Hobonichi Costs Rose Significantly
- Hobonichi ordering has become substantially more expensive this year due to higher item prices and new shipping/duty fees.
- Overall cost increased about 30–40% compared to prior years, limiting accessibility for some buyers.
Ways To Make Hobonichi Cheaper
- If Hobonichi prices bother you, buy the planner separately from retailers like Amazon or JetPens and source covers on eBay.
- Avoid buying a new cover every year to keep costs down since covers are durable.
Full Focus Launched A Lighter Edition
- Full Focus released a Minimalist version that keeps core features but uses one page per day instead of two.
- The new book is lighter (160 vs 304 pages) and removes the extra notes page to reduce weight and waste.
