I currently use my HL discs as a financial planner and an EC Focus planner for my everyday planner. Seriously thinking about switching fully to HL discs for 2023.
Great video! I have been using half letter discs since December and I like the system. I’m still playing around with the best format to get me to use it more daily so have bought a few different layouts (I work in a crazy fast paced pr agency environment so it’s hard to plan ahead / prioritize when everything is “must do now” or getting shifted at all times, and I end up not staying consistent except with notes section and weekly/monthly overviews.
Yes I am using HL (TUL) system since I couldn’t find what inserts I like from a variety of different companies. But, for 2024 I will for sure do my shopping now so items aren’t sold out.
Hi Julie - I absolutely LOVE this video! I especially enjoy seeing how you fully utilize your planner. You have inspired me to take full advantage of my planner by jotting down goals, travel, remodeling ideas, etc. Thank you for this! 😊
Totally makes sense and that's the only reason I continue to offer A5. I'm hoping to switch all the US users to HL, haha, but I understand that internationals work better with A5.
I ALWAYS love your videos, Julie. You and The Planner Spot each have such a unique style and beautifully efficient system. It's so inspiring for my own planning. 🤩
I love my half letter for the same reasons. I also bought the Levenger punch because of the bigger “mushroom” punch. I got the heavy one and it cuts a big stack of papers like butter! Love the video! Thank you for sharing.
You're officially on the list for my 2023 inserts. I have always enjoyed how clean your pages look. Maybe I will adopt the color coding system. Your consistency is GOALS!
Yes, I love the Levenger punch as well -- definitely worth it! I have been in HL discs for over a year; switched over from HP classic size and it's much easier to transport!
Really late to game to see this. But I’d like you to know that this makes SO MUCH sense to me. I am absolutely NOT a person who loves to buy inserts. I diy them ALOT. I have a small tn for a certain task but I’ve been looking for a separate one for my own personal stuffs now that I’m an analog person. Lord this sooo makes sense. I hate sizing, resizing, wasting, n throwing away paper I didn’t get right. Thank you SSSOOO much for sharing, many blessings to u from a new subscriber
JULIE!! I love this!! You have my most favorite HL setup ever 😍 I love what you said at the beginnning tho. I need that quote about staying in my own lane.
Katie, you are just the sweetest. Thank you for being so encouraging. I do love that sticker! She used to have a journaling card with the quote, too. Such a good reminder! 🤍
Thank you!! It’s the funniest feeling… once I start sharing more often I think I’m fine but when I first start up again it can feel pretty vulnerable. 😅
I love this video. This is exactly what I need for planner peace. I have ADD and I need minimal and functional otherwise I get way too overwhelmed. I like to add a pop of color with functional shape/word/icon stickers. The goal inserts are so great and I think I need to add them to my regular inserts.
I thought I left a comment…but I didn’t! I loved this video, I know I will come back to it for my setup. Even though I’m using personal rings, your thought process is similar, your inserts would work perfectly in my planner! You are fabulous inspiration! I love how your personality comes through in your videos, love watching them!!
Thanks so much for your functional planning videos packed with helpful tips! I’ve been following since the Hobonichi Cousin and funny enough I am now also in a HL discs!
