The flap idea is so revolutionary to me, i have been searching for a daily planner combo journal that I use for work and personal! thank you!

Nice WIMB 😊

Your layout use of this Day-Free has been one big light bulb switching on in my head! Thank you!

Yes, the first double spread pages not only look inviting to work with but also neat and very functional. I’m not sure about including work and research notes in the same journal though. Have you designed a good indexing system so that you can find past notes as time goes on? Anyway, thank you, I’m going to try your opening spread with the fold - it is clever. X

This is a brilliant set - up - I have started experimenting in a blank Hobonichi A5 notebook - and trying this - and it is working amazingly - thank you for sharing! I am now thinking for 2025 I might get a Wonderland222 that All In One - that has 236 blank pages in the back and I could set up my "daily" entries like this! But for the remainder of the year I will set up my blank notebook for now. Again the unlimited notes pages ( not just one per day)is so freeing.. if I miss a day no gap no guilt, and no backfilling!

this journal is so satisfying to look at. it's like asmr for the eyes!

Which clear cover are you using?

I've never seen the idea with the flap before, it looks great. Especially i love the idea of "hidden journal page" inside the planner structure.

These are the most beautiful spreads I've seen in a while, and they are so simple. Love

Thanks for such a lovely video! I’ve tried using the A5 both for personal and for work (and even tried to combine them at one point). I find that I’m not a daily journaller, so the Cousin was out of the question for my personal entries. Right now I’m using my A5 Avec for work, and it’s going great! There’s a lot of notes and I love that I can look back on specific dates and track important information. But now I am contemplating a Dayfree, just for “commonplace” (which is more like tracking key info for me haha), so I really loved this video!!

Hello Jennifer ~ I just recently discovered your channel, and I find the way that you speak about journaling and planning so valuable. I'm a huge believer that our notebooks are reflections of our minds, but that the inverse is also true--in other words, that how we structure the page is a way to mold and guide structures of thinking. It's always really special to encounter others thinking so deeply about these things. Thank you for sharing your books and thoughts 💌

Your videos are so cozy and relaxing ❤ I have a channel and your videos inspire me so much❤❤

Such a precious cover - fantastic ideas! I might’ve stuck with my A5 day free better! Still worth experimenting with - I recently set up continuing education notes on Sterling ink A5 Tamoe River inserts in a beautiful A5 rings in a 2 column system and adding an occasional sticker just for inviting me to use the notebook! I will try some journaling in this system as well. I love the ability to switch back and forth between personal and professional

Such creative spreads - yet functional!! Everything I love🤌🤩Please never stop uploading❤️🌱

This is so interesting. I like how you can keep your personal info/journaling thoughts unseen during a work meeting. Smart. I use the Cousin, and I feel sometimes like the Day Free could be fun to have a bullet journal type interface. May try for next year.

I had the dog cover when I thought I was going to use a hobonichi then I didn’t. So I sold it. Then I got a hobonichi that started in April and realized I loved it and am so sad I sold it now, it’s so prettyyy😢

This is fantastic! Your layout reminds me a bit of the A5 Take a Note. I love the idea of folded pages that separate your work from personal journaling. I use a Hobonichi notebook that I’ve set up in a hybrid Take a Note/ Hobonichi cousin way. I’m a teacher and I love the idea of using the commonplace approach to notetaking and planning. Thank you!

I love this so much! Especially how the flap allows for the weekly view on the left to stay visible even when you flip to the next page on the right. Looks so pretty too ❤

Very clever ❤ loved your thoughts 😊

Wow this is genius! ❤

This looks great! I hope this works for u! I used the Weeks for years and enjoyed the format but this year, I moved into an a6 Hon because I wanted to try having a more square page to design my spreads. I love the size but I miss my weekly overviews (and no, Hobonichi, the weekly supplement doesn't solve my problem! I know u are just trying to force me to get a Cousin - I see u) Like you, I need a spread to lay out events and all my to-dos for the week. I was unsure whether the Day Free would have enough pages for the year because I like everything in one book.

