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 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.
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.
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.
I was actually telling my fiancé that I’m glad the SFD planner is undated because even if I don’t use it I can save it for another year. I have always gifted the planners I don’t use cause empty planners are so sad to me lol
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!
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!
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 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.
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
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 🌺
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 feel the same about the Hobo Weeks. I only use washi stickers so that the planner doesn't bulk up- it's worked out so far. Not going to lie the misty blue and forest green from the Sterling Ink line up are stunning!
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.
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. 🤗
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.
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! ❤️🤗
I really enjoyed this video. I always want multiple planners and although I do use more than one, I never need as many as I want. I had been constantly using a travelers notebook for the past 4 years which I would also memory keep in. But I knew this year that I'd be making numerous trips to doctors and I need something really portable to put my med stats and list my meds in plus still be somewhat of a planner. So I went with the Hobo Weeks. And I can tell you that I will be continuing with the weeks. It's no frills but it keeps me on point. I do so hope you can rescue the puppy.
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!
I agree with you. I am definitely keeping the Hobonichi Weeks in my line. I tried the A5 and it was too big. I did try the Avec A6 and I’m just finding myself planner hopping. I’ve decided I will stick with the Hobonichi A6 Day Free and Hobonichi Weeks. That’s what is working for me. I like how you are doing some memory keeping as well. I think I may try that next year.
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
Exactly! I had a bunch of sticky notes all over my planner about different releases, layouts, and prices 😂 Hobo Weeks works for me so I let go of all my sticky notes. 📝
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.
Love Sterling Ink! I have her monthly sub and it never disappoints. I do believe her planners are like the SFD in that the pages are larger so the clear cover makes it not fit quite as nicely on Hobo Weeks covers. That being said the color scheme she released is *chef's kiss*
@@TheDenmarie actually the SI is the same size as a hobo weeks. It’s not larger like the SFD is. I have the SI weeks notebook and shared the size on a video. Her half year notebook is the exact same size as the regular hobo weeks. I’m planning to test some hobo size covers on my weeks notebook from SI this weekend actually. The full year won’t fit because it’s so thick. But the half year is the same size as the Hobo so should work.
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. 🤞🏻
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.
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 agree with you about the price of the Common Planner. They look like nice planners, but they’re a bit overpriced for my budget. I use the Kinbor Weeks dupe and LOVE IT. Cost me less than $12 including shipping and it fits perfectly in a Hobonichi clear cover.
I just want to say how gorgeous the light is in this video. So easy to see everything and looks so cheerful!

I was thinking of trying this with scrap paper since vellum has a degree of transparency and the purple is still visible.
I love your setup in the weeks. Stay with it.

Thank you for your comment! I have been looking at the Moterm covers and I'm pretty sure I will try one out as soon as I decide on what color 😃
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.
Literally, have a countdown on my phone for the launch tonight. 😂 Hobonichi Weeks for me for SURE!

I hadn’t been in 14 years so it was bitter sweet seeing all the changes that have happened over the years. 💕 I hope so too!

I am pretty sure it will be a Weeks for me too. And thank you so much for your comment 😭 I hope I can too! 🤞🏼
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!
I have an archer and olive for long form journaling. Such beautiful books! And will do! 😩 🙏🏼
Thank you-I have shelves of planners from a previous planner frenzy! I love Hobonichi Weeks-it works!
I agree with you. I am definitely keeping the Hobonichi Weeks in my line. I tried the A5 and it was too big. I did try the Avec A6 and I’m just finding myself planner hopping.

The memory keeping in the notes pages is what made me fall in love with the planner! Love having everything in one place 🥰
Oh my goodness!!! We are both crying! I pray that you can go back and get that sweet baby!! 🙏
Thank you so much! We can use all the prayers 🙏
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 😊❤

I agree with you about the price of the Common Planner. They look like nice planners, but they’re a bit overpriced for my budget. I use the Kinbor Weeks dupe and LOVE IT. Cost me less than $12 including shipping and it fits perfectly in a Hobonichi clear cover.
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.
Just the VB one I have, but have not bothered to purchase any other covers since I will not be using it for 2024. I stuck to my Hobo Weeks for 2024.
Are those stamps in the frame? Where did you get your stamps?
I got mine off of jetpens.
