Hello and welcome to best laid plans.

This is Sarah Hart Unger, your host, and this is a podcast where we talk all things

planning and planning adjacent.

Today's episode is going to start with a couple of products and systems that

I've been obsessed with recently, and then we will go into some listener submitted questions

and tips. I know we're all trying to put together our systems for next year and thinking

about how we want to keep track of things going forward, so I hope this episode gives you

some ideas and

inspiration. The first thing we're going to talk about is something I've been playing with and

really enjoying recently, which is the homonichi weeks used as a wellness planner. Now, I am certainly

not the first person to do this. I've seen many use this product as a wellness planner before,

but it's actually

the first time I've ever played with the Hobonichi Weeks, which is kind of surprising because I've

used everything else in their lineup, I think, at this point. The Hobonichi Weeks is very compact, and

it's a weekly planner that's much taller than it is wide, and it has the days going horizontally

on the left side and gridline paper on the right.

It's very light. I'm sure this weighs less than a pound in my hand and easy to carry around.

There are cloth covers available, and you can also get clear cover-on-cover vinyl covers to keep

things protected. I ordered one this year with my Hobonishi Hall in a sunshine yellow color,

and I covered it with a vinyl floral cover, so that's kind of protecting it. I was actually

using it coverless for a few weeks, but already kind of got a little dirty, so decided to put the

cover on, and now it looks good as new, and hopefully we'll stay protected for the year.
