I dropped the Weeks...I am in the Techo Weeks and the Techo Day Free A6...this is my second year and has been my goto EDC in conjunction with my Cousin as my home/desk set up...it's taken me 8 years to come to this solution and for the time being it has worked the best for me.
For months and months, I have been searching for a way that works for me to get organized in my books. I watch this one video and you knocked it out of the park. This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Thank you so much!!!
What a perfect fit for you! I’m so glad to see it working so well. It’s awesome and so surprising to see how much more we can capture in our lives when we have a system that fits our needs. Thanks for sharing! 🧡
Love this, thanks for sharing. I’m glad you recognize planners are meant to be used. Leather is flesh and I always giggle when people are trying to keep it pristine- I want to ask them if they want to travel themselves wrapping their skin in protective pouches...lol. When the cow was alive, it wasn’t being pampered, it doesn’t make sense to me that people want to protect the flesh after death. 🤷🏻♀️
Three years in the Weeks, and never made it past 6 months….so I decided to try the A6 as well. It’s only January 2nd, so can’t say how it’s going to go…
Thank you! I’ll be using the A6 day free for 2020 so I can have even more freedom with the blank pages. As long as I have the monthly view, I can keep my appointments organized!
I love the A6 size It’s too big to carry as a pocket planner but I love writing and decorating. I just got a hobonichi too and looking forward to using it.
I like that you just put Nap and left it at that. I am the same way I think I have to put something on each page thank you for this. I have a rare disease the planner would be a good place to put what is going on with my health I never thought about that!
Haha, yeah, some days I feel like writing a long list and others just have a word. If I forced myself to make lists everyday I would burn out, but that doesn’t mean you can’t fill pages with other things. Your health tracking is a great idea!
I am new to A6 and love having a daily page. I've used personal size ring planners for years but I always had to supplement with daily pages which was such a squeeze but the A6 notebooks are fab!! I'm currently using an A6 stalogy to plan but have got my 2021 Hobonichi and am really looking forward to using it.
Thank you for this video. I was having buyers remorse, as I bought the hobonichi a6 AND the weeks. Now I wish i could return the weeks, but i already wrote in it! Lol
Ha-weather stickers but you never know when freak weather might strike somewhere - could be anywhere, like snow all over Texas or more rain & hail at strange times of the year out here in the high desert! I say always keep a few of those “it’ll never happen, nah, not here !”” Or maybe use those weather stickers for seasons of life? Love watching your videos!
Thanks for sharing. I LOVE my A6, but am unhappy with my A6 Waypoint. (to wide) Never thought of getting a pockets plus instead. Looks like the perfect fit. :)
Hi, Sarah! I just wanted to say that watching this video in Sept 2020 has been extremely helpful for me. Thank you so much! I am currently deciding if I want to switch from an A6 Stalogy to the Hobonichi Techo, and you walking through how you use it helped me jump the gun! Is there any complaints you have now that it's been a year later?
Awesome! I’m so glad to hear that! I actually ended up switching to the day free after this. I preferred having non-dated dailies. That way I can make a daily page when I actually need one. I then switched to standard size and copied the exact layout of the day free because it works so well for me!
@@sarahmartinezjournals I so feel you got me sold on the Techno over the Weeks for the new year for my pocket plus now LOL. Can you please compare the A6 MD to the Techno? Luvs xo
I totally considered getting the MD Diary next year (for planning) instead of the hobo but I hate the layout of the MD Diary for a planner. The hobo is just so perfect for what I need! I show closeups of the MD Diary pages in my “Battle of the A6” video. The daily pages are basically blank with hourly lines on the left side.
It works so great in a pocket plus! I’ve linked my video in the description “My pocket plus TN setup” that explains how I have the Hobo in there. I made a folder to go around the string, then I slip the hobo in the folder.
Ok, you have to tell me how to bring the shine back to a maverick because my first (and only) was very loved and from the bst. It’s supposed to be shiney but the shine has worn off. If there’s a way, I need to know!
The only way I’ve found is to buff fast with the soft chic Sparrow bag. I do it till it gets warm and it will lift fingerprints and grime. I haven’t used any product on it. There may be a better way, I just haven’t tried anything else!
@@sarahmartinezjournals Thank you ma’am. I did the baby wipe-wipe down, but don’t want to do it agan if I don’t have to. It did however help with the scent.
It's nice to see you so content. I can feel your happiness and excitement using the little A6 with a sense of freedom to create. Maybe I'll pick up my hobo A6 and see how it feels..... Nope, no can do little dingbats started whining.
It’s going to depend on the leather cover! Some brands make their covers bigger. You can also get a cover custom made to accommodate your planner with a clear cover. So many options!
Thanks so much! I’ve always heard that PP fits A6 books really flush and I just wanted to try it for myself. Since I carry it out of the house, it’s nice to have a more compact setup. Also, Chic Sparrow cuts all their sizes really roomy so I find I have to have more inserts to fill out an A6 to my liking.
I love it!!! I just got the Hobonichi 2020 A6 and plan to use it the way you are using this 2019. Thanks for the ideas Sarah🌻 Ps... I’m an A6 size lover💕
Love A6 as well! I use a stalogy for journaling and my a6 muji for memory planning! I had a Hobonichi last year and now I’m regretting not get one this year!
It’s only ONE of my EDCs😂. This is only my planner setup. I have a Chic Sparrow Nano I’m using as my wallet. And I throw in my current journal for good measure.
I’m sure the lucky lady will enjoy it to the max! Haha. Maybe if I was a dedicated pocket user I’d cough up some major money for it, but it’s not something I could justify for myself💁🏻♀️

