I agree with you that digital calendars do not work very well. I would not say you're old school at all. I'd say, you use what works for you. And, I really love the discbound system. Although I do not use a planner, I do use notebooks. I have both the TUL and the ARC notebooks and I like different components of each and put them together in my own way. One thing I have to note is that neither system seems to have useful folders. I invented my own folders by modifying Arc sheet protectors.
This is a really good review of the TUL organizer, thank you for sharing your experience. I can see myself easily getting out of sync with Outlook/Onenote. I am considering how effective the system would be for studying. I use the Cornel Notetaking system. From the review, I think this system will work better than standard notebooks. I do believe the real winner here is TUL for the high profit margin on the $40 hole punch and the fill pages reek of printer ink pricing models.
Purchased the TUL Junior about a month ago and I'm wondering what took me so long to get this half-letter size planner. It is AWESOME!! Much easier to take with me than my Happy Planner. So now I'm setting this up as my on the go planner and will leave the HP for home use! Honestly, I only wish that it had a matching elastic strap closure around it but that's not an issue because I've already put a planner band on mine to close it. Great DISC system and I love the limited color options! Thank you Office Depot for providing quality products!!!!
Thank you for sharing this video. After finishing my military service and working through Grad school, I am ready to start my business. I love planners and I find it keeps me grounded and give me the ability to be accountable to myself. I love it!
I liked the presentation. I am a Day-Timer user but I will keep this TUL organizer in mind for future. I thought the presentation and review were very well done and informative.
I tried digital, but find I keep going back to paper calendar/planning. The disc bound is great for re-arranging and adding pages as needed. I use both dot grid and square grid paper in 5x8 size and make my own calendar/tracking system and tabs. I add work related policy & procedure copies as reference. I like sticky notes in my planner. I haven't been able to make digital work a well... and don't have to remember to charge my paper book.
Aside from the recharging an electronic device, what issues are problems for you with digital systems? I’m developing an iOS/iPadOS/MacOS planner and doing research to see what causes others problems: what I see available now doesn’t work in my particular role where a daily plan doesn’t survive first contact with reality, and interruptions stack on top of each other with switching between tasks as normal.
Love this video and this channel! You’re making me want to buy a ReMarkable! Question - how do you record forward tasks (ticklers)? So lets say you need to call someone in 3 months time, where would that reminder go?
I used to be a daytimer user then tried Levenger (disk) then many of other companies started to copy Levenger disk formats. Wasn't much of a fan as pages fall out just buy turning the pages. Now I still use the Levenger briefcase (small pocket to carry index cards) just to jot notes and move them to my midori diary (yes I like the old fashioned writing on paper). Sometimes I just take a photo of my index cards and keep them in a folder on cellphone. I did buy the remarkable 2 just from your reviews. Hopefully that will ease me into carrying less paper around.
Great review. Have you seen the latest version with the wireless charger built into the cover of the notebook? I ordered one yesterday, but have not received it yet.
I love fountain pens and paper. I still find it hard to move completely from paper to ones and zeros. I love an app called Obsidian, but I still carry a nice leather planner.
Have seen your Remarkable videos (which are also very good) and wondering if you still use the rMk along with these notebooks. Thanks for the info, good video as usual o7
Yes we use both. Greg uses the remarkable and Tul, Neil uses Tul for notes with clients, schedule etc. Greg's Remarkable 2 just shipped and should be arriving soon
Brands that are compatible with Tūl are Arc (by Staples) and Circa (by Levenger). Levenger is the highest quality. Tons of compatible accessories and covers.
To my eye, the disc system requires more a la carte purchases in the way of covers, discs, and fill paper and or the hole punch (a punch which only appears to work with the disc system). Apart from the aesthetic and coporate gravitas of such a system, what would you say are the improvements over a standard 3 hole approach?
I’m a pen and paper planner. My husband bought me the iPad Pro with the pen so I can keep notes, calendars, planning digital and I just can’t do it. I love writing
Can you share your notes with a colleague in London at the click of a button? Can your overseas colleagues collaborate on your notes simultaneously? If you leave your Tul on a train, can you remotely lock it so that others can't see your notes? Can you search through your notes for a particular word / phrase? Or am I missing the point?
All valid points. Annoying bud valid. Privacy on paper it is as good as you will keep possession of it. If you are not capable of securing your physical planner than no other method will be good enough. There are many what if, but one thing it is certain… at first all projects were written down. Honesty your questions are about Disaster recovery, real time collaboration, and security. I do not think this is the right post for you. This is for people that want to get more efficient at organizing, and away from regular binders. One question for you. Can you access your notes if you are out of electricity? We kind of taking this for granted. P.S. Yes I can share my notes with my colleagues overseas with click of a button. I can use Lens, take pictures or scan it, and email it to them.
@@lex7062 Hm... The electricity point is a good one... Plus I'm less likely to review electronic notes once they're written. I say this because I have about 200 physical journals and I'm constantly swaying from electronic to manual... So maybe the answer is Do it Both Ways (Journals for personal stuff and Electronic for work).
@@ironscalp2241 this is precisely how I am using this system. I was trying to get away from regular binders. Now I use the 1’ for planner, and 1’1/2 for the binder. This helps me plan and focus on the immediate projects. Time will tell if this system is better than regular binders.
@Matterhorn Business Development What is the digitized remarkable product (the black medium sized product)?? How does it allow you to send paper files via email? Does it allow you to take photos?
@@MatterhornBusinessDevelopment could you do a day in the life type of video, what instances are you reaching for your planner over your phone or remarkable? what keeps you going back to your planner for prepping instead of just keeping it in your head and what do you do with your ideas, do you put that in your planner, is that specifically what your remarkable is for or do you have a hybrid system?
@@MatterhornBusinessDevelopment no rush though. I'm loving all of the content your putting out. I own a photobooth company and there's definitely value for me in your content.

Have been using a TUL system for 3 months....love it. Life changing. Never been so organized.
Nice!!

Great review, finally I understand how it all works. Thank you very much.
Amazing I have been searching for days how to get organized. Thank you. 🌹

Thanks for the video. Good review. My house is a graveyard of used and discarded notebooks. This may be the answer. Thanks again!

Question - how do you record forward tasks (ticklers)? So lets say you need to call someone in 3 months time, where would that reminder go?
That would go in his calendar in his Tul notebook.
I love TUL notebook hope they do not discontinue it😊
Excellent guide to using the TUL binder.
Thanks!
Hey, Thanks for this. You and your team are awesome.
Do you have an example of your filing system?

I did see that recently. Really cool! Let us know how you like it!
Very helpful review, thank you!
For some reason I really found this useful
I love fountain pens and paper. I still find it hard to move completely from paper to ones and zeros. I love an app called Obsidian, but I still carry a nice leather planner.

Will the Happy Planner system be compatible with Tul?

We are doing a Tul Notebook giveaway this week. We have a video up on it, be sure to register!
Great video. Do you use this for team projects as well? Projects that have steps that require delegation.
Here at Matterhorn we use Asana.com for group projects and delegation. It’s digital so it is easy to assign tasks to others with a due date.
I decided to buy the Tul notebook with the hole puncher as I start doctorate school. I grabbed a remarkable but mine broke :(

Do you still work from 2 notebooks or just the big one now?
I think Greg mostly uses the small one and has now replaced the big one with a ReMarkable.
We need more planner videos
What would you like to see in more planner videos?
