Hi, it’s Aizawa from the Techo Team.
This is a Techo End-of-Year Reflection... but honestly, I haven’t used my techo enough to feel like I can really reflect on it. Still, I knew I had to write something, so I opened my techo for the first time in a while and flipped through the pages.

This is the techo I’m using:


The iyo okumi Hobonichi 5-Year Techo Gift Edition haconiwa

■ How much did I write?

Thinking, "I haven’t written nearly enough to really look back on...," I reluctantly opened to the January pages—and to my surprise, they were fairly full!
Nice one, past me!

So I decided to calmly and mathematically review the numbers.

Month Pages filled (Completion)
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Jan　　31　　(100%)
Feb　　28　　(100%)
Mar　　23　　(74%)
Apr　　23　　(76%)　
May　　18　　(58%)
Jun　　9 　　(30%)
Jul　　13　　(41%)
Aug　　10　　(32%)
Sep　　9 　　(30%)
Oct　　19　　(61%)
Nov　　1 　　(3%)
Dec　　0 　　(0%)
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Total: 184 pages/365 days

When I added everything up, I was genuinely surprised. It turns out my techo is 50.4% filled.


This is the only page I wrote in November. I hesitated counting it as 1, but it's definitely not 0 so...!

There are actually six months where I filled more than half the pages:
January, February, March, April, May, and October.

I’d been getting down in the dumps telling myself, “I haven’t written at all,” but looking back like this, I realized it’s really just the last two months where I didn’t write. I’m glad I did this reflection.

What I found out from this reflection
・I thought "I haven't written anything at all..." but I actually often had.
・If I don't write for over two months, I completely lose the habit of writing.
・Looking back over the techo makes me want to write more!

Today is the 18th of December. There's 14 days left till the end of the year, so I think I'm going to try and fill in 14 pages in December. Nonchalantly filling out the blank pages during the New Years holiday sounds like fun too.


This is the page I liked the most. I just stuck in all the things I made that evening. I can easily remember all the things I did.
(Text reads: Rice porridge & Katsudon

Thank you for reading, and please check back again tomorrow, as another team member will be sharing their Techo End of Year Reflection!
