Hello! I’m Momoka, a new member on the team.
Recently, my neighbors gave me two whiteboards — I’m not entirely sure of the details, but I guess their child didn’t have a use for them anymore! Since I have them now, I decided to use one for my techo kaigi.

Let me start by writing down how I used each one. I’m looking for ways to streamline and slim down my lineup.
My primary book, the Weeks Mega, has gotten quite bulky, and I’d really like to make it easier to carry around.



So first, I decided to split up my Weeks Mega — which used to hold everything from personal life to work — into two distinct categories: “Family” and “Work.”

For “Family,” I plan to use a 5-Year Techo to journal about our children’s growth and life as a couple.



For “Work,” I’m planning to carry the cool Natal Design Weeks to keep things sleek and smart.

On a quick side note: while shooting photos at the office for this techo kaigi, fussing over this and that, I grew so attached to everything that before I knew it, I bought almost all my candidate items and took them home! That’s why you’ll see a mix of very “office-like” backgrounds and photos of my whiteboard at home.

Anyway, moving right along with the meeting!

Next up is the Day-Free I use for studying English. I've always wanted to keep an English diary, so I’ve been working through the book "365 Days of English Journaling to Make Dreams Come True" by Chinatsu.

Since I take a slow-and-steady approach, I figured I’d need about 365 days × 2, so the idea of using two Day-Free books crossed my mind.

Since I’m aiming to keep things slim, I searched for a cover that would still look sleek even with two books inside, which led me to ONLY IS NOT LONELY.

I thought to myself, “Wait, did I just come up with an incredible idea? ...Hold on, is this setup even practical?” When I went to ask , I learned that was already using two Day-Free books together for work! Which completely convinced this will work out great.

Another side note: I decided to buy the 5-Year Techo because pointed out that if I start it next year, it will cover my eldest child’s growth from 1st grade all the way through 6th grade.

Back to the meeting!

If I keep getting sidetracked, we’ll never finish, so let’s pick up the pace!
Next is my book for doodling. I use it to draw with colored pencils and crayons, or to practice with Kakimori dip pens.

Next year, I’d love to learn calligraphy, so I’m going to try the Landscape Notebook, which is supposed to be wonderfully smooth for both writing and drawing.

Lastly, my Hobonichi Plain Notebook (A5). I started pasting paper ephemera collected during my trips this year, so I plan to continue that next year! Since I only travel occasionally, I felt an undated notebook works best for me.

I shared more details about the inside of this travel & junk journal in the “My Hobonichi Techo” video published on September 9th, so please give it a look if you’re interested!

And with that, my techo kaigi comes to an end!



...But please allow me one final side note!

Even though I can’t think of a specific use for it yet, I'm interested in the One Piece special edition techo.
But even without a usecase, I feel like it'll be entertaining to read since it's so packed with content! I can’t wait for its release on October 1st!

What's everyones favorite character? Mines Bon Clay.

Please look forward to the next Techo Kaigi tomorrow.