Exactly! Thanks so much for watching, as always🙏🏼♥️
So helpful. I am possibly moving from hobo weeks to hobo techo A6. It’s only April and I’m already thinking about this for 2022.
I love that line. I don’t want to be busier than one page. 🌺🌺
Thank you! And amen! 🙌🏼😄

Very helpful video! I am THIS close to switching from Happy Planner to Hobonichi A6, and this gave me great insight into how it could work out.
I’m so glad it was helpful!♥️
Thank you for sharing. I am waiting for my hobonichi A6 and love your minimalism in your planner. So inspiring!
Thank you! I’ll be using the A6 day free for 2020 so I can have even more freedom with the blank pages. As long as I have the monthly view, I can keep my appointments organized!

oh I think you're going to love it! And there's nothing better than having a completed book at the end of the year to archive❤️
Thank you for this video. I was having buyers remorse, as I bought the hobonichi a6 AND the weeks. Now I wish i could return the weeks, but i already wrote in it! Lol
I’m so glad it was helpful to you! You’ll probably come up with something fun for the weeks😁
I love your planning style! You've inspired me to purchase an a6 Hobinichi for next year! Thanks

I knew I wouldn’t like it in an A6 TN which is why I went with the PP. I think it would be fun for you to try out!😊

Sarah Martinez I can see how having dated pages can be limiting. Thank you for responding! This all has been so helpful for me. ☺️
I loved that nap page as soon as I saw it.
It’s also a cool memory of the exhaustedness of that day and the imminent need of a NAP. 😂
Love my Chic Sparrow. And, you are one of the few planners people without made up nails...I soooo appreciate that! Nice voice too. 😂
I’m a persistent nail biter 😆. I think there’s maybe 4 videos where I have painted nails, haha. Thank you so much for watching!♥️
I love natural nails. Some are soooo overdone in the planner video sphere...
I agree! I like natural nails.
Thata Gurl Sarah! No frills or thrills; just the simplex facts in a pocket plus LOL. Love those adorbs stickers! Luvs xo
😁😁 the pocket plus-I love it so much! I’m so glad you pushed me to try it, I was so doubtful at first!
@@sarahmartinezjournals I so feel you got me sold on the Techno over the Weeks for the new year for my pocket plus now LOL. Can you please compare the A6 MD to the Techno? Luvs xo

"I was literally just putting down washi tape and that was a lot for me" AMEN!! 🤣👍🏼
I never thought of putting my A6 hobo in a pocket plus. I'm assuming that you use the strings to anchor the book? I love the idea!
It works so great in a pocket plus! I’ve linked my video in the description “My pocket plus TN setup” that explains how I have the Hobo in there. I made a folder to go around the string, then I slip the hobo in the folder.

