Free for All Friday No. 882 by Eve

I’ve done a LOT of thinking lately about my tendency to planner flip-flop throughout the year and how I seriously do not want to continue with that pattern. While it’s fun for social media posts, it’s not fun for my bank account! Not only is it expensive but it’s also wasteful, since I don’t use most of what I purchase for the entire year, if at all.

So, I decided to draw a line in the sand for the coming year and commit now to ONE SIZE binder and ONE SET OF INSERTS. I'm not saying I won't make use of binders that I already own in one size, but I won't change in and out of different sizes during the year.

After much pro/conning, here is what I’ve decided:

I’m going with ……drumroll please…...Franklin Covey Classic.

I love the portability of a Filofax Personal, or a Franklin Covey Compact but I feel like the older I get the more writing room I need, not to mention that my eyes aren’t what they used to be, so the larger font size is much easier for me to see. I’ve never been much of an A5 girl for some reason, as it does not feel as natural to me as half letter does.

With FC Classic I have decent page size and also the ability to fit it all my handbags except for the smallest ones (which I wouldn’t carry if I needed a planner with me anyway). Classic is also going to be the size with the most FC insert and form options available to purchase (since I am totally incapable of anything DIY when it comes to planners).

I've purchased the 2026 Carrera inserts from the Franklin Covey website because they are simple, clean and have minimum design, and I am committing to them for next year.

Between my reduced work hours, inflation, the end of de minimus exemptions and the tariffs, my goal for 2026 is to spend less, save money and use what I have. My hope is to get back to simpler times when I was content with one size planner and one set of inserts for an entire year. I planned this way for decades in the past; I’m confident I can do it again.

What about you? Are you a “planner switcher” or you are a steadfast user of the same planner for the long haul? As always on Fridays, feel free to discuss anything ring planner related and have a great weekend!
