Share
Are you ready to create a disc-bound planner that’s as unique and purpose-filled as your life? Whether you're a caregiver, medical mom, or a busy Christian woman striving to stay organized and grow closer to God, a customizable disc-bound planner is the perfect tool to help you stay on track. Here are 5 top tips to help you create a planner that works for you—and encourages your faith walk every step of the way.
"Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you." – Psalm 37:5 (NLT)
Let this promise guide you as you build a planner that supports your goals and your walk with Christ.
1. Choose the Right Discs for Your Lifestyle
Your discs are the foundation of your planner. From mini to expander sizes, plastic to metal—there are plenty of options. If you’re just getting started, go with 1.5" plastic discs to keep things lightweight and manageable. For thicker planners or if you love adding extras like prayer journals or meal plans, larger 2" metal discs offer durability and space.
📝 Faith+Life Tip: Use gold or rose gold discs to add a little inspiration and beauty to your everyday planning. You can also find discs with cross, heart, or other themed cut-out in the center to customize it even more.
2. Select Printable Planner Pages That Support Your Calling
Your planner should reflect your real-life responsibilities—so focus on printable pages that fit your needs. Start with monthly, weekly, and daily layouts, and then add faith-based inserts like Scripture writing pages, sermon notes, or Bible study trackers.

3. Invest in a Quality Cover and Dividers
Protect your planner with a laminated cover that reflects your personal style or faith. Floral covers, scripture-inspired designs, or simple minimalist looks all work beautifully. Use sturdy dividers to separate sections like “Home,” “Faith,” “Wellness,” and “To-Do.”
📝 Faith+Life Tip: Create a DIY faith-focused cover using a favorite scripture verse as a reminder of God’s promises. Be sure to laminate your cover at home or your local office supply store for durability.

4. Print Like a Pro at Home
A quality print makes a big difference! Use 28–32 lb. paper for thicker, non-bleed pages. Print at 100% scale, and select "borderless" if available to maximize space.
📝 Faith+Life Tip: Print your scripture writing pages on slightly thicker paper so you can use mildliners or gel pens without bleed-through.
5. Make It Personal—and Prayerful
Add in extra pages that help you care for your soul. Include a prayer journal, gratitude log, habit tracker, or seasonal scripture writing challenge. Use stickers, washi tape, and highlighters to make it visually uplifting and enjoyable.
📝 Faith+Life Tip: Before assembling your planner, pray over it—ask the Lord to guide your days, renew your mind, and give you peace through every season.
God’s word reminds us to commit our plans to Him—and creating a faith-based planner is a powerful step toward intentional, Christ-centered living.
