In this chatty November plan-with-me, I’m setting up my Hobonichi Cousin Avec for the month and talking you through how I like to make my planning feel cozy and actually usable. This is very much a “sit with me at my desk” kind of session—where I’m mapping out the month, thinking about what November tends to look like for me, and setting myself up so I can stay consistent without making it feel like homework. Because this video is more about the vibe and the flow than a strict tutorial, the biggest takeaway is how I approach a fresh month: I start simple, give myself room to adjust, and focus on layouts that support real life. If you’re new to the Cousin Avec (or you’re just in a planning slump), this is the kind of reset that reminds you planning can be relaxing—like a little routine you come back to—especially when you let your pages evolve as the month goes on.
