A collaboration between the V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum, London) and the Hobonichi Techo!
I'm getting the "Weeks" version, but the
"HON" one is lovely too.
The stickers are just too cute, so I'm going to buy two!
Maybe I'II go all the way to Kyoto on the release date☺️
I've bought a new planner for 2027 (different from my 2026 one as I better understand my needs now), and I am also intrigued by another planner.
Do I:
Stick to the planner I already ordered (arriving this week) and wait until next year to try the second planner
Buy the second planner and attempt to use both to see which one I like more
The planners are very similar but unique enough that they offer something different. I can afford both, but it still feels a bit irresponsible to order two planners heh. I am also worried I'd end up neglecting one or don't have the time to properly fill out both. The second one sells out (I think), so I wouldn't be able to order early next year if I changed my mind.
What would you do? Sorry, this feels so extra but I figured if anyone would understand, it would be you all!
Hello! I'm sure there has been a million of these posts.
My job year starts in September, so I need an undated planner. I love the Hobonichi cousin layout - monthly, vertical weekly, then blank grid pages. That would be perfect for me. Except I need an undated one so it can start whenever! I also get 2 weeks off at Christmas and in June, so I'd like to be able to 'skip' those weeks without leaving blank pages, but that's just a minor thing.
Does anyone know of any dupes with that exact layout (A5 size!!) but undated? I need the weekly vertical layout AND blank or daily grid pages otherwise a Dayless would be fine!
Must be available in the UK - not from US - not crazy expensive, and preferably with grid pages rather than lined/blank/dotted. I've looked all over and can't find one that works with that criteria, for under fifty quid.
Thank you!!!
I have been using EC planners for years. I use the weekly planner with the dashboard. I love that I can carry over my list of monthly chores and phone calls onto the weekly dashboard, along with a habit tracker. I don't love that the habit tracker is weekly. I have to make a yearly habit tracker because the extra pages EC provides do not include dates. I was looking at the Aura Estelle and love the set-up and the habit tracker. Has anyone who has used both have any words of wisdom? How have you used the daily pages in the Aura Estelle? Is it a lot to fill out each day?
I have been a planner-er and journal-er for many years. Over the years I forget the intricities and the years blend together. I started writing an "about me" section at the front of every new book. Its now close to my favorite part because it highlights my phase of life and anchors the memories.
For reference I use my planner as a memory keeping, tracker, and planning tool. The meaning from my planner comes from the memory aspect and being able to look back at what my life was like (to the hour! If i timeblocked).
Anyway the section is very simple and I write it on the front page. It can be anything, for now I kept it basic.
Age:
Status: referring to relationship
Living: what town im in
Work: where im working (company and location)
Friends: who my friends are
Family: who my close family are
I added friends and family because as you move through the seasons of your life, that changes.
Wonderland 222 will now have a TN planner size called W1. Has anyone looked at this one yet? What layout do you prefer in a TN planner?
The vertical layout seems too squished. The horizontal layout would be better imo as a 2 page spread instead of similar to Hobo weeks. I could always remake the layout, but that would be for every week.
This year I've been using a W222 A5 vertical week layout. Before this year I used hobonichi. I switched due to pen and marker bleeding.
I have wanted to use a physical planner for so long but the pressure if decorating it and also being functional has been hindering me. Last year I bought the Hobonichi weeks because I liked the idea of not having giant day spaces in case I don't do much those days that way I still feel productive. But I have barely used it. I want one that I can be excited about and is still smaller but maybe a bit bigger than the weeks. What planners got you into the hobby and how do you carve out time for it?
I'm looking for a planner that starts with this upcoming academic year (not a student but an employee at a school) with some specific wants- I would love for it to be daily with monthly calendar overviews, I like an hourly breakdown so I can note when my meetings and appointments are, bonus if there's some kind of goal or habit tracking but not required. I'm not very artistic so it doesn't have to be bullet or grid style, in fact I'd prefer it more structured. Thanks!
i tested my inks in the aura estelle 2027 planner which has tomoe river paper.
only one ink performed poorly - but it might be bc i added a bit of tea tree oil to it (which i regret). Also the same ink performed poorly with the midori md paper.
happy planner season everyone :) i’ve committed. i was debating between this and the yellow 411 A5 but ended up choosing this one for some structure. happy to see that the said structure doesn’t appear to be too restrictive (except for the corner calendars, which i admittedly don’t like a lot). i just had to open this up to see if a clear cover i had could fit it (it did not fit). so excited to set this up in december (planner has a monday start on 28 dec 2026!). there are 17 blank pages after the last day (2 january 2028, sunday). so it starts on a monday and ends on a sunday. let me know if you have any questions (except for pen testing since i won’t be writing in this anytime soon)
not pictured: one of the strap bookmarks is striped blue-and-yellow hehehe
p.s. THE PICTURES DON’T DO IT JUSTICE I’M SORRY!! (i have an iphone 13)
Of course, I need to migrate incomplete tasks from last week, but right now just reveling in the refreshing feeling of opening to a clean spread for the week!
