Omg I needed this so much thank you also I’m early 😄😊
Your videos are soo amazing I can’t imagine how long it takes to make them
I suddenly remember there was a Japanese drama where the main characters use the same brand of planner/organizer/notebook for years and when the book has slightly different layout he/she complained to the manufacturer.. I forgot what the drama title or who the actor was.. What I meant, that's how serious Japanese designed a planner...
If planner is a personality, I'm more of a jibun techo person, but details doesn't stop me to doodle, and I love hobonichi covers...
Where you can get them
“STILL CAN’T CHOOSE?!” 😂🤣😂 I love you, JetPens!
Just as I thought! The jibun techo seems to cater to more structured people given the finer hourly layout. In that case, hobonichi would be a better choice for us procrastinators :'D Though the prompts on the jibun's monthly starts are cool!
I ignore the time lines and just write my lists as I would in any planner.
haha i'm a big procrastinator so i actually kinda like more structured planners, that way i can at least block out some time for tasks (^-^;;;)
This year, I used the JT Days B6 Slim and Hobonichi Day Free A6. I like to doodle alongside my lists and I do it in both planners. I ignore all time time lines. The number of lists in the JT Days is awesome. I love the tracking calendar combo. My JT Days lays flat just like my day free. Both works well with fountain pen. The monthly summary in the JT Days is a nice feature if it's something you would use. You can always ignore the headings and make up your own. If you have a hard time choosing then I think your preferred size may need to be the deciding factor.
Love the bloopers. Thank you for adding it in
What a great video! The bloopers made me laugh!🤣 I've been in a Hobo A6 Techo for 2 years but I decided to switch to the JT A5 Slim Days for 2022. Ordered from you, and it's out for delivery this morning!😊👏
Still can't choose?!!!! Bloops are hilarious on such a regular video 😂😂
Anyone else just sitting on their website just waiting for the Hobonichi's to appear? Don't tease us Jetpens! 😂
It's up! :)
The Hobonichi site ships internationally...
Jibun Techo Biz for me all the way! The MIO paper is sooooo smooth with my fountain pens! My wife and I both love kokuyo’s MIO paper! Also ordered the Chinese Hobonichi Cousin to get some nice blank pages when inspiration strikes!
FYI, both planners are from Japan.
@@bowieknife yes but Hobonichi has a Chinese version that is currently in my possession. I speak Chinese not Japanese so it’s a win
@@johnhazencook That's cool. So all the quotes are in Chinese too?
@@bowieknife yes, even the lists and information in the back.
I wish they made a Day version in the MIO paper!
Omg😂 the best part is the blooper!
Just got my very first Kokuyo Jibun Techo Diary A5... 🤪😍 I am in heaven!!!! Feels like I made the absolute right choice. Thanks for the video!!! Now I can plan and keep track of my PhD research and keep track of my business... Will now unpack the rest of my order... I just love Mondays ❤ thanks JetPens!!!
I discovered the Hobonichi in January and love it! Will ordered another one for 2022 for sure! But I do have to say that I really love the beginning of the month layer in the Jibun!
I started using the Hobonichi English planner for daily journaling, and then I started using the Jibun Techo diary because I wanted to track how I spent my time, given that I always feel unsatisfied about not having time to do this or that. Well, I can't say it's improved my time management habits all that much, but at least now I know exactly how I am wasting it! Blocking out 4 hours for playing Animal Crossing in the evening is certainly a thing. I also do mini journaling in the bottom of the Jibun Techo and refer to it when I need to catch up with my daily journal in the Hobonichi. This year I'm using the Jibun Techo DAYS to have that time tracking and journaling on the same page. But this video makes me feel like jumping to use a Hobonichi Cousin for a planner that can do it all! Maybe next year...
I feel it is really helpful you to be aware of using time. At least, you know now!
I'm new to this planning system...this is helpful...I think I'm going with Hobonichi! Ordering at the beginning of October
I love both of them. It’s so hard to make a decision. Maybe I should just buy both!
the bloopers are hilarious!
Omg the bloops are the best. Great info, too! Thanks :)
I love my hobonichi for family planning and memory keeping/journaling, while the Techo is great for work (my 9-5 planning/study planning)
I just ordered my first Hobonichi on Thursday! I know it’s already two months into the year but I only found out about it recently and only decided I wanted a planner recently! And honestly, I’ve never seen a planner more up my alley. Subtle markings that can be ignored OR used depending on the day, Tomoe River Paper and a green cover with cats on it!! I’m going to use the Jan and Feb pages for memory keeping since I can’t use them for planning! Each two page spread will be a recap of a month!❤
Loved the bloopers!
I lean more to the Hobonichi but really like the features of the Jibun minus the hourly
Almost got tempted away-but chose Hobonichi again for its clean lines and extraordinary paper. I did order the Avec for the first time.
this is what I am looking for on my question for both of them
I love the bloopers
I love Jibun Techo Days very much. I have started using it for 5 days. This is quite similar to bullet journal but I don’t need to setup myself. I can just write down all the tasks and ideas on the left side. Then I can organise my time to finish them and marked down when did I do them. Seeing the finished ✅ on the boxes makes me satisfied of my time management. I used to have Jibun Techo weekly. It had not enough space for me to write down all tasks everyday.