You have the most creative journal layouts (and lovely handwriting!). 🥹 I’ve been contemplating switching from a Cousin to Day-Free for my note-taking next year, but I haven’t made any decisions, yet. Seeing this is so inspiring, and I’m sure I’ll be returning to this video later on this year when it’s time to make actual purchase decisions. Thank you for sharing this! I hope the return to work is going well, and I’m excited to see what you decide to do for one-book July! ❤

such a goog idea!

Oh, this looks so nice! I've been struggling with finding a planner that works for me and ofc this is tempting me so bad 😅 I guess it's a good thing that I can't find a day free easily this far along the year 😂

Love your voice, always :)

Beautiful!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

The doraemon cover is adorable😭💖

Thank you for taking us through your current planner system. I love (LOVE) how you've been using your hobonichi weeks, and seeing how you've filled your pages up is so satisfying. Your vertical layout has inspired me, and I might experiment with that before I make final decisions about the weekly supplement for next year. While I know routines/schedules/life and work circumstances will continue to change and evolve this year and next, I find myself hoping for a little less frequent change/overwhelm and more consistency next year. Perhaps if not in life, then at least with my planners!

Great idea for the weeks layout!! 😊

I’m so glad to have found an academic in the journaling community - as an ECR in Psychology, it was super interesting to hear you talk about your work-related planning/note-taking workflow! Really made me think about adding a weekly layout for pre-planning, since right now I’m only doing monthlies and daily rapid logging… Also, I love how you reused the Hon cover material. It seems like such a great way to recycle an old Hobonichi!

Just beautiful!!! How did you put on the patch?

Great set up! I’ve just devised what I’m calling the “Quick draw” Hobonichi weeks set up for my TN. I’m certain I’m not the first to think of this, but I use a Midori craft folder and put it in the TN the usual way, and slide each side of the the cover of the Hobonichi into the pockets of the folder. When I need a quick reference of the Weeks, i can flip through normally. If I want to have a longer session with it, it’s very easy to just slip it out of the folder and use it that way. This also helps with the issue of the Weeks not being the same size as the TN. The craft notebook acts as a rigid cover that is the same size as the TN!!

Ooh this is really tempting! Love the video!

I love your voice! It’s so clear, soothing, and kind.😊

Cute cat paws, diy folder, and crocheted cover. Love your journals.

Fun cat cameo!

That cat cameo at the end was everything! Welcome back! 🥰 it’s so nice to catch up on what you’re up to in the journal and planner world. I’ve been thinking about what 2025 could be like when my life simplifies a bit and I may not use a Cousin. I also love housing my hobonichi weeks in my TN, and have been contemplating whether I might downsize to the TN next year. The one thing I’m hesitant to let go of is that vertical weekly. I know TN has a two-insert offering, but I like having one year together. Your layout experiment for May made me wonder if that’s a direction you’re going. If not, it inspired me to consider whether I could make that work! Love your DIY covers as well! So cozy! 🥹💗

So nice to see your video again. Welcome back!

Welcome back! Missed your vids!

Aww the cat attack! ❤ I love seeing the DIY things you’ve made, and your comments about the lull between initial excitement and cozy familiarity are insightful.

🐈🐾❤

Welcome back! 😊

Love the handmade folder. It’s very cute!

These are so great! I see you're an A6 kind of person. Lol. I've actually been gravitating towards A6, although in a perfect world, I'd be B6 all the time. I also have a Hobonichi A6 for gratitude journalling. My question to you is where do you get your gratitude journal prompts? I need a bit of inspiration some times. Love your channel!

Love the color ❤

That TSL tote is so dreamy! I love the colorway and size 😍

Ooh im so tempted! I didn't like the engineer bag in small. The strap was too short as a comfortable crossbody for me so everything just felt so huge and heavy. Maybe this is a better option?

thank you so much for your video! I also have a doughnut backpack, do you have it in the regular size? wondering if this tote would fit on mine as well.

Excited to see your cute TSL tote 😍 These bags are so addictive.. The bag looks very well loved and taken care of. I can feel your excitement for packing this tote for a cafe work session. You also have a great eye for sourcing all THE cutest accessories to go with your notebooks and bags 😊
