Thin and light

Even at 240 pages, the Weeks is incredibly compact. It’s 9 mm thick and weighs under 140 g, making it effortless to keep on hand. The Weeks Mega (only available in January-start) is 384 pages, 13 mm thick, and weighs 190 g. *As the Weeks does not lay completely flat by itself, hold it down lightly with your hand as you write.

Wallet Size

The Weeks is about the size of a ladies’ wallet. It may look slim, but the surface area of a page is actually nearly the same as the A6 Planner and Original. The book fits perfectly into a suit pocket or bag.

Perfect planner paper

The thin, light paper, called Tomoe River paper, is strong and resistant to bleeding ― an ideal choice for a planner. The Weeks contains a cream-colored paper variant that’s easy on the eyes when used outdoors.

Hobonichi logo

The Weeks has the logo embossed on the back cover.

HOBO pattern

The endpaper is designed with the letters from Hobonichi’s logo — shortened to HOBO — arranged in a chic design.

Two bookmarks

The Weeks includes two bookmarks you can use to hold your place in commonly-used pages.

Clear pocket

This clear pocket makes it easy to carry around loose notes or sticker sheets. It comes unattached, so peel off the back paper and stick it on the back (or front) endpaper if you’d like to use it.

Serial number

The serial number on the inside back cover gives each planner a unique identity, and makes your planner your very own special book.

Yearly calendar

A convenient double-page spread shows the yearly calendars for 2019, 2020 and 2021 at a glance for a useful reference when planning ahead.

Yearly index

The Yearly Index is designed for long-term planning and tracking, with one entire year laid out in a full-page spread. The top of each monthly column includes seven blank lines for you to use as you see fit.

The yearly index spans the following dates: January-start: January - December 2020 April-start: April 2020 - March 2021

Monthly calendar

The monthly calendar is ideal for managing schedules. The graph paper design is lightly printed to make it easier to write in your plans and take notes in an even line. The subdued gray and red allow for high visibility when writing in the calendar.

The monthly calendar spans the following dates:

January-start: December 2019 - March 2021

April-start: March 2020 - April 2021

Monthly data

Each header includes the year, numerical month, the traditional Japanese name of the month, and the English name of the month.

Dual-spread design

The weekly spread contains the weekly calendar on the left page and the blank graph paper on the right page. This helpful layout allows you to easily view your schedule at a glance while taking notes and drawing plans.

2-dot timeline

In order to facilitate the most efficient use of the limited space in each day, we’ve included two subtle dots to split each day into morning, afternoon, and evening. You can use these however you see fit, such as writing plans in the two left spaces and random notes in the one right space, or disregarding the dots altogether.

Memo page

The right page on each weekly spread contains blank graph paper to give full reign to users when drawing out plans or writing out schedules. You can also draw lines across the page to correspond with each of the 7 days on the left to give yourself more writing room. At 3.55 mm, the graph paper’s grid is slightly smaller than that of the daily planners.

Weekly quote

From the heartfelt to the humorous to the whimsical, each weekly spread of the planner features a quote specially selected from the planner’s parent site, Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun. The quotes for the Weeks version are only in Japanese. If you would like the quotes in English, please buy the Hobonichi Techo Planner.

Graph Paper

The latter half of Weeks is filled with 3.55 millimeter graph paper designed with a subtle vertical line that makes it easy to draw out your schedule or take notes. Page numbers are listed on the corner of each page. Number of memo pages: Weeks (January start): 69 pages Weeks Mega (January start only): 213 pages
