Across the reviewers we read, the Hobonichi Techo Original A6 is treated less as a planner and more as a 'life book' — a daily-page format with weekly spreads that doubles as journal, planner, and notebook. r/hobonichi consensus repeatedly frames the A6 size as both its biggest strength (genuinely pocketable, slips into a bag) and its biggest weakness (writing space per day is tight).
