In this video I’m officially switching to a ring planner and not looking back—because my MeePlus A5 is basically my Hobonichi replacement for 2026. I walk you through how I set up my notebook from scratch, what I’m using it for as a daily planner, and why the ring format just makes more sense for my brain right now. I also get very “crafty desk gremlin” about it (in the best way), cutting, punching, and making everything feel cute and functional. I share the practical setup pieces that make a ring planner actually work day-to-day: adding sections, using tab stickers to keep everything easy to flip through, and building a system that I’ll realistically keep up with. I also mention some of my favorite tools and supplies I’m using alongside it—like my hole punch for inserts, blotter paper to keep ink under control, and of course a fountain pen I love reaching for. If you’ve been thinking about leaving a bound planner behind, this is your sign to try rings—because being able to move pages around is honestly so freeing.
