Struggling to keep up with your monthly goals? A planner dashboard might be the simple shift you need. In this video, I’ll show you how I customized my Hobonichi Cousin with a DIY dashboard that completely changed how I plan.
For years, I loved my Hobonichi Cousin but found myself forgetting about the monthly pages tucked away at the front. With ADHD, “out of sight, out of mind” meant I never revisited my goals. The solution? Adding a custom planner dashboard right where I already plan every day.
✨ In this video, you’ll see how I set up:
A creative monthly calendar (hello daily doodles!)
A decorative section divider to mark the start of a new month
My actual planner dashboard with goals, focus areas, reminders, and inspiration
Why this system is especially powerful if you have ADHD or a busy brain
This planner dashboard hack keeps my goals visible, reduces mental clutter, and makes my Hobonichi Cousin truly work for me.
