Some of the things I struggled with most in bound planners were not being able to move pages as things changed, and not knowing how many pages to leave for a list or project. And one of the reasons the rings have worked well is I'm able to create my own inserts. I'm able to print them and change them every week if I need to.
I started just creating them for myself, but I see a lot of value in sharing them with all of you. I'm very proud of how they turned out. They have been a great addition to my MeePlus binder system that I can create and redo and make my own. MeePlus did send the binder to me for review.
They're now in the Planning Engineered store, undated, in six sizes (A5, A6, B6, Personal, Pocket, and Half Letter), from $0.99.
Where they started
What inspired me to start creating my own inserts was actually the monthly insert from MeePlus. It is the whole calendar in one piece of paper, which is fantastic. I'm able to open it up the whole way and I can see almost a year at a glance with a lot of space to write. That mechanism is what inspired me to create a weekly vertical that folds out, and I've been enjoying it a lot. I am so excited to have this weekly vertical in the MeePlus binder, a week in such a small space and so usable.
The Filler Pack of dot, grid, and lined pages is free in every size. That one is up on the site for you to see how it works and maybe even test out a few prints.
How I print them
Once you get used to printing your own paper or just buying your own paper and printing your layout, it is pretty easy. And I've been using the Bira Craft 6-hole punch. It works great.
So if you have something in mind that you don't see in the store yet, let me know. I can help move those along a little faster.
The Shelf
The Shelf on the website keeps the pens, notebooks, covers, and inks worth knowing about on one page, and anything a brand sent me is labeled as gifted.
