An example is the Hobonichi 5-year techo.

Have you used one? What does a random page look like? What have you found it most helpful for over a page-a-day diary or undated diary?

I am considering getting one. I'm just afraid of, you know, using it for 2 weeks and forgetting about it. I think it would be helpful for tracking long term goals and doing bite-sized journaling.

Gladly :) I have a book (Chang's 36 Secrets) that walks through the minor arcana of the Tarot in their astrological seasons per the Golden Dawn (which is not an organization I'm wild about, but I want to learn the associations anyway). None of my other books have enough room to do the cards on the dates and also fit my notes on the astrology itself (which I know nothing about). It finally occurred to me that a Hobonichi 5 year has a full A4's worth of space per page layout if you cross out the other years, and it's still dated for the walk through the seasons. So I'm going to dedicate the whole book to a 2025 study of Tarot + astrology, and I have about five books that I want to work through and note in this one book (different authors' takes on the various cards, plus some exercises for me to do to consolidate my own thoughts). I'm still figuring out the layout (and whether to print pictures or not), but I should end up with a nice reference book by the end of the year. I just got the book in hand Monday afternoon, so I'm excited to start laying things out a bit more this weekend.
