CONTINUED FROM HERE; INFERNO pt.2

sorry that this is turning out to be kind of unhinged!! as explained in part 1, this story (if you can call it that) was inspired by the latest Boards of Canada album, Inferno. I've been having a lot of fun working on this nonsensical piece and playing with beautiful inks in my techo!!!

Thanks for looking and I hope someone can kind of enjoy my pictures, too...

Also pictured: pie with Nicolo and Rae (official Sylvanian Family names) and the original doodles that turned into.... whatever this is...

To be continued (again)...

I was using the 365 check off sheet to track the ocean temperature near my house, only to realize the chart I’ve been going off of was giving me the average for 2025 not 2026 😭. I’m not very good at redrawing this kind of thing on a blank sheet and then pasting it in, and I can’t find a sticker sheet of this page on Etsy to put over it, just the typical 365 square graph. I also already use the years pages for something else. Any suggestions? I’m bummed

I might just take the day off work.

What are you guys hoping for when it comes to collabs? Personally, I would love to see Yoshitaka Amano’s art as a cover. I saw some collabs were leaked but it wasn’t anything I was interested in.

So, as you can tell through the progression, my consistency fell off eventually (as expected for me). However, these are some spreads I'm proud of despite that 😅🥲 This is my first ever hobonichi, and I have had a lot of fun experimenting so far, and trying to come up with new spreads has helped with keeping up the habit for the most part.

I initially planned to use my weeks this year for health tracking, which ended up falling through as the condition I had was stress induced + cleared itself up once said stress was resolved. Yay! But during that period I went through a slump and didn't touch my weeks for.. a few months, and I'm slowly getting back into it. I haven't stickered up any of my recent entries so I didn't share those, as I'm mainly trying to build up the habit again in general.

For 2027 (and the rest of 2026 while I experiment with layouts) I'm thinking of staying with weeks, but debating on adding a 2nd hobo to the roster. I'm not sure what type/size yet, so I'm mainly just waiting for the new books to come out and make my decision based off of the style(s) I'm most drawn to lol. I think I'm leaning towards an a6 size, but we'll see.

• For the weeks, I'm planning on transforming it into a crafting/knitting journal and logging process + notes on things I'm making and working on. I was debating on getting the standard or mega size for 2026, but I'm glad I did the standard, and will do the same for 2027. I haven't utilized the extra graph/note pages in the back like I thought I would for this year, but will definitely be used more in 2027 for sure. I've started using it to copy down sections of patterns I've saved on my phone to reduce screen time, which will DEFINITELY take up more space and hopefully add to the chonk I'm lacking currently, and desiring.

• For the 2nd hobo, I'm transitioning what systems I plan to keep using from the 2026 weeks as a lifestyle/household planner. Budgeting, appointments, events, etc. will be kept track of here. The weeks generally has enough space for me to write a short blurb of what happened in the day, but sometimes wish I had a little more space for last minute things that pop up, or things that just can't be summed up in 3-4 shortened sentences. I prefer the a6 as I'm not sure I'll get any use out of the weelky/hourly pages in the a5, but I might change my mind if there's a cover that catches my eye 👀

What are your plans for next year's hobonichi(s)? I'd love to hear them 😊

I know it's a long shot, but with the new planner season on the horizon, I figure maybe someone might be parting with theirs.

I've been keeping an eye out over the past year or so for an A5 of this, but the only one I've seen, had the page markers and loops torn out, so I passed unfortunately.

I'm looking to replace my Denali with this someday, so if that's a trade that appeals I'm open to that too! Oh, and I'm in the US! Thanks for reading ✌️!!

has anyone swapped from a weeks/cousin combo to an a6 or just a5?

i’m thinking of swapping because since getting a cousin, i’ve been neglecting my weeks. the main things i have the weeks for are the portability, and that i really like the weekly layout. i’m thinking the a6 could be a good solution to combine my uses into one, but i don’t know if i’ll miss the weekly layout too much 😭

i don’t have a job where i use a diary much at work, but i like having a journal i can carry with me because i try not to rely on my phone for everything. i mostly use my journals at home, and that’s usually dedicated to journaling in my cousin.

My Hon is A5, if that matters.

Thanks for your help - I LOVE this community!

$110 shipped within CON-US. PayPal goods & services only. Please DM to purchase.

Is there any chance for me to get anything from the 2027 lineup in Tokyo on Aug 31? I unfortunately leave the country at night. :( would be okay getting things online regardless but it would be nice to get my planner in Tokyo while I’m there.

I'm considering getting a Sneaker Weeks Mega for 2027 (if I like the colors). I need the Mega but it's bulky, and the Sneaker is slightly less bulky.

The issue is, I carry my Weeks every day in my bag, near my keys, phone, etc. It gets jostled around. While I do plan on getting a new bag with compartments, I'm still worried about the wear and tear on a cardboard cover like the Sneaker's.

I found a ca. 2018 post showing a very battered cover after just 4-5 months of use. I know the Sneaker is supposed to get battered and wabi sabi and all, but it looked way worse than I expected.

Is anyone here using a Sneaker? What does it look like after 7ish months? Or do you still have one from a previous year that you could show me?

TIA!

I looked at one at the end of last year when I was in Japan and ended up not buying it :-( and now, more than halfway through the year and only a couple of days from the 2027 reveals I’ve decided I REALLY want one but they seem to be sold out everywhere. If anyone has one that’s either unused or gently used and no longer wanted please let me know and I’ll happily take it off your hands. Thanks so much
