Video summary

In this video, the creator shares her exciting forecast and plans for her 2027 planner lineup, focusing on new acquisitions from Happy Planner, Hobonichi, and Cloth & Paper. She begins by showcasing a Happy Planner she purchased specifically to support her wellness journey, which includes running, meal planning, and fitness tracking. Although she initially intended to change the cover, she decided to keep the original design after receiving it. The planner features a yearly overview from July to June and minimal monthly layouts that she finds appealing for its simplicity. She particularly loves the weekly layout, which allows her to plan workouts alongside breakfast, lunch, dinner, and notes. To enhance functionality, she added half-sheet inserts for grocery lists and important tasks, effectively turning the planner into a dedicated fitness journal while also leaving room for occasional home or life updates. The creator then introduces her first Hobonichi Weeks notebook in A6 size, which she plans to use as a portable memory-keeping tool starting in December 2026. Despite having used Hobonichi products before without much success, this one has captured her interest due to its compact, on-the-go nature and the included ephemera like stickers and charms. She intends to use it for daily journaling about activities such as runs or doctor's appointments, capturing moments with photos and printed notes. Alongside this, she also highlights a notebook from Cloth & Paper that she has embraced as a running journal, using it to log her daily runs and attach printed images of events like her son's medical appointments. This shift marks a significant change from her previous preference for bound notebooks, showing her willingness to adapt to new formats that suit her current lifestyle needs. Finally, she details her use of Cloth & Paper pocket tea-style notebooks, which serve as versatile on-the-go planners and brain dump tools. One notebook functions as a monthly overview with space for activity rings and stickers, while another acts as a weekly planner where she tracks expenses, affirmations, and shopping lists before transferring items to her main planner. A third notebook is used for daily executive notes, providing ample space for writing down tasks and ideas that can later be organized into her primary system. The fourth notebook serves as a dedicated brain dump area where she lists everything on her mind, checking off completed items and moving them to her top priorities for the day. Throughout the video, she emphasizes her love for small, portable planners that allow her to stay organized while traveling or running errands, noting that these smaller formats work perfectly for her current needs even if she carries larger bags during other seasons.

Hey friends, welcome to or welcome back to Norris Cove. If you're new here, I'm Yoshida and here at the Cove, we like to budget and plan in confidence. But today you guys, I have sort of a little haul um slashhappy meal slash my planner semi lineup predictions for 2027. So, let's hop right into it. So, this first thing, let me say this. This first thing I was heavily influenced by Bri. Um I saw her recently and she had brought her Happy Planner that she's been using. And this is when I first started doing my uh my new running eating wellness program that I had gotten from Chad. And I was like looking through it, I was like, "Oh my god, I love the layout and this would work for what I'm doing in this season." So, let me order that. And here it is. So, here's the planner. It's the Happy Planner. And from the website and even looking at hers, I was like, I'm going to change the cover. I already know I'm going to change the cover. But for some reason, when it came, and it just came today, when it came, I was like, you know what? I kind of like this cover. So, I may not be changing it. I was just going to do a dashboard. And I actually have like a cover from Cloth and Paper coming, which is probably like a dashboard, but I was just going to use it as a cover. So, let me show you what I fell in love with it about this um Happy Planner. Now, you know, I already have the I use the classic for my budgeting and things like that, but I've always wanted like a home planner. I was going to turn my A5 into that. So, if this does not work for what I want it to work for, it will probably turn into my home planner. Well, first of all, you got this. You have 26 and 207 yearly overview. Then these pages, I, you know, I have these in most of my planners. So, I've already like wrote down something for September. And so what I'm using it for, if I have not explained, is for my wellness, my new running program, my new meal plan, fitness, all that. So this is pretty much my fitness like journal or planner. Now, the only thing with Happy Planner is you very seldom get any plain pages. I don't like the dots, but they're very minimal. They're not, you know, bothering me. So yeah. So you have that. And it's a a July to June planner. And so this is what what the monthly looks like. So it's minimal, which is pretty good. I like that it's minimal. And then we get into this is what sold me on this planner was the layout of the weekly. So, in my mind, I think originally I said I could do the workout plan, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and then any notes I could put at the bottom here on the planner. So, that's what intrigued me about this planner. So, when I got it, I went to play with it a little bit. So, let's see. So, just planning it a little bit. I went ahead and put my workouts I did this week. And sadly, I had not been following like the meal plan and everything. Doctor's appointments got me off all of that. Also, I ordered some of these half sheets where it's like a full note sheet like that. I took in like, you know, what I plan to cook for next week, the grocery list, and then here, um, it is things to do. Excuse me, don't forget things to do and important. So, I really like that and I think that's perfect for a weekly. And then also I picked up a pack