Lists and where they are in my planner (Filofax)?


After many years of using Filofax, I know well that I tend not to check any lists that I have somewhere in the back of  my Filofax. Now I have them directly in front of my eyes, right next to today page. On the picture you could see that the today page ate on the left, and the to do list is on the right. I am a highly visual person, so it works for me. Also, for the archiving purpose, I put the date that I write lists, on the top of the page. It helps to track down the to do that wasn' t done the day I wrote.
WHERE do you put your lists?

My Planneraddict' Solution for 2016 Filofax Planner Pages!

Here is my planneraddict' solution what to have in my Filofax in 2016!

I learnt that I don't do well with dated pages - I hop around in my planners a lot, so it's such a wasted money for me! I have tons of 2014, 2015 planners that lay around, and they are pretty, and I don't want to trash them because they cost a lot of  money, if you take international shipping into consideration.

There are several solutions to have planner inserts for a new year:
1. to white out dates on the previous planner pages and reuse them,
2. to print your own,
3. to buy ready made planner.

Option 3 is out for me. I decided that I'm not going to spend more money UNLESS it's is an obsession. I have a crush on the happy planner right now, and I want to buy it, but Filofax pages - I have tried them before, and it's not an obsession anymore, and I don't have to buy them right now.

Here comes the quick and easy solution to reuse these pages and to save a little bit - reuse these pages, if I'm lazy to print something, just to white out the dates. I know that I'll do it, especially if I want a Day on one Page (Do1P), it's so much easier than to print my own everyday pages, and I like Filofax day on 1 page inserts, they make more logical sence for me than Franklyn Covey day on two pages (Do2P), where the column with hours is on the right side (in the Filofax day on one page the hours are on the far left side). My rule is that I treat my tasks as my scheduled events - I schedule them to estimate how much time I need to have them done, and I don't mix them with my appointments. So, the left column is my scheduled events and appointments, and the right column is my tasks, and on the far left there are hours to glance over both columns. It make more sence to me than to have the hours in the center of the page. So the 1st option is in for me.

The 2nd option is my main option.
I make my own inserts, for now for the personal size Filofax I made Week on one Page vertical, and Week on 4 Pages vertical. I plan to make more. And I know that eventually I will be bored with them, and I'll want to switch them! So how to manage it all and not to be overwhelmed? What to have in my Filofax for 2016 as a planneradddict? In other words, HOW TO HAVE IT ALL?

I decided to print dated monthlies Mo2P and weeklies Wo1P from philofaxy for now. Week on one page just to have something dated and because they are thinner than other inserts (as, i.e., W02P) and take less space in my Filofax.

These pages are my insurance to HAVE a place to write on in the future in case I'm too lazy to print my own. I don't love them for the esthetical reasons (I'm not in love with the font! - here is my planneraddict' side singing!), and going to throw them away after they are used.

 I'm just going to use my own undated pages AND dated pages that I'll print just for small period of time. I know that I will be bored with just ONE type of insert and I know that I'm going to have time when I WILL be overwhelmed with a lot of to do's and won't open my filofax, and WILL switch the inserts to something else. It comes from my Filofax experience since 2012, when I started to use Filofax organizer. So, this is it!  I just MAKE IT WORK like that!

What is YOUR solution for 2016? Do you plan to have just ONE type of planner insert for the whole year (seriously? I admire you for your courage!), or you have another solution, knowing your planneraddict side of yourself? Is there something else that I haven't took into account??? I want to know your way of doing it!

P.S. I plan to make videos to describe how to make work different type of inserts on my YouTube chanel MySummerTouch, so, if you're interested, please subscribe to see updates: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UChkOQ59SjcPHXrPve2SS6yw

Who used ONE planner for the whole 2015 year?

In this blog post we discuss who used one planner for one year!

Well, I admit that I have not been consistent with my planners this year.
I used:
  • personal and pocket Filofax, 
  • Cousin and weekly Hobonichi,
  • standart and passport size Midori Traveler's Notebook, 
  • Bullet Journal in Moleskine and even one attempt of an A4 ARC (disc bound system).
Oh, I forgot an A5 ARC planner! 

What about you? Have you wondered around? Have you tried a lot of planners? Have you wentured into something completely new to you, like bound vs.ring bound, or disc bound vs. ring bound systems? maybe you've tried coil bound planner? I've yet to try it out in the next year! Maybe you've tried a new layout?

New Filofax Inserts for 2016?

In this post I write about my new exiting Filofax inserts for 2016!
Hello my Filofax lovers!
I have been thinking A LOT about my planner piece and what kind of planner I want for 2016. I have to admit that I MADE finally my own calendar that I have been talking about since 2013 (yes, for so long!), and I'm testing it, but it's development takes a lot of time, and I need my new inserts NOW to plan 2016 year!
What could a PLANNERNERD that have tried everything want? Of course, her own customizable inserts! I have found the perfect solution!

https://agendio.com/ sells planners and refills (and soon pdf's) in different sizes. As  a Filofax lover, I'm interested, of course, in Filofax inserts, so check them out here:https://agendio.com/customizable-planner-refills. They offer Filofax A5, Franklin Monarch and Classic, and Day Timer Folio and Desk sizes. This is the downsize - no personal size yet. And I write "yet" because they do TAKE suggestions from plannerlovers, and do consider what kind of products to offer! Yay! That's not a big deal for me now because I want to move to my Filofax A5 Calipso in hot pink for on the go planner and Filofax A5 Malden in purple for home storage binder!
But back to the main feature - customization: I was BLOWN AWAY with their different layouts and features (https://agendio.com/customizable-planner-refills/filofax-weeklymonthly-all-layouts), You could log in and play with them as much as you want! They have a feature that I haven't seen ANYWHERE before, they call it spanglets, I will tell you all about it on my video review when I get the inserts! Shortly, you could customize the layouts of weekly and monthly, colors, fonts, put the events YOU want to put (as birthsdays and anniversaries of YOUR family) (!!!), activities (which are routines that you choose to put there yourself with YOUR frequency - monthly, daily, weekly), you could coose national holidays of YOUR country, religious holidays of YOUR religion, and choose accessories as pagemarkers and detachable corners. Isn't that great??? Can't wait to receive them! I'll put a video on my YOUTUBE channel MySummerTouch, so please subscribe to watch updates: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UChkOQ59SjcPHXrPve2SS6yw http://mysummertouch1.blogspot.com
