Just decided to combine my love of bullet journaling and disc bound planners so finding this video was a great find!!
I'm so glad you found it!
You just helped me to reduce my anxiety... It’s so much easier for me to organize everything I want inside in my bullet journal. Love your video and ideas :) Thank you!
You're welcome, I'm so glad!
I'm glad I found your channel. I just combined my happy planner with bullet journaling and I love it.
So glad you're here!
Thank you!
Just found your channel and was surprised that it's still quite small. You definitely deserve more views and subs! :) Great Video
Aww. Thank you! I'm sure it's because I haven't put a lot of time into developing this channel. There's so many social media options out there it's hard to prioritize them all.
You'll find me a lot more over on instagram and instagram stories: instagram.com/kalynbrookeco/
I am a bullet journal and disc journal fan! Thank you for the great video and printable s!
You're welcome!
Yes!!!!! This is exactly what I needed. I’m def picking up a junior size discbound. Just need to go pick one thanks!
Yay! I hope you love it!
@@KalynBrookeCo bought my notebook and a few extras. Put it together now to start filling it in!!!
I just found your wonderful blog when I googled fast, effective way to do brain dump. Thank you for excellent content!!!! I just subscribed to both your blog as well as this YT channel. Thank you!
Hi Katie! I'm glad my content is helpful for you! I'm excited to have you as a part of our community 🤗
I just started bullet journaling and I really like this option. I’ll likely try this next!
Yay! Let me know how it goes.
Love this youre so creative 😍😍😍
Thank you! 😊I love the creative element of bullet journaling almost as much as I love the way it organizes my life.
Thank you! Super helpful video! Really leaning towards switching from my 3-ring binder to a diy disc-bound. Seeing multiple benefits to that!! I am also a bullet journaler (my own adapted system of it).
I'm glad you found it helpful! I'm sure you'll love a DIY disc bound 🙂
I appreciate this guide! I just pointed my first bullet journal video - I hope to continue to create organization and bullet journal content :) I am currently using a bound notebook but might look into a discbound system! :)
I love both systems, but disc-bound currently has my heart. Let me know if you try it!
Hello Kaylyn new subscriber! Totally love your journal set up. I like that you are able to pull out or insert sheets. I too suffer from depression and anxiety :-( Thank you for your channel.
I'm so glad you're here! I'm so sorry to hear that you struggle with depression as well, but you aren't alone!
Thank you. I tried to use a combination of bujo and letter sized discbound when I was working. But, I missed the printed pages so I’ll be heading to your library! Now retired, i still like the bujo concept and purchased a junior discbound. Love it. I want to track gardening activities (planting, pruning, fertilizing, pest control, and notes about specific plants). I also want to track exercise without a specific notebook.
Those are great things to track in a bullet journal!! One of my favorite things about the bujo system is how flexible it is!
I found your video very helpful. Personally, even using a planner, doesn't matter which kind, using a bullet journal completes and rounds out everything else. Thank you.
I'm so glad you liked it!
There are libraries that allow out of state access that you can get online. Most charge a fee but averaged annually, it's's pretty affordable. That might be a way to get your Libby access back!
We actually discovered this outside Phoenix! We didn't have to pay a fee, but could only borrow three books at a time (which was fine with me!)
An inspiring, tidy planner!! Thank you!! I went through a fairly similar journey of doing bullet journaling then moving it to discs (first to rings then discs). I'm loving them except to start out on low budget got cheap plastic and thin paper and for unpunched pages using hack of hole punch with scissor slits which is fine but sorta loose. Looking forward to upgrading to thick paper and aluminum discs soon and a Levenger big punch! In meantime adding washi to edges like you do helps somewhat. From what I hear those changes will make pages stay in even better and turn smoother. If still doesn't feel secure enough for me I'll maybe switch back to rings. But am very enamored by discs and that puncher is pricey (on sale today!) so hope it works!
Thicker pages will make a huge difference! But yes, I love the washi tape trick.
@@KalynBrookeCo Thanks!! Just saw I commented here twice (forgot) and you replied twice! 🙂Maybe this comment will help someone and/or get me even more advice:
The Levenger biggest punch is on its way (still big sale on Levenger products by the way!) cause detailed videos all show it's the best disc punch out there for serious use with I think the ARC punch and possibly TUL punch close runners-up (I'm starting a planner shop). Happy Planner punch has some issues but it has longer "mushroom" stems if someone specifically wants to use all Happy Planner punched inserts.
And ordered Levenger aluminum discs cause I hear aluminum works better than plastic. (Maybe other companies have even more color options for aluminum discs but wasn't sure if they'd be exact shape as Levenger ones which I assume were designed to work great with Levenger punch "mushroom" holes.)
I'll pick thick enough (but not too thick) paper after more research on that.
For a cheaper, faster start, I began with ARC plastic 1" discs and Staples Martha Stewart pages and pages come out too easily when flipping through it. Not recommended. I so hope this will fix that issue. Maybe even thicker paper or plastic for certain much-used inserts.
