In this plan with me, I’m setting up my Hobonichi Cousin and my Hobonichi Weeks for the week of 1/26–2/1, and I’m doing a little vertical weekly experiment to help me stay more productive. My Weeks is my catch-all, so it’s where I like to keep the quick, real-life stuff—appointments, errands, and the things I need to remember in the moment. My Cousin is more of my reference planner, so I’m using it to map out the week in a way that’s easy to look back on later. I also walk you through how I’m making the vertical layout work for me (instead of fighting it). The whole point of this setup is to create a simple structure that supports my routines and keeps me on track without feeling overwhelming. Of course, I’m decorating along the way with some of my favorite sticker kits and stationery, because making it cozy and cute is part of what keeps me consistent. If you’re trying to figure out how to use a Hobonichi vertical weekly in a practical way, this is a fun, low-pressure way to test it out with me.
