Hi! I’m Shioguchi from the Techo Team.

I’m super excited to start using my new planner!

This year, I decided to use these four books.



● For work task management and notes
Weeks Colors / Pistachio

For work, I’ve always used the Cousin Avec as my go-to for many years.

But recently, I started managing my time on the computer calendar,
and I thought maybe I could downsize to a Weeks.
So, I switched to the Weeks last September just to give it a try.

At first, it was a bit tricky, but after using it, I realized it works fine!

Now, I mostly use the Weeks for task management and notes,
and for scheduling and time management, I mainly use my computer calendar.

I figured this would work, so I’ve decided to go with Weeks for my work planner in 2025.


▲ I used Black Gingham in 2024

I couldn’t decide which one to pick, but I went with the simple and pretty Pistachio.



It pairs perfectly with my current black Weeks cover!

● For private schedule management and logging
Weeks PAMM / Thanks Sea

For my private planner, Weeks is always my go-to.
I didn’t hesitate to pick Weeks again this year.

I usually like simple designs, but this year, PAMM caught my eye
and I decided to go for a fun, patterned design for a change.


▲ In 2024, I used two notebooks: Black Gingham and Colors. This year, I’m going with just one.


▲ Since I’m out and about a lot, I’ll use it with the Tragen Weeks cover. I love this combination!

I write all kinds of things in this planner—schedules, life logs, you name it.

● For output
HON A5 Paper Series / Black Gingham

I started using an output notebook last year.
I’ve been using the HON A5 size and found it so convenient,
so I decided to stick with the same type this year.

I write in this notebook every morning,
and since mornings are always rushed,
it’s easy to quickly grab the HON and jot things down.


▲ I switched from Slash (Ivory) in 2024.

In 2025, I was torn between options but chose the Black Gingham.
You may have noticed by now, but I really love the lightweight and smooth feel of Black Gingham!

I mainly use this notebook to jot down things I want to do,
organize my thoughts and feelings, and just get everything out of my head and onto paper.

It’s kind of like journaling, but I also use it to manage and plan things I want to do.
I write pretty much everything in it.

Being able to visualize everything is great,
and I really like this approach, so I plan to keep using this notebook this year.

● For my daily journal
Hobonichi 5-Year Techo

This is my third year with the 5-Year Techo.
I’m switching the cover to a new one,
and I’ll be using the Beige & Navy cover this year.


▲ It also pairs well with the Rivet Band Laccio!

I use it like a one-sentence diary,
and by writing without pressure, I’ve been able to keep up with it in a fun way.

● My favorite planner accessories
Hobonichi Pencil Board Ice Gray × Yellow

And secretly, I bought all sizes of the new Hobonichi pencil board in Ice Gray × Yellow.



I swapped out the desk mats for all my planners.
I love how the colors match perfectly, and the accent yellow is my favorite part.

I’m looking forward to a fun year in 2025 with my Hobonichi planners!

Catch the next planner update soon!