Love the inserts you created!!! You make half letter seem so appealing! Your video has really reminded me how important it is to have a section in my planner with goals! I plan to migrate my goals into my planner now 😘😘
Thanks for letting us look through your planner. So much info I’ll definitely watch a second time. I think the Inbox divider has a function, it’s a great space to place a few sticky notes if needed. My husbands routines used to irritate me and I liked to decide on the day what I’d do. As I’ve got older I definitely enjoy my morning routine but evenings are harder as my energy levels drop as does my motivation 😩
I designed them myself! I sell printable inserts in my Etsy shop (plan2create) I think I linked them in the description, but here' a link to Oct-Dec 2022: etsy.me/3coOddv
I’m the type that needs to research and test things to come to a conclusion or I’m like you, “I have my conspiracies theories.” I bought a TUL punch and a leverager (spelling) punch and it turns out the theories were right 😁 The leverager punch has a longer space in between the edge of the paper and the little mushroom, and the mushroom is just a little smaller. So, no need to go down the rabbit hole, you were right 😂
I love this setup. You gave me a couple of new ideas to explore. I love that pen! And the desk agenda doesn’t have a pen loop. Mine has a similar pocket setup in the front, but it’s the older version. I’m going to message you a divider option that might work for you.
Not a dumb question at all! I shared this video of my process. Super easy!!! how to remove rings from Louis Vuitton GM Agenda th-cam.com/video/s1RRuF-31YU/w-d-xo.html
Wish I saw this video before I ordered my desk agenda last week (and got it monogrammed 😅)! I def prefer how the gm agenda look with the pen holder/closure :/
I am so inspired by how you have your planner. Is there a way you can advise on a personal level on how and what to buy? I want the minimalist look. I just have a lot to write on my to do’s etc. I don’t have IG to be able to contact you.
Hello. I REALLY enjoyed your video. Thank you for the links. The leopard dashboard is out of stock in the A5 Unpunched. Do you have unpunched or punched? I'm thinking to get the punched and once I "re-punch" with my half-letter discbound puncher, maybe it will fit? Any suggestions or opinions? Do you think they will ever have the A5 Unpunched again? How are they as a vendor? Also, I love you paper clip with the gray ball on top. Where can I find that? It's so simple and elegant. Thank you again for a great video with wonderful suggestions and inspiration. Oh...I guess you can tell...I'm using Half Letter as my only planner.
Hi Shawn! I think I actually purchased the unpunched A4 size sheet of the leopard acetate, trimmed then punched and it worked perfectly. I have no complaints! The little paper clip with the gray ball on top is from Lucy Plans Life. Here's a link: bit.ly/3iXKiI8
@@plan2create Thank you sooo much! I'm about to click the Lucy Plans Life link. So, just so I'm clear...you purchased the A4 size sheet, trimmed and then you use it in your Half-Letter Discbound Planner? If that's correct, I truly appreciate it...because I'm still kinda new to the "planning community" and I'm not always clear about the sizes that can work-together when it comes to dashboards and inserts. Thanks again.🙂
So one of the tricks I use is that JetPens always lists the compatible refills for their pens. So, I look up my pen body and see what refills will work inside it. There are at least a couple types of the Uni Jetstream refills so it can get confusing. I have a video about my favorite pens and I explain this better. :)
Thank you, everyone for watching and I'd love to know: are you currently using HL discs?

