Techo Kaigi

[lunabee34]

Techo Kaigi is a Japanese term that refers to an evaluation of your current planner set up. Since the new planner season is about to begin, let's host one here.

What's working for you? What's not working for you? How will you be planning and journaling in 2025?

Ha! I am the same. Theoretically I love the concept of so many planners, but then I start to use them and they don't work for me even though I continue to think they are neat or aesthetically pleasing or whatever and wish they would work for me. LOL

Yes. And now that I know those weekly pages work for me, at the moment, I'm looking at others. But none of them feel good. Like the Jibun Techo's pages that even incorporate day and night hours in a nice way. And yet, and yet, the actual design is too notable for me.

(I've also fallen into the planner/journal youtube rabbit hole for a while. But I know, a lot of those won't work for me.)

It's so soothing to look at the pretty things, though. I love reading stationery blogs, etc.

[stefanyeah]

It certainly is. :D

I kinda like those "plan with me" and "my planner setup" videos for background noise. It seems they have a body doubling effect on me, because at some point, I'm back to writing/typesetting/whatever and don't even notice them anymore.

*nods nods*

I'm into ASMR, and I think the ones that are ASMRish in nature, too, that just show people writing with dip pens or making a spread in their planner or unboxing stationery items.

[stefanyeah]

I think ASMR is very hit or miss for me. (Also, I'm not sure if I always recognises what's ASMR and what's not.)
People writing and drawing, yes, I can see that. Bernadette Banner doing her cutting and sewing bits, hellsyeah.
All those restocking things, that youtube shows me in people talking against restocking? Nope. (But that might also be the overconsumption madness inherent to it…)

[lunabee34]

Mostly I watch videos of people getting facials and massages. LOL

[stefanyeah]

That's a genre of videos?! The more you know. XD

[lunabee34]

Yes! I mostly watch Korean and Japanese language ones. There's something so soothing about listening to those languages for me.

[stefanyeah]

I might try and look for some of those, my curiosity is piqued.

Here's a few of the ones I watch:

Thank you. I'll have a look. :D
