Hi Jenean, What a pleasant video, so happy I found your channel. Looking forward to more videos. I have been using the Hobonichi weeks for a couple of years and just picked up my first Hobonichi cousin avec in July and I’m loving it. Keep inspiring 😊
🫢 Thank you so so much!! The hobonichi planners have changed my life for the better! Who would have known a planner could do that?! I am losing weight using the mega weeks hobonichi to track my food calories and exercise! Doing an update today! jeneancreason18@gmail.com -I do write back ! Love 🌸💗🌸Jenean
Wahooooo!!! Welcome to the planner community !! Stick with it! It takes a bit of force every now and then to get consistent -usually for me it’s the just getting started!! Putting that pen to paper! Planning has changed my life and continues to each and every day! As well as all of you holding me accountable !!! 💗🌸💗Do you know about the stickers ?!
Is it Mari?!!? Your words match my ADHDer brain 🧠!!! Planners keep my brain on track ! It is an assistive brain support to have all my thoughts organized into different categories (hence the numerous planners to sort my behavior change aims!) Better yet, how exciting it is to see myself so motivated to have some youtube friends to hold me accountable and cheer me on! You are making a difference !!! email me !! If you could reference your youtube channel -that would be great ! I am going to have to have a top secret mini planner with a log of names and handles!!! love jenean
Yes the color coding has helped me realize I need to make sure I don’t just hyper focus on just a few area in my life !! I have a few areas that I have been neglecting this year -so trying to change that ! Thank you so much !! 💗🌸💗🌸💗Jenean
I use several planners: hobonichi cousin, hobonichi weeks mega, hemlock & oak week and daily, erin condren hourly, hobonichi 5 year journal. Thank you for all you have shared.
🤩 Woweeeeee!!! That is impressive -and-great variety in planners! Do you have a favorite?! And you are so welcome …thank you joining me! My videos are so so low tech! If you email me: jeneancreason18@gmail.com I will enter you in a drawing I have and then send you a surprise!!! 💗🌸💗🌸💗Jenean
@@thebalancedplanner Hobonichi cousin is my favorite. I like the hemlock and oak set up because it is similar to the hobonichi cousin but the weeks and the daily are in two separate hardback books. It has paper like most bullet journals so I feel it enough of difference in paper that I like both planners. I will continue with continue with hobonichi no matter what. Hemlock and Oak will be part of my set up next year too.
I found you yesterday and you’re so sweet! I also have ADHD so I do a lot of the same trying very hard to stay accountable stuff. Sometimes I will put down in my trackers that I have something done before I do it so then I will HAVE to do it otherwise I would be lying. 😂 My planner lineup right now is just the A6 avec with the weekly supplement. It’s a little small for me so I primarily use my Kaweco sport with an EF nib and that works decently. I do with hobonichi had a B6 size though, that would be so nice. I struggle with having multiple planners because I feel like I need to bring them all with me wherever I go even though I definitely don’t lol! My true love is my Sterling Ink N1 size journal that I try to write in everyday and at least answer Helen’s prompts. Oh, also just so others know, the journal prompts can also be found on the blog on the CoffeeMonsterzCo website. ☺️
You know what ?!!! I am at my parents and I brought all my planners in my planner basket and my TCMC Protect the Peace bag -i get what you are saying! At the same time, those planner really are like my brain 🧠 on paper !! You have a fountain pen !! 🖋️ so envious!!!!! i love the A6 for my reading log! Please PM me jeneancreason18@gmail.com !! Thinking i have something to share with you!!!
The algorithm connected me to your journal prompts vid and now am a new sub and aboard for your 31 day journey. A lot of your goals / challenges are so relatable. Relatively new to the planning / journaling scene (i've "started" many times but it doesn't stick for long). Started by watching lots of vids and hoped to just have one book/planner/system that does it all but seems impossible! Stayed til the end but wonder I'll fall into another rabbit hole (of stickers)...TCMC stuff is so cute though so maybe i can start "small..." Thanks for sharing your journey! You can do it!
