The KOKUYO Jibun Techo is a planner that organizes all the different information you have in your life. Its unique format is designed to help you plan out your days, set goals, track progress and keep record of the many things that goes on in life.
The monthly calendar spreads let you see the whole month at a glance. For months that start in the middle of the week, the end of the previous month is also shown, making it easier to read. The calendar can be used until March of the following year.
Monthly Project: You can see two months in a row, which is useful for project management. By writing in the subdivisions on the left-hand side, you can make your progress visible at a glance. You can also use this area to graph your weight, share prices, and so on.
Weekly Schedule: Providing equal space for weekdays and weekends, this 24-hour vertical layout helps you keep track of your daily activities.
Features:
- The color of the tabs changes every month, so you can have a fresh look each month.
- Lay-flat binding makes all parts of the page equally easy to write on.
- The planner uses specially developed thin paper. Lightweight and low-show-through, it resists warping even when you rub out erasable ink.
- Wide enough to hold a multi-colored ballpoint or other thicker pen, the pen-holder is handily accessible. The cover also has a pocket for business cards and similar items.
Additional Contents:
My Dream of This Year: It makes more sense to note down your goals for the year instead of month-by-month. The goals section is also subdivided, making it easier to think things through. (On the left hand side is an age chart for finding out someone’s age quickly from their birth year.)
Money Plan: It’s surprisingly hard to keep track of how much you spend each month. Try logging your spending here, so you can see exactly what’s going on. There are also some items left blank for you to customize.
Book & Movie List: Use this list to log books you want to read (or have read), movies you want to see (or have seen), and so on. Record your verdict with a face symbol, or jot down a brief review.
Gifts Given/Received: It’s all too easy to forget gifts received. Even if you resolve at the time to return the favor later, you’ll probably forget unless you write it down. You can also use this list to log gifts you've given.
Promise List: Verbal promises tend not to be kept. In the moment, you intend to keep them, but afterwards you simply forget. When you make a promise, get into the habit of writing it down straight away.
Looking Back on This Year: Here’s where you can summarize and reflect on everything you did and logged in your JIBUN_TECHO this year.
JIBUN means “myself” and TECHO can mean “planner” in Japanese. The Jibun Techo is not just a planner, it is a fun way to learn about yourself - the more you write about JIBUN, the more you can discover about yourself.
