Over these few years of using Hobonichi Techo planners I am finally comfortable with what I am doing for a daily journal and planner, however, what I am writing in my Hobonichi Weeks specifically is what I want to address in this post.
I love the size and format of the Hobonichi Weeks and it is an even great bonus that I can use my Stieff wallets with them as an everyday carry with credit cards, cash, and the Hobonichi memo pad for grocery lists. I will keep using this as it has been very helpful with tracking my chores and things around the house, but I will stop writing down my expenses on the note page as well as my financial summary in the back extra pages.
Having to write down all of my expenses on the note page really made me tense as I was constantly worrying about how much I was spending on a weekly basis. I now moved all that information to an online excel file and the note page is now open to inspire me with motivation quotes and one important thing I hope to complete each week. I feel like if I complete one small thing I will feel very proud of myself looking back especially now when I am very stressed about work and health-related things.
Before I was using washi tape and wooden stamps to fill in space but now I took it a step further and started coloring with markers and hopefully in the future with fountain pen ink. Seeing all the different colors makes me relaxed especially when I take a minute a day to color in the spaces and decorate it.
Sometimes we need space, a little bit of time, and empty pages for us to start playing with what we have and the creativeness starts to flow. Hope that next year I can keep this up and fully enjoy the process. Hope you enjoyed this post and remember to stay hyped!
