Hi everyone!
In this video I compare the new Tonya Plans Genia Compact binder to the Franklin Covey Vintage Aurora Compact, and after being in the Genia binder for over one week I share my honest review of it.
Here's the link for the Tonya Plans binder:
*note, it is now listed at $188 CAD since I filmed this video

Oh-my-goodness!! Please, tell me what pen that is. Do you have a link, pretty please? 🙏🏼 What a gorgeous rose-gold pen ❤
It's from a company called Stilform. This is the one I have: stilform.com/collections/stilform-ink/products/fountain-pen-aluminium?variant=32712394571822&_gl=1*1rp0lb2*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAiAjp-7BhBZEiwAmh9rBbO68MfCpMnFzLOJQYVmilFgT1f8qhO0HZ-jwDjD-gNuCAdXmTlOzBoCWtEQAvD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAABRx75ESWPrntok2CocU8IPOMc1iR
I wish Franklin planner sold personal wide inserts. Love your review :)
Me too! But then they’d need to offer a PW binder.
Thanks for a very thorough review. This was great! I have the blue binder and it works really well for me. I don’t stuff my binders so it’s comfortable for my inserts. My one gripe is that the leather is really thin. I’m getting used to it but I love a good leather with some weight and I was really surprised how thin the leather is. But I love everything else about it and excited to see what Tonya does next.
Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful. I know what you mean about the leather. It’s so squishy, maybe that’s why it has to be thinner…? It is gorgeous though!
Possible flip through of this beautiful blue binder along with any updated changes you made from the pink binder?
I actually moved into my pink one last night 🫣 Next time I’m in the blue one I will!
Noooo, why??? It looked fabulous how you got it! I’m watching it now
@@christinamosier I know. It’s so pretty!! The rings were too small and I wasn’t enjoying it fully.
Awe, that’s too bad. I bet you’ll like it more in the fall season.
Oh, you could change the rings out for a bigger size. I’ve seen other planner people do that and seemed really simple to do
You can keep those screws with the posts in the Tonya Plans binder and just use the FC rings, you don't have to use the FC screws. Same with Moterms. Always keep the screws with the posts so that you don't strip the posts. I have a my 1.5"+ (40mm) rings in my PW Moterm and use it with FCC inserts and you can fit the kitchen sink in there! lol
I love that the Vintage Auroras and Tonya Plans binders fit the PW as that is what I am currently using. I am also loving your junk journalesque setup and am slowly working on mine. I'm back in my plum Aurora for Fall.
Yes totally right about the screws! I’ve thought of using the FCC rings, just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I’m glad to hear you’re trying the junk journal vibe!
Tracy, do you have a planner Instagram account, please? I would love to see it.
Very interesting about opening and closing the rings. I need to use the jiggers on the ends more.
Jiggers! Great word!
I am amazed with how beautiful your set up looks! I'm in love with the Genia Binder, too bad Tonya doesn't work with A6 size yet. Did you tried to change the rings and put the Franklin cover ones in it? I keep on asking myself if this would be possible and if it is, would it work better... Anyways, thank you for the review ❤
Thank you so much! It took me quite a while to get to this point. I’m sure Tonya will add to her options as the demand is there. I haven’t tried different rings yet.
Order the 1.5" rings from Tonya. I put it in my Moterm and works awesome!
1.5 would be way too big for the compact size. The strap for sure wont close. I thought of bigger rings.
The FC rings will also fit in your binder so you can get the gold one.
@@derekh3978 I will try them at some point!
Where do you guys buy these gorgeous (vintage) Aurora Franklin Covey Conpact Planner? 😢 It's SUCH a beautiful planner 🩷 And your setups are AMAZING! LOVE THEM! 🩷🩷🩷
The vintage Aurora binders are from Franklin planner. They only release them every 4-5 years so you gotta jump on them. You might be able to find one on a buy and sell group. They are lovely binders.
Thank you for watching!!
Great evaluation!. I think that it is important to say upfront that your inserts are personal wide. This binder was made for personal and compact inserts but you are using personal wide inserts.
Thanks for watching! Yes I know it’s the compact size which is meant for the Franklin Covey compact size. This only affects the width though. I would still need the rings to be a bit bigger even if I were using FCC or personal size.
Cornflower blue?
Could be!
Have you contacted Tonya and let her know the rings are off? I dont see why she wouldn't offer a fix or replacement. This might have been a bad set that missd inspection. I picked up the Genia binder about the same time as you did. My rings align and are strong. You are opening the binder correctly. To close them, press the bottom ring and top ring together, not just one end, or you can warp the rings. Yes, the binder is too full, that will stress the rings.
My preferred binder stye is open binder. Not zip, not snap. This one is close enough to an open binder such that I could cut off the strap and use the slide on the front for a decor clip or something. A lot of the leather binders from companies in years gone by were also thinner; folks aren't used to that. Doesn't bother me.
Good point! I didn’t contact her about the rings. I just might!
I have to close them with my fingers on the top and bottom due to how full it is 😜 Perhaps one day I’ll be able to downsize!
You need to separate your planner work and personal I’ve done that and it actually works
I’ve tried. I’m a one planner girl! I do have my wellness in a separate planner though.
