I have a vicious journaling cycle that gets tired of the setup and what not so then I go to the hobonichi, and then I don’t use all of it or don’t have a need for this or that and then go back to a journal.

Yeah. Just take a look at the 2025 hobonichi paper issue. You may be rolling the dice at getting a bad one. :(

I actually ordered a 2024 A6 for a commonplace (it was on sale so that was nice) but I have completely stopped using the A5 2025. I tried to power through the bad paper and just couldn’t.

There are redating kits that might be easier/less stressful. And you don’t run the chance of getting one of the bad cousins (that’s what I got. A bad run of the 2025, lots of bleed through/ghosting/feathering with pens that I used in the 2024).

I recently finished the first book as well! It was a slow burn to start for me, but really picked up.

This was one of my favorite rides at Disney for YEARS

It is a work in progress but here is my daily template. Some people have some super cool/complex/shortcut driven ones that I envy, but I’m just not quite there.

I love @forevernotes.bsky.social! I do both an analog #bujo and the #forevernotes system. I need to get stronger with my shortcut game and work with my structuring a bit. I have a daily template that I enjoy. Sometimes takin notes digitally is more realistic for me, yet I love journals.

I had a 2024 HON and it’s exactly the same as a cousin just hard bound.

It is a beautiful color!

I approve of the Booger Book.

Everything can be solved with a new planner and new pens.

Your handwriting is beautiful!