I might try the Jibun Techo, but I've been a Hobonichi girl so far.
I found my planner peace in the Jibun Techo!! I have tried Passion Planner which worked for me for a while. Then Hobonichi Weeks - still use for memories - but Dec ‘22 I found the Jibun Techo is my dream planner!!!! I can’t see changing (well, at least not for a long time)!
I just bought a Hobonichi Techo (Mother edition) for 2022. I hope to get more structure in my life with it.
Really all very nice >>>>>> Thank you
JT Weekly, for my work, the hobonichi for personal planning and journaling. I tried the days, and it was just too much to have both, and I just prefer the JT weekly layout.
The bloopers looool 😂
Already bought A5 and A6 Hobonichi and Jibun Techo DAYS so I didn't have to choose 😂
I hope the cousin is still available Friday when I can order it!😩😩
2022 will be my third Hobonichi year. I’m curious about the paper in the Jibun Techo, but I don’t think it would displace my love for Tomoe River in the Hobonichi.
That voice is so beautiful
I had the jibun for the first part of this year and switched to the hobonichi. Downgrading to a a6 next year but I loved both the hobonichi and the techo. Although that techo days looks great…
I did the same thing. JT Days for Jan-June and the Hobonichi A6 Day free for July-Dec. I love both. I do miss the JT Days and the extra real estate. I bought both for 2022 again.
Can you do the same thing with hobonichi cousin v jibun techo.? For their weekly planning!
Whoever this narrator is, is great. Voice is so smooth, 👀💦💕 anyway, I prefer hobonichi. Weeks is great because I can take it everywhere.
This is such an excellent video. Thank you for providing it. You may want to update it for 2023, especially since Tomoe River paper may not be available in the 2023 planners? (I may be a little confused on this point.)
Tomoe River Paper is still available for 2023 planners. They will switch to Sanzen Paper for the 2024 planners.
@@JetPens Thank you for letting me know. I checked more closely on your website where you posted a link to the Hobonichi site which discusses the forthcoming paper change in 2024. I am guessing there must be a quite interesting story for both the Tomoe River and Sanzen papers.
I love my Jibun Techo Biz A5 and have been using it for several years now. It lies flat just fine (not sure what that guy was talking about), is lightweight and easy to throw in my purse, and the paper is amazing.
Does the JTA5 slim have an April start publishing?
Tried them both. Jibun wins hands down.
I like your video plz daily make video
not sure if someone would still stumble upon my comments but i love both planners...if only there's a planner from them that has a balance of both the hobonichi (for the creativity) and jibun (the hourly timeblocks!!!)
Isn’t that the hobonichi cousin?
About the moon phase, I understand it’s a Japanese version?
Joke’s on you, I’m making my own planner that smooshes the best of both together!!
The pink backpack at 0.22.. can anyone tell me the brand please!
Is there a Jibun planner with the hour tracker on the centre of the page but also for a whole year instead of a half?
Hi there! Unfortunately the DAYs is the only Jibun Techo planner with the hour tracker down the middle of the page. There is no full year, one notebook version.
can someone tell me where to find the jibun techo? i cant find it anywhere...
My questions were not answered, but I have my own issues with planners. One thing I want in a planner is not to run into structural compression of spaces. I do not like it when the entire weekend is compressed into a space the size of a single weekday space (this implies to me people think I should have no life or business on a weekend) or the insistence that the monthly calendar fit into five rows so that some months have days that take up half day spaces. It gets awkward when the amount of detail I am used to fitting into a space is abruptly halved. It also gives my mildly OCD/autistic mind visual claustrophobia.
I'm not sure of the Jibun, but the Hobonichi has full daily pages for all days of the week. For the monthly layouts if there is a sixth row needed it is about half the size of a regular row, rather than sharing space with another day. But those last days of the month are also marked with a regular box in the next monthly layout if that helps?
The Jibun Techo Days has a full day for all days of the week.
I'm still torn about Hobonichi... the paper seems to be way too slim not to show through whatever one writes, particularly with fountain pens. OTOH, everyone is so crazy about them that I wonder if it'd be a nice thing to try... :-S
what is Avec?
Hobonichi Cousin.
#earlysquad and love your videos ❤️
Thanks for the comparison video! It confirmed my choice of the Hobonichi. Now I can't wait for 2022 so I can use my new beauties 😀
Not to denigrate all of this wonderful stationary, just that I feel constrained by all of this bound paper. So I am stuck with settling for At-A-Glance where I can move pages around at a whim. Fountain pen friendly? fountain toleration.
Sorry who's the voice for this one? I really, really enjoy knowing the names of each VO person at Jetpens because you all make it such an enjoyable experience!
