I spent all of the money on traveler's notebooks and got rid of my favorite ring bound planners to do it, only to find out that I can't use traveler's notebooks and have to stick with rings, which work for me. TNs just make me anxious with all they entail. I'm just sorry it took me almost a year to figure it out.

I also don't use decoration for only decorative purpose.

I threw my A5 personal and pocket planners in the bin because I had not used them for several years.

I've been using the same set up since 1994 although sometimes in different planners (desk calendar vs. ring bound personal), and it works very well for me. Sometimes simplicity is best.

I agree with everything you said.<br /><br />I think people rely too much on how others use their system and try to adapt things because "it looks good," rather than "that would really work for me." In too many cases, I think people don't know what will work for them and they try too many things without really give any of them a chance.
