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 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.

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.

Personal rings is a classic ✨ TFS 🤗

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 🤞🏾

So much of it is trial and error. As much as I love having public transportation, sometimes I'm a little jealous of the folks who can just dump everything in their car!

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!!!)

Leather cover planners bring joy ❤❤❤❤

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 😊

@@NawshinAtHome it is but I love it, esp my WFH days so wouldn't give it up for the world. Just need to find the best way to navigate the organization.

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

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!

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

Hi, yes I did see the blank cream paper being sold on UK sites. Not so much in the US!

Very nice setup! ❤

Thank you!

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.

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.

Thanks for the tip!

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

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

Ew subbie here. Can’t wait to see more.

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

I'm not a lefty and I hate rings as well. No matter what hand you write with, there's always one side where the rings will get in the way. Unless you're like ambidextrous lol

LOVE this!! Was hoping you might also share the name/brand of the pretty pen case on the top left of your desk too? 🙏🏻

@NawshinAtHome

Of course! It's the Galen Leather zippered 10 slot pen case in undyed leather.

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.

What ring binder does to me most as an ADHD is: - changeability. My ideas chance. I get new ideas and discard old ones. It's easy to change, no need to think about how much space I need, and I can switch the orders however I like - stability (?), meaning that changing a planner always gives me anxiety. During the year I have finally gottennmy routines etc right, then change the planner and it all goes to waste. You could say "just copy to the new one", but that is exactly the point: it's a copy of the original one. It doesn't have the same feeling = does not work the same = I loose the routine again. With the ring binder, I keep the same decorations, it looks safe and kind and mine for years and years ❤ - I can do my own inserts easily, and make them look exactly as I need them to 😁 I have a A5 planner, so the cutting is very simple and easy with a cutter. If it is not present, I can just fold the paper in half and put it in cut when I can (if I want). - I can choose what kind of paper I use. Tomoe river is the best of the bestest! And about storage: I print and laminate a cover and back page, then just tie the papers together with a pretty yarn so that I get planner-like storage for it 😊 What I love about the planner community, is that everyone can get exactly the kind of planner they want, and that is perfectly the way it should be ❤
