Hello, friends!
In this video, I’m going to share my motivation for using a Hobonichi Weeks to tackle a personal goal of mine: building sustainable habits for maintaining our home and garden. I’ve been struggling to stay consistent with chores for as long as I can remember, and I’m finally ready to do something about it. I don’t expect to have it all figured out by January, but I’m pretty happy with what I’ve got so far after this planning session.
Like my last few videos, this is a another chatty one 😅. I guess I have a lot to say about planners during the set up! To help you jump around to certain sections, I’ve included timestamps below!

Once again I really love your approach. What you said about motivation for chores as well organizing yourself hit home real hard for me 😂. I’m happy to have found your channel. Keep them coming! I love that the topics and thoughts process are so „normal“. I feel like listening to a friend and brainstorming about how to navigate everyday life ❤
Oh and the calendar overview could be used to track when specific plants/flowers in your garden bloom? So you can compare to previous years when to do or expect what in the garden.
