First, what’s so great about disc binding anyway? It basically combines the best of a 3 ring binder with a spiral bound book. Record "who, when, where and why" at the top, "what" in the middle and "actions arising" at the the bottom.

I don’t think there are as many high end cover options for the discbound planners which I think is a downside. A: I get this question all the time, and I have great news. I use the HP Instant Ink system to print super affordably. Here’s an entire post all about it. A4 and A5 covers, both standard and wide. Build your own notebook or rejuvenate the tired and haggard. The discbound system is basically a combination of a ring binder with a spiral-bound book to combine the best of both worlds.
