I painted my cover. It was happiness pink and let me tell ya, that ain't me😊 I used some acrylic paint and put a coat of mod podge over it so the cover wouldn't wear off. It's totally neutral now!
I was thinking the same thing about my Hobonichi Weeks cover and was thinking of using some Modge Podge and covering them with my vision boards. I can print out the pics on paper or get them from magazine and totally customize the covers :)
I love my weeks but stopped using it in march or so because I love stickers and I felt that the cousin was more fun to decorate I do miss using it and need to get back into it I was thinking of making it my wellness planner so it isn't just a replica of the cousin. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
I struggled with the same thing! i got the regular weeks and i bought the angel shoppe notebook in the weeks size and i put them in a traveler’s notebook cover and i love it!
Hey Julie, you could also send your pen off to a nibmeister and have them grind it down to an extra fine! You will have to be without your pen for awhile but it is definitely cheaper than buying a new nib for the vanishing point! I usually send off my fountain pens when I dislike the nib. I also used to have a heavy hand when I wrote with fountain pens at first and now have adjusted to lighten up the grip so it doesnt spill ink everywhere on my Hobonichi cousin.
I have the same thoughts. The cousin is wonderful and I love the vertical weekly pages. But it is a little too much with the daily pages and the bulk. Next year, I am planning to get the Hobo Weeks Mega as a carry-on, and the cousin will be my health journal that stays at home. I already keep two separate Hobo Weeks for my cat and my plant planning.
Ever considered getting the extra small notebooks? They are 48 pages and you get three of them. I am considering them since I prefer the pretty hard cover and the extra books can be moved to like your next year’s week. I think it would be good for like my health info, addresses and other stuff I don’t want to rewrite on next year’s book.
Omg. I did the exact same thing this week…only I have not back planned yet. I have always struggled with the Mega weeks but then after being in the standard for a few months, I begin to panic about not having enough paper! Lol
Ok, I love hobonichi BUT the paper drives me insane. I want to use ALL the pens 🖊️ I just can’t do that with the TRP. After using my weeks from November till April I abandoned it and went back into my EC.
You may have already seen/tried this, but what about putting a neutral color paper/vellum to "cover" your Weeks, or is it pretty hard to wedge in with the clear cover?

I love how you speak to my inner most planner thoughts. I keep thinking...she gets it! she gets me!! LOL!
😘😘😘
Use some fabric to make a cover on the mega! I have a video showing me do one, but it’s super simple to do and makes a huge difference 🖤
Best idea ever. I am using my weeks mega for work and personal planning and it is fantastic! 🎉🤩🙌🏼
I moved to the weeks mega for all the same reasons and now it’s my every day carry that I can quickly check in with and stay on track.
Yay!!!!!

I am with you on this! I put neutral cardstock between the planner cover and clear cover, and just round cut the corners
do you have a picture? My mega is the fresh green and it is bright!

I love the watching your Hobonichi videos!
Thank you 😊

Hadn’t thought of it but I might give them a try!
Could use pretty pattern paper and put it between the clear cover and planner to cover the yellow.
I might try that!
I can relate to the planner switching unfortunately… I’m always thinking “is this working ?” And then I start trying to find the next best thing 😂
Julie, I like your washi organization. Can u do a short on it and the products used?
Omg. I did the exact same thing this week…only I have not back planned yet. I have always struggled with the Mega weeks but then after being in the standard for a few months, I begin to panic about not having enough paper! Lol

Girl. If you hate the cover, just get some printed papers to slip in under the clear cover. It can be whatever you want it to be.
Great video! I love it. Blessings.
Thank you wendy!
Love the talk through process😊 Can you tell me where you got your page markers?

I’ve tried! It works ok!
Are you able to link the small camel-colored cover? 😁
