Binders have always been my favorite organization tool. They allow for endless customization options, can be reused across the years and its content can be reorganized according to your needs. So of course that I would be looking for a binder as the first purchase of 2019's back to school season.
In this back to school shopping trip I was looking for a binder setup with old-school vibes and that could act as an archiving solution for my notes at home. I was also looking for a budget friendly setup so I went for mid to low range supplies that were durable enough to withstand the semester without breaking the bank.
Taking that into account, I knew right away that plastic binders were out of question since they would be completely over budget, ranging from ten to 20 euros so I went for the classic cardstock slash cardboard version which is probably going to be more than enough since I won't be carrying this thing in a backpack to college. If you find a plastic binder that fits your budget, that's always the option that I alays recommend since it will last you a looong time, especially if you carry it around.
After the binder was picked, the biggest challenge was finding tabs that were resistant enough and fit the price point. Although the hard plastic ones are the best, they were incredibly expensive and the cheaper plastic solutions are those thin plastic dividers that easily bend and rip as well. I found a good in-between which were cardstock dividers with plastic reinforced tabs.
For more organization goodness I went searching for some old school looking folder inserts for the binder and found these archiving folders that can be easily hole punched and serve as a place to keep handouts, your syllabus or any initial information provided at the beginning of the semester that is useful to isolate and can be kept as a front page of the course's divider. Besides those folders, which cost 75 cents each, I also found a pack of cardstock archivers that serve to file major projects that can also be isolated from the rest of your notes. These can be useful for test practice, homework you have to turn in, assignments, reports and that type of work that is detrimental for your final grade.
Since Staples was majorly lacking in filler paper I went out of my way to another store and found this new notepad by Oxford that was perfect for the type of binder I was trying to achieve. They also had this same notebook in white so if the yellow toned pages are not for you, that's not a problem. Two great features about this notepad are that one, each page can be scanned using the markings in the corners and they work with their app Scribzee, and, two, despite being ruled pages you have markings at the top and bottom of each page that serve to guide you in case you want to draw vertical lines, which can be useful in some formats like the cornell method.
Regarding what to put in your binder during setup, I always recommend a one-page academic calendar which allows you to see what are the assignments, tests, midterms, quizes and exams you'll have at a glance.
Secondly, I think it's a good idea to keep your syllabi in your binder, divided per classes. First of all, it acts as a table of contents for the following notes and, secondly, it can be a precious tool to refer back to previous chapters or to simply understand how all of your lectures are connected around a bigger theme.
Of course that you can go all out with your binder and use other inserts and acessories but if I were you, I would keep it as simple as it gets. Maybe get a penloop if you are prone to misplace your pens or a side pocket to keep a class schedule or the map of your campus. The more crowded and full your binder is, the less likely you'll resort to it as a studying tool and that's the opposite of what we want to achieve with today's video.

I am going paperless but this video Just makes it harder and harder.
I want to go paperless but it’s hard at my school
No problem doing both.
I want to save some analog notes when necessary (drawings, charts, lists, excerpts, etc.) and digitally save what I can (notes, programs, PDFs, books, etc.)
Also, what if you can't access your electronic for some time?
I have been looking for a binder organization video without pre punched papers and overly expensive muji binders and other out of budget things as well as something i would use for a long time . This is absolutely perfect. Thank you ❤️
Such a simple topic but so helpful! 💗
I’m going into college and am making content too 🌸

Ghazal Asif, my school starts in Aug 😔
@@linhnguyenmai1907 mine starts mid September where I live, so it's still the first week of holidays for me
The school year starts in January / February in Australia
Erin Janssen I-... have so many questions....
HomieRobotGURL (I am not from Australia) but I can guess it’s because their summer starts when our winter starts, therefore their summer break starts when we have fall/winter.
So useful! Love keeping my paperwork and calendars organised :)
Sending love and good vibes !
Your suggestions to be organized always been so fantastic... because as your explanation about the supplies and which is the best thing...meets my expectations..like your videos.. waiting for next one👍😊

O teu nível de organização e dedicação é inspirador. Espero que tenhas muito sucesso nos teus objetivos. ❤️
I start on the first of September haha but i am gonna watch all your videos i mean you’re videos are helpful and your voice is satisfying lol i am happy I found ur channel!
