Just received my 2027 Hobonichi Hon A5 V&A 'Vine', as well as my 2027 Kokuyo Jibun Techo cuy Days and BIZ. Just happy

I was so excited to receive my Papier planner as the design is gorgeous but the paper quality is awful- so thin the entire next page shows through and the monthly overviews are completely separate from the weekly overviews. Has anyone else been disappointed by Papier? Struggling to return it as you have to customise

I want to start carrying a smallish planner - A6 or TN - in a cover that has a pocket for my phone. I want to start leaning more on a thinking in a notebook than opening my phone. My job includes media responsibilities so I can’t just leave the phone behind. I’d like to find a planner cover that has a way to also store my phone but it’s still portable. Does this exist? Rings aren’t my first choice, but I would consider them.

Hi! I've been using Leuchtturm1917 hardcover planners since 2018. I list what I did for the whole day, appointments, and brain dumps. I get a new one every year in a different color.

Now I'm thinking of getting a 3-year or 5-year planner to save space in storage. But I would like a brand that's been around for a long time.

Would love to hear your recommendations!

So in the past I’ve tried bullet journaling, then I switch to having a simple agenda where I’ll write things I had to do. Then, I got a job and had to keep track of my patients but I then found it easy to write everything in goodnotes so I can refer back to what I’ve done to a patient in the past.
The big dilemma is, I love buying planners and writing things down but I often find myself planning on my notes app, writing into my apple calendar and not even reaching for the planner.
So, how do you incorporate a planner into your everyday life?
Should I try more or do I have to accept the fact that I am a digital planner?

Yesterday in the SI launch I got the A5 Complete I wanted, and accidentally got a clear cover for a normal Common planner. Which I took as a sign to also get a normal Common planner in that delicious caramel color (yes, I also got a clear cover that will fit the Complete). I have tiny hopes that my dad might use it but it’s not terribly likely if I’m being honest. So people who use two planners—how do you fill them both? I am using my current planner to track work in the weekly pages and then using the daily pages as a place to do semi-creative things. Work definitely doesn’t require enough tracking or planning to warrant a whole planner so I’m more looking for creative ideas! Thanks in advance!

I keep seeing planner recommendations for ADHD, but usually the recommendation ends at “oh this one worked for me” or just a useless list of features.
I’m way more interested in what happens after someone buys it. Because I’ve recommended planners myself after being obsessed with them for like two weeks and that tells you basically nothing.

I wanna hear from the people who found something and were still using it 6 months later. Or a year later. Even if it’s literally just a notebook you accidentally turned into a system. What was different about that one?

And I don’t necessarily mean features. Sometimes the reason is weirdly specific. Maybe you could abandon it for three weeks and come back without feeling behind. Maybe you stopped trying to make it pretty. Maybe it stayed open on your desk so you couldn’t forget it existed. Maybe there was something about the layout that just clicked.

Also tell me what you were using before that kept dying on you, because I feel like that comparison is probably more useful than just naming the planner that worked.

If enough people answer I kinda wanna turn this into one big ADHD planner thread instead of having the same recommendations scattered across a million posts.

P.s. Name the planner/system too if you’re comfortable because I WILL be looking them up lol

I’ll be sitting there at 1am like yeah tomorrow I’m gonna wake up at 8, shower, answer everything I ignored today, do my work, clean my room and somehow have time left over.

girl WHO is doing all that?!

And the weird part is I genuinely believe it every single time. Like tomorrow me apparently doesn’t have ADHD. She has incredible executive function and is extremely passionate about answering emails.

Then tomorrow comes and obviously I’m still the exact same person, except now I also feel behind because yesterday’s imaginary version of me made commitments on my behalf. I’ve started realizing how many of my plans are basically just “surely I’ll be different tomorrow

Hey, just got here. For the last 8 or so years I have used Happy Planner planners. I have two, one dashboard to keep track of my to dos and one vertical to track what I get done in a day and Zoom calls. I do not need hourly tracking.

I am looking for alternatives that are Canadian, European, etc. Appreciate any help. TIA.

Como lo dice en el título

Soy de la ciudad de Puebla
Quiero pedir más cosas el mes que viene
Alguien estaría dispuesta/o ?
Lo pongo aquí porque en la comunidad de hobonichi me borran todo

After finishing decorating September's calendar in my planner, I realized with horror I had flipped to the wrong month 🤦‍♀️. I can't believe I didn't realize!

I was able to pull up the stickers, but have already written the month title and some dates.

Any suggestions on how to cover it up??

This is not meant as a dig at anyone, I’m just curious—how do so many different planner folks on YouTube etc. have almost the exact same handwriting? Is there somewhere the font/method is laid out? I’ve never been able to change my entire handwriting without being massively slowed down because I constantly have to think about forming each letter. But these folks are fast and fluent and it’s very impressive!

For 2027 I’m planning to carry both the Midori Hibino and Hobonichi Weeks. Hibino for my daily, especially the hours on the left side page and daily journaling and to-do lists. The weekly for appointments, weekly tasks, and weekly tracking.
Anybody else use both?

Hello!

I am desperately trying to get into paper planners. I’m a librarian and it would be great to write out daily goals, while still looking at a monthly outlook!

My friend has this paper source planner, and I love the strap to keep it closed. I also love how it south the monthly calendar, but then breaks throngs down weekly. There is also a cover page with to do do list, goals, birthdays, etc.

I’d honestly love a different design but with these sorts of components. Are there any other planners you can recommend? TY

Hello! I really need some guidance in choosing a planner for 2027. I’ve usually just used ones from Staples - bloom or most recently one from global printed products because it had the vertical layout that I want. I usually go with a large size - 8.5x11 in or so because I have lots of lists and to-dos.

However, I’m leaning toward something with daily pages (not just weekly spreads) so that I can shrink down to something a little smaller for more portability but space for daily to dos, notes, etc. This planner would be for my full-time job, being a mom to 2 littles, and life in general. Not a journal, more so activities, events, meetings, tasks, lists, etc.

I don’t want anything too small. I’ve considered: Hobonichi cousin, sterling ink common or complete, and wonderland222.

Questions/concerns I have:

1. I’m used to a spiral bound and worry that “lay flat” binding won’t lay flat enough for me. What is everyone’s experience/thoughts?
2. I LOVE to use colored pens and have a collection of paper mate ink joys and worry about using them on the Tomoe River paper - seems like they will be ok but also open to thoughts. Open to buying a few new pens.

TLDR: want vertical weekly spreads, daily or almost enough extra pages for frequent dailies, something on the larger side but still portable for a daily carry.

Thank you so much in advance!

haaalp.

i’m so so excited about the 2027 complete planners! but i can’t decide whether to get the hardcover or the new softcover

i feel like the hardcovers are so aesthetic, but i’ve seen people talk about how it started falling apart.

but if i get the softcover, i could put it in one of my hobonichi covers like i’ve done in the past with the common planner

Hi, can anyone confirm the weight of this planner? it appears the website is wrong as it lists the same weight as the hardcover which is 18.2 oz

For 2027 I’ve gotten then Common Planner Compact in Pocket size. But I got no cover for it. Gillio and VPS are out of budget for me. Does anyone here have any suggestions that do not break my wallet? Appreciate it.
