Hello! This is Komugi from the techo team. Ever since early summer, I’ve had the opportunity to see and touch the new techo lineup in person, holding internal techo meetings in my head while going about my work.

After endless deliberation, I kept thinking, “A weeks is just so cute... I really want a weeks!”—leading me to decide on getting my very first weeks for 2027. However, I prefer things having practical value above all else, so I'm not the type who is happy to buy something "just to leave it on display." Unless I can settle on a specific, concrete way to use something, I can’t bring myself to buy it with genuine enthusiasm. That’s just who I am!

Yet, by keeping the thought “I really want the Weeks!” at the top of my mind, ideas naturally started floating up, and I was finally able to purchase a Weeks for 2027!

While I haven’t picked up every item on my list yet, here is my 2027 techo team lineup as it stands right now.





■My first Weeks

In 2026, I used a Cousin for my daily journal, task management, expense tracking, exercise logs, and even a dream diary as part of my sleep tracking.

Although I managed to keep up with it every single day, one thought had been lingering in the back of my mind: “I rarely look back on the entries I write each day...”

While I’d occasionally reflect in a loose notebook, that book contained so many other random thoughts that it was hard to see my own progress, which didn't help with motivation.

That’s when I hit upon the idea: why not use a Weeks specifically for weekly reflections? Since it displays an entire week across a two-page spread, seeing personal growth and changes at a glance would be so much easier!



Reflecting on what I recorded in my Cousin inside my weeks, and then applying those reflections to the following week’s pages in my Cousin — I’ve accidentally created quite an incredible cycle for myself! If I stick with this routine, by the end of 2027, I feel like I might actually turn into a dignified adult!

Out of the entire 2027 Weeks lineup, I chose Yoshie Watanabe’s Petit Bloom for its perfect blend of cuteness and elegance. Just having this book sitting on my desk when I wake up in the morning makes me feel like, “Hey, maybe I’m living a pretty nice life after all?”

Since I haven’t finalized the exact layout and format yet, I plan to take my time thinking it through until January.

■Continuing with my Cousin

Since I naturally have a very narrow mental capacity, I tend to run out of physical and mental bandwidth quickly. Because of that, I’ve been using my techo almost as a survival strategy — for physical and mental maintenance, organizing my thoughts, and adjusting tasks.

In 2027, while continuing to use it as a daily maintenance techo, I also want to try my hand at collaging!

Seeing colorful, beautifully decorated techos posted on social media used to make me feel a bit discouraged since I felt I lacked the bandwidth to do it myself. But after creating a sample page for work, I thought, “Oh? I might actually be able to do this!” So I plan to attempt collaging on weekends or whenever I have spare time.

・TSUKI no IRO: Index Pockets

Because I want to cultivate an unwavering positive mindset, I took inspiration from Airi’s positivity techo and started logging three things daily: HAPPY (a joyous moment), THANKS (something I’m grateful for), and DONE (a good deed I did that day).

Since I write them almost daily, I log about 30 entries a month, so I plan to curate the absolute best Happy and Thanks moments of each month onto these index pocket cards!

Whenever I’m feeling down, looking at these cards and telling myself, “Hey, life’s actually pretty great after all!” sounds like such a wonderful thing to have.


・TSUKI no IRO: Add-on Sticky Notes


I use the weekly diary pages of my Cousin for task management, but I always had a faint anxiety that I’d eventually forget to rewrite uncompleted or postponed tasks on new pages. By consolidating tasks that require checking onto Add-on Sticky Notes, creating a safety net where I can think, “As long as I check here, I’m good!”, I can prevent missed tasks altogether. In addition to physical and mental maintenance, I hope writing in my techo next year will help me feel even more everyday joy and delight!

Only a few team members remain in our Techo Kaigi series! Look forward to tomorrow’s post as well!
