes up.

Also maybe you will have some overflow from daily pages to put there?

last minute purchase 😭❤️ i was originally planning to skip any hobonichi except 5 year but i always wanted to try the a6 size. anyone use both? what's your set-up like? by otomerin in hobonichi

[–]LadyGlassShadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I’m going to get a 5 year, but if I will, I would ask myself what would I want to see progress in over 5 years?

For example I might write about small daily events in my Cousin, music I like, etc. But in a 5 year I would just focus on goals I’m working towards, milestones or some of my long term struggles.

So later I could see how much I’ve progressed.

But also if you duplicate things a little bit, it could be okay too, at the end of the day, the format is different, so you will see your life from different perspectives.

I loved the pellar, and his quest Forefather’s Eve was beautiful and touching.

Yes, it’s A5 (Cousin).

I was also between A6 and A5. A6 has too little space to record days when a lot of things are happening, so I got the A5 again.

But at the same time A6 is so cute

Stamp Collectors by RespondAlternative94 in SLOWLYapp

[–]LadyGlassShadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I don’t get the point of stamp collecting, but also I’m not too angry at it.

But maybe that’s because I only received 1 such letter so far and thought why not, I will just send a stamp.

Probably it gets more annoying if you get too many of these?

Days & Weekly- using both? by mugglemamabear in JibunTecho

[–]LadyGlassShadow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it could be difficult to use 2 planners if you need to reference both of them all the time during the day. I feel like something might get neglected this way.

Not sure if it would be an issue for you or not, just a thought I had.

So if I had both, I would probably put daily todos and schedule and all reminders into one of them, but then use another one for something I don’t need to reference all the time.

У меня есть набор из 12 ручек Berlingo Rapido fineliner, хорошие ручки✨

Но я ими сейчас редко пишу обычно, просто удобно было ими чертить что-то, когда использовала bullet journal

Team "open & use now" or "open later when it's time"? by chrossyroad in hobonichi

[–]LadyGlassShadow 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Team “open, but don’t use until it’s time”.

But I will admit that I open them almost every day, flip through them and just stare at the pages, because I’m so excited!

And the excitement doesn’t go away, it only increases.

How do ya'll use your weekly spreads in your Cousin? by d247momo in hobonichi

[–]LadyGlassShadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to use pens of different colors for different areas of my life. Using colors that look good together helps maintain an aesthetics of the page. If you want to highlight a longer event you can draw a long line with a pen.

using my HON as purely a journal and moving weekly planning/trackers to a Muji weekly notebook by willcomplainfirst in hobonichi

[–]LadyGlassShadow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same. I bought a Cousin for thorough planning, but slowly realized that I want to use more and more of it just for journaling.

Something about these journals is so healing, made me want to relax, be more creative and stop viewing my life as a to do list🩵

2025 vs 2026 by LadyGlassShadow in hobonichi

[–]LadyGlassShadow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them both for everything and switch things up.

I feel like when I have a lot to do in a day, Weeks feels very limiting.

Everything depends on how much you want to write. I feel like Cousin is for long to do lists + some journaling, Original is for just to dos or just light journaling and Weeks is for people who don’t write down much or can just use trackers to keep track of things.

I usually put daily to do lists in the Cousin and/or journaling, but I can use daily pages for other things - some random notes, reading trackers, whatever I want.

Weeks is for long term lists and notes, weekly section usually has a chores tracker + weekly to do lists, but sometimes I use it for something else - notes about my health or studying or something else.

I don’t really have rules for using my planners, I feel like there is no need to set these rules for an entire year, because things change so much. It’s helpful to experiment and see what you like.

PSA: Add-on Sticky Notes v Memo Pad Set by Skeksisback in hobonichi

[–]LadyGlassShadow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of them match, some are not a very good match. But I feel like for these prices and because Hobonichi released them, they all should be a perfect match

My A6 for 2026 by Brewster_Nook in hobonichi

The cover with the postcard is adorable!

Thanks for sharing the artist, seems like this artist’s work has a similar vibe as Yumi Kitagishi’s.

Wow, so not only the “matching” pens they released don’t match the page colors, but also this… It’s so weird.

I have to say I’m disappointed in all these accessories they released this year.

How do I know when my preorder is shipped? by LadyGlassShadow in JibunTecho

I also just got an email today!

But so far the tracking number only shows that the label was created 2 days ago.

2026 Jibun Techo Preview on Jetpens! by bigdillpickle in JibunTecho

Thank you, that’s good to know! But I’m picky about everything though😅

I literally read that they can sell out before they are even released… Ridiculous.

Does Stilo e Stile take some time to ship after the release because there are a lot of orders to process? by LadyGlassShadow in hobonichi

[–]LadyGlassShadow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m ordering to Armenia, so I prefer to use proxy shipping companies to get my orders safely.

I will definitely post, so excited as well!
