My Hobonichi Cousin Experiment: Functional Academic Planning & Workbook, Archival Needs

In this video I share how I used the Hobonichi A5 cousin HON as a functional academic planner and workbook, as an attempt to address overwhelm with multiple academic demands (teaching, assessment, admin, research, collaborations, etc., and juggling concurrent multiple projects within each). I'd used the monthly calendar for all-in-one scheduling, the weekly sections for time blocking, and I found it helpful to conceptualize the daily pages as a "workbook" to address varying needs from day to day. While I found it incredibly helpful to bring these together in an "anchor book" in the Hobonichi Cousin HON, ultimately I also found that my archival needs might point me elsewhere: having an archive of previous courses, with course design and curriculum development, planning/prep, and assessment available separately from an archive of research projects, just as one example. This along with portability concerns may lead me to rethinking and reconfiguring A6 setups (alongside the Weeks, which I continue to use) to see if that might help address some of these needs whilst bringing in aspects of the Hobonichi Cousin setup that helped me manage overwhelm. Thank you so much for watching, and I hope this might be of help or interest to anyone struggling with the same! YT: ‪@joyofstationery‬ IG: @joyofstationery #hobonichi #hobonichicousin #planner
