I vote an enthusiastic YES! for the headache doodle with the nails, the brain fog (PERFECT for us in perimenopause, fun times!), and the anxiety doodle too :( It is funny how we are all thinking forward to 2025 and what we will keep/change for our planner systems.

Ok, yes to making the headache, anxiety, and fog Emotis for sure!! I’m the same way about new music that I listen to. It takes me a good 5 or 6 times of hearing it to decide if I like it. Luca is getting so big and such a cutie!! Your Mom is so beautiful and I knew she must be after meeting you. Your height is definitely a strength and not something to be down about. My youngest daughter is tall and always felt bad about it when she was in school, but now she loves it. You’re amazing and I love you ♥️😘

I love your monthly reviews!!! So nice. I am also a tall woman, and I know the sentiments behind getting comfortable with being the tallest and all the other things that come with being tall. It took time to get comfortable with who I am, and it is such an excellent space to be in after you overcome that feeling. ❤❤

One thing I tell alot of people with teh cousins weekly... Is mine is the most functional part of my planner only because it is my daily to do list section / habit tracker / daily reminder / where I put all those little notes you would normally use a sticky note for. It's never super cute, but it's the place that keeps me accountable (even for things like hey remember to drink some water) I need all the journaling room I can get (and i can't perceive time - thanks adhd) so using the weekly for that gives me so much more room

Like the brain fog and headache doodles. I'd use those a lot. I've tried to commit to buying a photo printer but I have a hard time doing it because using my regular printer works just fine. I *could* print on label paper to make them stickers too, but again, cutting and sticking down works just fine. Just afraid I will regret shelling out for a photo printer.

Hi Helen! That is quite the odd food combination. But if you like it, I don't see a problem. My weird food combination is a peanut butter, lettuce, and cheese sandwich with a little mayo.

I might give a mini thermal printer a try. The pictures might fade in a few years and it's only black and white but the paper is very thin and the photos are saved in my cloud too. It can also print on transparent sticker paper and do banners or labels.

After 4 years of the cousin I have given up trying to find a use for the weekly pages, I just don't need them. I love my monthlies and my dailies so if hobonichi ever offered the day to a page in A5 I would switch to that but for now I love my cousin and just completely ignore the weekly pages

@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo

Ай бұрын

I might do that at some point hahaha. The daily pages bring me so much joy!

I am struggling with the daily pages on my hobonichi cousin but love the weekly pages! Um, I DONT recommend the HP sprocket - I’m pretty sure I had a dud but all my pictures have lines on them and the colour is way off, in short the quality is terrible. And I read that all zink (zero ink) printers like the sprocket and the Canon ivy do not have good quality to begin with. I think you’re better off getting a photo printer that uses dye sublimation, like the Kodak mini retro, Polaroid hi-print or Canon selphy - I have an older Canon selphy model that has died but the print quality is so good (when it worked) - the pictures are still vibrant and true to colour after so many years

How do you differentiate take a note & cousin daily pages... (I am in a planner questioning phase myself...) They seem similar.
