I recently discovered discbound journals which might just be the holy grail of journaling with ADHD. My wife got annoyed I invested in a bulky hole puncher for this new hobby, after having had many new hobbies quickly come and go in the past. Wait til she sees the $200 industrial paper cutter I ordered! 🫨

Having gone through several bullet journals (dot grid paper) over the years, I found them super helpful. But if I hit a snag and Life Happens, it's really hard to get back into the groove of an existing journal with such a large gap. Also, the pages are generally fixed so it takes some planning ahead to place pages and such, which adds extra overhead in setting up new journals. Discbound journals use this special mushroom-shaped hole punching that allow them to grip discs yet allow to be removed/rearranged with minimal wear on the paper. This allows someone to freely write on pages and rearrange as needed (as an ADHDer may do when writing nonlinearly!) as well as archive old pages over time. Also because it's such a simple form factor (hole punched papers and plastic/metal discs) you can easily make your own if none on the market seem suitable. In my case I'm making a pocket sized one to carry and may experiment with different sizes before committing to something long term!