Great video!
Finally!
#earlysquad and im shaking waiting for this...
Dissapointing how the english version is missing these tiny, useful features for no reason at all. Makes them more limited than western planners
Good timing, I’m getting ready to order a Hobonichi! Can’t decide between getting the 2-book Avec or the one big boy Cousin. And don’t call me Shirley. ✈️ 😂
Avec. You get 2 fresh starts and less heavy notebook.
Can you do an ultimate planner comparison🥺? I think it's gonna be fun🤔😁📔
Ok new voice - he gave great voice and the bloopers were pretty cool too!
#earlysquad🌌
Someone help this man, he keeps cracking xD
Won’t ever change from hobonichi techno. I’m on my 4th year and still loving it. I came from an a5 IWP ring planner
Thanks for making this video! I've used both the Hobonichi and the OG Jibun Techo, and am VERY curious about possibly trying the Days now... seems like best of both worlds.
the bloopers at the end are so funny! thank you for including those along with all your insightful videos. Information and entertainment!
Great comparison! I switched to the Jibun Techo Days last year from about 22 other planners I tried between a Hobonichi and this and have managed to stick with it all year, now my big dilemma for 2022 is B6 Slim or A5 Slim versions, it sold out so fast last year I ordered one of each just to see which size I’ll like better.
I love my Franklin Planner, but the paper is lack luster. I especially like Franklin' s 2-pages-per-day format. I think the Jibun' s rule is too small at 3mm. I like the idea of the Hobonichi 5-year planner, but find the paper to be to thin.
I used to be a Franklin person till I switched over to Hobonichi for daily work stuff.
Honestly still cannot decide which one I like best! I think I could make both work for my creative and my busy work life. Anyone else? 😍
EARLY SQUAAD!
I’m trying to put this as nicely as possible, but the way you guys are handling this Hobonichi release is frustrating. Continually teasing and hinting it will be in stock soon but refusing to tell anyone when that will be, so we all have to waste time constantly checking the website. I didn’t buy from the other shops even though multiple of them stocked everything weeks earlier already, just because “well we always buy from Jetpens” from some dumb sense of customer loyalty. Well, you taught us a lesson. Next year we’re just ordering from whichever shop stocks first, since there are now a handful of other stationery shops in the US that sell Hobonichi, stock early, and let the customers know days or weeks ahead the exact date the items go up in the shop.
We're sorry for the frustration! It's up on our website.
I’m really surprised this was happening… from JetPens too. I was at Oblation Stationary in Portland Oregon last Friday and they ALREADY had the 2022 hobonichi line up. Completely gobsmacked.
Super helpful video! BTW...who is the person behind the voice? 🥸
I'm absolutely a creative, but I also have ADD, you see my problem? The Kokuyo DAYS is going to be my choice because it works better with my brain. If I can keep from losing it, that is... I actually can't find the second half of the one I bought last year, I'm still looking! 😭 I may make a custom cover to fit both...
My dilemma was if I should get a Cousin or an A6 Techo.. Problem solved by getting both :)
Hobonichi for me! I'm a doodler and art journaler.
I do the same in both my Hobonichi and Jibun Techo Days.
i didnt see the hobonichi planners at the website?
I have a feeling they will pop up next week on Monday.
@@masonr1666 aw you think so? dang …. the anticipation is killing me lol
They're on our website!
I can't choose...I will take all of them.
I got both the hobonichi and jibun diary 😭
Well, that puts me in a “bind” because I’m a creative who needs structure…….and I like them both…….
No one said you can't get both. ;) Both sounds good right? xD
I really wish you hadn't dropped this video without the Hobonichi 2022 lineup available! I have been checking the website 4 times a day for the last week. And yes I am subscribed for the notification but I can't help it!
It's up on our website!
@@JetPens Ordered!! Thank you!
Came here for the info, stayed for the bloopers lol!
I ended up getting both! Jibun Days for work, Avec for creative/personal stuff.
The narrator's voice 🙂
First to comment...
Jibun Techo Days is great for student and don't need time to think about how to decorate it!
What are the odds, I was just watching videos on both and deciding which one to buy!
Ahhhh I just wish Jibun Techo Days came in one techo instead of two half years huhu but this guide was concise. love thr bloopers at the end lol
I was watching girls planet 999 but u came so I will watch u now hehe
I always wanted a Hobonichi. I find it really well thought and cute, but I'm a bullet journaler... It wouldn't really work for what I do :(
Plz make a video on back to school 2022
I signed up for the email alert but I guess youtube notification is faster...still no email haha
Wish that the covers without the books were available, I just got a Stalogy 365Days from the site that arrived today and didn’t realize it was paperback so it’ll need a cover for protection.
Or get both?
Earlyy
I wanna get it in A5 so I can repeat what I've done this year and continue to mix up my diary and class notebooks and hand over my "homework" to my lecturer so the poor man reads about my failing love life instead of the importance of being ethical in sociological research
