My 2026 Hobonichi Weeks Setup | Functional Planner System for Writers & Readers

In this video, I’m sharing my 2026 Hobonichi Weeks setup, focused on function over aesthetics. This planner system is designed for writers, avid readers, and creatives who want a realistic, flexible way to plan their lives, track reading, and stay consistent without over-decorating or burnout. I walk through how I use my Hobonichi Weeks for writing schedules, reading logs, content planning, personal appointments, and daily task management. If you’re someone who journals, writes regularly, or reads multiple books a month, this setup offers practical ideas you can actually keep up with throughout the year. This is a minimal, functional Hobonichi Weeks setup for 2026, perfect if you’re overwhelmed by aesthetic planner content and want a system that supports creativity, productivity, and consistency.
