The Concept Behind the Jibun Techo Planner

The Jibun Techo 2026 continues to follow its beloved three-part system:

LIFE – Keep long-term records like personal goals, family milestones, and favorite memories.
DIARY – Plan and log each day using a 24-hour timeline that helps balance work, hobbies, and rest.
IDEA – Capture your creative thoughts and ideas whenever they come.

This unique setup helps users stay organized while still feeling creative and free. It’s no wonder that the Jibun Techo has become a go-to life log planner for thousands of people worldwide.

The SOU・SOU Collaboration: Where Tradition Meets Modern Design

One of the biggest highlights of Jibun Techo 2026 is its collaboration with SOU・SOU, the popular Kyoto brand known for its playful and modern take on traditional Japanese patterns.

The new DAYs edition features SOU・SOU’s signature Japanese-modern designs, giving the planner a fresh and artistic look. Each set also includes exclusive stickers, so you can decorate and personalize your planner to match your mood or style.

This collaboration was born from a shared dream—to make planning and journaling fun for people all over the world. With its creative designs and practical layout, it’s a treat for both stationery collectors and productivity lovers alike! ✨

What Makes Jibun Techo 2026 Special

The DAYs edition introduces the clever T-shaped timeline format, showing 24 hours vertically and the dates horizontally. This design helps you clearly see how your time flows throughout the day.

If you balance different roles—like managing work, home, and hobbies—the one-page-per-day layout gives you space to separate and organize everything easily. You can write to-do lists on one side and journal your thoughts on the other!

The First Kit version, which includes the LIFE, DIARY, and IDEA books, now comes in bright and bold new colors to inspire anyone chasing their dreams. For professionals, the Biz version offers calm and elegant tones, while minimalists can enjoy the Lite version, perfect for simple daily logging.
