DIY Planner: Binder?
rossination | Jul 18 2006
Hi All - first time poster, long-time lurker. I've decided to make myself a D*I*Y Planner, availing myself of the new laser printer/copier here at work. I'm having a hell of time finding a good container [binder] to keep it in, though. Here's what I'm looking for: > 5.5" x 8.5" (half-sheet) I'm not really asking for much. I realize that I'd probably have better luck waiting for another few weeks for the new school year sales, but I'd love to find something now if possible. I have Target, Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, etc. at my disposal (Seattle area). Thanks in advance - Daniel P.S. Any other DIY planner advice (what to print, what not to print, what kind of paper, etc) is appreciated. 7 Comments

 Levenger Circa for DIY Planner?Submitted by Paul on July 19, 2006 - 11:31am.
I wonder if the Levenger Circa notebooks would work well as a DIYPlanner platform. From Emory's photos (thanks for the great reviews, Emory!), the Junior size looks maybe a little bigger than you're shooting for, but the Circa / Rollabind system would be pretty cool in DIYP mode, I think. These are not cheap, but they're really nice products. I would think you'd be pretty impressive walking into a meeting with one of these loaded with DIY templates... As for which templates to use, it's really dependent on what you want to do with it. I use the Hipster PDA edition, and I mainly use the Actions cards, a few Waiting For's, & I'm starting to get into using the Projects cards. The Agendas are super-handy for someone forgetful like me who wants to avoid calling the same person back 3 times in a row. I also like printing the Notes or the untitled portrait-ruled cards, but I'd imagine that doing this on my inkjet at home is pricier than buying Levenger's preprinted cards... » POSTED IN:
