Hobonichi A5 Day-Free Setup for 2024: Planning, Journaling, Notes
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- A setup I am trying out in the Hobonichi A5 Day-Free, which I had initially gotten for work-related notes. I am having fun with incorporating a weekly planning layout, academic research study notes, and journaling into this notebook to experiment with whether I would like to try this out as a viable all-in-one option for One Book July (to be determined...).
Setup materials include:
• Hobonichi A5 Cousin 'Dog/Sake Dog' Cover by Tomomi © Nishikawa (www.1101.com/s...)
• Hobonichi A5 Day-Free Techo (www.1101.com/s...)
• Zebra Mildliner Pen Set in Natural colorway
• Wanle Studio Washi Tape 'Windows' (misopaper.co.u...)
• Hobonichi Stencil Basic Set (Green) (www.1101.com/s...)
Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy!

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.
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! ❤
I like day free as its undated and but like the cousin it doesn't have weekly which I live in mine 😂 but I would love undated daily pages 😊
aw thank you so much, Alison, it means so much coming from you! 🥹🥰 I definitely think the cousin is such a wonderfully robust planner, but it ended up being a bit too overwhelming for me back when I was using it, and I’m finding that the A5 day-free is striking a great balance for me this time around between the sizable robustness of the cousin and something that’s slimmer and more flexible! I’ve just seen your new A6 setup and am so excited for it and to see how it goes! 😍❤️
@@thejournaldiaries I’ve wondered about that combo too, with the weekly pages! The monthly plus weekly plus daily ends up being a bit overwhelming for me with the cousin, but having undated dailies would really help with that! 🤩
this journal is so satisfying to look at. it's like asmr for the eyes!
Loved this- would also enjoy an in depth step by step of how you commonplace/make your work notes, or a journal along with you if you don’t already have one ❤
These are the most beautiful spreads I've seen in a while, and they are so simple. Love
Such creative spreads - yet functional!! Everything I love🤌🤩Please never stop uploading❤️🌱
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 ❤
aw thank you so much, and I’m so glad you like it! 🥹🥰 having the flap to keep the weekly view visible has just been so helpful ~ I find it just helps so much to be able to keep things in sight! ✨
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!
such a sweet design.
oh my goodness, impressive!!!!!!
This ia such a great video, you organize and write so beautifully :') also I have that cover as well and it's my most favourite thing ever!
Thank You for sharing this! I love the Midori Weekly Memo planner but wished it was a little bigger and this layout looks like its right up my alley so to speak! with One week per page and 52 weeks I should be able to do a week on one page and professional and personal on the next pages. Thank you for sharing this idea of splitting up the pages as well. I am going to play around with it and see what best suites me.
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.
thank you so much! 😊❤️ I really appreciated the Cousin too, and it just ended up being a bit too much to keep up with for me ultimately. The day-free really does seem to provide that flexibility of being able to use like a bullet journal ~ would love to hear if you end up trying it out!
Nice video! I use a day free A5 and that same pencil board !
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!!
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
Your layout use of this Day-Free has been one big light bulb switching on in my head! Thank you!
Very clever ❤ loved your thoughts 😊
aw thank you so much! 🥰 and again I totally agree with you that having the cousin weeklies with undated/flexible dailies like the day-free would be such a powerhouse of a book!
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.
aw thank you so much! 🥰 I hear you on loving the Weeks for that weekly overview, but also enjoying a more square page for actual spreads (and the weekly supplement didn’t quite work for me either 😂 and cousin was a bit too much in the long run). It’s a good point about whether the day-free would have enough pages ~ I definitely see that I’d need several of them for the year if I were to continue this, and having it all in one book would be so helpful for archiving!
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
😭wish my hand writing looked as neat as yours.
Your videos are so cozy and relaxing ❤ I have a channel and your videos inspire me so much❤❤
Es util la BIblia hoy?
Which clear cover are you using?
This is BRILLIANT! I've subscribed and can't wait to see your other videos. :)
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!
thank you so much, and yes I was thinking about that too with the A5 take a note! 🥰 in fact the next weekly spread I’m trying is similar with having separate columns for each of the days. I haven’t yet tried the A5 TAN, though I’ve tried the A6 ~ I didn’t end up sticking with the A6, but I wonder now if the A5 could be helpful. Using the hobonichi notebook in the way you mentioned (hybrid TAN/Cousin) sounds brilliant and I’d love to hear how it’s going, especially as a fellow teacher! I find that so much of my planning is inspired by trying to figure out what would work best for teaching in a lot of instances. Thank you so watching, and I’m so glad you enjoyed! ❤️
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!
Omg I have the same dog cover for my cousin, I love it so much
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😢
oh noo I hope that you might be able to find it some time, perhaps in hobonichi BTS or something! I almost sold it too back when I wasn’t able to use this A5 right away, but it really is so pretty and has continued to grow on me ~ and I’ve been regretting not getting it in the A6! 🥲❤️
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 😂
aw thank you so much! 🥹🥰 oh no are the day-free techos not as available now? I do love how flexible it is but with just the right amount of structure, I definitely have grown to appreciate it so much more now!
@@joyofstationery They are still in couple of places (and ofc hobonichi store), just not anywhere in europe it seems :D your system in it truly seems perfect ♥
such a goog idea!
thank you so much! 😊✨
Wow this is genius! ❤
aw thank you so much!! 🥹🥰
