Plotter System Walkthrough: How I Use Plotter Binders

The Plotter System from Japan is a popular ringed-binder system by DesignPhil, the maker of TRAVELER'S Notebook, Midori MD, and more. In this video I will walk you through the three sizes that I use: The Plotter Mini 5, Plotter Bible Size, and Plotter A5. With the exception of the Mini 5, most of the leathers featured in this video are limited edition versions that I picked up at pen shows, and probably cannot be purchased other than on the secondary market. 0:00 How I Use Plotter 4:16 Plotter Mini 5 Walkthrough 8:40 Plotter Bible Size Walkthrough 12:29 Plotter A5 Walkthrough A few notes: (1) This isn't a "pretty planner" video. These binders are worn and not particularly well-cared for. I use my notebooks and binders for straight up notetaking and organizing my thoughts (which often aren't even very organized). I'm showing you these notebooks as they exist. (2) I understand that Plotter is expensive and there are cheaper options. This isn't a post about what's the "best value" for a binder system. I like the Plotter aesthetic and the fact that these are slim so I can limit my focus to those few things I'm actually working on at one time. While you can of course hole punch whatever paper you chose as long as it will fit in the binder, I also appreciate that all of the Plotter-branded papers will work with fountain pens and most other inks. I have purchased all of my Plotters and Accessories directly from the Plotter Store. We are not Plotter retailers, nor are we compensated by Plotter. I will post relevant links below at the bottom of this page. One of the most viewed videos on this channel has been my walkthrough of the Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter System: https://youtu.be/uTt0FDQQ2sU The success of the Roterfaden video is what's inspired me to do more of these walkthroughs, which I will plan to compile into a playlist of related videos that you can view here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL08mBTcDsBa2PgrxG4toolGn0wdymfuwg If you enjoyed our content, please subscribe, as it helps me grow the channel and increases exposure for T.G.S. in general.
