The bundles are sold out right now, but we're working on getting them back in stock!

Let us know if you're a Jibun Techo user and what tips you would give to newbies in the comments.

Miriam and all the Jetpens crew: (I'm going to assume something and speak for all of us watchers of the videos): we love these. I don't always remember to thumbs up, but I do watch, and I do love, and I stalk the channel for new content. And I love that there are others there that are sending presents and letters to y'all, because sharing those back with us tells me that I'm not the only one who loves you guys.

I can't believe a stationary video made me cry.

Love my Jibun Techo standard, it’s been instrumental to managing my ADHD since starting it in October. I love the weekly spreads because it helps to remind me of all the things I’ve done and have to do for the week that I’d otherwise forget.

I have used the Hobonichi Cousin for the past three years. I’ve gone back to the Kokuyo Jibun Techo for 2025 because it’s more compact. Thanks, Jetpens, for carrying these wonderful planners for us! ❤

I ordered my first Jibun Techo in 2022, fell in love, and haven't looked back. When the new planner arrives each year in the mail, it's like Christmas.

My favorite planner. I love a vertical weekly. Easy to see what’s going on

[MicheleMaBelle]

It’s great to see you feature the Jibun Techo. It’s needs more attention like this!
I use it as my health and fitness planner. I love the easy tracking and planning set up, along with it’s slim profile.
Keep up the good work on these videos. ❤

I just got one for the new year! I'm using the extra dates (the Diary starts in Nov) to test things out and see how I like to use them. It's overwhelming at first but I'm super excited to fill out all the pages. You definitely don't need to use the sheets "as intended", the Promises section can be used to keep track of funny quotes, things you intend to do but don't have a plan yet, stuff you've borrowed from friends that needs to be returned, or even a short term habit tracker.

As a self proclaimed planner nerd, I LOVE the videos. I originally bought the Jibun B6 slim as my work planner for 2025 switching from a Hobonichi A6 from last year for structure and to be more organized. I started it for December and found the grids too small, even with my 0.5 Frixion Multi. I felt some initial guilt when I switched into a Take A Note A6 but it’s working out so much better. As for the guilt of leaving the Jibun B6 in the drawer, I gifted it to a coworker who is discovering the allure of Japanese stationary. So that definitely made me feel better with switching.

Aww the miffy bag was so cute! ❤

But yes, I used a biz once for work and I loved it so much. It literally had the perfect layouts for me, and the paper was great since I do use frixion, AND my handwriting is tiny to begin with.

I remember logging more than I planned. But I also had an idea book I’d use with the biz for work notes. UGH I MISS USING IT

[lizbethdavern]

wow! that gift almost made me cry! what a lovely gesture!

i tried that planner one year and didn't get the hang of it and didn't like it. i wish i would have had these information videos.

[flanberry]

I really enjoy the personal segments, along with the awesome stationery breakdowns of course hehe :) Hope to see a lot more of both :D

[annascully]

I am using the Biz version for the last 3 years...I love the vertival format with the Structure...help me focus in what is important. I use the idea as my daily journal, and even is the biz versio i use the clear cover, so I can always decorate the cover and I use a lot of washi tape and stickers to decorate. AND I LOVE MIRIAN...SHshe is so cute and professional at the same time. Actually all the Jetpens team are adorable ❤❤❤❤

[queenwyntir]

I used solid color tape to tape over labeled pages I don't use. That way, I can label it for something else or just not be distracted by the words on the page. It's a fun way to get creative while still appreciating and using the planner's thoughtfulness. I'm definitely in the Jibun techo camp vs. the Hobonichi or other, less structured options. I also love the colors in the regular Jibun techo. I also absolutely put stickers all over the clear cover already! Thanks for the video JetPens <3

[tammygant]

This has inspired me to try my old Jibun Techo again (I don't mind switching the dates). Thanks for the idea and for sharing that sweet note and gift at the end! Hugs!!

[AndFound]

The Jibun Techo Lite is my favorite planner! I learned about it from Ann’s JetPens video, I ordered it from JetPens and it’s the best planner I’ve ever tried. It made me feel like I could see and understand time in a new way and it’s been so helpful and fun to use. Thanks for all your videos!

[becmort]

The paper made me switch from the Hobonichi to the Jibun Techo, and I love the compact format. I just wish they had kept the two book set for the Days! As an educator, having my year split up into two parts was perfect. I don't know if I will use my Days as is.

I sometimes get really bad insomnia, so keeping track of sleep patterns really helped. I also have a set of Platimum Preppy pens with a Twsbi Eco and lefty Lamy Safari (which, ironically, because of the wider nib smears more than the others), so color coding different categories (red: work; pink: daughter's events; purple: events together; blue: personal: green: spiritual; orange: fitness) makes it easy to know at a glance what is going on and help with work/life balance.

[RollingMySaves]

I really love the service you all provide both with your store and these videos. Admittedly I’m pretty worried about the potential for prices going up on all imported goods. I know none of us want to see any of the team have to leave (those who are on camera or otherwise)😢
