Hobonichi Techo 2025 Planner Book [English/A6/January Start/Monday Start/Planner]

Though it’s end of June, my other planner is too complex to maintain. This A6 is perfect for personal/business planning and journaling. I like the HON so no upselling for covers to cover the cover. Only addition would be a band to keep the pencil board (optional) and little sticky notes (all Japanese) from falling out. Best thing about Japanese planners is that they lay flat when open 180 degrees. Great value, beautiful Tomoe paper. I use the yearly index as a Gantt chart; monthly calendars as a syllabus for each day + dr appts + meetings/webibars; daily pages for study questions I answered incorrectly and why then when my work picks up it’ll serve as my assignments planner. I’ll use the 100 list as my projects list. This set up is succinct. The size is small enough for a messenger bag small pocket; purse pocket; tote bag. It’s thick so I don’t know if it would fit a pants pocket. Update: I’ve created my Kakeibo in the back of the Techo using the red dot grid pages: one page per month! Now I have what I need and it’s all in one a6 Techo

I've been using planners for a long time (since daytimers first came out) and wish I had found this a lot sooner. This my second year using my hobonichi. I love the paper feel and weight. Also, the way the pen glides. It is just the right size to be able to comfortably pull it out and make quick notes on the fly. The only thing I would change would be to have a lower price, but it does not deter me from buying. It is a quality product and given the portability I can whip it out for quick notes, but sturdy enough to not show a lot of wear and tear from using it several times a day.

Perfect size, great paper and a perfect way to journal/track my life!

Absolutely love this item! I use it for daily journaling and even though it’s small, it still has enough space for what I need. The paper is thin, but still holds up well since it’s Tomoe River paper. That paper type is well known for being thin, but sturdy so as not to bulk up your bag or wherever you put it. Since I’m not using it like a typical planner, I don’t really need the monthly like it’s typically used. I take a picture everyday and at the end of the month will print out those pictures (same size as the squares) and paste them into the monthly. That way everything gets used!

This is a repeat order. Love the size, quality, layout and paper type because I use fountain pens. And it does not bleed.

Excellent quality and just what I wanted. Do be aware that the pages are extremely thin and markers will definitely bleed through.

Great organizer. Smaller than I expected which is fine for my tiny writing. Wish it came with tabs / or some way to quickly get to my months vs weeks. I purchased separately. Also wish there was full year on 1 page for habit tracking vs being broken down into 2 months per column per page. Will likely buy again or explore similar planner from same brand next year.

It’s exactly what I needed. Something not too small and not too big. Markers don’t bleed through
