Hello, it's Mizunoya from the techo team! Recently, I've been conducting techo kaigis in my techo, on my phone, even in my head... yet I still can't decide. Regardless, let me introduce what I'm thinking about.

■Work Techo
As a camping enthusiast and longtime fan of Natal Design, using the Hello New Day! (Retro Stripe) Cousin cover was locked in a long time ago.

Originally, I intended to use this cover as a stay-at-home book. But I reconsidered: if I’m using such a durable Natal Design cover, wouldn’t it be a waste not to carry it everywhere and put it through its paces...? So I decided to use this cover for my primary work techo, which I carry around the most! Inside, I plan to use a Cousin avec.

Just a few days ago, I was thinking, “I’ll use the Weeks for work,” but thanks to (or because of?) this sudden epiphany, my techo kaigi was thrown right back to square one.

■Anything-Goes Techo

To be honest, I’ve been saying “I want to try using a Planner someday!” for the longest time. I had never picked one up before because I couldn’t decide on a specific purpose, but for 2027, I’m making my Planner debut as an “anything-goes” notebook where I can write absolutely whatever I want! For now, I’m thinking of using it for input logs, morning brain dumps, and illustrated monthly calendar diaries. Since the interior design is so sleek and simple, I’m considering keeping my stationery choices strictly monochrome to match.

It looks stylish enough on its own, but V&A’s cover caught my eye, so if it gets restocked, I’d love to put one on...

When the planning team members and told me the meaning behind the William Morris quote printed inside the pen loop, I felt an overwhelming urge: “I MUST have this cover in my home!”


Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.

and wrote about this in their Techo News posts, too, right? I strongly agree with them!

■Health Management Techo

This year, I've been recording my health management on the weekly diary pages of my Cousin, but even though I write in it so much, for some reason I occasionally forget these pages even exist...

said the same thing, so I wonder if this a common experience for multi-book users? Whenever I suddenly remembered, there’d be a long stretch of blank pages that felt daunting to fill... Since that negative loop kept repeating, I’m planning to use a Weeks specifically dedicated to health tracking in 2027!

I still can’t decide which Weeks to go with... but for the pencil board, it was love at first sight with Akiko Miyakoshi’s “Lazy Morning”!





When I first saw it, it looked so soft and fluffy — I could almost hear gentle breathing or feel a pleasant breeze blowing through the window. Imagery of the space just flooded my mind, and no matter how many times I look at it, I love this artwork. It feels like the absolute perfect pencil board for a health tracking techo.

I’ll take my time choosing the Weeks book itself!

■TV Drama Journal


This year, I’ve been recording my thoughts on TV dramas in a Moomin graph paper notebook. Since I haven’t filled it up yet, I’ll keep using the same notebook. Moominpappa agonizing over a theatrical script while Moominmamma watches over him anxiously is just so adorable. Even after looking at it almost every day for a year, it still feels fresh and cute!

■Diary


For my journal, I’ll continue using my 5-Year Techo. I’m trying not to paste too many paper items into this 5-Year Techo, so whenever something comes up that I want to paste, I’ll save it in the Collect & Collage: Pasting Notebook.



I’ve already started using Collage Stickers (Pocket) to paste paper items I picked up during a business trip to Korea. I can already tell it’s going to be a total game-changer...! I love how just arranging and pasting things makes them look so wonderful.

And that’s where my techo kaigi stands right now!

Just a few days ago, I was choosing entirely different items, and I haven’t even finished picking out my stationery yet. As I read through everyone else’s Techo Kaigi posts, I have a feeling my choices will keep shifting back and forth... But I’ll enjoy the process and take my time mulling things over until the end of the year!
