I have the hobonichi 5 year and I got it for writing a daily haiku (for which it’s perfect). I kind of keep falling on and off the wagon with writing them but I now decided to ignore the year and just write on the correct day when I manage (noting the year), and the parallel of having the spread for each day is really nice and will be even nicer when I get it more filled out. I think the benefit of this kind of layout is that it’s the analog equivalent of journal or social media apps that tell you “these are some things you did in the past on N day”.
