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 to Use a Planner regularly (Filofax)

 The most EVER useful trick that I learned in organizing space, was "have things where you need them". Even if you need them in unconventional places!

If the only one place,  where you use your planner is a toilet,  have your planner suplies there. No, I'm not going to confess that I use it there. (No, I don't want to hear your confessions that you use it there too! Yes, you could make a secret toilet planner society and invite me there).
Your planner supplies could be:
-an archive box to store your future and past planner pages, as well as blank pages,
-pens, highliters, pensils, stensils, stamps, incs,
-stickers, flags, tabs, dividers.
The best way to use them is to have them all in one tote or in one rollable cart.
I am guilty in not using an archive box regularly,  which results in loosing my past pages because I can't remember where I left them and then I'm lazy to collect them to have one proper year archive. I cannot stress enough this! Have your supplies where you need them!
In different times I used to use my planner in different rooms and places, it was my kitchen, my living room, my bedside table, my bag. And if you notice that the place where you use your planner has changed, change your planner supplies place accordingly!

No passport size dated inserts for Midori Traveler's Notebook??!!!

Since the fatal crush (http://mysummertouch1.blogspot.ru/2015/05/fatal-crush-with-my-midori-travelers.html?m=1) of my Midories, I decided to try out the PROPER setup of both Midori and Filofax together.  I have the Filofax inserts, week on two pages, which came with my two new Filofaxes, Holborn in pocket size (http://mysummertouch1.blogspot.ru/2015/02/filofax-holborn-unboxing.html?m=1), and Lockwood in personal size (http://mysummertouch1.blogspot.ru/2014/12/filofax-lockwood-review-and-comparison_11.html?m=1). I have printed the month on two pages for my pocket filifax, and will do tge same for the personal size also. I have tried to find out the DATED month on two pages for my Midori,  and I had no luck with it!
Nobody is making them for free on the Internet!  Nobody from the whole world!  I'm shoked! Including the two respected gurus, Steve and Ray! Help please!
My thought was that I could print the filofax one in a booklet format,  do you know if it's possible?

My Filofax Art Decoration Week 1/52 (Strange)


This week's decoration was inspired by one Strange Decoration on IG. Most likely she used stickers for her decorations, which I didn't want to use (my followers know that I don't like to use stickers). Instead, I used decorative scissors, and my favorite cosmetic catalog (a free one). I chose striped pink-gold-black colors, and tried to replicate the same patterns, it didn't turned out how it supposed to, but I got something that looked like leaves. I made my usual collage - put several layers one on another of the catalog's clippings, and glued it one on another (using regular paper glue). I must say, that collage makes my Filofax pages strong, and I like them more like that, I don't have to be careful with them after that! If you like my decortion, please share it and leave comments below!

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!
