“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.” — Han Solo
Han Solo accidentally gave great productivity advice when he made the statement above in the film Star Wars. Google “productivity” and you’ll find a seemingly endless supply of methods, systems (the “hokey religions”), tools, and gadgets (the “ancient weapons”) seemingly required to help you. Han understood that while those things have their place, they can’t compare to a tool that is reliable, tried, and true. In my case, my blaster is a Hobonichi Techo notebook.
I love working with paper and I’ve used plenty of notebooks over the years. Currently I’m in love with the Hobonichi Techo. This pocket-sized book is so pleasant that I find myself making excuses to write in it. It’s my planner, scratch work area, journal, and scrapbook. It even has an interesting history.
It’s a popular notebook/planner from Japan. The company, Hobonichi, began selling an English-language version in 2012. Each year, Hobonichi asks its customers for ideas and feedback that influences the next year’s production model, which is pretty neat.
It’s available in several sizes. I use A6, which is slightly larger than my hand. This is a good choice for me, as it’s large enough to write in comfortably, yet small enough to fit into the back pocket of my jeans.
The Techo is divided into several sections. First is a yearly overview, followed by eight pages of monthly overview (two months per page). Next you’ll find several pages that look like a typical wall calendar, two pages for each month. What follows is the heart of the Techo.
The notebook has one page per day of the year. Each contains the date, day, moon phase, and an anecdote. Of course, there’s plenty of room to write on color-coded grid paper (one color per month). Also, there are five slots for to-do actions at the top of each page. I’ve been using these pages to outline articles, record to-dos, capture incoming stuff like “schedule that appointment” and jot down fun stuff the kids have done. This book has become a real companion.
In the back there are several completely blank pages, followed by sections to recored special dates to remember; restaurants, movies, music or stores that you love or want to visit/see; measurement conversion charts, and other random information.
I love devices that can handle more than one task and the Techo does so gracefully. I’m not as artistic as these folks, but I’m getting a lot done and that is good enough for me.
Are you a paper planner person, too? If so, what is your favorite and why? Finally, just to be transparent, I wasn’t paid or provided with any product in exchange for this review. It is genuinely what I use and spend my own money to buy.

These paper headdresses have been folded into the shapes of creatures from Chinese mythology by Paris accessories designer Qi Hu for the city’s Printemps department store.
Qi Hu created the spiky pieces for a display in Printemps using origami, a technique she developed growing up in China.
“Origami is our childhood game, it has affected me since I was little,” Hu told Dezeen. “I always use it as one of my main methods for my works, trying to tell Occident stories in an Oriental way.”
The designer explained that she was approached by the store’s visual merchandising department to create origami decorations for a display.
“I came up with the mask idea because it does not influence the clothing,” Hu explained.
“While they told me that they would put the decoration at the entry of the men’s section, I thought about guardians and some ancient creatures’ figures in front of Chinese traditional gates.”
Hu took the forms of revered Chinese creatures such as lions, dragons and kylins – a mix of a dragon, horse, ox and wolf – as the base shapes for the headgear.
The paper is folded into pointy shapes that resemble horns, tusks, teeth and ears.
The pieces are displayed on mannequins in the menswear department of Printemps and the designer describes them as being “full of masculine power”.
Although each piece in the collection is different, Hu reused some of the same techniques across all of the designs to speed up the folding process.
“I decided to modularise my design and I reuse and combine different elements,” said Hu. “Every mask has something in common but is truly unique.”
The headdresses are on show in the store until 18 March.
