Why am I drawn to Hobonichi even though I've never finished a full year?

I have this weird magnetic attraction to the Hobonichi Cousin. Every December, I think about buying a January start. Every spring, I think about getting an April start. But I've purchased three in the last eight years and have never seen one through to completion.

I get planner envy and then once it's in my hands I remember the grid size is too small for my handwriting and the pages require a blotter or pencil board because they take forever to dry.

I used about 8 months of one back when the paper was OG Tomoe River Paper. That was my best effort. The last one lasted three weeks.

I guess I'm asking whether others have this same pull toward a planner which isn't working for them? And should I buy an April start Cousin to see if THIS is the year I finally complete one?

It's an expensive compulsion!
