Hi again, it’s me, the other videographer.
Thanks for all the likes in my pen case video!
As requested, I’ll be showing you my work planner and binder today.
Let’s get started!
This year I’m using an A5 Hobonichi Day-Free planner in a Mark’s cover.
Sadly, the cover is discontinued, but you can check out our guide
to see other compatible A5 and A6 covers for your Hobonichi.
In the cover pockets, I keep these funny
Hobonichi Short Phrase Sticky Notes for reminders
and these Midori Film Sticky Notes for repeating events.
This Kokuyo Campus Twin Ring notebook is my idea dump.
I removed the cover sheet and swatched some pens on the first page
to see how well they write on it.
I try to use fountain pens when I can,
and Kokuyo paper handles ink decently!
I usually jot down work notes or podcast notes in here.
Or just anything I want to remember and transfer later.
I decorated the covers with Appree stickers.
Maybe I just really like plants...
Sometimes I’ll put quotes here to look at
as a mini boost during the work week.
Right now, I have something from Eliud Kipchoge, the marathon runner.
As a distance runner in my free time,
I’m inspired by his humility and work ethic.
This one is from the YouTuber, The Organized Soprano.
I enjoy watching organizing and interior design videos,
and this is something I should practice more for a tidy home.
In the back of my planner, I also keep a blotter sheet
to protect the paper from hand oils.
The pencil board helps when writing on uneven surfaces.
Monthly calendars are nonnegotiable for me
because my work is project based.
Let me show you how I plan the month.
I mark recurring meetings and tasks with the Midori film sticky notes.
Pink is for marketing meetings.
I’ll also jot down the time here after it happens.
We have a big meeting on this day.
I put this on too crooked...
These are pretty sticky, so I can move and reuse them for a while.
Red is for Video events.
Some video tasks aren’t regularly scheduled.
I keep these tasks on the side until I need them.
The green sticky notes are for watering plants in the office.
Yes, some of our props are alive!
Watch until the end for a mini plant tour.
I move the sticky to the day I watered the plant last.
In the corner, I put a Hobonichi sticky note
with a color-coding key written on it.
It also acts as a convenient page tab.
At the bottom, I jot down all the video projects due this month.
The left column is reserved for mini projects.
I forgot to cross out this finished one.
Each day I split my most important tasks into 2 sections.
The top area is for any tasks that involve other people
like meetings or recording coworkers.
The bottom is where I write the task or project I’m working on.
In the blank pages of the planner, I create a weekly 5-day layout.
I write details or small tasks here.
I draw my layouts with the Kitaboshi lead holder.
Each day gets a simple header.
I write in my tasks according to the daily color-coding key.
My planning style is pretty simple,
but it helps me get stuff done.
As I finish tasks, I will gray them out with the Pentel brush pen.
Unfinished tasks will be marked with a forward symbol.
I’ll try to do this next week!
That’s all for my planning system. Let’s look at my video binder!
This binder is pretty similar to the popular Kokuyo Campus Slide.
I like that it includes matching clear dividers to separate sections.
It’s so clean and aesthetic...
I print all the scripts on Kokuyo or Maruman 26-hole paper
and leave a big margin on the left for notes.
The sheet style doesn’t align exactly,
but it’s more fountain pen friendly than copy paper!
I jot down each scene with a fountain pen
then make check boxes with the Morris highlighters.
This is actually what my handwriting looks like when I write fast!
Are you surprised?
When I need to remove pages in the Tefrenu,
I just pop open the rings.
I prefer this over the slide mechanism because I’m lazy.
I don’t have to align my paper to all 26 holes when rearranging.
Isn’t it so easy?
That’s all for my work planner and binder!
Do you also have a minimalist planner system?
Let me know in the comments below.
Also if you want to see my lettering supplies
and my handwriting & lettering practice book,
be sure to like this video!
I’ll swatch everything and give a flipthrough if we hit 4000 likes.
Thanks for watching, and stick around for the plant tour!
Let’s start off with the plants commonly found in offices!
This one is a frequent co-star in my videos!
Planterina the YouTuber convinced me to get this one...
It’s lush and low maintenance.
When in doubt, get a snake plant.
This cultivar is smol with whitish markings.
A friend gave me this as a cutting a few months ago.
The leaves are so pretty... they almost look fake.
Here are a few more plants around the JetPens office.
Peperomia are cute and underrated!
I have a few more on my wishlist.
We have mostly easygoing plants here.
Do you have any plants to keep you company at work?
