My daughter is obsessed with planners. Her class notes are works of art. She’s done bullet journaling. Her last planner was a Passion Planner. She’s home from school for a couple of days and showed me her latest acquisition. It’s a Hobonichi Techo Cousin. It’s got pages for viewing a month at a time, a week at a time, and then a page per day. Every page is high-quality bleed-resistant paper with small graphs, which is very conducive to writing neatly with small handwriting. I was instantly attracted to it.

Then she showed me how the cover is already starting to bend, so everyone usually gets covers for it.
The journal is $54 on Amazon. This seems like a lot, but with so many pages of very thin high-quality paper, it’s probably still a good price. But the covers — my god, there are covers people are charging over $100 for. I guess in the planner cult, you’re judged on how elite your planner cover is. 🙂
There is also a five-year version of the Hobonichi. Can you imagine a five-year planner? I cannot.