of these notes. And I'm pretty sure I have some more Happy Planner notes somewhere that I still had from years ago. And then here's a pack of those um note pages. So yeah. So that's what my plan is for the Happy Planner is just to use it for my wellness journey, my workout, meal planning, all that great stuff. And I may throw a few life things in there or home things in there, but some of it will replicate into my personal planner as well. But when I saw the layout, I fell in love with the layout and I was trying to like get the layout in another planner, but they didn't have it. This one was on sale. So, we're going to work with it. And I may change my mind, you know, next year. Like I said, it may go into just a home planner, but for right now, I'm working with it as my workout planner. And it just works for this season that I'm in right now. So, next up, this is going to be a surprise to you guys cuz if you know, I am not I mean, okay, let me say this. My original way of planning was a notebook. And I think I was talking to Bria about this that I've always before getting into the planning community, if I didn't have a planner, I used a one subject notebook, three subject notebook, one of the little tiny notebooks, long as I could just kind of write things down and everything stayed in that notebook. So, you had it for the whole year. So, but when they started talking about Hobonichi and things like that, I was just like, I don't think I'm interested in I don't want a bound notebook. I want to be able to customize it and this and that. Well, guess who has a Hobonichi? A Hobonichi. So, I don't know. I was just on TikTok and I'm watching the girls in their Hobonichi and I think I may have bought when Kane had his shop. I can't remember the name of the shop. I bought a Hobonichi Weeks. I use it for probably a good week or two and I want to say I had ordered a Hobonichi some years ago and just never used it, never revisited or anything. But this is pretty much my first real Hobonichi. And I got it in AS6 size. And let me tell you why I got it in A6 size is because it reminded me of a CP petite. Of course, I've used A6 and it's a great on the-go. Now, my plan for this is to Oh, and it came with this right here, which is so cute. It looks like you punch this out, but I just want to leave it like a bookmark or some ephmera. So, um it starts in December of 2026. Y'all know better than I know. And so what I plan to do is going to plan my month in here for December, things that can carry over to January. But I wanted it as like a daily kind of like not necessarily reference, but like a daily um memory keeping um just something to kind of jot down, maybe grab and go and take with me. Um I'm looking for covers for it. I actually have a clear cover that was supposed to come with it. This was also delivered today and the clear cover is coming tomorrow. It was supposed to be here today. So, yeah. I don't know, but I can kind of see me using this and just like I don't know. Um my original plan for this was to um do like some memory keeping in it. Okay, but let me show you. So, we got the Hobonichi. We're definitely using this in 2027. That's another thing you guys know. I normally do not have my planners together until the February of the year. I don't really know what I'm using until February. All this could change, but since I've bought this over Hobonichi is definitely going into my 2027 lineup. Now, the HP classic that I just showed you, I have no idea. Okay. So, while I was waiting on the Hobonichi, I remembered that we had gotten this in a cloth and paper box. It came with everything that you need, the inserts, everything. But the inserts are for 2027. Okay. But also, I think in either that box or the box before that, we received these notebooks, right? And of course when I got it I was just like what what I'm supposed to do with this? This is not the type planner that I am. So while I was waiting on the Hobonichi and I said I just want to get my Hobonichi fix. I said hey I got this notebook. I can use this. So this is what I'm using it for. I am using it as like a memory keeper right now. And honestly I like this. So this is my very first spread in here. very first. So, yesterday uh my son had a follow-up appointment and so I just filled it out. I took pictures while we were there that I could put in there. Me and my husband went to the mall, did a little shopping and stuff, so I just did all of that. These are my son's x-rays and so I just filled it in. I actually just printed this on Canva and then it's just regular paper and I took it off and just glued it in because I knew what I wanted the spread to look like because yesterday was so full. I knew that I would use two pages. You guys, I love this. I'm not even gonna hold you. So then this was today. And I actually I'm going to take another picture, print it, and then put it down here of today. And so I was like, okay, I can maybe use this as a running like notebook. So keep up with my runs. So I did um you know, just journal about my run today. And let me tell you, I love it. Okay. And then we got this this little pocket too as well. I think this was the June box. So, it set us up for everything. Okay. And so, I have that little film trip that they send. And then I have the stickers that came in that box. And then these are some of the things that I just printed yesterday to like stick in here. So, and I just have a pen in here. I think this pen was actually in this box as well. And it came with a bunch of little well, not a bunch, but three little charms. So, I just stuck that one on there. And um but y'all, I am loving this. Like, oh my god, I am really loving this. And I just did not think I would be a notebook girl. Um especially like carrying around, but here we are. Okay, here we are. But I am absolutely in love with this as well. Now, here's the last thing because you all have seen this I think. If not, I've shown it on my Tik Tok. But this is the pocket tea. And of course, I got this from cloth and paper. And I bought the inserts. I bought the