If your paper is getting hung up on your discs, try running a dryer sheet over the surface of the discs. It makes turning the page smoother.

[@JuliesPlans]

Great tip! Thank you!

[@rosettacosta7425]

Sorry I’m a newbie to the planner world. What do you mean by a ‘dryer sheet’ please?

[@tuesdayisthenewfriday]

@@rosettacosta7425 a dryer sheet you put in your dryer to dry your clothes!

[@Motti88]

Do the pages come already punched or would a hole punch be necessary?

[@GothicWiccan61]

@@Motti88pages are already punched but later down the line I think buying a hole punch for the disc system will be beneficial seeing how you’d be able to add all types of different sized papers, make your own covers or dashboards. I like the flexibility and customization of the disc system.

[@booth284]

I have had the Arc punch system for 10 years and love it very sturdy

[@yesiamsharon]

I moved to the disc system after realizing I needed and would make constant use of the flexibility to add/remove as needed. I was in a coil system. Right now I cannot imagine moving out of my disc system. I'm using Happy Planner because it was very affordable to do a test drive and after my test drive, I never left it. Another plus, I like something that can fold back on itself. I do use the 1.5" discs but I have added my budget, mental wellness, physical wellness sections to it so works well with the large discs.

[@JuliesPlans]

That’s awesome! And I agree that starting with happy planner is much more affordable! Especially with those Michaels coupons!

[@Luluwahkey]

Where do you get its sheets? Or do you make them on your own?

[@yesiamsharon]

@@Luluwahkey I purchased from several Etsy shops. I searched for classic happy planner printable

[@ratbag113]

I’m in the UK and discovered the disc system by accident through links in videos about other products. I currently have a happy planner mini planner but I’m not a fan of the complicated designs, I like simplicity. Then found the Cloth and Paper inserts. I’ve got a lot of items already so for me it’s just purchasing the inserts and some monthly dividers, which keeps the costs down (especially shipping wise). Thank you for this video as I found this very helpful.

[@squigglove]

Personally, I like the personalization of these. You don't need to buy pre-made inserts; I make my own with scrapbook papers and my label printers.

[@shanelldrago1836]

Half letter discbound is my absolute favorite system.

[@CoffeeBookChick]

This was an EXCELLENT overview. I'm really excited to dive into the disc bound system and have been waiting for a while on how to do it all!

[@simplefaithanddaisies]

Hi Julie, I am a homeschool mom and after not using purchased EC's, I purchased the HP Teacher Planner and fell in love. I loved that I could punch any extra inserts, lists, papers and put them directly into the planner. I had scope & sequences, notes from list pad, etc. I've never enjoyed ringbound and with OCD i need to be able to change things, pull things out and replace when n eeded. I had purchased some adorable teacher printables on etsy and was able to work them into the HP TP and remove other things I didn't need. Its such a WIN-WIN! I remember years ago when the arc system came out and I loved it then but left it for ringbound and tn and spirals as the trends came. Now my go to is Stalogy a6, b6 and disc system. Thanks for sharing this. i think a lot of people need to feel its okay to not be with the trend and find what works best for them and your video shows that. The best thing is you can make your planner any size you want using this system and easily change disc size to allow for growth! Thanks forthe idea of moving old months to a different planner to 'store' them! Hugs! jen

[@vickiemendoza9252]

I've been using the disc system for a couple of years. I agree with everything you mentioned. I actually don't like using a cover because I like to keep it light weight and folding a planner back on itself is a big thing for me, LOL!!. Also, getting digital downloads first to try the layouts is helpful because inserts are not cheap! yikes!

[@JuliesPlans]

Totally agree!

[@calisongbird]

I'm the same way; I prefer using the notebook itself with just poly covers, it's lighter weight that way. I use a combo planner band/pen holder to keep it closed.

[@sew_whatstheplan8772]

Thank you, Julie! This was super informative and I always appreciate your honesty. I started some disc bound notebooks (dot grid) as a creative outlet and am having a lot of fun playing around with different size discs, covers, paper etc. I can definitely see how it gets super expensive and your advice on not running out to buy everything in the beginning is very true. I found the staples metal discs on clearance for $5 and picked up like 3-4 different packs just because of the price. Look forward to seeing how this system evolves for you!

[@lifeasqueline]

I just started giving the disc bound a try a few months ago and it's slowly becoming my go to and catch all. The punch definitely makes a difference. I buy inserts and have printed my bbp workbook and put it on my discs. The versatility is what does it for me.

[@jillc720]

I am getting into this system now. I have been using the disk bound system to keep track of my projects. I have decided to continue that and bring all my notes from all my notebooks into one disk bound book. That is the main selling feature of this system….and that it lies flat. I’m getting ready to let my Filofax, Franklin Covey and any other systems like that go. Thank you for the video….it inspired me to continue in my pursuit of this system.

[@pinklady185]

Currently using junior size 8 discs, but next year I’ll be a size down to 7 discs, which is like a B6 or HP mini size. Love the disc system and being able to customize the exact pages I want in any given month. I only use the punch from Levenger (because yes the punch truly does matter) and Levenger discs. I love all the colors they have available. I swap my covers all the time to fit my mood. So many cute covers available on Etsy. PTPAPER has wonderful inserts with a wide variety of layouts that can come dated or undated and she also offers printables. This was a good video for those starting out with discs. Junior is a good size to start with and you can always go up to a letter size with 11 discs or down as small as a micro with 4 discs. It’s fun to play around with all they options and I’d never go back to coil again. Thanks Julie

[@luckdjinasimeon7]

This is very helpful, kills the impulse buying😂

[@Butterflies.and.Tulips]

Another plus is the inserts are half letter size. They are much easier to “get right” than A5!

[@maryannbenoche6766]

Thank you for sharing today. I simply am an EC tried and true user since 2010. The disc system is not for me. I am happy for you that you have found something you enjoy!

[@JuliesPlans]

Thank you!

[@outinarizona]

I'm testing discs 2nd half of 2020, being work from home. 1.5 in discs works for me. I have two half-letter books - one for project/mtg data, one for daily/weekly planning. I'm in the market now for a easy on/off light divider so when I fold it back, I can use that divider as a "back cover" and keep the pages clean.

[@outinarizona]

Follow-up 2022. I'm still in 1.5 inch discs for the year's daily/weekly planning. these days, project/mtg notes are mostly digital, so i downgraded that book to 1 inch discs with lined & dot grid pages for brain dumps/reminder notes about projects when i'm away from the computer. the light divider i ended up making myself with my favorite scenes and lamination.

[@outinarizona]

I use a Levenger punch. Short stems like the ARC with biggest mushroom holes. So easy to slide paper around the rings.

[@victoriacoleman7923]

I really appreciate your thoughts and “worked for me’s”! I was struggling with the reason my pages were so hard to turn. I love the disk bound system but not being able to get to sections quickly was so disappointing. I will definitely be trying a different punch to see if this resolves my issues.

[@GothicWiccan61]

There’s a tip to wipe the discs with a dryer sheet and definitely get the metal discs the paper glides smoothly. I don’t have any issues with pages being turned after switching to metal.

[@marcycalderon]

Hi Julie! I totally agree with everything you said on the disc planning system. I started playing with it a few years ago and have realized I always come back to discs. My setup is similar to yours, weekly hourly and daily C&P undated (for work notes). I have a mixture of accessories from ARC, TUL, Martha Stewart and The Happy Planner (and of course, Cloth and Paper). Love the video!

[@cyndielake4092]

I actually started with discs after using EC (way back in the mists of time) for a few years. Then happy planner came along and I got caught up in that which is fun, but I need flexibility on a more compact scale and back to Half letter discs. The arc punch is amazing! It will punch just about any thing! And the @clothandpaper as well as @janesagenda are both amazing if you’re going to try out half letter discs.

[@danielleflanagan1661]

I feel the same way about undated inserts! I use my inkwell press discs for memory keeping and there is no pressure cause I am planning ahead in other dated planners and I can be as creative as possible :) Love this video!

[@prettyplannerpages9193]

This was really good to watch! I just purchased the same C&P frosted cover and discs and I'm very slowwwly building my planner over time. I currently use a few already for my daily and weekly use (Recollections, Aura Estelle and Print Pression) but I truly want my own transparent, frosty planner with quotes and weekly inserts that are tailored for me. Thanks for the in-depth review! This completely helped me!

I customize inserts or get printables from etsy for my disc system. This would be nice to mention if someone is not able to purchase all the stuff right away.

[@JuliesPlans]

Printables are great! For me personally, I get frustrated with them 🤣 The only reason I didn’t mention them is because I don’t use them.

[@rosettacosta7425]

@@JuliesPlans why do you find them frustrating if I may ask?

[@auntkristen3751]

I love a disc bound system! Current system is A5 with a Tul leather front and back. I love the slim profile of not being in an insertable cover also, but the clear covers weren't for me. Levenger discs and punch are my tools of choice. I started with an Arc punch and liked it, but the Levenger makes my favorite mushrooms. In 2020 I used Glam Planner foiled inserts, but I miss the sidebar whole lot (main reason I have hopped between A5 and EC in the past). In my current setup, I punch a bookmark insert every week to function as a sidebar. What I can't overcome is the half sized weekend days simply aren't enough space for me. I am trying A5 wide for 2021.

