Future simple

In today's video, I'm going to show you my newest planner obsession.

And it is my first planner for the year of 2026.

I will be rolling them out and showing you my entire lineup.

But for now, I wanted to start with my functional planner for the year, which is this one right here.

This is the Laconic Friendly, which is also referred to as the laconic vertical left.

But we're going to take a look at everything, including layouts, paper, and

But just before we do that, I want to kind of review what I had for 2025 and the reason why I'm moving to this one for 2026.

For those who have been on my channel for a while, you would know that I really love the Jibun techo in all of its forms.

And it was what I was using for 2025 as my events, appointments and content planner.

And although I really did love this planner, there were a few things that I thought just didn't fit for me at this time.

So let's take a look at some of the layouts that it gives you and my explanation for each of them.

It gives you this beautiful Gantt chart for every single month they are all stacked together.

So I found that I wasn't utilizing them very much.

And this is a problem that I generally have when certain spreads are grouped together all the way at the front of the planner.

I have a habit of just not going back to them.

And once again, as you can see, they have been very underutilized.

Like, even in the months when I was using them, I felt like I had too much space and not enough space at the same time, if that makes sense.

Like, the deco was a little bit much for me, but

then at the same time, I didn't really know how to fill up the space in the weeklies.

I actually did fill them out and I felt good about it.

The only thing that I felt like I was missing was just some more space for like brain dumping or planning along the left side here.

And I do really enjoy using a rolling weekly, and

that wasn't something that I felt like could be incorporated in this space, so.

So I very much fell out of using a weekly altogether when I Felt like I couldn't incorporate the Rolling Weekly and I was strictly using a bullet journal and then my pocket notebook.

And I find that they fit seamlessly with my new Laconic Planner.

So as mentioned, this is the Laconic Friendly.

It goes by a couple other names, so it was a little bit hard to track down.

But I was able to find it on Amazon Japan.

And this portion here actually was a calendar insert.

So it gave you the whole year in just a calend view.

I didn't need it, so I just took it out and did a little bit of deco myself.

So when you open up the planner, it gives you a nice little landing page here because it comes with a clear cover already.

It does give you three spots to insert any ephemera or things that you want to hang on to.

So I have one gift card down here and I also have a couple like inbox sticky notes.

So I have this key which I have memorized by now, but I just keep it there.

And then a little motivational sticky as well.

I also have this sticker if you know, you know, you have your little leaflet insert there.

And then it goes into your yearly overview.

So you have the last four months of 2025, and this is a September start planner.

So the weeklies and monthly start in September, but

it does still give you the full view for 2026 and 2027 as well.

This is your year schedule or like an index.

I've been using it just to track my uploads on YouTube and just generally whether it's performed well or whether it hasn't performed as well.

Just at like a quick glance to see, you know, maybe a day of the week performs better than another.

Then as soon as you turn this page, it goes right into the month of September and the months are grouped with the weeklies instead of being grouped all the way at the front of the planner.

I'm not going to show you September just because it has a lot of like, content stuff that hasn't been released yet.

But I will show you October and how I've been using it.

And I feel like it solves the problem of feeling like I didn't have enough space and also feeling like there was too much space.

So as you can see, it's a very Minimal design.

It doesn't even have any gridding and that is something that I've really been enjoying.

So along the left side I will jot down the content ideas for the month.

I am also a singer, so I do a lot of my social media there as well.

So I write down the ideas here and then I will just plunk them in on the so I can kind of prepare in advance.

That's something that I've been wanting to do more consistently for 2026 is kind of find an upload schedule and and have more of a plan going into it.

But I've really been enjoying having this much space just dedicated to the month.

And that was something that I was really looking for in my 2026 planner.

I went for this one and I will show you why when we get into the weeklies here.

So this is what a blank weekly looks like.

And if you're freaking out about the layouts, so am I.

When I first saw this, I had never seen anything like it.

I thought that was something that was very unique and fit perfectly for what I was looking for.

So if I bring you in a little bit closer here, you can see that they do have a timeline along the left side.

So each line here is an hour and then the right hand side is this beautiful memo page and I believe it's 5 millimeters just by looking at it.

And it is so 5 millimeter gridding on here.

Another thing about this planner that I really like is that at the end of each month, if it ends up being uneven when the month starts.

So you can see the month starts on a Saturday here, they will give you the option between starting it with the rest of the old month.

You can start November in October or you can start November in a fresh week and have the remnants of October here.

So they give you the option which is something that I've also been enjoying for me personally.

I like starting the new month paired to the month.

So I've been using this one just as like kind of scratch paper brainstorming for the next month.

So that's a really thoughtful detail that they've included.

So I'm going to show you how I've actually been using the weeklies.

And I've obviously redacted anything that was personal or that I just didn't want to share at this moment.

But I wanted to give you guys a Good look at how I've been using it functionally.

So I will start each week with a rolling weekly.

I have a video on this if you're interested or you've never seen a rolling weekly before.

So anything I definitely want to get done this week, I will circle with a red circle.

Anything that is less time sensitive, I will put a blue circle around it just so that I know it can be migrated to the next week.
