Positive Focus Sunday - Planners for 2026

I am eagerly anticipating my new planners for 2026!

Yes, it is that time of the year. The only downside to ordering this year was Savvy's order. I 'corrupted' her last year and she was also ordering a Hobonichi planner lineup this year. The covers she wanted were like the most popular, so they sold out in seconds. Yes, seconds! Because I logged in, or attempted to, at the time the store opened online and it was sold out when I finished about 5 minutes in. So we are awaiting it to be restocked and will order then. 

Anyway...

These covers are by Iyo Okumi and are an embroidery inspired designed. Perfect for me - plants and needlework combined. 

The black cover (A5) will be my main calendar. It's where I dumped everything from household chores to gardening events. Notes to myself and miscellaneous to-do's are included. Despite being retired, I have now achieved a very active outside-the-home life. Therefore, I have to 'write it down' for I will forget it!

The green cover will be my EDC (Every Day Carry). I'll have it with me when I go to meetings and outside activities so I can have on hand for notes and setting down future meetings/events. I will also use it to record my spending while I am out so I can transfer it to my budget book. 

The center one (A6) is still a bit up in the air. But it had a horse head on it! And flowers! I will either use it for my daily card draws, dreams, rituals. More of a 'spirit' journal. 

So now it is monitoring to see when my planners are shipped and watching to see when Savvy's planners are back in stock. This is the 10th year I will be in a Hobonichi. My first order was in 2016. So I guess I have my planner peace...as soon as they ship it to me!
