วีดีโอ

Your cover is making me so excited for mine. I have one coming in this color as part of my first ever bujo planner order. 💗

As many of you know, I fell in love with the dog that lived adjacent to my parents’ vacation house in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. She was super neglected, and would spend all her day in over 100 degree heat 🥵 with no water and food. By the end of my stay every morning she would wait for me by the fence, because she knew I was going to give her food, water, and just keep her company… I truly bonded with her and when I left PR I spoke with my husband and we made it a goal to find a place with more space so we could one day return for her, our current apartment would be a no-go since it is a one bedroom and we have our Rottie boy who needs a lot of space… Unfortunately, my brother is in PR and he went to feed her and see if she is still there… she is not 😭 apparently, the owner of the house passed away and she was taken (most likely to a shelter). My heart is so broken and sad, I am so sorry baby girl that I wasn’t able to save you on time. 😭💔

Congratulations on your wedding and also sorry for your loss. Your weeks is AMAZING!

Hi! I stumbled onto your channel and love how you use photographs in your journaling. What do you use for photographing?

Love your new set up lol man I went way to hard

Glad to see you back and that you had such great life experiences. On a dark note. How did you cope w/missing your mum? What tools did you use to help? My sister is what your mum is to me. She’s getting married in June and im sad and angry all the time. I obviously want her to be happy and have a great life but its hard on my soul feeling happy for her and angry at her… ugh!

Congrats on getting married. I am using the sneaker mega weeks for next year.

I was waiting for a video from you for so long. I ama so very happy you are keep using your weeks. Congratulations to getting married! 🎉🎉🎉

Hi there and congrats to getting married! Thanks so much for sharing your planners and set-up! Love how the grey Weeks looks inside your cover! 💕 Perfect match! I’m also going to use a HoboWeeks (for work + as a catch-all) together with an A6 Hobonichi HON (work + notes). My journal will be a Hobonichi Cousin with a PaperTess Designs Weekly Booklet (horizontal layout) as an add-on. I keep my book journal in a B6 Stalogy-been using it since 2020, will likely stay in it until 2025.

did you find a cover for the SFD Compact Weekly? I just bought a SFD, but i don't like how they don't have a cover that works with it.

Thank you for this. This needed to be heard.

I love your setup in the weeks. Stay with it.

I love the Hobonichi. Stay with what you love. I’ve spend so much money last year. Not doing this again. You do get caught up. Yes we need to stop.

I'm a gel pen kind of girl too 🖊️

I just started this Sterling Ink subscription. I can see how it can be too much if you're just using a Weeks though.

Yes yes yes!!! I agree this is perfect a lil but if journaling a day. I have so many agenda’s but my weeks I love the most as it’s smaller and convenient. This is why I love watching your videos perfect for those that don’t journal as much Although I don’t own any sterling ink I’m thinking of converting 🤔

Love the video… they’re a pleasure to watch. I truely recommend hitting your address with a sharpie before putting washi over it! I hate to sound cynical because I do believe the world is good, but it is filled with opportunists!

Great video ❤

I definitely identify w/the mega being such a big jump in pages. I currently use a regular weeks and have the supplement weeks note pages that come 3 booklets in a pack. They're thin enough to store inside the weeks when I shelf it at the end of the year. I never go past 1 booklet anyway.

Love your setup and Congrats on going back to school!

All so true. Apart from 1 year I’ve done 6 years in a weeks. It must work! I’ve got gorgeous covers. Luckily lots of those US shops are off the table for me due to shipping costs so it does relieve it a little!

Job wise have you ever considered working in Marketing or Brand Strategy research? Your skill set is unique. You should consider data science especially with a strong math backgroud.

Last year, I got a piece of adhesive leather to cover my Weeks sneaker. It took 2 weeks for the color to get on my nerves. I am a neutral girl 😊. I spent time in March writing out what was bothering me about my Weeks. This was handy when all the options were previewed by other shops because if their planner didn’t solve my problems, there was no point in trying it. Do what works for you is the right attitude!

I just want to say how gorgeous the light is in this video. So easy to see everything and looks so cheerful!

I like the Sweet Freckle Designs weekly edit planner in terms of layout, but my biggest complaint is that the ink smears so easily. I have never had a hobonichi weeks, but I do have one of the sterling ink grid notebooks and don't have issues with smearing on that paper. I don't use fountain pen. The pens that smear are usually gel pen or the crayola supertips. The smearing with the Sweet Freckle Designs annoys me enough that I will use it as a work planner with just a Bic ballpoint pen, no decorating at all. It's a shame. I considered getting a Sterling ink commonplace book for 2024 but have decided it's not worth it. $66 is a lot to spend for paper, and does it really make me so much more productive than just having a bullet journal?

I planner hop, but have realized I can ONLY buy undated notebooks so I have less waste. But, this year was my first year getting into planners, and even with the undated options I know which ones will work and won't - so it is SO FUN to see all the new things being created but I will also just enjoy the unboxings and announcements and then just hangout in my undated common planners and blank grid notebooks hehe.

Omg I hope you get that little dog. You are so sweet. And the same issue here with being influenced to buy so many planners. I still have no clue on what to use

your feelings and thoughts are so relatable! i had a very overwhelming june in terms of thinking about my lineup, and just like you, i ended up realising that hobo weeks is what truly works for me and i no longer have to keep searching for something "better". i don't need the other versions of it, either, even though a lot of people have them and seem to really enjoy them. there's such peace in being content in one planner year round and that's what i'll be trying to do for the rest of the year and next year :) thanks for sharing your thoughts, it's soooo easy to get swept up in the craze in this hobby for sure :P

I enjoyed this. I love how your hobonichi looks. I am gojng with an archer and olive B5 BuJo for my planner. Each month changes so much for me and it’s crazy relaxing to set up each month. I also hope you can get that sweet baby dog. Please keep us posted!

