Hey Ya’ll! I am here with another planner hack: loose planner rings for many planner system options!
So, I have had these loose planner rings in my stationary drawer for literally years & years. Back in the day I bought them to use rings in my strings (in my TN) as well as use them to archive old planner inserts or to even just make a custom notebook with. Over time, however, they ended up in my drawer & I forgot I had them.
During my pocket rings planner to my a6 rings planner transition, I didn’t have my actual a6 planner yet. However, I was using my a6 planner inserts anyways. The fact that my planner inserts were loose on my desk & I wasn’t able to take them along with me since my planner cover had not yet arrived drove me nuts! I am lost without my planner!
So, I remembered I had these loose rings in one of my old stationary drawers so I went searching for them. I found them! They are not the prettiest shade of gold, but they did just the trick! (They are also offered in other metal colors.)
So I finally secured all my a6 planner inserts together with these rings while awaiting my cover & it was great! It basically turned my inserts, dividers & clear front & back covers into a custom notebook. This is almost like creating a disc bound notebook, but with rings instead. You can also use this set up to slide your custom ring notebook into a nice leather planner cover, use to archive any old or unused planner inserts, use to put rings in your traveler’s notebook strings & so much more!
The best part, these rings are sold in single rings as well as the 3 ringed pieces (which is what I am using) so they can literally fit all size ring planner inserts! You just have to have 2 of the 3 ring pieces to hook them together or even use the single rings if that’s what you prefer.
These rings are inexpensive, come in various metals & create lots of versatility & options for your planning systems & notebooks! Seriously, what a hidden gem?! So I just had to share with you!
Happy Planning!
