Thanks for your comment. I know the Weeks is all I need because I have tried all the other sizes and. Types of Hobonichi- A6, Cousin, Planner, weeks Mega, Day Free…. What I need has depended on what my planning is like for that particular year and what stage of life I’m in. For instance, I’ve sometimes had two planners, one for personal and one for work/study. I used the cousin one year for planning and note taking. I used the English planner A6 once for daily journaling. I used to decorate my planners and spent a lot on supplies.

The past few years I have been quite minimalist in my planning. I use the stencils to make boxes and the mild liners if I need to highlight something. I haven’t used stickers in two years. I don’t write everything down but instead use a running to do list on the right page and write in my day specific tasks and appointments on the left weekly page. I keep track of some collections (books read, housekeeping lists, etc) in the notes section. I have separate notebooks for some of my hobbies. I keep a journal in a Dingbats but don’t write daily. I use a Midori B6 Slim as an extra notebook for taking notes or making lists.

So after all that… I know from experience that I only need a Weeks with the features I listed in my first comment. And, rather than get caught up in the hype, I just order one Weeks and try not to watch all the videos that make me have FOMO. YouTube, insta, etc are tools for many to sell their products and I realized that minimal planning is my style.
