In this video, I’m refreshing my Hobonichi setup by changing my planner cover and making a custom dashboard for my hybrid cloth & paper system. I walk through how I choose a cover that feels right for the season I’m in—something that’s practical, but also calming to come back to every day. The goal isn’t just “pretty”; it’s a cover and dashboard that make planning feel like a slow ritual, not another task. I also share how I design a dashboard that actually supports how I use my planner—keeping the things I reach for most upfront, and letting the setup stay flexible as my needs change. If you’re into Hobonichi Techo planning, journaling, and building a physical system that fits your real life, this is very much that kind of video: quiet, functional, and personal. It’s a gentle reminder that your planner can be customised in small, thoughtful ways so it holds your days more easily—and makes it simpler to organise your thoughts and notice the seasons as you go.
