To add pages all you have to do is place the page where you want it and gently press the tabs between the metal discs.ĭiscbound notebooks come with lined paper, but since I desired to add my own printables to my notebook I purchased a special hole puncher designed for discbound notebooks.
The pages are punched with holes that allow you to add, remove and move around the pages as you like. You can customize your notebook easily thanks to the uniqueness of the discbound system.
Unlike a traditional 3-ring binder, a discbound notebook lays flat when closed and the cover can be turned behind itself like a spiral bound notebook. What’s special about the discbound system? My large binder holds 8.5 x 11 inch paper, and my small binder holds 5.5 x 8.5 inch paper. Typically there are two sizes, both large and small. There are a variety of styles to choose from including textured, leather and poly covers. You can expand your notebook from 1/2 inch to up to 1 1/2 inch depending on your needs. There are several different sizes of discs so you can create a customized notebook in the size you want.

Instead of using rings like a traditional 3-ring binder, it uses a series of discs to keep the pages bound together. If you’re not familiar with the discbound system, let me share a few details with you about it. Yes, I love using the discbound system to stay organized and I can’t wait to share with you why! What is the discbound system? A few years ago I discovered the discbound system and it changed my world. 🙂 Either way, I’m always on the lookout for something new when it comes to office supplies. Some may say it’s an addiction, but since these items are useful and help me with productivity, I don’t think this addiction is a bad thing. Notebooks, pens, planners, sticky notes, notepads, I kind of collect these items. (Which can be important if you want your dot grid to be exactly 5 mm.) And I can save my pages to PDF, print them out centered on a letter-sized sheet, and they'll be the same, regardless of where I print them - so I can get them printed out on extremely heavy paper, all kinds of specialty paper, whatever - I get exactly what I designed.I admit I’m a real office supply junkie. (I started using a desktop publishing program to design my pages, so I can make these adjustments.)Īnd now my pages print out at the exact size I want. All margins are zero except for the interior margins, which is 3/4". I cut down the middle, punch the holes, and it fits - but it's a lot of planning to get there.įacing pages of 5 1/4" wide by 8" tall. The interior margin has to be laid out in the software, and since I need 3/4" for the discbound punch, that's 1 1/2" in the middle of blank space. The left margin of the left page and the right margin of the right page are provided by the printer. So to make my pages fit exactly, I need the top and bottom margins of 1/4" each to be provided by the printer, not the software, so my page size is 8" tall.

I print them out on full letter sized pages and then cut them in half. So, set up your page accordingly: I have a half-letter sized planner.

When you print a page, the printer will adjust the data to fit within its margin requirements - so if you have a printer that requires 1/4" margins, and your software says, "I'm leaving 1/4" margins in this document," you could end up with anything between 3/4" and 1" margins! The first thing you must deal with for designing your pages is the page size - and there's a wrinkle that I didn't see until lately. Not sure if I have the right layout on that yet. Also just fired up a workout tracker combining walking and workouts. Might throw in a monthly tracker with totals somewhere. I'm also working on a calorie tracker, using a collection at the back for common foods.
I'm trying out Ryder's ' Long-Form Journaling' idea right now. Also, since retiring I no longer need weekly or monthly logs. To solve some of the previous problems, I have been experimenting with keeping collections in the back.
So I ended up going back to my plain, flat notebook. It was hard to keep it with me and a PITA to use.

Plus I ended up putting some ziploc bags in there w/ misc. It was uncomfortable and caused a subconscious resistance. No matter how I laid it, my right hand/wrist had to rest *on* the discs to write, *or* off the right edge, which was too far off the desk. But eventually I realized that I *hated* writing in it. I did it for all the reasons stated in these comments. I used to use a discbound, back when I was still working.
