I love the way you made this work! I, like you, also love disc- bound planning but adore erin condren planners. I may have to do some experimenting , too! Thanks for sharing. 😊
Haha I love this! My first time using the EC Daily Duo (A5) when it first came out. It was in a coil and I am just not happy with coil planners. I actually uncoiled it and put washi on both sides to cover the coiled part and hole punched it to fit an agenda. That is when I knew I loved the flexibility of the rings. Tried the Hobo in January and can't wait to get back into the agenda. It truly is my planner peace. I actually trim the coiled part on EC covers and then hole punch them for the agenda and I love that I can still get my covers and a page lifter. I actually liked the washi because it added support to the pages as you'll the pages off and put them back in. Now that they have the agenda, I am happy because Black Mountain Plans actually came out with hole reinforcers in her shop and super happy now! Super fun to watch!
Thank you! I've debated about the agenda, but I love my 7x9 size. That's not to say I won't try it at some point, but we'll see. I am loving this change though... it's perfect for me. 🤗💖 Thanks so much for watching, Alexandria!!
@@midwestcraftchat I tried the 7X9 when it first came out also, but I felt there was so much empty space and not as compact for travel. Oh yea I love that you can now choose what you want in your planner and not have it get bulky as months go by. Looking forward to more videos! Super glad I found your channel. :)
@@midwestcraftchat You posted this months ago about the agenda, so you may have figured this out by now, but EC has agenda pages in 7x9 also (just the 6 holes) and it's unbound (the ring binder to store it in is sold separately). May make it easier for you to cover the spine and punch without needing to uncoil.
@@suzettesmith2075 I tried A5, and couldn't do it. Plus, I'm not a fan of the ring notebook/binder. This was my only viable option. Jen from Goaled Nutrition did this with a softbound EC... so that's a thought. 🤗💖 Thanks so much for watching!!
Hello! I have an older video called putting Erin Condren on Discs. You can find it in my Everything Erin Condren playlist. I put A5 EC inserts and pages from a softbound on discs for my half-letter. Love this idea here! I'm not currently in a lifeplanner but I love the academic planner for my content planning. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, awesome! I will check it out. I'm thinking I'll do this with my vertical when it arrives, too. I just can't part with my discs... and I prefer the EC layouts and quality. 🤗💖 Thank you so much for watching and for commenting!!
@@midwestcraftchat yes I've been a discbound girl for a long time. I recently tried frankenplanning a coil. It was fun but much harder than with discs.
@@goalednutrition ... exactly. Way too complicated for me. I'm going to try covering the holes next time instead of cutting them off. We'll see which way works better. BTW, watching your video right now! 🤗💖
I know I've seen 1 or 2 videos a long time ago though here on TH-cam , what I remember is that they uncoiled their ECLP and where the holes are on the page they didn't cut that portion off so that the new punch marks wouldn't cut into the design like you are showing. so what they did was cut strips of card stock paper a little less than a half inch you'll need to measure the EC margins but im sure its almost a half in. so they then used like double sided tape and laid the card stock to cover the holes and re punch for disc and it looked good and worked perfectly .
I have plain white sticker paper that I'm thinking I'll use. Thank you for commenting... I appreciate your suggestion. 🤗💖 And thank you so much for watching!!

I wish that EC would sell an unpunched version. I would put mine in a ring binder.
Yes!! I would just disc punch mine. I couldn't agree more. Maybe we should suggest that to EC... they seem to listen. 🤗💖 Thanks so much for watching!!
We've been asking for this for years in the HP groups.
@@JazzyPatt ... is there a place on the EC website to make suggestions? I haven't looked yet...

@@tynacompton5154 my pleasure! I'm soooooo happy with this setup. Hope it helps. 🤗💖 Thanks so much!!
The best of both worlds! Such a great idea. Love it!
I'm so, so excited and happy with my planner! It totally renewed my love of planning. 🤗💖 Thanks so much, Robin!!

Oh, this is so cool! Love this idea and also the discs and cover you chose 🙌
Thank you! I'm am absolutely loving how this came out. It's exactly what I needed. 🤗💖 Thank you so much for watching!!
I wish I would had thought of this. Im using the A5 binder for my daily duo. It does work, but I think the bigger size would have been better

Where did you get the ring binder?
@@mechejenkins9020 it's actually a Kell of a Plan cover... with Happy Planner discs. 🤗💖 Thanks so much for watching!!
Wouldn't it be great if they sold them unpunched off a coil.
YES. I wish they would offer that as an option. 🤗💖 Thanks for watching!!
