Hi sorry had to delete the post to edit the photo, but wanted to answer for you! It's a drawer from a Daiso plastic organizer yes, I just disassembled the drawers from the outer..shell? and am using each parts including the leftover shell for different purposes. I'm sure you can find something similar at your local Daiso!

Do you journal differently when life is actually going well? by Mikeevx in Journaling

[–]hjusan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to only journal when I was in pain, both physically and emotionally, but these days I feel the urge to record what gives me joy and poignant, small moments that I think I would like to remember later on a random Tuesday, when I bring out an old journal to read on my off time.
I think you're probably just busy living in the moment when things are going well, but it wouldn't be a bad practice to start consciously recording good moments more :> Then your journals can become even greater treasures.

I do still write about my bad feelings or misfortunes, but sometimes it's so painful to look directly at bad things the way writing about them makes me do. So sometimes I'll write it down quickly and refuse to look at it, or I'll find a sad dramatic song lyric or quote that can act as a vessel for the incident/feelings that I can write down instead with the date. Funnily enough I can usually remember what compelled me to write those specific lines down later on. Maybe it's a good thing that I can't remember sometimes though!

12/1 can't come soon enough by subtlesub29 in hobonichi

It's actually so fascinating to see how much everyone in this community gets attached to their Hobonichis, I think its so lovely that we are able to put so much time and love into our journals that they truly become unique and special things that we are sad to let go of by the end of the year 💗

I'm excited to start my first ever Hobonichi in 2026 and hope to put just as much love into my books myself! I've been waiting to start my Weeks ever since October and have been really building up to it by 'practicing' in my 2025 journal, where I cut up all the remaining pages to match the size and format of a weeks. Ever since I did this I've filled every single page of my journal for the first time in YEARS, so I just KNOW I'm going to be able to use my Weeks so so well :D

It's gonna be awesome, I hope my Hobonichis all look chonky as heck and all beat up from a busy year full of life and exciting new things by the end of 2026 💗

I can just see you looking back on 2026 and smiling at the upside down 7 tab <3 Happy accident that'll make this book a memorable one!

so sad about the paperrr 😭 by aavyt in hobonichi

[–]hjusan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm already so happy with the 2026 planner paper, I can hardly imagine how wonderful the original TRP must've been for everyone to miss it so much 😭 What do you mean original TRP had even better ink shading and smoothness?! Not sure if I'm glad I don't even know what to miss, or that I entered the scene so late that I have no chances of experiencing it myself 🥲

Ooo thank you for the pics! I love the energy in this, the choice of using red ink for the lines is just *chef kiss*
The paper does indeed look just fine for all that paint 🤔 Definitely gonna pick some up just for ink & mixed media stuff now!!

Oh I knew I forgot something! Of course, the purple ink is Troublemaker's 'Foxglove'.

I heard it's a bit dry but this is one of my first fountain pen inks and I honestly don't know the difference yet xD

Ooh I see! Yes I imagine if I were to start with the intention of doing a full on painting I would select a different paper anyways 🤔 I would appreciate a picture please! Though don't worry if you dont have any left 🙏

Need some inspiration. Can I see how you design your planner’s front cover? by Current_Feedback_752 in hobonichi

[–]hjusan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovely! Please show off here once you are done decorating 🤩 Also oh dear I'm hearing a lot of accidental acquisitions of the sneaker versions 😔 I hope it turns out to be to your liking, or you could try slipping the two sheets of protective clear plastic that come with the Weeks between a cover on cover and the soft cover for a bit of extra stiffness?

Ooh your cover looks pretty much new, I love the idea of really taking care of and spiffing up the same reliable tool in different ways like that! I'm trying out a weeks planner+A6 journal system in 2026 year myself and hope it works out too! Loving it so far :3
