Hello! This is Manaka from the Hobonichi Techo team. Today, I will be showing you how I’ve been using the Planner I started using this year.



I had been writing about shops I visited that I liked and things I enjoyed in the techo I use on a regular basis, but that wasn’t enough, so I started using a separate techo to use just for writing down all the good things I encountered.

How I use it is....



For example, I draw sketches of my favorite clip, paste a nice piece of paper I found,



and paste wrappers of snacks that I thought was yummy. I tend to forget what I thought was delicious, so I make sure I write it down in the Planner.



I sometimes sketch accessories I recently purchased, too. I like to collect paper so there are many pages where I’ve pasted paper.



I sometimes draw dense observational sketches. The pen I use is the uniball one by the way. The black is pigmented and it makes my Planner spreads look nice and sharp.

When I find a particular aspect of an item that I think is cool, I write or paste that in the Planner.

As I started using the Planner, I feel I’ve been observing things more carefully. It made me realize small details that I otherwise would not have noticed.

How about creating a journal that is packed with good things for yourself?
