So, I've tried a number of different planning systems in an effort to help me increase my productivity and meet my goals. I used to use a writing folder system. But now, I've repurposed a small (mini) 5.5"x8.5" binder to create my new planning binder. Here's a quick tour, as well as some tips on how I hacked my own inserts and tabbed dividers.

🌟 Oxford Plastic Tabbed Dividers (3 sets of 8):

🌟 I couldn’t find my exact 5.5”x 8.5” binder online. But here are a few other (gorgeous!) suggestions in the same size:

🌟 Mini Sheet Protectors:

🌟 This is a Swingline heavy-duty hole punch very similar to the Acco punch I use. It’s (very!) pricey. But I’m including a link so that you can see what to look for. You want to find a heavy-duty punch that features punchers that can actually be moved and shifted around to punch smaller 5.5”x8.5” sheets accurately to fit the holes on a smaller, mini binder:
