Crystal, I love your videos, yet somehow missed this one until after it had been up 6 months. So excited to see your A5 discbound system! This is the format I use for my work planner - such a great size for reducing copies of documents that I need to reference. I love your setup! This year, I moved to rings for my personal planning (although I cut the insert holes so that I can add/remove them like discbound without opening the rings in most circumstances). Yay for being able to play with different planners! 🎉
I am in a half letter discbound and I love it too :) something about the size and being able to turn it on itself is so functional ! Excited youre trying it out.
Loooove how you try so many sizes and don't feel overwelmed. I feel only a strong planner person can achieve such peace and zen state ahah Keep them coming!! 🤎
Love when people make passive aggressive comments about my life lol like I know I need to prioritize my life better, I don’t need u to tell me. Love the video and self care is important for regenerating energy to do tasks anyways, and if your self care is planning and making videos then who cares what those people think anyways
This is a nice set up! I love aluminum discs! You have to match the punch to the discs bc the mushroom shape is different between punches. The Happy Planner discs themselves are thinner than others so the punched shape of the “stem” is skinnier and tall. Matching the HP punch with HP discs (plastic or aluminum) will make the pages turn better. Using the HP punch with thicker discs makes the paper drag. I’m a big fan of the Levenger punch bc it’s the most roomy mushroom shape so it works well with most discs. It’s pricey but goes on sale and since I DIY my set ups it was worth it. It’s heavy duty and punches through a lot. Mine is still going strong after 8+ years. I didn’t care for Arc. The stem is too short and pages were annoying to turn w/ any discs. Levenger has fun colors of aluminum discs, not as bright as HP colors but still nice. Again, pricey but worth it and they run sales from time to time. There are some good videos comparing the punch shapes.
absolutely!! I know it can be so challenging sometimes to find stuff in Canada right! I use the happy planner punch i got from michaels! the full size one! I previously used the arc one from staples but found it very bulky and the mushroom punches didn't turn as smoothly as the happy planner one :) here is the link to the one i bought! canada.michaels.com/en/the-happy-planner-big-paper-punch/10687745.html
@@crystalplanss Thanks. I was a bit iffy about the happy planner punch working for an half letter. I was looking at the ARC and Levenger in the US, and i was a bit confused about which one to use if im a beginner. Ill take a look at the happy planner punches for sure.Thank you for sharing and i love your vids for inspo.

Playing around with planners is 100% self care! 🙌🏻 Don't let anyone else's opinions get in the way! ❤

I love the ease of your video! Definitely self care ❤. Can u give me the link for Planner Ready? I don’t think I am going to the correct site
I have a half letter I created for my work planner. I really do love the size. I hope you enjoy it as well.
Can i ask what punch do you use for the discbound inserts? Im in Ontario and Ive trying to find something within Canada....just curious?