[@jmatos7872]

You make it all look so flawless !

[@dawnponticello5985]

Hi Julie, my name is Dawn. I am trying to set up my new 1/2 letter planner. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to say what your opinion was on 1/2 letter after 30 days. I found this video very helpful! Especially when you said to take your time and figure out what works for you. Also the fact of taking it slow due to cost! You are totally correct. It does get very costly to buy all the things you need for a new full system. Especially if you use different sizes! Thanks again for doing this video. I just found you & am now subscribed to your channel! Have a great day!!!

[@JuliesPlans]

Thank you so so much! You truly made my day and I’m so glad this was helpful for you!

Thank u Julie. I have 2 more questions if u don't mind? Are you using Cloth & Paper clear dividers? Also I got the names of your 4 top tabs, however I cannot see the side tabs. Would you mind telling me what they are? Please & Thank you. I have never set mine up by putting all months, weeks and days. I think I might give that a try.

[@natashasanders8785]

Hi Julie!! The punch matters big time! I bought Tul paper inserts from Office Depot/Max and learned that the mushroom of the punch is different from company to company. 😑 And the discs matter also. I have some clear plastic discs from Martha Stewart that I love but the plastic HP discs don’t do it for me. Not to mention they have to be the right size. Otherwise it gets bulky. Never fully satisfied are we?? 🤷🏾‍♀️ 😆. I LOVE how classy your planner is! Every time I see it, I want to run out and duplicate it! 😍

[@DanaDesmond-BonnySoulDesigns]

I totally agree that the punch matters. I have both and never reach for my HP punch any longer. ARC punch is well worth the cost.

I love a disc bound planner! It makes for easily adding and removing what does and doesn’t work at any given time! I’ve mainly used Happy Planner because how easily it is to find and the price. Lately I’ve started making my own, steering away from the bright and bold colors. But I do love some stickers and decorative planning! I love the longer stem of the Happy planner punch though. I have an Arc punch I used for my covers, but when I use it for regular inserts, I feel like they don’t stay in as well. I’m willing to take the time to use my Happy Planner punch!

[@goldfeatherplans3635]

Great video, thank you! I just got into discs and this was very helpful. Also, your handwriting is amazing!

[@susannek4546]

I did use Happy Planner for a few years. I liked the functionality of it, just not the aesthetics to be honest. The HP cutesy look wore thin after a couple of years of it. I have Plum Paper now and ordered a Simplified Planner for '21. I am hoping that is where I find my final planner peace but we'll see.

[@juliel7794]

The happy planner has come out with a minimalist line. Very toned down!

[@romoplans]

I agree totally! They do have more neutral options now which is making me think of picking up one of theirs for 2021 but still deciding lol But I'm like you....the cutesy, super bright colors got old for me.

[@joakimam.9506]

This is why I left and switched to cloth and half sheet. I love the minimalist look. I know they have more minimalist planners now but I'm too far gone on C&P.

[@annec8127]

Ha! I'm not surprised you get stuff from Little Miss Fancy Plans. Your aesthetics are so similar! Beautiful neutrals with subtle accents. Excellent video as usual, Julie. I agree about going slowly as there are so many options, though I was desperate for a work documentation solution, so I dove in pretty suddenly once I realized a spiral notebook wasn't working for me. I got the Levanger punch (the medium sized one, not the gigantic one) and punched an unbound Plum Paper notebook that I've engineered to work for me for tracking notes and meeting minutes for multiple ever changing projects. I got plastic dividers from Knockout Print Shop and discs from Levenger (since I was already buying the punch from them). There are a lot of good options for discs depending on your priorities - aluminum ones are reputed to have the smoothest action, but there are lots of fun plastic ones in different colors. I still have a spiral bound book for general notes or taking notes on a jobsite, but if I need to "file" them, it's easy to punch them and add them to the notebook. I love my system and expect to stick with it for work for a long time. Once I'm done with my current Lifeplanner at the end of the year, I'm getting an unbound weekly planner from Plum Paper. You covered most of the basics! My set up is not as decorative as yours, but it is fantastically functional.

[@JuliesPlans]

I’m really intrigued by the levenger discs.... I hear their sizing is slightly different but I think I want to try them.... maybe next month 🤣

Hi Julie ~ I had the same issue with theh disc sizes. lol You may want to look into the Metal HP medium discs. They are 1.25". They give you a little more room than the 1" but they are not too bulky like the 1 1/2".

[@TheNerreece]

Thank you for sharing... Can you slide your planner cover into the LV Paul MM Cover or inside the LV desk agenda? I would like to use either one, but unsure about what exact size would work. I would rather use 1 inch disc as my foundation to make my planner useful.