Today was my first day back! I am so excited! This video was definitely helpful! 💙
I’m so glad you post these videos!! I’ve never been a super organized person
Thanks for such videos they really help us in organizing ourselves in a better way. 😇😇
Waahhhh I'll be going to school tomorrow!! Such timing
I like to stick printed contact paper on my binders - it's a great way of customizing and it protects it at the same time.
THE BEST ORGANISATION VIDEO EVER
I needed this im going back to school next week 😢
After 4 months of no school i need mariana to guide meer
This is so satisfying
I love the way you do your videos and how you explain topics.
(Não há muito tempo descobri o teu canal, percebi que eras portuguesa principalmente pelo sotaque e também pelo nome. kk)
Live long and prosper🖖
Yes i love binder videos!!!
Love love love this. Thank you
in the US, we typically have 3 ring binders, but i love that two ring binder so much,,,,
Very helpful thank you so mutch 👍🏻 Love your videos ☺️
estou viciada no teu canal, adoro este tipo de conteúdo! nova seguidora aqui eheh x
Bem vinda!
I’m going school shopping in m not sure if I should get a binder?
Just what I was looking for!
I love it how I’m watching these types of videos when I legit only have 6 weeks of school.
Will you no longer be using your ARC notebook? Also, is there a version of the notepad that isn't hole punched? Love your videos x
Thank for caring how much they cost!!!
I am a bit surprised to see how expensive stationery items are in your country because here in France, you can get some good quality stationery items for under 5€ -which is REALLY helpful when you’re on a budget and are looking for new supplies 🤧
god bless auchan and their 2,50€ binders haha when she said a plastic binder was 20€ I was shocked!
Hhhh à carrefour?
any suggestion for A4 size binder with 4 or more rings? As in those with 2 rings, the paper rips apart EXtrremely easily.
Love you from Vietnam
Thanks for the calendar website
It's not related though, but how do you store your notes taken on disc-bound notebooks?
I just started with disc-bounding system, but confused about storing them for future revision as larger discs aren't available here & it's too painful to carry a large notebook everyday
Anyway you could do more paperless stuff? I’ve decided to go paperless this year myself!
I love this vid. Too bad my country does not have those kinds of binder accessories.
Me: *watching all plastic binders that are cheap at my store but wants the binder that Mariana chose*
*sigh* why can't I have that beautiful binder?
i’ve watched a few videos, but i was wondering if anyone knows how to organise papers in your binder that aren’t hole punched
(i never have to time to hole punch everything)
I honestly can't picture your daily life with so many binder, notepads, apps. How come you don't get lost with so many stuff around?
I don’t use that much organization stuff. I use Notion and a Filofax planner for all of my planning. Of course I review many different things and set up many different types of organization methods for this CZcams channel, but my current system is quite simple.
Sinceramente, Staples e el Corte Ingles são das lojas mais caras de portugal. Encontram-se excelentes opções em outro tipo de lojas, como papelarias ou até mesmo supermercados!
Nunca consegui funcionar com dossiers, as folhas desapareciam por arte de magia e depois tinha sempre de estar a pedir coisas aos colegas, assim que para mim o caderno é muito mais eficiente, embora de o triplo de trabalho a nivel organizacional :P
上手👍
ホント綺麗にまとめてあるノート👍
I’m so mad school starts like on the 13th for me which is almost two weeks earlier than usual and it’s my last high school summer, I’m not ready for college 😰
Lo compras en carrefour?
So helpful😃thxs😊
I'm trying to find the same calendar as you . were could I find it?
Love your channel.
Thanks for your love.
Ok aabei de encontrar a minha youtuber favorita!!!
Argh this is so helpful thanks
Hi do you know where I can find those file folders for binders online? I just can't seem to get a hold on them in my country. Lol you vid inspired me to reorganise my entire year's papers, my room is a complete mess now!!!😭😝😋😂
0:28 excuse me for being random but I really like your watch..!! (can I ask you where you got that?)
Really random, but do you paint your own nails? If so what nail polish do you use? Your nails always look great!
Very Nice😍😍😍😍
I should organize my binder like this because last semester i keep losing my notes :')
Mariana, what store in Lisbon is your Oxford notepad from? I really like it! ✨❤️
El corte inglês!
I am so early! Hi Mariana!!