A5 for me but then I’m in the uk 🇬🇧 so just like you I can just cut a full sheet of paper in half with no waste 👍🏻 great setup ❤

Yes, I love the Levenger punch as well -- definitely worth it! I have been in HL discs for over a year; switched over from HP classic size and it's much easier to transport!
Yes! That punch is what committed me to discs.. couldn’t stand them before I tried this because the papers never moved smoothly!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Glad this video resonated with ya! ❤
Love this! Agree about the levenger punch! I have that one and it’s great 🥰
🙌🏻 Levenger punch love! 😂
I love a pretty and functional system!
Thank you, Cynthia! I love function but it’s nothing without a little pop of color here and there. ☺️

Love the flipthrough. I'm one the fence about the LV planner but it's beautiful how you set it up. TFS
Thank you, Michelle! Glad you liked the video!
Love your video and the inserts are beautiful. Once I build my insert printing and cutting skills I'll give these a try.
Thank you so much!! Keep in mind you can always take printables to a printshop and they'll print (and cut) for you!
Enjoyed seeing your setup - thanks for sharing despite feeling exposed !

Great tips! And I love the chit chat ☺️
I try so hard to stay focused but inevitably add WAY more detail/info once I get rolling. That camera does weird things to me. 😂

Thank you, sweet friend! I know you have an amazingly well thought out system so right back at cha!
Beautiful set up. I need that quote in my planner, too. 😉☺️ I use the same Tombow Dual Brush pens to highlight things in my planner sometimes.
Thanks so much for watching. Love that the quote sticker is resonating with a few of us! :)

I have colorful metal disc's from Happy Planner 😊
I didn’t know they had metal ones! 👍🏻
Awesome video. Just subscribed. I’m currently using an A5. After watching your video I think I be checking out the half letter. 😊

We sound very similar, Tracey! (No surprises there). 🤣
I love your set up and especially the fold outs, please share where you found these monthly fold outs?
I designed them myself! I sell printable inserts in my Etsy shop (plan2create) I think I linked them in the description, but here' a link to Oct-Dec 2022: etsy.me/3coOddv
I’ve also heard other people say the same about the levenger punch!
It isn't perfect as a punch, but the specific size of it's little mushrooms is exactly what I need! :)
Love your planner. May I ask what kind of paper you use to print your inserts?
Thank you so much! I use HP 32# paper (purchase here at Amazon) amzn.to/3R7eY6q (affiliate link)
Haven’t even finished the video and already bought C&P tabs, and your new HL printables :)

Is your shop closed? I’d love these inserts!
It is. I closed it the end of January this year. Thanks for reaching out!
@@plan2create Awwww will you reopen or offer printables🩷?
Love the video and your setup. Are your discs really only 1"? they look bigger.
Yes! I mean, I kind of stink at measuring round things, lol, but I double checked and yup! 1 inch!
Hi Julie. Love you videos. Question- is the “stay in your lane” sticker from the planner spot custom? I’m unable to find it

This is a really dumb question but how did you take out the rings?
Not a dumb question at all! I shared this video of my process. Super easy!!!
how to remove rings from Louis Vuitton GM Agenda
th-cam.com/video/s1RRuF-31YU/w-d-xo.html
Wish I saw this video before I ordered my desk agenda last week (and got it monogrammed 😅)! I def prefer how the gm agenda look with the pen holder/closure :/
Is the GM agenda more sturdier than the desk agenda?
I don’t have both so can’t totally compare but I think they’re about the same. The agenda has a pen loop and clasp which I like!
I am so inspired by how you have your planner. Is there a way you can advise on a personal level on how and what to buy? I want the minimalist look. I just have a lot to write on my to do’s etc. I don’t have IG to be able to contact you.
If you wanted, could you put your rings back in your LV planner?
Yes. Easily! It was such a no big deal to remove them.
Hello. I REALLY enjoyed your video. Thank you for the links. The leopard dashboard is out of stock in the A5 Unpunched. Do you have unpunched or punched? I'm thinking to get the punched and once I "re-punch" with my half-letter discbound puncher, maybe it will fit?
Any suggestions or opinions?
Do you think they will ever have the A5 Unpunched again?
How are they as a vendor?
Also, I love you paper clip with the gray ball on top. Where can I find that? It's so simple and elegant.
Thank you again for a great video with wonderful suggestions and inspiration.
Oh...I guess you can tell...I'm using Half Letter as my only planner.

@@shawndavis9221 yes, that is correct.
@@plan2create Thank you. Have a great rest of your Sunday evening and FANTASTIC MONDAY and week. 🙂
@@plan2create And thanks again for responding. I went to order it and the A4 Whole Sheet is "Sold Out"
AUGH!!! 😢😢
Are you using A5 inserts? Just curious if a5 inserts fir nicely into a half letter cover.
I’m using half letter. It’s so close to A5 but so much easier to print/cut/punch then take in and out of my planner!
This is technically an A5 cover and the half letter fits nicely in it!
Is your monthly fold out inserts still available??
Yes! Here’s a link to the half letter: etsy.me/3M45QwZ
How did you get the .38 ink refills to fit in your .28 pen? Thank you
The refills themselves are the same size, it’s just the pen nib that is larger/smaller. 😊
@@plan2create Aw i bought them and they're huge and do not fit. I'll take another look and see if I am missing something lol Thank you :)

I closed my Etsy shop the end of Jan this year. ☺️
