Filofax March 2013 set up

Here is my most "liked" and "favorite" video ever! (Is it even a word?!)
I filmed my April 2013 setup, and I change it constantly, and make a new video every time! :)
I have the explanation of my whole set up from scratch, I got lazy the next month, and I thought why make another set up video from scratch if I already have one?
If you have any comments, please let me know on youtube or here, I'll explain or make another video as an answer!

Filofax vs. Franklin Covey binders

I compare A Filofax and Franklin Covey binders. They have a lot in common. Both are black, both have biggest rings from their ranges, both have many pockets and credit cards slots. The biggest difference is the size of rings. Franklin Covey binders have generally bigger ring sizes than Filofax. The size of Franklin Covey  rings are 34 mm, and the size of Filofax rings are 30 mm. It might seems as not much, but it makes HUGE difference in reality!

Filofax unboxing and my first impression

Here is one of my first videos, and I am stiff a little bit (a lot actually), but i got much better since!
I didn't like my Malden in the beginning, because it was so DARK and GROOMY. I even put it away for two days! I have picked it up, transferred all of my inserts from my Franklin Covey binder and voila!
I hope you'll like this video and subscribe to see my updates on my Malden and on my other new ideas! :)

DIY notebook-planner or how to get an Arc by Staples notebook system?

Ok, you know that I love organizing and organizational tools. A notebook is  one of organizational tools for me. My  notebook is a DIY notebook-planner. I love it. I got the idea from here and here.
 
When I lived in NY, I bought a Franklyn Covey system. It is a great system if you agree to cary a heavy notebook with metal rings. I used it for a while, reduced the amount of pages that I carried, and since I went everywhere by foot and had to carry my whole life around (hello, it's NY!), and finally dropped it.
  
Then I had baby and thought that I don't need a planner.  I was wrong! I suddenly started to forget important things when there were A LOT of things to do. Pinterest had all this wonderful ideas of DIY binders, but after trying I realized that this is not for me. I could design and print my own tabs, but those metal rings are still too heavy!
    
 I use a simple spiral-bound  THICK notebook as my planner. I draw my own tabs and have a year calendar sticked there. I use a sticky tab dividers to label current month, week, to-do list and  other lists. I'm happy! I'm free from limitations of only ONE planner system, I have plenty of room for my notes and ideas (and I like to write A LOT of them which requires a lot of space), I can customize everything, and it cost me $ 2 or 3 only!!!
     
But you know me. I'm a perfectionist! I want to switch those pages around! I research disk-bound systems, as Levenger Circa and Arc by Staples. (Comparison is here). The difference is in price only. Arc is cheaper. I wanted to order Arc online, then I found out that Staples US don't ship to other countries. It's foreign stores (UK) don't have a hole puncher!AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Levenger doesn't ship internationally also, so there is no alternative! AHH!!!!!!!!
 
What a girl to do?
What kind of planner do you use? Does it work for you? 

Update: Staples UK store answered me that an Arc hole puncher will be available at Oct-Nov only. So, I'll wait!
