This video was so helpful Joe! I’m looking for a new planner for 2021 and this answered my questions on the Medium XL vs PW size! I also binge watched your channel.. keep up the amazing work.. your Harry Potter setup was incredible and your Dec/Jan setups for this year are absolutely gorgeous! New sub.. look forward to seeing more from you! (You should have your own shop!)
Oh thank you so much!! This was so helpful to understand the difference. I’m trying to decide if I should take an xl. I was looking for a personal size which is impossible to find in the orange or gold!
Your Annie plans inserts, especially the monthly with the foldout, what size is that because there are no compact ring inserts on her site besides b6slim travelers notebook. I am currently using b6slim inserts from diyfish and need others because I love this size
It's so so so so sooooooo helpful!!! I've been struggling with pw and medium xl so long, and couldn't decide one to buy. Now I decide to buy xl. And is yours xl in epoca yellow? Tha't so pretty!! I've never considered this colour before, but now I get how beautiful it is! waiting for restock.
Thanks, that was very helpful!! I’ve been in an A6 (Gillio or VdS) since 2015 and even have a video showing how I made FC compact inserts fit in an A6! 😃 However, I recently added a B6 rings (the big one) to my planner life to track some health issues and various doctors’ appointments but I’m having a hard time getting settled in it. I downsized a little to a FF PW but it’s a lot smaller than the Aura Estelle B6 so, after watching your video, I’m thinking a Gillio PW may be exactly what I need. Now I get to wait for a restock. 😐 I also considered another custom VdS but if I end up not liking it, it might be hard to sell so I think I’ll try the others before ordering another VdS that I may or may not use. 😂 Thanks for the video, I hadn’t seen one of these yet!!
FC inserts in A6?!? Wow. I need to watch that video. Haha. You must be one crafty genius. I have tried a6 so many times and i just cant make it work. Ugh!
Planit_joe Joe Hahaha! Im certainly not crafty or a genius but at the time I was determined to used FC inserts and an A6 so I was going to make it work!! 😂 I think it’s posted on this channel any I’ve only posted a few videos so it will be easy to find. I have a question about the Gillio PW. I think you stand “B6 rings” inserts with side tabs will fit. Do you show that in any of your videos? I’m pretty sure I’m going back to B6 rings inserts (5.3.x 7”) but I can’t find a planner that will hold them and side tabs, except the Aura Estelle I have. I would love to see how that size insert fits in a Gillio PW if you don’t mind.
You can fit FC Compact size in a Van der Spek Touch Me Standard or a VdS Custom Standard Size widened. The inserts should fit well in a Medium Kikki K as well.
Hi! I am unsure how many inches. Its very difficult to measure because of the back plate. But the Gillio website has the sizing in CM. I believe its 37.1 by 19 cm. Be sure to verify though! 🥰
Great video! I’m working on setting up a Medium “Muppet” with 30mm rings right now. I’m going to side-tab it and let them poke out the side like some maniac!😂 I think more people would embrace FC if there were more shops selling inserts in that size- and there would me more shops offering them if more people used them! It’s a vicious circle! I can wait to see your Halloween flip! Make sure you tag me when you sell that undyed!😎
Oh my goodness! Thank you for putting this video together. It was very helpful because I always wondered what the difference between the Med XL and PW. What side tabs do you use for your Med XL? If you use the regular personal side tabs, is that too short/narrow with the Franklin covey inserts? Also, any suggestions where to get affordable like lined pages for a personal wide? Are inserts for PW hard to find? Thank you in advance, Joe!!
Joe thank you so much what an awesome comparison! What I didn’t hear for certain is that the Franklin Covey ring for the compact is the same as the configuration of the rings for the personal wide? So if I purchase the personal wide planner I could or could not use personal wide inserts but also Franklin Covey compact inserts knowing they would not be as wide but the rings would work? Thank you again! I love your vids. Been watching them a lot the last few days
Yes maam. You absolutely could use FC size inserts with PW rings. If youre like me, it might drive you crazy that the seem so small in the PW though. 🤣🤣
Planit_joe Joe thank you! I am not for sure I hate my tabs to get bent even a little. I Am like you they have to stay clean and neat! I am new to Gillio and want a personal wide so bad! Did you decide to sell yours? How many planners do you have? I love seeing all the color combinations!
This is SUCH a useful video. I was trying to decide whether I wanted medium or medium xl and this is great. Thank you

Really really appreciate this video, been looking everywhere for size comparisons to help me make decision. Subscribed!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful.

Medium XL is by far my fav
omg i love this it answered all my questions. Thank you..
Great video. PLease could you tell me the width of the personal wide when open? Thanks.
This video was SO SO SO helpful! Thank you! X
Glad it helped!!
Great comparison! Thank you!! ❤
Do you still have your u dyed personal?
Hi! What are the measurements of the PW open flat, length and width? TIA!
Great video! Very informative! 👍🏻
Your Annie plans inserts, especially the monthly with the foldout, what size is that because there are no compact ring inserts on her site besides b6slim travelers notebook.
I am currently using b6slim inserts from diyfish and need others because I love this size
I asked her to resize them to FC size. I am unsure if she still does this or not. 😊
Thank you
This really helps, thanks! I’ve been looking for this kind of video 👌
Glad I could help! 🥰
Thank you so much for all of this useful information! Very good video.
Would personal wide inserts fit in the medium XL? I'm guessing no?
Persinal Wide would not fit med xl. You would definitely need PW for that. 😊
Planit_joe Joe Great video! Here’s a question for you 😄 Would personal wide inserts fit in an XL if it had 25mm rings instead of 30?
Awesome video! Thank you so much joe!!
Thank you!!
It's so so so so sooooooo helpful!!! I've been struggling with pw and medium xl so long, and couldn't decide one to buy. Now I decide to buy xl. And is yours xl in epoca yellow? Tha't so pretty!! I've never considered this colour before, but now I get how beautiful it is! waiting for restock.
The yellow is so gorgeous! I love it. And gold. Med xl is my fav!!

Pug Lady Plans i did a harry potter video with b6 ring inserts. Check it out!!
This video is very helpful! Thank you so much.

You can fit FC Compact size in a Van der Spek Touch Me Standard or a VdS Custom Standard Size widened. The inserts should fit well in a Medium Kikki K as well.
Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Do you happen to know how many inches the medium xl is when open flat? Looking into buying my first gillio. 😆
Hi! I am unsure how many inches. Its very difficult to measure because of the back plate. But the Gillio website has the sizing in CM. I believe its 37.1 by 19 cm. Be sure to verify though! 🥰

Thanks! 🥰
Yes!!! I second everything you say about FC size and med XL!!
Its the best!! 🥰
I have so many personal wides inserts, will they fit in the medium xl??
Hi there! Unfortunately no. PW inserts will only fit the PW size Gillio. They are gorgeous planners! You should try one. 🥰
Hi, Joe, how much are you selling the Gillio Undyed Medium Compagna for? Thanks
Hi Sienna! Contact me on IG or FB messenger. :)

Melissa Howard i have about 13 of the PW right now. 🥰🥰
Planit_joe Joe are you kidding me!! I am looking at possibly getting a red one! How do you compare them to VDS?
Melissa Howard ive not had a VDS yet so it would not be fair of me to compare juts yet.
Title isn't showing.
Great comparison
Thanks! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ i foxed it. Thanks for letting me know. ❤️
I would love to purchase the undyed personal
I believe you contacted me on FB? If not, you can fond me there and also on IG! 🥰🥰
