Hobonichi users, how do you manage writing several pages a day?

I know I'm super early, but I'm considering getting a Hobonichi to journal. I already have a A5 notebook that's almost full, but I don't really go back to it (because it's a chore knowing what day it was for specific entries, although I might just not display it enough), and I'd spend weeks not writing at all for some reason. I think having a journal where the dates are pre-written might help.

The thing is, when I write entries, I tend to write several pages. Is there a way to "work around" this, or are Hobonichi just not for me?

@Theotime812 @journaling okay so!

While you can journal in a Hobonichi (I use an A5 cousin for example) you can't really write a LOT on one page.

What I would recommend, is when the store opens in september, buy either a Day-free (which you can basically use like a Bullet Journal, it does not have enough pages for you to write in every day, but you said you'd spend weeks not writing so that may work) or just buy one of the A5 notebooks they sell (I will often pick up a few myself)

In particular for the regular notebooks- the grid is smaller than you'd see in English Techos / Cousins / Weeks, etc, so unless you can write really small I would use the advice: ignore the grid. That's how I do it anyway.

@lapis@elekk.xyz @journaling@sh.itjust.works I didn't know there were day-free ones, but I'd like to journal more often (so I thought that if there were pages with dates already written, it'd help me remember to journal)

I'll still consider it though, thanks!
