@@lookout4liz Thank you for your very kind comment, Liz! ☺️ I love unwinding by listening to people talk about their systems and journals too. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and support my new channel! 💛
@@robwhite7976 Thank you so much! 💛 By the way, I love your profile picture! It’s the same vibe as my beloved dogs in bus Hobonichi cover by Keiko Shibata 😄.
Thanks so much for sharing your techo kaigi! I especially love the simplicity and minimalism of your travel journal, it’s really inspiring me to not get so intimidated about backfilling mine 😅 looking forward to more of your videos!
@@alexmakingthings Absolutely! I sometimes feel a little intimidated when I see travel journals full of gorgeous watercolour urban paintings and 2,000-word essays on each location. I do a lot of backfilling when the immediate experiences are long past but I can add some simple decorations that remind me of my favourite memories. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! I really appreciate you being here 😊. Look forward to learning more about your journals whenever you may care to share! 💛
Congratulations on starting your channel and thank you for sharing your techo kaigi! I loved hearing your thought process on how you’re switching the pendulum and trying out multiple books. I agree that you couldn’t have picked a better A6 cover for your son’s baby book. 🐶🚌 Thank you as well for the kind shoutout on your health and wellness planner! 🥹 I love that we have matching covers and that you were able to adapt it to your needs during your December experiments. I look forward to hearing how you feel about this multi-book system throughout the year! Ps. Congrats on reading 100 books in 2024! That’s incredible!
@@LittleCocoStudio Thank you so much, Alison! It means a lot to me that you’ve taken the time to offer your encouragement and support ☺️. Filming videos of both flipping through planners and talking at the same time was much harder than I expected! Does it get easier with practice? My son asks to look through his “special book” all the time 😄. Keiko Shibata is an artistic genius!! I’ve been slowly developing the habit of updating my health and wellness planner more regularly. It’s been a truly functional tool that has helped me be more intentional about caring for my heart, body, and mind. The paper in the new Hobonichi Weeks has been something to get used to. I’m glad you also noticed the thicker lines and I’m not going mad. I’ve even had some bleed through which has never happened for me with Tomoe River paper before. An opportunity to use more of my finer pens, I suppose! I’ve loved discovering audiobooks! I’m going to treat myself to a nice fountain pen for reaching that big hairy goal last year. I might pick up the Platinum you recommended in your live! 🖋️
Loved hearing about your 2025 system! I really appreciated your intro and completely agree - this community is so kind and supportive to one another ❤ I also felt the same way about the Cousin, having everything in one place started to feel disorganized/chaotic for me which is why I've also decided to compartmentalize my books this year. I hope your 2025 books serve you well! ✨ Kind of a random question but what fountain pen do you use? I'm just starting to get into fountain pens and I like the thickness of your writing! 🙂
@@moonlit.journal You’ve been a big part of how entering this community this past week has felt warm and welcoming! 😊 It’s so interesting we both came to the same realization about the Cousin. I can’t wait to see how you experiment with your new system. I hope you find planner peace this year too! ✨ Not random at all! I’m always happy to talk about fountain pens 😄. I got into Hobonichi planners because their paper was recommended as especially suitable for my fountain pens. In my Cousin, the pens I’ve used in the writing featured include TWSBI Diamond 580 with a Fine nib, Sailor Pro Gear Slim with a Medium Fine nib, Lamy 2000 with an Extra Fine nib, and Pilot Custom 823 with a Fine nib. I find EF and F nibs are typically the best for Hobonichi’s small grid sizes. This year, the paper in my Weeks are performing differently than my 2024 Cousin. As such, inks are spreading more on the page and pens are writing ever so slightly more broadly. I’ve been using my Sailors with the nibs but in my personal opinion, they don’t look as good as they do in the Cousin. Hope that’s not too much information! If there’s ever a specific pen or ink you see that looks good, don’t ever hesitate to ask 🙂. I hope you do choose to enter the fabulous world of fountain pens! It’s so much fun!! 🖋️
@@tinytigerco Thank you SO much!! This is so helpful - there's so much content and so many opinions about fountain pens, it can get very confusing haha. Really appreciate you taking the time to help me out! And thank you for your kind words, excited to see how your system goes as well! ❤
@ You’re most welcome! I remember it was rather overwhelming when I first got into fountain pens as well. Especially as the community exploded in the last few years and there has been torrent of emerging brands, models, designs, and inks. Keep me posted (no pun intended) of you go! ☺️
What a fun video! Your voice is very relaxing, and I just love listening to people talk about their systems and journals.
