I use the yearly index to write down what bills are due on each day each month and then I highlight them when they are paid. Then the bottom box in each month I put our total income, total in bills and then total put into savings.

As someone who is in absolute planner chaos at the moment this video title is simultaneously exciting and horrifying me 😂

I love the ombre effect on your nails.

For the yearly in the front, I track several things using different "symbols". I use a dot (black is my choice) to mark my autistic meltdowns. I pencil around the dates of my cycle (like a highlight "outline"). I highlight in grey when I have a specific health symptom. I've also started doing a square box with a highlighter around the days when I take a walk. This way I can track several things that are happening the same day, while also getting a great bird's eye view of my year. It's great. Very easy to spot patterns and trends.

I’m an avid knitter/crocheter. I use one of my cousins for planning projects, keeping track of yarn , 🧶 list of projects in process, keeping track of my yarn stash Orders and just a plethora of things

Please do a X number of ways for hobo weeks as well - please 😁

Lots of great ideas I didn't think of. I use the monthly and daily pages as a traditional planner. I like to see the month at a glance separately from the week at a glance. I use the daily pages for journaling and memory keeping. I also make use of the blank pages in the back. Two are for When? as in last and next doctors' appointments (for me and the kids), and one is for home maintenance. One year I used blank pages to jot down all the movies and TV shows I watched and which streaming service it was on. At the end of the year, I found that I watched a lot more Netflix than Amazon Prime or Hulu, so I cancelled the other services.

Such great ideas. 2024 will be the first year using the cousin and I am loving all the ideas and flexibility!

Tip for anybody looking for a super cheap notebook that uses this wonderful paper. You can buy last year's cousin for like four or five dollars and use all the pages in it to scribble out notes or do whatever Year at a glance is great for bi polar

I am planning to use the yearly index pages for tracking how many pages I read per day. I will color in one square for every 10 pages I read and fill the whole row if I read more than 100 pages that day. The spaces below the dates will be used for the titles of the books I read.

I like the idea of the yearly index for the day pages. I’m starting my first Hobinichi Cousin ever, it’s an A5 Hon. Loving the set up thus far.

When tracking the cycle, it is good to have the data from the past year to see the patterns well or to be able to notice changes. I always transfer the markings from my previous planner.

I love that you included lots of Christian-related ideas, I didn’t event think of using hobonichi as a faith journal!

This is by far the most informative and thorough video for this planner! Thank you!!!Just reordered. Last year, I fell off track, but this video has provided new insight into how I can make the best use of this amazing planner!

I use the "This Month" blank page to highlight photos taken during the month. Sometimes, I use older photos for a memories page.

This is very helpful! I've been trying to decide on what to do. This is my first time using a hobonichi

I use the yearly index to keep track of which friend/family member I spent time with or talked on the phone. I try to connect with people who matter to me at least 1/month. In my hon size journal, I write one word that represents that day on the yearly index.

I love using sticker kits and I use the index pages to work out what kits I’m using each week so I don’t over spend on sticker kits 👍🏼

Another very informative video. I love my A5 Cousin, I love A5 rings, but keep coming back to my Hobo cousin. For 2024 I am going to be committed to the one style of planning in my A5 cousin for all things family, home, Drs appointments etc. I also have an A5 Stirling Ink Common planner that I will use for all my own personal well being, self care, bible reading verse of the day, gratitude, crafting etc. Rather than having numerous planners that I just end up being overwhelmed with keeping up. I also have a B6 Stirling Ink common planner that I will use for our monthly weekly budgeting. I hadn't thought about using this for our finances until I watched your video. Thanks as always for sharing your ideas.💖💖💖