Hi I want to say you a something you make a excellent videos and I like it
Great video. Tried bullet journaling twice and hated drawing the calendars out, etc. This method sounds better. Currently in an Erin Condren. Thx!
YES. Drawing out all the calendars takes sooo much time!
Yes. It’s great to combine the two. While I keep my work calendar electronically to coordinate with co workers, every week I print it, punch it, and put it in the disc bound planner. I have a tab for each organization i am in, a tab for to do lists, and a tab for notes. I always have what I need with me.
I love the idea of the increased flexibility with the disc-bound. With the printables, do you use standard copy paper?
I should have said that in the video! I use 32lb paper from Amazon. It's a bit thicker so it's sturdier and the pens don't bleed through. Here's the exact paper I use: amzn.to/2VDzyPH (this will work if you are using Letter or Half Letter size)
I hadn’t thought to do the tape. I’ve been using cardstock to print on.
That works too!
Great video, it gave me many good ideas! Do you have an ETA on when you will have Happy Planner sizes in your library? Thanks!
I'm glad you found it helpful! I still have plans to create Happy Planner sizes, but I don't have a firm idea of when that will be, I'm sorry!
Hi Kalyn, I recently switched to a disc bound notebook because I like the flexibility. The only thing that bugs me is the discomfort when writing because of the discs that block my right hand. I was wondering how you do write comfortably in your notebook?
The flexibility is so key! And I understand what you mean about the discs blocking your hand and making it harder to right. I usually pull out the page to write on it and then pop it back in when I'm finished. I just try to be really careful so I don't loosen the punched side too much. If it's a page I know I'll be adding to often, I add a strip of washi tape down the side BEFORE I punch for added stability. I hope that helps!
Hi! This is great! Do you know when the Happy Planner size will be available? I think that is my best size. Thanks!
We do hope to add Happy Planner sizes to the Brainbook Library at some point, but don't have a specific date yet. Stay tuned!
I’m in a traditional bullet journal and it’s not working so well because all of my lists every where! I like the idea of this kind of notebook a lot!! When do you actually change to a new notebook if this one can keep expanding?
I'm almost at capacity actually! And I believe I have 3/4" discs. So I'm considering going to 1" or 1.5" discs to expand what my notebook can hold. I also should have mentioned this in the video, but I only keep two months in my planning section at a time (last month and the current one). The other pages that I don't need anymore, but want to save, go in an "Archive" disc-bound notebook. Hope that helps!
Oh my gosh I do love how you have yours setup. Do you have that written down?
I don't currently, but I do have it on my list to turn this into a blog post!
Excellent video! Do you have a system for the archiving of your pages? I know that Ryder Carroll simply dates his books and files them that way, but with a disc bound system you're either filing the pages or filing the entire disc-bound journal (without re-using it). What is your archiving system?
Great question. I have another Discbound notebook that is specifically for archiving. I don't archive everything though, so it allows me to not end up saving quite as many pages as I would if I were still working out of a bound notebook.
Kalyn Brooke yes that’s what I was thinking - you could just save the most valuable collections and recycle your “laundry lists” so to speak...
I and considering moving from GTD to Bullet Journaling and really want to do this in a Levenger, disc-bound notebook. I will probably archive in a separate notebook with larger rings, but I am also considering scanning the pages into Evernote, that way they are preserved and searchable.
Hi, Just looked up your webpage. It says there that “Happy Planner Sizes Coming Soon” - Is there a estimated month that might occur? Looks interesting!
Hi Lisa! I'm so glad you asked! Almost all of our printables are updated to include Happy Planner sizes now. There are still a few we're working on, but a majority are complete!
Please can you tell me where you got the planner? I live in the UK . Where can I get things in the planner.
This disc bound notebook I got at OfficeMax. But you can find them online as well. Just search for "TUL discbound notebooks" online and you'll find them!
Please can you tell me where I can get things in the planner.
@@susanbearman6441 The Pages in the planner are from BrainbookLibrary.com. You can also print off dot grid paper and do your own layouts as well.
this is great! How do you archive things from this, or do you not archive things?
Thanks!! I don't have a fancy archiving system. I usually just wait until the notebook is full, and then start fresh with a new one! The great thing about a discbound notebook is that you can move pages that are still relevant into a new notebook without having to copy the information onto a new page.
@@KalynBrookeCo yes, that's what got me to try it! think I need to up my organizing some things. Like I end up taking notes from webinars etc on a range of topics, which I used to index in the past bujos...will have to figure out a way to find these later!
What kind of hardbound journal are you currently using?
I'm not currently using a bound journal, but the one that I showed as an example of what I've used in the past is a Scribbles that Matter notebook from Amazon!
How do you store / archive your papers?
I have a second discbound notebook that I use to store all my archived papers! That way the pages are still protected and I can easily reference them if needed.
Do you have social media? Like insta? Loved your video!!
Yes! You can follow me on Instagram @kalynbrookeco. Thanks so much!
