If you’re jumping into discbound planning and you want to customize your setup, this video is basically my “things to know before you start cutting and punching” chat. I walk through the choices that make the biggest difference—like how to decide what size discs you actually need, what kind of dividers and dashboards will hold up, and how to think about your planner as a system (not just a pretty stack of paper). The goal is to help you build a custom discbound planner or journal that functions the way you need it to, while still letting you have fun with the decorative side. I also share some of my favorite, super practical DIY tools for customizing—stuff I actually reach for when I’m making inserts, trimming dashboards, or adding my own protective elements. Things like flexible cutting boards for crafting, a good pair of scissors, and an exacto knife can make your cuts cleaner and your pages look way more finished. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the options, I’m giving you the planning “framework” I use so you can customize with confidence and keep your setup easy to refresh as your needs change.