Thank you so much for this chat about all the pre orders and the pressure of fomo! I'm new to planning, my current planners are hobonichi cousin and a personal size rings for info dump. It's been overwhelming and I love watching all the unveiling videos but I'm sticking to what I know and can afford.

I too have purchased more planners than I needed but I’m glad I did because I now know what I like and don’t like. Definitely I’ve enjoyed the weeks long format. I look forward to see what Hobonichi does next.

Aww I got teary towards the end. Hope you’re able to go back for fur baby 🐶 🙏

I just found your channel! New subbie. Loved it! It’s so true about the FOMO. I was just feeling that this week and had to pull back. I’m so sorry about your abuelita, but what a blessing to celebrate her life! 😢 I haven’t visited PR since my grandmother passed so it’s been a long while. I’m hoping to visit one day with all of my girls so they can learn about their heritage. You had me crying when you talked about the small doggie in PR. I hope you’re able to get it. TFS mija! ❤️🤗

This is so me I plan as I go but do love my weeks. New to the weeks community well new to the hobo world 😊❤

The planner craze is so real! On the SI Facebook page, I'm seeing people's screenshots of purchases with 6+ planners. I know myself and try not to get too many dated options because it's less waste if I do not use them by their date. Hyperconsumerism is something that needs to be discussed more in the planning community.

Are those stamps in the frame? Where did you get your stamps?

Yes the SFD is not a true Hobo weeks size. But there’s other companies that make hobo week size planners. Some are undated and some are dated. An inexpensive dupe is the Kinbor. But also SterlingInk has their preorder up for their 2024 planners including weeks size. Love her planners. Adding a piece of vellum between the planner and the clear cover gives you a little decor and you can change it up seasonally.

I got the SFD weekly compact also. I though that I would switch over to it in Jun but I am currently in the original SFD weekly and I love that one. So I did not switch over to the compact one. Will use it for 2024. Hope you go back and get that little doggie, I had a wonderful dog from there and she was the best. Good luck to you in your future.

You sound just like me. I always think something is going to be better but truly it's not. I have been using Hobonichi for the last 10 years and I will do the same this year. There is nothing like the weeks for planning. I will probably get the cousin again this year, even though I don't use it for planning, I like to journal in the cousin. I loved this video so much and really enjoyed seeing how you use and decorate your weeks. I would love to use the hobonichi day free but I need more pages for the whole year and I don't like having 2 books per year. Put a beautiful paper inside of your plastic cover or a special sticker, I love changing mine within the plastic cover all year long. I get bored. I just bought a moterm cover for my weeks and I love that it has two snaps and expands. They had them on Amazon and had beautiful colors. Keep making videos, they are really good.

New to your channel. Enjoyed your video today. Your pages are very pretty! Currently I'm in the Spring Japanese edition of the Hobonichi weeks. I had two different weeks planners this year. I found out that bulking up my planner with stickers and things just wasn't working out, so I ordered the spring start. Mostly just pen to paper with minimal stickers right now. I just preordered the weeks planner from Sterling Ink. She has some absolutely gorgeous colors for 2024. Wish me luck on sticking with one planner for the year. 😉

I’m writing this through my tears. I’m probably old enough to be your mom so I’m inclined to call you Mija, LOL because we call everyone younger than us, Mija. ! 😅 Thank you for your candor and for the pep talk. Hobo is my first love, but I can’t promise i won’t buy-tbh, it’s my only outlet so I’m okay with it, oh except for vintage LV’s. Hahaha I love that you shared your grandma with us and I can definitely see me and my cousins all gathering at ‘welita’s’ (abuelita) house and it transporting us straight back to childhood! I send you my condolences and a big hug from #Texas. I will be praying that you can go get that fur baby, please keep us posted. I’ve been to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 once and I’ve been hoping to get back…maybe you can vlog the process so we can join you in the journey. God bless you, hon. Theresa 🌺

So accurate! Thanks for sharing your insights and thoughts!

If you are sick of the color. You could stick a piece of paper you like in the plastic cover as a book jacket. Cut out a piece of pretty paper that will fit in the plastic cover. Put the paper in the cover, then put your weeks in afterwards.

I’m blessed that my first introduction to the planner community was a Hobbonichi weeks and field notes, I got one for personal use and a weeks mega for homeschooling and can’t recommend it highly enough!

FOMO is huge and I find this especially within the planner community. I don’t even want to embarrass myself and tell you how many 2023 planners I have. ☺️ I do hope you get to go back soon to Puerto Rico to get that sweet puppy! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. 🤞🏻

Oh my goodness!!! We are both crying! I pray that you can go back and get that sweet baby!! 🙏

I think Sterling Ink is a great solution for those who want a Weeks layout but in a bigger planner for 2024. While she's doing a weeks size for 2024, she's also offering that format in standard tn size. Fyi, pre-orders are happening now until July 9.

Thank you-I have shelves of planners from a previous planner frenzy! I love Hobonichi Weeks-it works!

Thank you for the pep talk! Seriously, planner FOMO is dangerous. If you're tired of the purple, you could slip in some decorative papers or collage something to slip under the clear cover. 🤗

I just discovered your channel and you’re adorable! Thanks for great videos! I’m a fellow teacher, but currently I use HP planners. Some day…. I might switch….we will see!!
