Buy a schedule book for next year / 来年の手帳を買いに - My Actifit Report Card: December 13 2024

When I was a corporate employee, I couldn't give up my scheduler as a to-do list. However, for several years after I quit, I didn't particularly need it and didn't buy one for a while. Last year and this year, I somehow bought a paper schedule book, but left it on my desk without making good use of it.

I've always been someone who doesn't like to have a packed schedule, and I get depressed when I start to have more appointments. I don't have a schedule that is complicated, and I thought I could just write it down on a wall calendar. Recently, however, I have been panicking more and more because I accidentally forget my schedule. For example, I forgot and missed my elder son's parent-teacher meeting at the beginning of the second semester, and the other day, the schedule for my second son's daycare's Christmas party disappeared from my mind. My second son reminded me of this.

I can manage to remember my own schedule alone, but as my children get older, it may be getting harder to keep track of everyone's schedules. I need to get my schedule in order before I cause more trouble for others...so today I went to buy a schedule book for next year. I want a nice one that I will want to open every day! (I am not in the habit of using the calendar app on my phone. I don't know why😅)

The shopping mall I usually go to was empty because it was a weekday. There was a corner near the entrance of a general store, and there were a number of schedule books for the year 2025 lined up! I didn't like the ones with a lot of pictures on the cover, but plain ones were no good either, and I preferred light colors...and as I searched, I realized that MATOKA's schedule book was just the one for me.

The design of MATOKA's schedule books is simple, but there is a one-point logo in the middle of the cover, and many of these logos are unique and interesting. Wooper, astronaut, shrimp, chameleon, etc.... There was also a blue schedule book with a whale logo, and I seriously wondered if I should choose the whale as Hiver, etc., but in the end I decided on this snake one.

When I got home I looked up the design of the schedule book I bought on a website and found that it was named “Sweek”. Maybe it's a combination of “Snake” and “Sweet”? I am not sure, but I really liked it anyway. The back cover is cute too.

I was able to buy what I wanted, but since I did not reach 5,000 steps, I decided to look around the shopping mall a little.

Godzilla in the toy corner, which was newly renovated last month. It is quite powerful.

I also looked in the Kinokuniya Bookstore. But I didn't buy any books. I haven't been able to read much these days (well, for many years now). I wonder if the day will come when I can read again…

On the way home, I thought I would go to Starbucks for a cup of coffee... but gave up because Starbucks was very crowded and there was a line. I inflated my bicycle tires and went home.

It was a very cold and windy day, so I could only walk in the shopping mall. My step count did not increase much and I managed to stay above 5,000 steps.

会社勤めだったころはTo Doリストとして手放せなかった手帳ですが、辞めてからの数年は特に必要なく、買うこともありませんでした。去年、今年と何となく紙の手帳を買ってはみたものの、イマイチ活用できないまま机に置きっぱなしになっていました。

もともとスケジュールが詰まるのが苦手で、予定が増えてくると憂鬱になってくる人間です。それほど複雑なスケジュールを組むことはないし、カレンダーに書いておけばいいか・・・と思っていたのが、ここ最近、うっかり予定を忘れて青くなることが増えました。たとえば、2学期の初めの長男の保護者会を忘れていて欠席したり、先日も次男の保育園のクリスマス会の予定が頭から消え去っていたり。次男に言われて、思い出しましたが。

自分ひとりの予定だけなら何とか憶えていられるけど、子どもたちが大きくなるにつれ、全員のスケジュールの把握が難しくなってきたのかもしれません。これ以上人に迷惑をかける前に、スケジュール管理をちゃんとしなければ・・・ということで、今日は来年の手帳を買いに行ってきました。毎日開きたくなるような、素敵なやつがいい!

スマホのカレンダーアプリは使う習慣がありません。なんでだろう😅

いつも行くショッピングモールは平日ということもあり、空いていました。手帳といえばLOFTです。入り口付近にコーナーができていて、2025年の手帳がズラリと並んでいました!表紙に絵が多いのはNG、かといって無地もNG、色は淡いのがいい・・・と探していくと、MATOKAの手帳がどうしても私好みであることに気づきます。

シンプルだけど、表紙の真ん中にワンポイントのロゴが入っていて、そのロゴが他にはない面白いものが多いのです。ウーパールーパー、宇宙飛行士、エビ、カメレオンなどなど…。クジラのロゴの青い手帳もあり、「ここはHiverとしてクジラを選ぶべきか」などと真剣に悩んだのですが、結局このヘビの柄に決めました。来年は蛇年ですし。

家に帰ってからホームページで調べたら、「Sweek」と書かれていました。「Snake」と「Sweet」をかけたのかな?よく分かりませんが、とにかくとても気に入りました。裏表紙も可愛い。

目的のものは買えましたが、5,000歩に届かなかったので少しブラブラすることにしました。

先月リニューアルしたばかりのおもちゃコーナーに設置されたゴジラ。なかなか迫力があります。

紀伊国屋書店も覗きました。が、本は買わず。最近(と言ってももう何年も)あまり本を読めません。また読めるようになる日はくるのか…

帰りにスターバックスでコーヒーでも飲んで… と思ったら、スタバは激混みで行列ができていたため断念。自転車のタイヤに空気を入れて帰りました。

とても風が冷たい日だったので、歩けたのはショッピングモール内だけでした。歩数はあまり伸びず、何とか5,000歩を超える程度に留まりました。

go-kyoさんの手帳の時期のブログを読むと、ああ年末なのだなと思うようになりました。来年の手帳はシンプルで可愛らしいですね、そういえば巳年でしたね🐍 お子さんが大きくなるとスケジュールバラバラになりだすでしょうし、手帳が活躍しそうですね!sweek 気になりますね。This week の略?snake, sweet?なんでしょう〜。

ゴジラかっこいいです。

ここ数年、毎年MATOKAの手帳を買っている気がします😅でもほとんど使いこなせていなくて・・予定とか、目標とか書き込んで、充実した一年にしたいなあ〜・・・と、年始には思っているのですが😅

毎年、いつの間にか一年が終わってしまいます。

I also got a journal/planner diary this year in the hope of a to-do list for the next year. I know I am not good at planning or time management but let's see...

Nice! May your planner diary be filled with wonderful plans☺️
I am not good at time management either, but I will use my scheduler to have time to reflect on myself.
