Its the place where I go to every day to work out what I am doing, where I should be, my TO DOs, my current work etc…. – its a one stop shop and thats why it works so well for me. I have recently been asked by a few readers how I use my Filofax, why I chose one over the other things available, and why I like it so much – so it feels only right that I should write a post all about it! I decided to get a Filofax a few years ago, and at that time was just planning to use it as a diary (as most people do really), so I got a manageable sized A5 one. TIP – work recurring tasks are in green, and household chores are in yellow so I can split them up easily – as I can then look at work only tasks in work time, and household ones in home time. There were place holders for a notepad, business cards and pens so I didn’t have to worry about carrying them separately.

My Filofax is my brain on paper – thats the only way to describe it really – as thats what it feels like (scary when I put it like that!).The diary part of my organiser is the most important part to me functioning well on a daily basis, and I put EVERYTHING I need to know about in there. Lastly – I add in anything like errands specific to a day (like sending a birthday card, a reminder to book in my next car service 6 months from last one etc….) – so that these things don’t get forgotten, are in the diary around the right time slot, and aren’t filling up a noticeboard with random bits of paper in the hope I will remember them, Filofaxes have stood the test of time and survived the digital age. They were introduced in the 1980s and are still popular today, a timeless cornerstone of personal and professional organisation! Instead of buying a new diary or personal planner every year, you can simply opt for Filofax refills and inserts. Just unclip the old paper in the ringbinder and enter the new refill for a cost-effective start to your New Year that also keeps you using a timeless and trendy diary.

the bonus I find with having an A4 Filofax is that it will fit normal A4 paper as long as its got 4 holes – so it saves on buying the branded paper all the time, which was a big expense with the smaller Filofaxes) This method works great for me, and I am planning on more updates soon so watch this space for more details! I really am a little in love with my Filofax, and with most stationary if I am being honest (its a hobby of mine to find the best there is out there for different jobs!) – and it seems that this is something that a lot of us have in common.However, I soon found that I was carrying around that plus an A4 file for my work everyday (as this of course wouldn’t fit inside the Filofax neatly). This way, anything that I need to write down each day has a place, and in theory its less likely to get lost as its all in one place. That way I can progress as much as possible each week – while knowing that I should have the time for it all so I don’t over commit – and I can see what my week has in store at a glance.

Secondly – you can see that the organiser comes with a bookmark – and I keep that bookmark on todays date – so that I can just get to today without having to do much.

So – I wanted to upgrade to a larger size that would be suitable to carry around EVERYTHING I need on a day to day basis – look good to take to clients homes and other meetings, and generally be a pleasure to use. I went searching for the right one – and found the Finsbury A4 in Raspberry Why did I chose this Filofax? I wanted something to hold a diary that was large enough to write on and easily see what I was doing ach day
