How Filofax helps - two years experience

I came to my mom's house, where I haven't been in two years, and I found a ring binder in a personal size. I forgot about it completely.  And I forgot about my goals and projects that I've written two years ago and left inside of this binder, at my mom's house, miles away from me. It meant that I couldn't look inside the binder, I couldn't remember what I have written, I couldn't look it all up to remind me what I wanted to accomplish!

I was astonished.  Goals that I couldn't even imagine how to start and where to have a starting point, let alone how to finish/accomplish them, that's how unrealistic they have been for me, almost all of them, have touchable, real, finished boundaries, they are clear on how to make them happen now!
It also was a good check on what I unconsciously  considered was worth to work on, and what wasn't.
That was the point when I started to use my filofax again. A little bit later, I made another "eurica"moment.  While I was writing in my Filofax, I realized how I was lacking rings! I could write each of my project and goal on a SEPARATE sheet of paper,  and leave it like that to work on it later. For some unexplainable reason, it didn't work in my Midori Traveler's Notebooks! Probably, the physical boundaries of the bound notebook has kept me from writing out each and every project tgat I wanted to do. I was afraid to use up the notebook, the I would needed to rewrite them all again! And I needed to reshuffle pages in order to organize them in  a logical order!
What I did right after that  was cutting the pages for my filofax. A lot of them.  Damn, I don't let paper to dictate me what to write and how to write!
P.S. I didn't stop using my Midori Traveler's Notebook, I use it for my journal writing! Filofax is good for planning and goals and projects setting, and Midori is good for journal writing because I need a lot of pages for it and rings prevent me from writing on the left side of pages!
Now I'm happy!

How a Plannerneard goes to a Vacation.

If you follow me on my blog, and check out my photos that I post almost every day, you have noticed that I have posted very different photos lately. That's because I am on vacation.  And you should have seen me packing!
I am a plannerneard (like you don't know that already (don't you?). I live and breathe planners. I can't live without them. I sleep with them. I journal in them. I have all kinds of them. Every size and color... well..  not every color... but almost. ..







So what have I chosen to go with me? Well, first I have decided that I take just a passport size Midori with new notebooks and Hobonichi Weeks with me. It doesn't weight a lot, and portable. I could journal on the go, which I did right on the board of the plane. 

Then, I thought, what if... only if.. this is not going to work out, and I will absolutely need more space?
And I took my standard size Midori Traveler's Notebook. Without notebooks.  Because it's very easy for me to make them.  I just need to buy an A5 graphed notebook and cut it to the size!
Then I remembered that I have even a bigger Midori. An A5 size. It's not a real Midori, because a Midori doesn't have this size,  but it's just the same, only wider! And I love it! And it's even more space than a standard size!
Then I decided that I couldn't do without a Filofax. It must be a pocket Filofax. Because it's pretty.  It's Crimson. And Malden. And it's small and portable!  Oh, I can't do without it!
And I took it with me.
My heart was almost content. And then I thought about my aqua. Malden. How could I leave it behind? What if I suddenly have an urge to use it? It would be a catastrophe!
And what do you think?  Have I left it at home?  Of course,  not!
Well, to my defend, I am actually using it right now. With another ring binder. Not a filofax, but a personal size too. I'm not going to post a picture of it here. Search it on my blog!
P.S. Do you think that I am content now??? 
I actually think that I'm nuts that I left my pocket Holborn Filofax and my A5 purple Malden and personal ochre Malden!
P.P.S. It's not easy to be a plannernerd!

My Filofax Art Decoration Week 52/52 (Christmas!)

I haven't decorated my Filofax in a long time, several weeks, excluding November pages in my pocket crimson Filofax, that I shown in my "Planner  Addict Tag" video, and the day after Christmas I felt the urge to do it, and are very happy with the result! I hope you like it too!
It is a little collage out of a cosmetic company catalog, which are great for that kind of decoration. No washes and stickers used! Gold and pink theme, which turned out as a pretty "partners" together! I need to remember this color combination! Sometimes I discover these kind of color combination just by trying out. This time it worked out!
I used decoration scissors for the borders, Rapesco 6 hole punch for the right page, regular scissors,  and a  regular glue, nothing really fancy!
Have you decorated your pages? Please, leave links to your pictures below! I'll be happy to see them all, always great to see PLANNER eyecandy! :)

If you like Filofax, Gillio, Van der Spek, Franklin Covey or binders in general...

...then you should like this bag! I considered buying it, but decided not to do it! Would you buy a bag that looks like a Filofax? We need to give this idea to Gillio or another company that sells custom made binders!

How Tameka David uses MySummerTouch' s Routine Templates in her Filofax

Some time ago on the Facebook group  Planner Peace I stumbled upon a post by Tameka David's beautiful Soho Filofax (Click on the link). Guess what she uses to track her routines?  My templates that I have linked to in one of my videos on my Youtube channel MySummerTouch  You could see the pictures of this post below. 










My idea was to collect all routines into one place.  Tameka uses her morning and evening routines,  as well as  her work routine (daily routine),  and weekly routine,  (with GTD review),  I haven't seen monthly and annualy review,  but they are there.
She uses a separate tab for all of these routines. She promised to make a video on her system on Youtube soon.
I am myself use a modified version of this table. I group to do's by categories and make sure that I look at them every time I open up my Filofax. I have made my own inserts with them,  if somebody wants them,  I will make them available on etsy shop. So please post comments below or on Youtube if you're interested!
