Office Supplies: Arc Binder

Confession: I love office supplies! 

When I was in college I had to learn how to balance my papers, projects, student teaching schedule, and ministry. An upper class man that I knew had a planner and went everywhere with this planner. I was inspired.

Seeing how well she juggled her demanding schedule, I purchased  a small leather bound ring planner. I was dazzled at all the accessories! This may be the start of my love for office supplies! There were several components to my planner including a daily calendar, to do list, address book, and business card holder. Fun stuff. 

I learned time management in college thanks to this planner and was kept on task. 

A few years ago, a friend of mine (who was also the leader of our church's singles group), found this new binder system at Staples. While I didn't have a need to balance several projects and schedules, I was drawn in nonetheless. 

I have been keeping myself on track and paperless by my iPhone and iPad with the use of various apps. Although this may be a noble effort, it is inevitable to receive papers, brochures, etc. from meetings, conferences, and Bible studies. 

My new job is not complicated but there are a lot of projects and tasks. I need to keep myself organized. One of my colleagues has the same binder system as my friend which I had forgotten. Now it is very relevant to my job. 

Meet the Arc System:

The innovative discs hold paper and the compatible accessories that have mushroom shaped indents rather than the traditional holes. Staples also sells a a compatible punch to add any document to the disc binder.

There is a built in corner folder flap with business card holder slots. There is a larger page for business cards at Staples also. 

I've had it a few days and love it already!
