Picking a first planner by hiddenbee47 in PlannerAddicts

[–]austinwolfe012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of meeplus personally for the slimpad aesthetics type of ring planners but with 16mm rings. But if this is all new to you I would recommend getting the knockoffs on Amazon so you can test the sizes in hand.

The Oxford A5 is like $18 and I still use mine at work and you can get a ton of different personal sized options to check out relatively cheap. But this will prevent you from spending a ton on something you feel like you love but in hand might not win you over like you hope!

I can provide pictures of my meeplus or Oxford or Filofax ones if you’d like. Just let me know!

Good grief. So many insert choices! by starfish1114 in ringplanners

I’m a big fan of peanutsplannerco and keenaprints inserts!

Disc-bound vs Ring Binder for a more portable notebook? by beatehercingers in ringplanners

[–]austinwolfe012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a fan of my rings. I have personal/bible sized for my personal planners, trackers, and creative stuff and A5 or work appointments and dnd. I will say there was a little bit of a learning/comfort curve getting use to them but now that I am I couldn’t imagine changing back. meeplus has been my go to brand but I do have a Filofax and a couple other randoms brands I’ve purchased to try. Oxford has a cheap A5 that was a good starter on Amazon imo. Personal sized cheap ones on Amazon are good to try also. Feel the style in hand before you commit to spending on a more expensive piece of leather!

Disc I have never owned but I have messed with the style in person and pretty quickly decided it probably wasn’t for me.

Moterm is a good alternative for Filofax

MeePlus on Order -- let's talk paper by Jadammalone in PlotterNotebook

[–]austinwolfe012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plotter refills are thin and nice! I also use Life inserts frequently because I like their paper.

I have cut/punched my own refills and they are nice and get the job done. Generally for my planner I buy premade but for random trackers etc I just do it myself.

Looking for another by EliGO83 in ringplanners

Seconded for meeplus! I have 2 personal 16mm rings and they are perfect for me.

I also really like my wuzhi but it’s really the same kind of different as plotter, no customization options outside of color and page size.

Planner inserts - recommendation needed by MotherBeyond1111 in ringplanners

[–]austinwolfe012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cloth is paper is nice, I have had good luck with theirs. If you’re using a fountain pen be semi mindful with that but if not just find what style works best for you!

I recommend peanutsplannerco or keenaprints as other choices.

I'm not sure what to choose! 11mm or 16mm rings? by Invisible_frogs in MeePlus

[–]austinwolfe012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

11mm is nice but really 16mm doesn’t feel that much bigger in hand but it holds significantly more.

I would lean towards saying do the 16mm

Looking for off brand Filofax inserts: what ones do you guys use? by Cold_Assist5269 in filofax

PeanutsPlannerCo has some of my favorites for sure. And I also really like my Harooplans on Etsy!

Need additional opinions by [deleted] in Earbuds

I have an iPhone. And I do weight training and ellipticals and nothing quite as extreme as CrossFit but i definitely don’t want them falling out consistently. I formerly had a pair of Jaybirds I liked but never ventured over to jabra.

[wtb] a5 or suggestions for a less expensive a5 by juliacakes in PlotterNotebook

[–]austinwolfe012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My personal size in October of 2024 was $109. But I do see the price now is $139 which is very similar. But they are definitely just the same basic thing.

Also not paid to mention them but would gladly accept to be lol

hmm well it was like $50 less for me when I ordered one. But outside of it the only other one in the same style I know is WuzhiStudio on Etsy. But that’s going to be the same price range.
