![]() Discs that are too big will get in the way more when you’re trying to write and if not full it will cause the planner to feel floppy or wobbly. You want to choose the smallest disc size that will still hold the number of pages you need. Obviously, larger discs will hold a lot more pages. The first thing to consider when choosing discs is the disc size (or diameter). They are made of either plastic or metal and have a little lip around the edge to hold the pages together (and prevent them from falling out). These are the circles that hold the planner or notebook together. ![]() Supplies You Need to Create a Discbound Plannerįirst, you’ll need discs (or “rings”). If you want to see me take pages in and out in a video, click here to watch it. The pages are punched in a unique way so that they hang onto the discs. This system works by using round discs with a little lip on the edge to hold the pages together. Think sticky notes, index cards, random notes, or invitations. One more unique advantage of discbound is that you can punch a piece of paper of any size into your discbound planner. That way you get to use more of the page! The other big advantage of disc binding over ring binding is that the punch does not eat very far into the page. Also, you can fold the notebook back completely on itself like you could with a spiral bound notebook. Also, discs get less in my way when I’m writing than traditional rings would. The discs take up very little space, so it doesn’t have to open as wide on a desk. However, it doesn’t have the extra bulk of a traditional ring bound system. I like how easy it is because there are no rings to open – you can just lift a page right out or place it right back in. You can easily remove, add, and rearrange pages to your heart’s content (just like you could in a 3 ring binding system). If video is not your thing, just keep reading.įirst, what’s so great about disc binding anyway? It basically combines the best of a 3 ring binder with a spiral bound book. If you’d like to watch me explain and demonstrate how this discbound planning thing works via video, click the image below. I get loads of question about what a discbound planner is, how it works, and how to get set up, so I thought I would compile the ultimate guide to discbound planning here. I get lots of emails and comments from people who also fell in love with the system after I shared it with them. If you are interested in selling them commercially, please contact me directly.A few years ago, I ran across a blog post where someone shared their discbound planner (and that was before complete discbound planners really even existed – they had printed and compiled their own), and my life was changed forever! Yes, I know that sounds a little dramatic, but I absolutely love the disc binding system.
