Techo Kaigi 2023

2023 is drawing to a close and the new planners are sitting in my drawer, calling to me in all their pristine loveliness. But before I talk about 2024, how did 2023 go?

Pretty well, actually.

I started 2023 with the following planners:

Daily personal journal: Hobonichi Cousin

Daily carry: Hobonichi Weeks Mega

Commonplace book: Hobonichi A5 notebook

Writing journal: Hobonichi A5 notebook

Health journal: Hobonichi Weeks

Work journal: Hobonichi A6 Techo

Overflow/bullet journal: Midori Codex A5

By the end of 2023 (actually, by about mid-2023) only two of those got switched out for something else and one got added. Which is pretty good. There are, however, a few other changes I am making next year. I’m going to go through each in detail.

Were these the right journals for me?

Actually, yes. Although there is some reconfiguring, the basic principles of the journals above is going to remain consistent. I need a place to write personal journal entries that stays at home and a place to track things and make notes on the go. I enjoy both writing and commonplacing. If I want to focus on my health, having a dedicated journal helps. And I keep a separate journal for work because it may contain information that shouldn’t really go outside of work. And then sometimes I overflow into another space because I want to deep dive on something that doesn’t really fit in the others. None of this is changing.

Daily Personal Journal

The 2023 Hobonichi Cousin is going to move into … the 2024 Hobonichi Cousin. This book works really well for me. The finder details of how I use it did evolve a bit over the year, but I think I’m happy with where I ended up. I did consider moving into the Avec as my Cousin is fairly chonky at this point, but I prefer to have the book in English. I will use this in mostly the same way as last year as well:

3 months to a page view: I have no idea what I will do with this next year, but I had no idea last year either.

Monthly pages: I write a daily highlight on each day.

Weekly pages: I currently use these for planning, but this will move to the daily carry. So I am expecting this to become a space for gratitude/manifestation.

Daily pages: personal daily journal entries.

Daily Carry + Bullet Journal

Although the Weeks was nice, I found I ended up feeling things got a bit lost in the weekly view. I pretty much only used it for key dates. I had a Midori Codex as a bullet journal (briefly) but it never worked well for me as I really don’t like Midori paper (a discovery from this year) and it wasn’t something I could carry around. So I tried a Traveller’s Notebook, and again, the paper (which is the same, so I should have realised this would happen) was not to my taste. I solved both by getting a 240 page Sterling Ink TN notebook. This has worked well.

For next year, I wanted to consolidate these into one book. Although the weeks and the TN are smaller dimensionally, carrying both is quite bulky! I decided to get a Sterling Ink Common Planner (2 part book) in A5. I expect it to be used as follows:

3 months to a page view: seriously, I never know what to do with these pages.

Monthly pages: key dates and events

Weekly pages: time based daily planning - what do I do when. This will double as time tracking.

Blank pages: bullet journal which for me acts as a place to work when I’m out and about, as well as an overflow journal. I expect to also use it to write consolidated to do lists.

Creativity + Commonplace Journal

Last year was the first time I kept a commonplace book and this really suits my way of working. I have just about filled it. I did add a separate journal for writing learning, a Weeks Sterling Ink, but this is too small really.

I need somewhere to plan my creative activities, and also to plan this website! Especially as I have a lot of pre-planned content for next year that will need some serious planning to fully prep. So this will be moving into a Sterling Ink Common Planner (2 part book) along with my commonplace book. I originally brought this journal for work, but that ended up being the wrong choice. However, it ends up working out just fine as a combined creativity planner and commonplace book.

3 months to a page view: index.

Monthly pages: website and social media posting schedule. I want to be able to look back and see what got planned and what got posted.

Weekly pages: day to day creative planning - writing, the website, reading, etc.

Blank pages: commonplace book and creative ideas.

Bonus journal: A5 Sterling Ink 520 page learning journal

I will keep the learning separate. It makes it easier for me to re-read it and finding all my notes is going to be increasingly important next year for the content I have planned here.

Writing Journal

The Hobonichi notebook worked well last year as the smoothness of the tomoe river paper makes it a joy to write in. I really need the low feedback paper to write without my hands hurting. But, this year I want to focus on a daily writing habit, so I wanted a daily journal. And I wanted to use the new A5 Hobonichi Hon, but was a bit worried about how it would bulk up as my daily journal. So my new writing journal is the Hobonichi Hon A5.

3 months to a page view: actual daily ‘wordcount’. I want to be able to see the patterns of writing I manage to complete.

Monthly pages: I wanted a place to do mini doodle/zentangle art every day. As I don’t really need the monthlies for anything writing wise, I am going to use this space for that.

