Valentina, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom and I appreciate you for how transparent you are in your video about your journey. I am a full-time certified mental health coach who also lost a parent within the past few years, and even though I work with people every day who are going through similar challenges, it is very different when it is time to reflect about myself. Thank you for the wonderful ideas and for the inspiration to also use my little hobonichi to start a healing journey of my own in 2024😊. Sending thoughts of continued healing and peace your way!

Thank you so much for your kind words and support!!!❤️❤️❤️🥺 it means a lot to me!! I’m so sorry you’ve lost a parent, it’s heartbreaking and nothing can heal it fast… I know it’s sometimes easier to be there for others than to fully dive into your own grief 😔 But we need it❤️ I’m with you, and we will get through this, I know ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing, please take care!🙏🏻❤️

Yay! Well done my planner sister. I've been planning for over 10 years and when my mom transitioned I had literally just found the best TN setup which was oddly just like the weeks vertical setup. Welcome to the missing mom club that no one wants to be a member

Also take your time as an engineer now technical program manager I thought I could assign a time to the grief stages it's been 9 years. After grief therapy, a short horrible affair with red wine and antidepressants. I'm just getting back to some emotional normalcy.
@valentina.hudson9 ай бұрын
@techplannerbabe I feel you! 🥺🙏🏻 I tried to assign a convenient time to grief, but it just doesn’t work that way it seems… grief therapy is definitely on my list to try, because so far it just sort of comes and goes in waves. One day I feel happy, and the next day I’m crying rivers…😣 Sending you a virtual hug ❤️

First I want to say I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Despite going through that it seems like you've been able to keep your Hobo Weeks up to date in most areas. I enjoyed this video a lot. Thank you for sharing! I especially enjoyed your old tracker system (with the purples). I don't quite know what to do with my monthlies either. I will have one Hobo weeks for social media and one for health. I might use the monthlies to track step counts or water intake or something similar. I think you could use the monthlies for: 1. Trackers - steps, water, mood, sleep, cleaning, workout, weight, period, medication, meals, birthdays & special occasions, screen time, etc 2. A word a day in a new language or in your native one 3. Music of the day 4. Tv-shows or movies that you watched 5. Books that you read or listened to 6. A colour swatch for each day 7. A daily quote, 8. Gratitude 9. A sticker a day (as you've done) 10. Favourite moment of the day 11. A count down to a specific date 12. Daily achievement (something you did that you're proud of or that was a big deal to you) 13. A thing a day that you like or that makes you you 14. Decluttering - one thing a day has to go. What did you get rid of? 15. With a sentence describe what's been on your mind each day (ex: stressed about exams) 16. A thing a day that made you smile I hope this list helps or gives you some inspiration ☺

i use monthlies to add in things i might want to remember the date of, or something that happened (i.e., i recently chopped nearly all my hair off, and i wrote that down. or when i saw a really cute dog). i also write down holidays, etc. there as well: i kind of use it as a dump of events i put in thre weekly pages. i also put down any significant purchases anf their payments i made (i.e., anything over $100). this is because i put all of these purchases on a credit card, so it helps to track when i made the purchase. once i’ve paid it off, i add a check mark next to it.
@borntwobeealive9 ай бұрын
I am sorry to hear about your mum ❤ I draw horizontal bars into the monthlies for highlighting holiday phases and longer events. There are just enough lines for this. That way I can see if something is overlapping and who is gone when. Looks nice, too. Plus I add two moon phases.

I don’t know whether it would be too personal, but your health 5 year notebook looks really interesting - I was thinking of using a cousin next year to track that and use the dailies for food/ venting idk but would be interested how you use yours. Really sorry to hear about your mum 💙 I found your channel today and I look forward to seeing more videos :) I know this is random but I studied Russian at uni (I’ve been lucky enough to go to St Petersburg once) and I love seeing the Cyrillic text :) xxx