I so get that ! Last year was my first year, and, I was spotty for certain. Two planners cousin & weeks, which i was good about for the 75 HARD challenge which was such an amazing experience !! I lost 25 lbs and used my weeks to document ! So bummed I haven’t used my Hobonichi Mega Weeks this year …and that I gained weight that i worked hard to lose 😩!!!! It took me a while to really think about the difference between journaling and planning and think about how we can use those two different behaviors to change our life!!! The hobonichi and HELEN TCMC has changed HOW I LIVE!! With so much greater intention and less winging it! Not saying that I am a superstar at everything -watch Helen’s THECOFFEEMONSTERZCO videos -she is my ideal and you will see how it’s okay 👌🏼 to strive to be better but we don’t have to be perfect-it’s the joy of the journey and the relationships we make along the way! Anyway, with that said, I created goals to combat that feeling of getting stuck like in the same routine, same habits without really choosing them. So, I am hopeful of change even if I am not perfect! Haha and i will be honest! But, I am excited to what happens with 31 days of writing like I already feel happier. Is that weird. Just sitting down with a 🖋️ pen in hand (oh i want a fountain pen!) and writing for an hour is so peaceful, leaving me with feelings of contentment. Isn’t that interesting?! Okay 👌🏼 oooops! There is that ADHD rambling ! Hehe 😜 Thank YOU for encouragement! PM me jeneancreason18@gmail.com !!!
When you said „I live ambitiously“ it really resonated with me hahahaha. I use a hobonichi avec functionally in the monthly and weekly and I journal in the dailies. I also habe a moleskine daily in pocket size for my daily to do list, one weeks for my work and one for media journaling. That’s my lineup hehe. Also I don’t want to enter the giveaway as I do have enough stickers to last me a lifetime. But I do appreciate your offer. Have a wonderful day!
Hello Jenean, I recently found your RU-vid channel and find the way you’re using your Hobonichi planners very interesting. Looking forward to more of your content.
Pamela, so nice to meet you!!!! Thank you -I just am always trying to find ways to change my behaviors so that life is more fun 🤩 (uh less anxiety 😬 means life is more fun!). I love my hobonichi journey (with TCMC Helen designer, creator extraordinaire!!). She has changed the way I live each day by recording what I do and what I would like to do and sometimes what i did (aka backfill!) A hobonichi filled out is my brain recorded on paper! And the paper is just so so lovely to the touch ! PM me jeneancreason18@gmail.com!! Watch to the end and you will understand! 💗Jenean
This is me too -this channel is my premium membership with no ads! haha ! I am getting notifications and forgetting to switch to the TBP channel! Whoops!
I love that thought about every day is yesterday’s tomorrow. ❤ I’m just using a random lined journal I have and making it all up as I go right now. The biggest thing I am working on recording each day is a simple gratitude. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but if I write down nothing else I want to at least take a minute and be thankful and positive.
I want to try writing down what I spend each day/week/month (whenever I spend the money) and hopefully that will bring me back to reality and help me budget better and spend less. I love the TCMC. I would like to try the color coding again but I failed big time the first time I tried it lol.
Did you see the video where I talk about color coding all the different areas of my life from A-Z !!! But, I get that and I am just flunking at budgeting 😩 I have to do something about it and this is it! I think i just need to follow Miko Love’s budget by paycheck system; she is here on RU-vid ! Such a story she has ! And sadly her mother died unexpectedly last year so that is why she had been missing for almost a year ?? And i don’t think i can change my cousin into a financial planner -i just need to force myself to do it! Like haha everything -is it just me ?! controlling me is full-time work?! PM at jeneancreason18@gmail.com !!!
@Adventuresover40 I have extra budget by paycheck workbooks if you wanna try! jeneancreason18@gmail.com yes such a sad story -she never even got to find out why her mom died! it is mystery. She had a baby also this last year. Anyway, she is in eastern washington and her system is amazing if one was to follow it! jeneancreason18@gmail.com to PM me!
