Following our previous posts about Ring-Bound Planner Systems and Discbound Planner Systems its time to tackle the “elastic planner” AKA the Traveler’s Notebook (TN) or, when not made by the Traveler’s Notebook Company, the “Fauxdori”. The name Fauxdori arose several years ago when Traveler’s Notebook was still under the Midori branding and was refer to…

A Deep Dive into Discbound Planners
This is a follow-up to a series of posts created several years ago that dove deep into classic ringbound planners.
