The biggest misconception about the spiral planner is that it’s too generic, too many people will have the same look and feel, it can’t be individualized – etc but that’s all FALSE. The SPIRAL PLANNER, while limited in size capacity can be customized to you reflect your own personal style and here’s how 👇🏾

To start you can use a cover of your choosing. I particularly like the CLEAR VINYL COVER because it allows you to see right through to my personal layering/cover style. You can also use any of the large size LEATHER FOLIO’S.

Another option for some individual flare are dashboards. A great option is to subscribe to the monthly SUB BOX in the size A5 UNPUNCHED. This will allow you to do Iesha’s (@plannergurlzrock) double discbound punch cheat technique if you dont have a spiral T-Style hole puncher. The good thing about this is you can either ring or discbound punch the inserts/dashboards to use for your regular planner system as well so it’s like getting 2 planner boxes in one. I ordered the REASON DASHBOARD along w/ the MARGINALIA and NEW BEGINNINGS DASHBOARD’s for some front cover layering. I purchased the Reason vellum dashboard and the New Beginnings dashboard in half letter (I will try the double punched method for these). My Marginlaia dashboard was purchased in the A5 ring size and it’s going to take a lil miracle to punch this correctly (I’ll do a post if I actually get it to work 🙏🏾). Another option for unpunched dashboards are digital downloads in which you can print and punch to your liking such as this MINIMALIST DASHBOARD.

For some added organization I will use the CADENCE TOP TAP DIVIDERS and a SPIRAL POCKET FOLDER for minimal sticker storage.

While we’re on the topic of stickers, they will always add the perfect touch for individuality. For the initial introduction page I purchased the RAISED LETTER STICKERS in Avant Garde. I’ll also use some of my favorite dot, drops, and timeblock stickers to personalize my monthly and weekly layouts to my individual needs and personal style.
