Kokuyo Jibun Techo Mini 2025 First Kit [B6 Slim]
So glad I got this early. It's got the end of 2024 in it so I've started using it now so I don't get the new year inertia to start the diary with! It's really lovely quality paper and I'm enjoying the weekly layout immensely having been prevented a hobonichi techo user and struggling to visualise my week. I love the B6 size as it's big enough to be useful and small enough to take everywhere. The Life book is neat but I'll probably replace that with a second plain notebook. I love the fact I can carry notebooks in the same sleeve, it works really well.

Kokuyo Jibun Techo Mini 2025 First Kit [B6 Slim]
Very good, everything I wanted to get tasks scheduled (if it's on the schedule I feel compelled to do it). I thought the lines on the daily columns were too small to write in at first, but this is ot the case. Easy to get translations of the Japanese, some at The Journal Shop, more at JetPens, or just by using the camera on my iPhone. I'm enjoying using the calendar and the daily schedule together. I use 0.5 or 0.34 Uniball pens for the clearest writing. Fine nib fountain pens are fine, too.
