Hello, I’m Shioguchi from the techo team. Is everyone enjoying these Techo Kaigis? I was surprised to see so many Avec and Day-Free users this year. It’s fascinating to read about everyone’s reasons for choosing their particular setups.

Here’s my lineup for 2026.



Next year, I’ll be using one less notebook than 2025 for a total of four techos.

For Work
Paper Series: Sky [Weeks] + Leather: Taut (Gray & Light Blue) Cover

I like to slide in the back cover of my Weeks so I can still enjoy the cover design.

I’ve been using the same Weeks + Weeks cover setup this year, and it’s been such a perfect fit that I’ve decided to continue with it in 2026. The Taut Weeks cover is similar to the B-Jirushi Yoshida's Passport cover I used for years, so I instantly picked it up as its successor. It’s slim and compact and I love how easy it is to carry. The inside is a lovely pale blue too, so I paired it with the Paper Series: Sky Weeks.

This might be the first time I’ve ever chosen my Weeks book based on the color of the cover!

There are other light-blue options, but the Sky Weeks matched the cover perfectly and, honestly, I was drawn in by that sparkling design.

I mainly use this for task management. I list everything I need to do for the week on the right-hand page, then distribute them across the left-hand schedule as I go. I love that I can keep it open on my desk without it taking up too much space.

Scheduling + Hobby Logging
Paper Series: Black Gingham [Weeks]



This year, I used two separate planners for my personal life—a PAMM for scheduling and a Colors for hobby notes. For 2026, I want to consolidate both into one: the Paper Series: Black Gingham Weeks. I plan to put it in a clear cover and slip in stickers and photos.

Objective Tracking + Journaling
Paper Series: Black Gingham [HON A5]



This will be my third year using a techo for goal tracking and journaling, I've used the A5 HON the whole time. This year, I used the Black Gingham and plan to continue using it next year too.



The Black Gingham HON has a slightly thinner, softer cover than the other versions, which makes it feel more like a notebook. It’s casual and easy to write in, which I love.

I write down what I want to do over the year, list out goals, and gather related thoughts and tasks all in one place. Ever since I started using my techo this way, I feel like I’ve really cut down on wasted time.

Diary
Hobonichi 5-Year Techo



I’ve been using the 5-Year Techo as a diary for four years now. I fell a bit behind this year, but the Hobonichi App has given me a second wind.

That wraps up all the techos I plan to use in 2026. It wasn’t intentional, but I ended up choosing all from the Paper Series. They’re lightweight, and I love their understated, minimalist designs—perfect for someone like me.

Stationery
Here are the stationery items I picked up.

TSUKI no IRO: Translucent Sticky Notes

I use mini sticky notes to jot down tentative plans.

As a fan of mini sticky notes, I was thrilled when these came out.
Before, I used to rely on mini notes from the 100-yen shop, but they varied in thickness and were awkward to carry around. These solved all my problems—I'm going to be a repeat buyer for sure!

TSUKI no IRO: Add-on Sticky Notes

I prefer placing them near the middle of the page, where I can still write over them easily.

These are a lifesaver when I need a bit more space in my work Weeks.

ONE PIECE magazine: Rotating Stamp for the Techo - One Piece Sanby x Hobonichi

I don’t really decorate my techo, so I bought this item to push myself. That said, I bought it more for practical use than decoration. I plan to use it mainly in my HON and my hobby Weeks.

It’s perfect for marking logs and plans—and I love the subtle design!

Moomin: Hobonichi Ink-Absorbing Paper



I use a fountain pen in my 5-Year Techo, so I’ll be using this with it. It’s quite thick, so I might even add a bit of perfume or essential oil to it—it would be lovely to have a faint fragrance when opening the pages.

I’m sure I’ll end up picking up a few more things, but for now, this is my lineup.

Look forward to tomorrow’s Techo Kaigi too!
