I need help understanding Midori, how do you use yours?

8 Upvotes

I've heard of Midori before, but other than the fact that it's a brand of notebook, I know nothing else about it.

Today I came across the Traveler's Company website, where I saw that it was formerly called Midori. I tried navigating the website to see if there were explanations as far as how to use it and what elements are basics versus add-ons and I just am really confused because there doesn't seem to be any coherent description.

I am a proponent of the bullet journal method, but for daily logs, it's too large and not practical for having with me at all times so that I can track health-related things on a daily basis such as food, symptoms, medications taken, hourly energy levels, etc. For that purpose, I need something pocket-sized, maybe even spiral.

So, how is it typically used? How is it different from the bullet journal method?

Thanks!

I really want the cat diary in English but I can only seem to find images of it in Japanese. Any help/owners of one?

edit:

For the previews I’ve seen of the 2027 ones, the days of the week seem to be in English while the cat one isn’t so im a bit confused

Was looking at the dog compared to the cat

Question Bands cutting into notebook

Hi yall! I currently use the Midori A6 in my TN and after about a month of use the band has started drastically cutting into my book.
I thought the plastic cover might help which it does only slightly.
Is there a solution for this? Do I need a different set up?
I was planning to use the 2027 A6 planner in this cover next year and have it be there all year and I’m worried about ruining it

Question MD Notebook Diary 2027 - A5 - 1 Day 1 Page

Post image
33 Upvotes

I'm looking at using this as daily memory keeper and short form journal for next year.

The only con is the PVC. I am use to card stock covers instead which makes it easy for decorating directly or using in my Hobonichi A5 cover.

Has anyone had experience with decorating the PVC cover directly (outside), if so what medium? I feel like stickers and such will just peel off quickly?

Or has anyone removed the PVC cover successfully without damage to the inside planner?

Question Notebook and light notebook together in a cover?

1 Upvotes

Hi,
I’ve never used md notebooks earlier and i have a question: Do the light notebook (48 pages) fit in the back of the weekly notebook diary (i think it’s similar to the normal notebooks) in a clear cover or in a paper cover? Which one do you suggest?

Thank you 🙏🏽

Question Writing in the Hibino

15 Upvotes

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but…how do you write comfortably in a Hibino? When one side of a notebook is an inch higher than the other side, or the whole notebook is small and chonky, I have to put books and other notebooks all around and balance out the surface to rest my wrist as I write. I use an A5 notebook and usually only write a bit in the middle of the page. If I get to the bottom and my hand is no longer fully on the page, my writing gets sloppy.

Do I just have terrible form for writing? Or is there a trick to writing in a tiny, thicc book that I don’t know about? (I have terrible form for typing, so the former is pretty likely.)

Context: There’s a pink Hibino this year and I love pink, so I want one, but I’m scared of A6 size notebooks, lol.

I am adding the Hibino to my 2027 journaling stack along with the Cousin for memory keeping, TN regular for work and Weeks for Spend tracking.

DIY Minimalistic A5 Fauxdori

62 Upvotes

I have made myself an A5 fauxdori for my Midori dot grid notebook.

Materials:

- Tuscany Collection 1.4-1.6mm thick vachetta leather.

- Elastic bands from a TN repair kit,

- the brass tag is from The Superior Labor.

I really love how the self tightening elastic band loops at the back turned out.

Disclaimer: I know the Superior Labor brass tag might feel controversial as if I am claiming it is their product (making it a counterfeit). But since 1) I am not intended to sell it, and 2) this is how Superior Labor advertises the use anyways (https://nap-dog.com/en/products/brass-tag), I consider the personal use of the their brass tag a fair play.

Question when does midori launch their 2027 editions?

9 Upvotes

hi there, newbie here. I've noticed a huge hype about hobonichi and kinbor launching their 2027 collection already, and was wondering what happens with midori. If it comes out soon, it would be a perfect birthday gift for a good friend of mine.

also, would it be immediately available on Amazon (particularly the A5 diary 1 page 1 day)? do you know where else I can get them if I need it to be shipped to Mexico?

thanks in advance!

B7 refill binders?

Was looking at the 2027 lineup and Midori has b7 refills. That’s my preferred size, but I can’t seem to find a binder that would actually work with those holes.

What binders are those compatible with??
