Helen's Planning System
Posted by Helen Wang on
Greetings :) I have an entire catalogue of plan with me videos on Youtube, but I wanted to create some still guides as reference material. I take a fluid approach and don't stick rigidly to my own guide, but I do have some patterns I follow.
0. Table of contents
1. Hobonichi Cousin: Monthly
blah blah blah
2. Hobonichi Cousin: Weekly
- This section is for mapping out my weekly schedule & time-blocking.
- I do a bit of memory keeping, but only select highlights. Smaller memories and details go in the daily section.
- I usually set-up the base on Monday morning and add whatever information I know for the rest of the week.
- I update this section as the week progresses, typically 2 days at a time, since I don't know my exact schedule in advance.
3. Hobonichi Cousin: Daily
- I use the daily pages for my work to-do list & free journaling space.
- I start each day by answering a journaling prompt. Sometimes I write a lot, sometimes I write one sentence, and sometimes I answer with a doodle. (prompt list)
- Typically: I write my to-do list and answer the prompt while waiting for my coffee to cool. The rest of the entries and to-do list updates are done throughout the day, whenever I have time.

Helen, I can’t tell you how much I regret missing several launches. I saw the big pouch and that acrylic ruler. I hope the big pouches come out again. Thank you for always being an inspiration.
Just commenting to gently nudge Helen that this post maybe got published early 💕
