YESSSS this is my current experiment planner . . . mid-year crisis?
I discuss my prior hesitancy to try binder or disc-bound systems, and why I am really enjoying delving into this one!
Products mentioned – all Inkwell Press. I am not affiliated with the company and bought these myself. I do have a referral/coupon code here –> this should provide $10 off any order of $50 or more; I will receive a small credit with each order.
Pictures, as promised!
Weekly:
Love this highly functional and roomy weekly spread. The only thing I would change if I could would to be to include an actual timeline . . . it would mean shrinking the top box I am sure, but I do miss seeing my time laid out ‘to scale’ a little bit.

I used Inkwell planners for years, LOVED them, but the switch to disc-bound was a *killer* for me. I hate disc-bound. So clunky.
lol, I get it. It’s so versatile and the paper is so great but it’s not a small item!
I tried a Happy Planner discbound and found there was a creaky noise when I turned the pages. They also didn’t turn very smoothly. The planner also made a screechy noise when I pushed the planner aside on my desk. Needless to say, I immediately passed it on. Does the Inkwell Press and other higher quality discounts have similar issues?
Yay! I’ve gone in and out of these. They make for great versatility in BuJo use if you like to be able to add/move pages. Currently I use it for reading journal because I have found accommodating Etsy discbound pages and cover makers! They’re on eBay, too, making cool covers and accessories. I am most familiar with Levenger’s system and lately have relied on the aforesaid makers and Staples’ ARC disc system. Today I noticed in Staples that Martha Stewart has a thorough, really lovely (more pricey) discbound system! Thank you for all this! I didn’t know all these names made discbound systems!!
so interested in these now! but what do you think about portability? I’ve been using hemlock&oak but but linen cover is wearing out and I’m itching to try something new. I do carry my planner in my backpack daily so I’m just a little concerned if these discs are prone to falling out. (my exposure to these disc notebooks are limited to your post and youtubes!)
I haven’t had them fall out. To me the less portable aspect is just the size – they are not super streamlined or light. But I haven’t had any issues shoving it into backpack or work bag and everything falling out..
My problem with discbound is that the paper slots fray if you move them too many times.
Someone already mentioned it, but Levenger has had various discbound products for years. Maybe Inkwell does as well, but Levenger sells a paper punch so you can add your own papers/documents – that customizing makes their system more intriguing to me.
