Review on Green Leather Spiral Journal With 6-Ring Binder: Refillable Planner Notebook For Business And Personal Organizing, Ideal Agenda For Men And Women, Compatible With 6-Hole Binders - CAGIE A5 by Shawn Mortensen

This was definitely worth buying. It looks much more professional than my other DIY designed one. The other one was fun, was difficult to keep it from looking like a 13 year older school planner. The magnetic clip was also only useful if the binder was not too full. This one does not have that concern. It actually has the opposite effect. If the binder is not completely full, the clip will not stay in place and keep it closed. Sort of like pants not staying up without a belt. That being said, this binder is slightly smaller in dimension than my other a5 binder which is a very standard binder so it actually holds less. It was only comfortable once I removed the first 6 months of monthly calendars that I had already passed. This means that for me, it comfortably holds only 6 months at a time for my monthly calendars, but it does also hold the entire year for the weekly section so if I need to schedule or notated something outside that time frame, I can still record it in the weekly section and just add it to the monthly once I switch to the next 6 month period. The way I organize it is: Monthly calendar section, then weekly section, then amy extra section such as meal planning, notes, etc. This binder also came with 5 dividers that were actually the same width as the standard a5 page so I did have to add bookmark tabs to the dividers in order to extend the width enough to find the dividers between the pages. Still, I already had a several of these tabs so it was not hard to do that. I did purchase an Avery set of dividers for a5 binders and found that they had the same problem of the tabs not being wide enough to find between the pages so I figured I would have to add bookmark tabs to any dividers for the same size binder.Other than that, it's been a great notebook and the blank pages it comes with will save me cost once I need to add new pages for notes. Even if I only used this as a writing notebook, it would still be worth purchasing.