I don't understand how anyone can dislike your videos Sarah... does not make sense at all. xoxo
Haha, I appreciate that! It’s just a part of putting things on the internet. Hateful comments and dislikes are part of the territory😎
@@sarahmartinezjournals Sarah have you ever used a cousin as a planner? xoxo
It's nice to see you so content. I can feel your happiness and excitement using the little A6 with a sense of freedom to create. Maybe I'll pick up my hobo A6 and see how it feels..... Nope, no can do little dingbats started whining.
I was looking at dingbats notebooks last night!!😁. Haha, just window shopping.
You have beautiful handwriting. I’m totally new to all this and you have helped me, thanks!
Thank you so much! I’m glad to hear that😊♥️
Do you think a hobonichi A6 with the clear cover on it would fit into the leather cover ?
It’s going to depend on the leather cover! Some brands make their covers bigger. You can also get a cover custom made to accommodate your planner with a clear cover. So many options!
@@sarahmartinezjournals thanks. My A6 just arrived from Chic Sparrow. It fits perfect.
I love it! However, after seeing it in your A6 size, I love it even more!😊A6 is one of my favorite sizes, so I'm rather partial! Lol! 🌟❤🐦
A6 is literally my favorite discovery this year!! Im so glad to be venturing into new sizes😁
Loved this video! I’m really into A6 right now. 🥰
Thank you! Give me all the A6 things, for real!
That nap page totally made my day 🤣
Mine too😂😂🙌🏼
very nice, looks like it's really working for you! Curious what made you choose a pocket plus TN over an A6?

Please remind me what pen you use. I keep admiring them in your videos, but I can’t quite ID the model.
It’s a Uniball Signo RT1 in 0.5😊
Sarah Martinez Thank you!
I love it!!! I just got the Hobonichi 2020 A6 and plan to use it the way you are using this 2019. Thanks for the ideas Sarah🌻 Ps... I’m an A6 size lover💕
That’s awesome! I’m switching to the A6 day-free version for 2020. But I just can’t quit Hobonichi or A6😍
Sarah Martinez looking forward to more flip-throughs for 2020.
Thanks Sarah! 😍💗
"I don't want to be busier than one page!" Bravo! :)
😁😁😁🙌🏼
Love A6 as well! I use a stalogy for journaling and my a6 muji for memory planning! I had a Hobonichi last year and now I’m regretting not get one this year!
I need to get my hands on a muji! I have a partially used stalogy that I hope to finish journaling in this year. A6 is just bliss right now🙌🏼
Very nice!
Is this your edc? Do you use this as a wallet?
It’s only ONE of my EDCs😂. This is only my planner setup. I have a Chic Sparrow Nano I’m using as my wallet. And I throw in my current journal for good measure.
new video!
Tiffany Liu 😄♥️
I’m soooo waiting for Pakita to get some new fabrics. I love her pockets! I’m glad this is working for you. :)
I’ve had this insert from her for over a year and it has held up so well!🙌🏼
Sarah Martinez the auctions are live 🤦🏻♀️
Let the bloodbath begin!😂😂
Sarah Martinez that Blue Jay is at more than double normal price
I’m sure the lucky lady will enjoy it to the max! Haha. Maybe if I was a dedicated pocket user I’d cough up some major money for it, but it’s not something I could justify for myself💁🏻♀️
New stubbie! Hi
Hi!!! Welcome, and thank you for being here♥️
