I see all of these rings in the planner community, but I can't deal with misaligned/gaps rings, lookup for inserts or DYI design, print and cut, plus witting on it... too much friction for me to use, oh and the archival system, I just much rather a plain book, I don't need all of this to have something functional.

I've always been a one-planner person. I use a desk-size Day-timer with printables from an etsy shop no longer in business. I don't need to carry it with me a lot so it works and half-sheets are easier for me to cut down to fit. I like the Franklin Covey planning statement of "One Life, One Planner". It's also a lot less expensive than having to buy and curate multiple planners.

I am Happy you have found something that feets your needs. I relate a lot because I take the train to go to work and I work in different places. In january I set up a discbound half letter planner with sections for weekly plans, notes pages for 1:1, meetings, training notes. I found that I took sooooo much meeting notes that it was overwhelming to mee and the planner was too big to carry. So in february I tried personal size ring planner (did not work), then a b6 size stalogy combined with a b6 jibun techo weeks (didn’t work) and now I decided to go with a bullet journal for work in an a5 size rhodia dotgrid paper 🤞🏾

This was very helpful. I also have a personal Filofax. I’m hoping you’ll do more videos on this planner as you begin to use/decorate it.

This set up is lovely and the dailies are lovely. 4 years into hybrid working and still trying to find the ideal home to office set up. Imlook forward to seeing how you get on 😊

I suggest you make an index for your meeting notes but that would mean you have to put page numbers but it can be beneficial esp for archiving

Going hybrid forced me to rethink my planner system also. 😢

Leather cover planners bring joy ❤❤❤❤

The cognac is gorgeous ❤ another planner, I think she’s called Planner Coven uses RayMay DaVinci meeting notes for both dailies and meetings notes, if you want thin, cream preprinted inserts. I think she got them from Jet Pens, but I could be wrong.

This is a very nice planner!! I have never used the ring system for more than 2 weeks I think before I get tired of it! But I do set up a ring planner occasionally just to spice things up!

I think the Filofax inserts are underrated. I have been using them since the 80s. I have tried other things but I always go back to them.

Personal rings is a classic ✨ TFS 🤗

Very nice set up! Beautiful brown planner and very nice insert system. Subscribed so I can see how you use it. Looking forward to future planning video! (Very curious to see the brown ink on the cream paper!!!)

Very nice setup! ❤

Love your video. Your setup is very simple and practical, and the planner itself is beautiful! I've landed on Hobo Weeks as my main planner personally, but I love rings so much - I keep them around for other purposes, like "home organiser," "personal projects," an address book, and so on. By the way, you can definitely get that Filofax blank paper as its own little paper pack, at least here in the UK - I'd be amazed (and cross on your behalf) if you can't find any

Thank you so much Nawshin for sharing your set up❤. I am a personal ring lover too and can totally relate to the hybrid feeling of work and home. I started my own business last July. So I need to have it with me all the time.

I have been interested in the Hobonichi weeks for a while so I appreciated the flip through of what was in the Hobonichi.

Hi. A similar evolution for me from a ring-based planning system -> one notebook -> various notebooks -> return to ring-based planner.

I love this

As a lefty, ring planners are no longer my friend 😂😂. I do like this set up. Its similar to how i work as well
