Circa System Review

If you haven't seen it yet, Doug over at DIYPlanner.com has posted Part 1 in what will evidently be a multi-part review of my favorite productivity tool, the Levenger Circa system.

Review: The Levenger Circa System, Part I

A great read which just confirms what many of us already know...

I've done it

The holes won't line up--you can tell by holding a ruler up to the Franklin Covey or Filofax pages--you just can't line up all the 1-inch marks with holes in the pages. Circa punches are evenly spaced, 1 inch apart. They're just not going to line up neatly. But I've gone ahead and Circa-punched them and put them in my Circa notebook, and they work fine. But the lighter-weight pages won't stay in as reliably as heavier paper does. I've seen suggestions that you use paper 24-lb or heavier in a Circa notebook, and I think it's right. I'm using 20-lb paper and it doesn't stay in as well as I'd like.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