For the curious, brain dumps or brainstorming go on the left page. Weekly task on the top left column of the right page, notes and things to remember on the bottom half of the right page, and miscellaneous scratch pad on right column. Been using this system for three years now, so I no longer label my sections.
Hi! Does anyone know if planner stickers that have a weekly view or are similar to the ones leuchtturm just announced?
Weep…confirmed: she’s not going to make them for 2027
help me find an alternative? horizontal and vertical week on a single spread, followed by 2 blank pages?
Hey, I've been so down the last couple of days. I need to get my organization and thoughts in order but nothing seems to work out.
I tried ring planers before because I like the versatility of adding peaces and removing them quickly but it also overwhelmed me at the same time. Too much decoration and stuff is distracting for me and pulls me away from the actual work, but no stimulation at all bores me.
With ring planers my biggest dislike is that the rings bother me when I am writing on the go. I need a system where I can quickly write down my thoughts without it being a big hassle as to how I position the planer.
After that I tried travelors notebook which I still have but it's also not quite right enough.
With this I like that writing on it is very smooth and convinient because no rings and it is nice and slim. But I don't like that I can't switch pages easily and put one page inserts into it.
Honestly, I would need a system that combines the good of both of these planers.
I need a place where I can easily and quickly grab my stuff and write something on the go but I also need a fixed place where I store information that is just for flipping through or looking at, no writing on the go required.
I find it too hard to combine these things. I also want things to be divided by topics, not mashed together. I get confused too easily when things are not seperated but I also wouldn't want to carry two planers at the same time.
It needs to be clearly seperated but not split apart. I know it's difficult with my brain 😅.
I am so desperate to find a solution. My life is falling apart because I can't get anything done without becoming organized 😢.
Do you have thoughts on my predicament?
Hello, I’m looking for recs for an undated monthly-only planner for 2-3 years that’s available in Canada. I’m looking for it to meet the following criteria as well:
-Not spiral bound (I’m left handed)
-hard cover (durable for multiple year use)
-quality/thick paper
-note/free space pages at front or back and/or column beside each month or on opposite page.
No preference for sizing. I’ve looked in to hemlock and oak but I only need monthly and no extra journaling pages between the months.
Thanks so much!
Hi! I thrifted this planner and have checked with staples, day runner, at a glance, jet pens, franklin covey, and amazon and haven’t been able to find blank page (lined or otherwise) refills for this planner! the inserts are 6.75x4.5. the part that is tricky is the ring pattern, it seems to be an old design or something that is no longer made? the existing refills that match the ring pattern are too long for the zipper. I’m hoping someone may be able to assist me, thank you!
note: everything that’s in there was already in there when i got it!!
note2: distance between the three rings is 3/4 inches and large gap between the two groups is 2 inches
note3: guys i THINKKKK we figured it out. i think this is a personal wide cover. i ordered some inserts and will keep yall updated 🫡 ty to everyone !!!!!
edit: corrected the measurement of the insert
I’m looking for a true A6 daily planner. I have an A6 travelers style ecosystem (not A6 slim). I love the layout of the Hobonichi original but I’ve never had a Hobonichi before so I don’t know how hard it is to actually get one. I’ve always used Filofax and am new to this type of planner and never struggled to find what I needed. I’ve been looking online for options and I really like the Aura Estelle layout but they don’t have an A6 option for 2027. I looked at Wonderland 222 but they don’t have a daily option. I feel like I’ve exhausted the search for all the well known companies so I’m coming to here to see if there are small business brands that make true A6 daily planners. I’d love it if it was Tomoe River paper since I’ve never tried it before but it’s not a deal breaker if it isn’t. Thanks!
As titled, I'm looking for a vertical weekly planner with time blocks and some blank space to write out tasks for each day. So far, the only thing I've found is the "NOLTY Noritsu Notebook A6 Vertical Carrel" and another from Mark's Style, all on Amazon. Would anyone know of other options, and could help me make a better choice? TIA!
I hope everyone has a great week ahead. :)
I’ve finished bullet journals before but never a proper planner. I cannot believe it! The prompts helped me stay very intentional this summer and grow in some cool ways. I never would’ve found it without this sub, so THANK YOU!!
Now, do I keep going with another full focus planner or move to a basic undated “journal” planner with months in the front and blanks days? It’s a lot to write, and I don’t feel like I need the prompts as much now that I’ve practiced all summer. Or is that a mistake?