Weekly pages: responses to prompts, ideas - anything I feel the need to capture. This won’t really be ‘weekly’.

Daily pages: writing

Bonus journal: A5 Sterling Ink 520 page worldbuilding project journal

As my days vary quite a lot, I know I might not actually write every day. But I can write the equivalent of every day. The idea is to try and keep up with the days and that is why I am also recording the actual daily pages written. I also have a worldbuilding project planned and this will be kept in its own journal. Its an alternative history world so I will need to do a lot of research and then ‘adjust’ reality.

Health Journal

The Hobonichi Weeks was perfect for this. I recorded calories and activity against each day and then used the back pages for planning food shops. I am going to switch to the Sterling Ink Common Planner Weeks Compact for 2024 only because I think the vertical weeklies will be better than the horizontal ones (if I’m wrong, I can always get a Hobonichi Weeks).

Work Journal

It turns out I hate A6. I also think having a weekly overview is better. As is being able to keep my notes in the same book. I changed to a an Undated Sterling Ink Common Planner and I plan to stick with that. I got the ‘half year’ size so I can carry it around more easily.

Is everything Sterling Ink or Hobonichi?

Pretty much. There are two reasons for this that I can now articulate pretty clearly:

Tomoe River paper. I love this paper. Fountain pen inks never feather, even the wetter ones. Its incredibly smooth, and reduces feedback, which in turn reduces pain in my hands.

The grid size. This is perfect for me.

There are other companies out there who can meet this need. I did consider the Wonderland planner for a work planner. I also looked at Aura Estelle and I may get an Undated from here when my current work journal runs out (it depends how many of the note pages I end up using).

That is a lot of journals!

Its only 8. Well, 9 because I expect to use another journal as a record of a big trip I am taking next year. I know it seems a lot, but with the exception of the Worldbuilding Project journal, all of these were things I used last year. And most were filled (or will be full either by the end of the month, or when they come to their natural end). That being said, no one should feel like they have to have this many journals. I started with one - a single bullet journal. I ended up filling it very quickly, which is when I started to have more than one. You have too many journals if:

They are the ‘right’ journal, but you can’t fill them/keep up with them.

Keeping up with them is causing you stress.

Other than this, the correct number of journals is the number that help you function day to day, in all areas of your life. That bring you joy when you use them. I would find trying to cram everything into one book and running out of space stressful. This is what works for me, and in 2024, I will be sticking with it.

Listen, I know I kind of clowned on Hobonichi in some of my initial impressions posts, but I caved and bought a HON...

I stand by what I said about them being overpriced, especially with how quickly the cover on my little A6 notebook fell apart. However, I think the daily pages in a Techo would serve me really well in the coming year because I've been keeping daily entries consistently for the past few months. And while those entries aren't always super long or take up a full A5 page worth of space, it's still creating significant bulk in my 6-ring binder. An A5 Cousin/HON seemed too daunting for me to try and fill daily, so I opted for the A6. And I did originally want the Japanese version, but I found an English version on Ebay for a significantly lower price (with the Hobonichi store freebies included) and decided it was worth it to buy secondhand, even if it's not exactly what I wanted. I did a lot of price comparing between ordering on Amazon vs the Hobonichi store and between the Original Techo with accessories (not included with a Cousin or HON) vs getting a HON with the freebies. In the end, I think this was the most cost effective purchase that also fulfills what I really wanted the most (I couldn't stay away from the gorgeous Yamazakura cover. I mwan just look at it 💖). If I want additional accessories in the future, like a cover or additional pencil board, I could get them later down the line, but I feel pretty good about this initial purchase!

2022 Hobonichi Techos go on sale tonight 📝 

1101 will take orders for next year’s set of beloved planners starting tonight at 10PM ET. Some of the Techo covers, like the new Animal Crossing design we’ve featured above, won’t go on sale until tomorrow or the night after (and a few in October), but the Mother / Earthbound covers and others are available immediately, and some are popular enough they’ll sell out.

The $25 “Planner” / A6 Techo model is likely the one you’ll want, as it’s the only version translated to English, so you can enjoy the quotes that grace every dated page. If you’ve bought a Techo before, this year’s release remains mostly unchanged, though it adds new informational sections on Donburi Rice Bowls and Animal Proverbs/Sayings. The Japanese Techo models work if you’re looking for a bigger/smaller footprint, non-dated pages, or other features -- I prefer the Avec versions that halve the year into two slimmer books.

While other stockists will sell the 2022 Techos if you don’t want to pay international shipping costs or wild customs fees in certain countries, orders through the official site receive extras like a 3-color Jetstream Ballpoint Pen and.. a spoon?

