Talking on Twitter, a lot of us struggle with the weight of our Filofax organisers. So my idea was born. A heavyweight contest! Now, I don't have any prizes, this is all a bit of fun as I realise that this can be easily rigged ;D
Anyway, all you have to do is send in a picture of your Filofax organiser on some weighing scales with the weight clearly showing. You can do this through a Flickr group (already created - Filofax Heavyweight Champions) or you can email me your picture and I can upload it :-)
Rules:
- only weigh your main Filofax that you use (but feel free to weigh others - just specify which one is your main)
- don't add any extras to it - be as honest as possible; after all, this is just a bit of fun
- you have until November 14th to get your entry in and the winners will be announced on November 15th.
- I know it won't necessarily be fair as we all use different sizes (Compact, A5, personal, pocket, etc) which is why there is no physical prize.
- you don't have to weigh a Filofax - if you use a binder of another brand, feel free to weigh that as your entry
Here is mine to start us off ;D
I'm currently using my personal Osterley (though I have moved some inserts into my Deco, which, for the time being is used as my 'away from home' binder) and here is how much it weighs:
Couldn't find the digital scales so had to use these old-ass analogue ones.
About 520g! My shoulders must be strong as an ox to have to carry this bad boy around in my bag every day. Which is why I will be slimming down to a Slimline :)
How heavy is yours? Upload it to the Flickr group and post a link here or just, stealthily, upload it ;)
Maybe have one winner for each category.... about to weigh my compact...
ReplyDeleteThat's probably a good idea. Will see how many people take part first :) x
DeleteGreat Idea. I use a holborn personal in Wine as my everyday filofax. It has 486g.
ReplyDeleteJust saw your upload. 486g is still a ton to carry around everyday! x
Deletehttp://i47.tinypic.com/311ngg1.jpg Read it and weep! ;) It varied between 591g and 590g.

Whoa! Do you mind me saving the first one and uploading it to the Flickr group on your behalf? :) it makes it easier for me to keep track of the different weights for when I announce the winner ;) x
DeleteYeah sure! :) It's a personal red metropol, let me know if you need any other info or pictures ;) x
DeleteOh, my Deco is really heavy....
ReplyDeleteWow!! Would love to know what you've got in there x
DeleteMy personal Holborn is about 400 grams - and the Franklin Covey Classic I used for a short time is about 800! Photos are on the Flickr group :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa! 800g! 400g sounds a lot easier on your shoulder, esp. if you carry it everywhere hehe x
DeleteMy personal Malden is 632g (That includes 4 pens that live in there)
ReplyDeleteWow!! It must be stuffed! x
DeleteMy A5 Malden in normal running mode, weighs in at 1085 grams including a couple of pens!
ReplyDeleteMy Franklin Covey compact is 1.15 pounds or 667 grams.