[@amandaglover8976]

I’ve got clear discs coming from c&p, I think they’ll be a little smaller than my current ones, but I really want to use them. I currently have black metal ones and they’re great, just too dark. I’m in classic hp size, if they’re too small I think I’ll just have my most used inserts on them and inserts that can stay at home on the bigger discs. My 2021 inserts came last week and having to wait to use them is a test, using the undated dailies to fill in the between time.

[@JuliesPlans]

That’s a great idea! Fancy plans co sells 1.25 inch clear discs in case you’re still on the hunt for a slightly larger size.

Thank you! Excitedly in process of switching from rings to discs (before that Traveler's Notebook...and I incorporate bullet journaling). I'm so happy to find so much online content helping me troubleshoot and find tips! In a detailed comparison video by At Home with Quita I did see the biggest Levenger Circa punch is even better in my opinion than the ARC. And both definitely better than the Happy Planner one (unless someone wants to only ever use Happy Planner stuff as their "mushrooms" have a longer stem than ARC and Levenger). I'm wondering if the cheapest Levenger punch (cheapest of their 3) is worth it to just get me started on a budget even though it only does a page at a time. I saw a little single punch (with helpful little ruler guide) on AliExpress got some good reviews but very long shipping time. Or maybe I'll just get dotted pre-punched pages on Etsy to get started without a puncher (I like completely making all my own layouts). Am DIYing covers and dividers out of cardstock, normal hole punch, scissors (can imitate mushrooms close enough that way). Dollar Tree cutting mats can make covers too! Plastic discs are like $3 a set at say Staples, nice! Can upgrade to metal ones later.

I'm in A5 rings for my work planner and spiral for personal until the end of the year. I'm trying to decide if I want to go back to discs (which I used for years), or another A5 ring planner for personal stuff. Strangely enough, I prefer undated dailies for work, as I don't need to have details of everyday. So I just use the daily when I need it. I tried personal rings for about 6 months, but realized it was too small for my fading eyesight.

Brynn B I no longer receive PR packages from EC. I also heard that they did not send these boxes in advance to affiliates this time around.

Cloth and Paper is interesting, but I’m so NOT a disc bound girl... Have tried with the Happy Planner, really not my thing!

[@JuliesPlans]

Happy planner really isn’t my thing either but cloth and paper is so different!

[@christine3395]

Is it sturdy to write on if you fold the front pages behind so you are only writing/ seeing one side/ page at a time?

[@faithblanck7889]

What size discs did you use in this video?

[@vicmcnair]

Great video! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Love the disc bound system! I do have a couple of questions. Have you printed any inserts? If so, did you print them on a special sized paper? I was wanting to print some inserts for my planner, but I didn’t want to have to worry about cutting off the excess on a regular piece of paper. Also, how much does the arc punch cost?

[@JuliesPlans]

Thank you! I’ve printed a few but not many.... it’s not my fave lol. When I do print I use any bright white 28lb paper!

[@calisongbird]

When you print inserts for the Arc Junior, be sure to print for “half-letter” size. It is exactly half the dimensions of a standard 8.5”x11” sheet of paper.

C&P is not selling the date dailies for 2021 :(

[@JuliesPlans]

Ugh that’s sucks

[@raealdridge8200]

I keep missing out on the glass cover restock. Are the translucent dashboards the same thickness? Because I’m ready to just give up and use those as covers 😄

[@JuliesPlans]

I feel like they are very close in thickness! That’s a great idea to use them as a cover for the time being!

[@funwithplans234]

Great video , useful tips ! is this half-letter disc system same as Mini Happy planner ?

[@JuliesPlans]

Thank you! The mini happy planner size is smaller!

[@funwithplans234]

tyvm dear ^^

The only discs I can find here in 🇨🇦 , are the M by Staples black plastic discs. They have them in the 1-inch and the 1.5-inch. But they're so ugly. I would prefer the gold but with shipping here, it quickly gets expensive for all planner things. I also love your clear discs!

[@kristencuzzaniti4899]

Hi Julie! Great video! Very helpful and informative! I’m trying the disc system because of your videos and I’m loving the set up. I have the top tab dividers and the CEO tab dividers (both from C&P) and every since I put the CEO dividers in I find everything harder to turn on the discs. I’m using aluminum 1inch from Stapes. I don’t think it’s too chunky either. The dividers just don’t turn easily for me and when I took them out it was much better. Do you find the same thing happens with yours? If so, have you done anything to make it better? I’m bummed because I want to use the CEO dividers too!!!

[@normamoncayo4436]

what do you think about TUL disc?

[@JuliesPlans]

I haven't tried them but I have only heard great things!

[@normamoncayo4436]

@@JuliesPlans Do you know if I can mix the TUL with the ones you recommend? thanks for your answer
