"I appreciated the introduction to Circa through this kit. The variety of paper samples allowed me to test out options and determine which ones will work best for my longterm customized notebook and planner needs. I'm now a Circa convert."

"Circa gives you the benefits of a three-ring binder and spiral notebook all in one.
It's portable like a spiral notebook and yet allows you to move pages and organize like a three-ring binder without the bulk.
I've started with this Starter Kit. If you're unsure whether Circa is for you, this is the one to start with. I have been showing my Circa Letter Size notebook to anyone who stops long enough for me to whip it out.
But I must warn you, once you get it, you'll want more paper. So save time now and order. I like both the full line and the annotated paper. I also like the vertical lined 3 x 5 cards and the lined PDA cards too.
With a standard three-ring binder you are limited to one size piece of paper unless you want another size piece flopping around. With a sprial notebook you end up with (or at least I do) a bent wire. Which makes using it difficult.
I've gone on to purchase a Project Binder which allows me to move things I want to keep out of my notebook. I have also ordered three tablets of letter size annotated lined paper.
My next big purchase with be the desk punch. I keep finding things I want to put into my notebook.
My only regret is not getting my Circa sooner. Now if only there were a store in Washington State."

"I needed something to combine with my blackberry and this is perfect! The junior size fits perfectly in my purse and I've already decided on some additional pieces to purchase to add to my starter kit. I purchased the grocery lists along with my starter kit and love those too."

"I have been wanting to try the circa system for a long time but felt it was too much of a splurge. I finally got it, and was sorely dissappointed. Once I took a page out, it curved at the "holes" and would not go back in. I used it for a conference, and it was bulky. Once a page was used, as I said, it kept falling out and would not stay in place. Not sure if I just got a "lemon" based on other reviews. Note: the only reason I put excellent for value was because I got a gift card with purchase, so it was essentially free."

"I've gotten a couple letter-sized notebooks, and I wanted something for my purse that wasn't a permanent record like my Moleskine notebooks are. This junior size fit the bill perfectly. I can jot down copious to-do lists, and just throw the pages away when I'm done. The paper is very nice for gel ink, and I love how the cover folds back completely."

"I ordered this in desparation after not getting organized with either Franklin Covey and Filo Fax. This has proven to be a HUGE winner! I'm in sales and travel a lot - so need to have lots of information at my fingertips that is constantly changing plus needs to be light weight. This really fits the bill. The pages are very durable, easy to move, and a pleasure to use. My best "find" is to print Google maps/copy subway maps and slip these into my book (no more messy folders!). I used a label maker to customize my tabs and this is a snap to use. I love this! Thanks Levinger."

"As a creative personbusiness person and a writer, I have found the circa notebooks to be a uniquely useful item. The ease of reorganizing, and the layout that always allows another note to be entered is truly valuable. For a right-brained visual person, it is much better than a computer. It is ALL there in front of you, not forgotten 2 -20 screens back, or lost forever in the blip-blip-blue. This product is an alpha."

"I purchased this Levenger Starter Kit for myself last year. It was amazing. As you can see, I have personalized the cover of my circa with things that I like.
Before Circa, I was lost. Scraps of paper everywhere, forgetting lists, just a mess. I love using my circa. It has helped me to become more efficient and to live a real GTD lifestyle!"
