My Circa page grid
March 27, 2007

A sketch. This is the back of a letter size Circa Grid paper.
After reading about Tom Kelley’s use of the grid paper, I decided to try it. Because there’s a grid, it encourages me to draw. The letter hand writing is readable and can be written in the portrait or landscape mode.
The grid is 1/4 inch square.
In an earlier post I made some erroneous assumptions about the “smurf’. This drawing is an attempt to correct that. I believe the profile that I’ve drawn, silhouette shape is similar to the Rollabind Portable Punch. The Circa Notebook has a slightly different shape silhouette. Both system is interchangeable or “interoperable” to use Ryan Rassmussen’s term.
An aside, I have not seen the Atoma disc. I plan to look into that and compare the ’smurfs’ between the three systems: Circa, Rolla, and Atoma.
Thank You R.R

Duc,
-terrific representation of the perforation shapes
*To give credit where it is due, it was Douglas Johnston who first seeded this term to the DIY community in his three part Circa System Review over at DiyPlanner.com.
Now, I use his term each time I describe a Circa notebook as a ‘dynamic in-box.’
Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan, thanks for the correction. I do like ‘ideation’ and ‘incubating’
*Douglas Johnston is a very wise man.
