What was my thought process.....well.....I like a spiral actually because you can fold it over and more portable in my opinion. The problem is that it's not customizable or so I thought. I was at Staples and remembered the Arc disc bound system. I stood in the aisle for a long time staring at the system trying to decide if this was something that I wanted to commit to. I finally decided yes I think so and I can't even tell you how incredibly happy I am with it!!
You do need to invest in a hole punch but to be honest I started turning everything into a disc bound system, including a cook book. All the recipes I find in magazines etc I can just punch it and put it into the book!!
The system can really work with any cover and all you need are the discs and the hole punch. I opted to purchase the larger discs so that they can accommodate up to 250 pages.
I also loved putting my Erin Condren in this system because I recently stumbled upon Leonie Dawson and her life workbook. I wanted to print this workbook out and put it in with my daily book as well. I wanted to stuff what I wanted with me at all times as well as flip it over on itself so that it doesn't take up as much space as a filofax!
If your someone that likes to put in your accessories such as a folder and plastic pocket you can surely do that as well!
It's been a great and exciting adventure and so far I love my creation. If you would like to see more...Here you go!!

Perfect timing on this post! So you punched holes into the erin condren cover and had no issues?! I have a Martha Stewart discbound system cover but woild prefer a Erin Condren cover. Its full size would I be able to do the same thing!
ReplyDeleteI too use the disc bound system! But I don't use the Erin Condren system... It's to pricey for me.. LOL But I use this one I found on esty..

I can print it and punch to use with my disc system! Love your youtube videos!
Ok, so I am not a planner addict (although I could be), but I am always looking for the "best" planner for me. A friend encouraged me to look at the Hobonichi/Fauxbonichi stuff and I really like a lot about it, but for many of the reasons you mention in the video I have been drawn to trying an ARC system. I need a planner that will go everywhere with me, I love the whole flip back on itself thing, I like to add pages without gluing an entire page onto another, I like to carry color cards, coupons, etc. in my planner, etc. But I also don't want to carry a huge brick with me everywhere. HELP!! Do you really use all these planners and not just one? Any ideas for how to best combine the ARC and the Hobonichi?