Hello, Emily! ❤️
my problem is.. i need to use plastic cases for my notes (i cannot punch holes in my notes cause I loose some info then) , and when you use those the binder dividers cannot be seen from the side because notes overlap them :(
I've always preferred binders over notebooks, however I found that in the long term binders become heavier, plus they take up a lot of space. This year I'm going to purchase a Kånken backpack and I'm afraid that if I use a binder this would take up a lot of space. You have a Kånken, right? Would you recommend a binder anyway?
I would recommend a slimmer binder w/ reinforced corners!
Adorei o vídeo!! Gostava de saber como é que aprendeste a falar inglês fluentemente!? Beijinhos 😚
Is there a printable for the school calendar 0:07
Where did you bought this?
I wish that the store in the beginning would exist where I live :(
What staples was this bought at?
Onde é que compraste o bloco da Oxford??
Adorei o vídeo ❤️
El Corte Ingles!
I wish we had a staples in our town. Your would think with it being a college town..it would have a Staples.
The hardest thing with having a cardboard binder is the edges or the corners rips, can somebody tell me how to fix that problem?
Those prices are crazy expensive compared to France omg
imgladiliveineurope exactly . The plastic binder shown costs around 7€ in Germany. BTW I live near the french border and I freaking LOVE shopping stationery / school supplies in France 💕
lucky, that looked cheap to me, england's prices are super expensive
btina05 I'm moving to strasburg in semptember for college and I can't wait to go shopping in Germany because your food is so much cheaper 😂
imgladiliveineurope 🤣🤣🤣 I always like to shop in illkirch (near Straßburg) there’s a pretty big mall compared to Germany. It’s more like shampoo and makeup and that stuff is cheaper here. When there’s a holiday in France the shops in my hometown are full of French people 🤣🙈 and the other way around, of course
In Austria the plastic ones are even cheaper than the other ones, I was shocked seeing the prices
sorry for the off-topic, but your hands look so nice! may I ask what nail polish do you have in this video? :)
This is gel polish, the girl who does my nails mixes colors for me until it’s the tone I want, so I have no idea what this color/product is. Sorry!
@@mariana-vieira thank you anyway! 😊
Could u post a new study tipp video ?
Omg wait IM EARLY😂♥️♥️♥️
Can I get this binder ??
I literally have the same exact binder but i just have it as a pstel baby blue color lol
Could you link where you bought your binder?? I can’t find one like yours anywhere ):
Onde exatamente é que compraste o notepad da Oxford? Keep up the good work! 😄
El corte inglês!
Do you use one binder for many different classes or for just one?
mm 3 years later, but I recommend one for all classes
Why don’t American binders have those cut outs in front?
😄💟
Hey! miss you.
Would this binder be for one class or all your classes?
All classes :)
First comment!! Hit like if this helped u too
Where are you from beacuse this store is amazing😍😍😍😍
Portugal!
Dont get me wrong but removing the part where you say hello everyone was a really good choice
I missed it:/
*Anyone else used to a binder with three rings?*
I stopped using my binder because it only rip the papers off of it. :
Wat are u studying
Hello. What to do if pages ripped? I have 4 ring binder but this is really problem. Can you help me.
I use scotch tape.
EARLYY
Esqueço-me sempre que és portuguesa 😂😂😂
What? Leitz Binders are so expensive there? Where I live (Germany, its country of origin) they are still pricey, but still a lot cheaper and everybody uses them 😊
Yup they’re really pricey, and unfortunately they’re definitely my favorite!
The normal binders cost 2€ and the plastic once 3€ in the back to school time in our shops...
i like plastic more so...😂❤️
she sounds brazilian, r u?
My problem is that I don't really know what to write on my plastic dividers....
Saaame
Jeez school supplies in Europe is expensive, a binder in America is like a $1 to $3
Tell me about it 🙄
Yo why is everything thing so expensive? In Singapore (most expensive country in the world), a plastic binder is way cheaper than a cardstock/cardboard.
Please write a translation of Arabic,love you l’m from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
I don't know if I should use notebooks or a binder for this year (I am a senior in high school)
i use binders because that way you're backpack won't get as heavy as when you carry 5+ notebooks everyday! I do use one notebook tho, for math!
@@frieda2227 thank you so much for your advice ❤️
