The EDC Forum seems to be gone, so I thought this is the only place left for this note.

I like to have PAPER planner of some sort. So I started searching the net and found YouTube videos and other pages discussing Filofax planners and other similar products. I noticed they were too expensive for my taste and budget. But I also noticed that most of those discussing them were ladies.

So, I'm wondering if paper planners are a female thing or what ???

Anyway, I made my own Homemade planner by getting (almost free) a planner with six rings (3+3). Researching the available refills on the net, I decided they were too expensive for my taste. I pulled out the rings and covered the area with black tape. Then bought a cheap spiral notebook with 100 pages, then opened the spiral and added a few pages from another notebook (leftover from my kids). It was 5-subject notebook with sleeve dividers and squares instead of lines. I added 2 of the sleeve/dividers and 20 pages with squares for when I need to draw something.

Lastly, I inserted the 'hybrid-notebook' in the planner's sleeve.
Seems to me, this DIY planner is a 100% better than commercial ones.
Refilling it is easy and cheap. And is more multi-purpose than what is on the net.

Just my 2¢

I do like having paper notes, no need for batteries!