#ColorStory This would be the first post in a series dedicated to colors. The first hue would be Orange. Orange is the colour between yellow and red on the spectrum of visible light. Human eyes perceive orange when observing light with a dominant wavelength between roughly 585 and 620 nanometres. In painting and traditional colour theory, it is a secondary colour of pigments, created by mixing yellow and red. It is named after the fruit of the same name. In ancient Egypt, artists used an orange mineral pigment called realgar for tomb paintings, as well as other uses. It was also used later by Medieval artists for the colouring of manuscripts. Pigments were also made in ancient times from a mineral known as orpiment. Orpiment was an important item of trade in the Roman Empire and was used as a medicine in China although it contains arsenic and is highly toxic. It was also used as a fly poison and to poison arrows. Because of its yellow-orange colour, it was also a favourite with alchemists searching for a way to make gold, in both China and the West. Before the late 15th century, the colour orange existed in Europe, but without the name; it was simply called yellow-red. Portuguese merchants brought the first orange trees to Europe from Asia in the late 15th and early 16th century, along with the Sanskrit naranga, which gradually became part of several European languages: "naranja" in Spanish, "laranja" in Portuguese, and "orange" in English.

do you have a link to the journal you're using? :o I've never seen one with quotes before

A6 size hobonichi techo "planner" (english) version! ^_^

[cafe-vanille]

What do you think of Hobonichi planners? I noticed you had one. They're SO expensive, so I'm wondering why they're so worth the cost? I do like the way they look though...🤔 (this is pet-diary fyi 😁)

Hello! I have a… thing… about planners… so it has taken me a while to reply to this. 

I have used Hobonichi Techo A6, Hobonichi Cousin A5 Avec (two 6-month books), and Hobonichi Weeks. They have their differences. I love they way they look, but the only one of these three that I used consistently for at least two months was the Cousin A5 Avec. I’ve since ordered two other planners and given up on them, and am unsure about what I’ll be using for next semester/year. 

Why are they worth the cost?

It’s all about the paper. Tomoe River paper is a premium Japanese paper that is much thinner than standard copy paper. It is resistant to a lot of bleeding and feathering, making it great for people who like to use fountain pens, watercolor, calligraphy pens, highlighters, etc. It is smooth as heck and I always want to touch it. The only pen I’ve personally used that bled through was a Copic, which bleeds through everything. The paper is just amazing. 

I’ll also mention the features. It lays flat, no matter where you are in the year. The A6 Techo has monthly layouts and a page-per-day. The A5 Cousin has monthly and vertical weekly layouts as well as the page-per-day. The page-per-day feature is something you don’t see in many planners, and the tomoe river paper lets you journal, write notes, paint, or do whatever every day of the year. 

The main reason they are expensive is probably that they are imported from Japan, which means you are either ordering online from the Hobonichi website or from a secondary website like JetPens and therefore covering part of the import cost. Why is this worth it? You can get either a Japanese language or English language planner, but the Japanese is cute and fun to use if you’re interested in or learning Japanese. It’s also one of the only ways to get your hands on the paper. 

What about a cover?

Covers are not necessary, but are cute and fans collect them like mad. You can order an official Hobonichi cover with your order through the Hobonichi website or JetPens, on Etsy, or through various facebook groups. Or you can just use an A6 or A5 notebook cover! Just search around on youtube for “hobonichi A6 in ____ cover” and you can often find examples of people using other brand covers on their Hobonichi. Otherwise, you can find offbrand covers on Etsy, Aliexpress, etc. For a minimalist cover, I used a Midori A5 Notebook Cover on my Hobonichi A5 Cousin Avec and it fit perfectly, keeping my notebook thin and portable. 

If you want to save money but try them out…

I really suggest looking at Etsy or Facebook Hobonichi BST groups. You can often find a single Avec  book (Jan-Jun / Jul-Dec) in either the A6 or A5 size for lower cost. Some people also sell their lightly used planners if they decide it wasn’t for them. This is also where you’ll find a large community of used and collectible covers. 

You can read tons more details comparing all of these planners, and the Weeks version, on the Hobonichi site!

Hello!

This is Aki! This year I started my journey with Hobonichi Techo. I'm really pleased with it, but what slightly bothers me is there seems to be little to no official translations of all the daily quotes, or any kind of archive for them. Which is a shame truly, cos the community is great.

I'll try my best at transcribing and posting them here, as well as giving my best shot at interpreting the quotes in English, or finding those in the depths of the internet. I'll gladly take advice on better wording; and intel, since it seems like some of the quotes made to the English version of the planner.
