This year, I have fell in love with the Hobonichi cousin planner, but struggled to find a way to use it to its fullest potential. Just as I was going to give up, something clicked in my mind so I decided to try it out this week. It has been one of the most productive week this year, and I can really sense a change in the way I think of time. I have also decided to memory keep in a brand new Hobonichi cousin and that has been so much fun also because I just really gravitate towards this notebook.

I wanted to share with you how I have set up my Hobonichi cousin for both functional planning and also memory keeping and hopefully it can give you an idea or two if you are like me and also struggled with this planner.

    I like that colour coding and underline combo. I’m going to try that 🙂
  • @Thatgeekishfamily
    Thanks! I love how you focused just on business - and it helps me see some ideas how to use this more without focusing so much on the decoration (which is awesome and cute - but too cluttered for my brain and make some lose track!) I love some of your ideas.

    I literally took notes to make the transition to two cousins as I realized after one month I needed two. Thanks for explaining so well. This is so helpful!
  • @Kdmud
    Oh my goodness, found your videos just in time! I have the exact situation, Hobonichi 5 year, Weeks and Cousin and kind of struggling how to work with them together. Your ideas are perfect for my needs, so thank you. I will be catching up on all your videos!
  • @Helenistique
    I love your ideas here! I am totally following your videos to pick up anything and everything that's working out for functional planners!!

    New subscriber. Love the video. I am awaiting my first Hobonichi and am watching YT videos to get ideas. Thank you. 🙌🏼

    Just switched to the Hobo Cousin Avec jul-dec and I’m still working out the kinks but your video has helped!
  • @clairesun1373
    this was super helpful! 💕 i was just worrying about my time management
  • @Nina771118
    Great video! I'll use several of your methods 😁
  • @JessDK82
    I'm finding your videos about the hobonichi cousin really helpful (just got my first hobonichi yesterday). Would you please consider doing a video about which pens you use?

    I was thinking about doing photos in my silhouette too lol. Two days at a time is a good idea though I’m afraid it’ll just be a backlog I never get to. (So far that’s true lolol) and I agree, I love flipping through photos, it’s not the same on a phone! 😭
  • Do you carry one of these with you , working on my decision for 2021😊 thank you~ great ideas

    Hi Catherine! Great video :) I am curious with your purple things though -- maybe I missed it, but you said that your weekly is for your things that you have done during the day. Does the purple dot mean that you had started to do those things but somehow ended up not finishing it?
  • I have been going back and forth for a month about whether to memory keep in a stalogy or hobonichi cousin! I went with the stalogy so I could skip days or use more pages if needed, but now I’m second guessing 🤔 Also I recently tried to print some photos on my Epson printer for memory journaling and they came out terrible. What printer would you recommend? Thank you!