cover. All that great stuff. And I actually had an extra notebook in there, but it wasn't like closing like I wanted it to. size of your sheet and you're trying to make it like a thick planner and it's not a thick planner. So, just take a notebook out that you're not really using. So, let me explain to you what I'm using this for. Now, I'm going to go in and change the covers. We're going to go over all of these planners in another video, how I plan to use them, any deco that I'm putting in it. Anything that I'm changing in these, I will definitely do a video about that. So, how I'm using this, at least in the beginning, how I was using it, it was matching like my CP petite. It is like an onthe-go planner. I said I wasn't going to do TN. Here we are. So, this is the cover, the inside of the cover. It's got this from the coffee monsters Cove, some little stickers, and then it has a monthly. So, I have a month on a page. So, that's another thing. I made these um activity ring stickers today because that's one of my challenges for my you know wellness program is to close my rings every day and so I'll be bringing these to the shop don't worry and so um I filled out this month and then I was looking at I don't know I think I was watching a YouTube video and a girl was showing like her TMs and stuff and so like when they when it's like a hobi type of out and they have all this empty over here. They just kind of sticker it up a little bit. And so you'll see that later. And so I've already kind of decorated for October. Love it. Okay. And then so this first book is a month. Okay. And then the second one is my weeks. And this is me using it in February. And I just did a week and that was it. So, what I was doing with it in February, was, of course, just using it like a regular weekly, very minimal. I was writing down um just some to-dos and things like that that couldn't fit over here, things to buy. And yeah, so now this is this week. Today's Saturday, so this is this week. And I filled it up. Okay. And this little washi tape came in this month's box, the September box. And then this is some stickers I had. I think I got from Hobby Lobby. This is one of my old box stickers, the decadence. And then this was my week over here. And then like over here, I have an expense like when I spent gas. So I put that there and a sticker. And then I do affirmations on this side. Anything to buy. And I think I like that. I like that. Okay. So now I've kind of already started doing next week. And then this is just a little sticky note I got from the Walmart that was on sale and um I've already started next week. So I'll fill that out later as things come up, but I want to get it into my main planner first before I copied over to here. So this will kind of be a replica, a duplicate of what's in my personal. It's going to kind of be the same what's in my personal. That way I can just kind of grab and go. I can do grocery listing here and all that. So, my third book is this I was using as a daily and this is the this is the executive notes that I was using as a daily just to have more space kind of, you know, write down things that I'm doing day by day, just to-dos. And so, that was the first page. This is the second page. And then, um, this was yesterday. So, I just stuck that extra sticker of my son's X-ray in there. Um, and I like this because I can move things. I can check things off. And some things go in here first. When I was using it, a lot of things went in here first before it went into like my CPT on my regular planner. All right. So, let's get on to the fourth book. And the fourth book which I like and it was very effective. It is my brain dump notebook. So here over here is a list of things that I needed to get done. But what I did was I just moved stuff from here to my regular planner and I checked it off. I came back and checked it off. If you know, you know I'm a listister and I love checking some things off. So, I just made a brain dump and I would move it over to like my top three, top five for the day and move it over. And as I got them done, I came back, checked it off. And then on this side, it's the same thing. Each day, I just did a brain dump. And sometimes it would just kind of be the same. Maybe this over here, just getting it out of my brain. And then a lot of times, not. And then this was also February as well. And just a few little stickers. to-dos and then anything that would pop in my head goes in here. And actually, so I did this entry like February and then I did this one the 17th of September and then I think, excuse me, this one the 18th. And so like anything that pops in my head, it goes in this one. And I think that's the fourth notebook. And that's it. And then I just have this card and clip on cloth and paper. And that's it. And then in the back, which I'm going to change, it's just um this card that um excuse me, I put in here to um just for some deco. And that's it. But I will say I'm loving this. I love the feel of it. I kind of want to I started with another little Patchport TN cover I think I had for it, but I just love the feel of this. I love the way that it, you know, just I would hate to think that I'm a small planner person because I really don't think that I am, but I believe that I am because small planners just work for me. I just like being able to do this or carry it. Now, in the winter or the fall, I carry a bigger bag. So I I carried a bigger bag in the summer, but I can just throw this in my bag if I don't want to just pick this up because this can become even though it's a personal, it can become a little heavy, but I can just pick this up and it will kind of just duplicate this. So my doctor's appointments in here, I can put a grocery list in here. If I spend money, I have a section of what I spent for the day I can put in here. That's it. So that's like what's the forecast for my 2027. Now, I do have other planners that I'll be using, so I'm going to go a little more in depth, but I just wanted to show you guys like the new things that I got and my plan for those new things.
