Why it worked

The video resonates with viewers who struggle with perfectionism in their planning habits, offering a relatable narrative about finding a system that works for them rather than forcing a popular one. The creator's vulnerability and honest reflection on their planning journey create a strong connection with the audience.

Summary

The creator discusses their experience with Hobonichi Weeks planners, noting that while they love the brand, the specific format of the Weeks planner didn't suit their planning style. They found themselves struggling with perfectionism and leaving pages blank, leading to a feeling of burnout. However, they discovered a different type of journal that better fits their needs for unstructured writing and creative expression.

Original caption

I’ve seen a lot of posts where hobonichi users have mentioned that the paper quality has declined over the years. While I agree that the pages are on the thinner side, that wasn’t the deciding factor for me. The deciding factor was that I don’t think I’m the type of planner girly that hobonichi was built for 😅 My dear friend (@Marlene Pinho) summed it up really well in her recent hobonichi review which you should check out! She articulated and explained it all beautifully, and I resonated with everything she said! I’m very excited to share the planner I found with you all very soon! 💗

Product placement

Hobonichi Weeks: ACTS - the product is a planner/journal that the creator uses to plan their week and jot down thoughts. Removing it would change the video's focus. Moleskin: ACTS - the product is a journal that the creator uses for brain dumps. Removing it would change the video's focus.

Transcript

I will be repurchasing Hobonichi Weeks this year and it's reason this is my second year of owning a Hobonichi Weeks. I love and they come out with the weeks isn't for me. I used dedicate every Sunday to filling the sat and planning my upcoming week. As you can see, I had a pretty decent streak in the beginning of the year, but at a point it started more like a chore because as horrible as it sounds, I would have weeks where I was doing absolutely nothing but the same work each day. Nothing exciting for the weekend and I honestly didn't have the creative bandwidth to think about how I could repurpose this empty page in front of me. I would go weeks, months without filling it out and this is probably the perfectionist in me, but seeing empty pages in a planner really bums me out. I just feel like I lose all the momentum. I've do well with as journals without for example, my (moleskin) reaching this or whenever I jot having that unstructured to write really prompts me to let go of my perfectionism and for 2027, I did find that I feel sweet spot for me. It's not Hobonichi really, but I am really share a video it very soon. Happy Hobonichi day to those who celebrate!
