My Ideal Filofax
I have already made a video about how I invision my ideal binder. You could watch it here http://mysummertouch1.blogspot.ru/2013/07/mella-video.html?m=1.
But it was pretty long time ago. I'd like to dream about it now. Could I?
My ideal binder would be black. I like all things that look professional and business-like. Leather. Two outside pockets, one for coins, and one for cash. They need to be on the back of the outside cover, so the front cover would look clean and stylish.
The binder would have a back full lenght pocket, just like a pocket Malden has, so I could slip there a larger size paper without folding it. Yes, it means that the two outside coins and cash pockets would sit on the outside full lenght pocket. I don't know how it could be done in reality. But it should.
The strap will be exactly like a Malden's. Long and accomodating. In case you haven't seen a Malden Filofax yet, here is my review: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mWNwctqFVuM
Two pen loops, on both sides of the cover, leather on the outside of tge loop, elastic on the inside to accomodate different kinds of pens. Pen loops need to be placed on the upper third part of the cover, not in the middle, to hold pens better.
Also the size of the paper of a personal size Filofax is weird to me. I have never written about it before, but now you know my biggest dirty secret. I'm not ok with filofax paper sizes. A5 is the right size, a6 is the right size, Franklin Covey Compact size is also the right size (wider than a personal size Filofax for 1 cm or 0.5 inch).
A6 is ideal because it wouldn't let me cut and throw away the paper. I could cut an A4 sheet in four parts, and use up the whole sheet of paper, and not throw away the rest of the paper.
But I continue. The inside of the left side of the cover will have 10 horizontal pockets for business cards or credit cards (my Franklin Covey Compact binder has them on the right inside cover. So much room for business cards without buying the extra special inserts!).
Then, after the business cards slots, two vertical pockets, one after another. The first one will be a secretarial pocket to slip a bigger size paper, and the second one is a regular pocket, so I could slip a Midori passport size notebook inside.
The right side inside cover will have exactly the same pockets as a Malden. I love them as they are.
And, finally, rings. Rings are REMOVABLE. Yes, as in my review of a Filofax Folio here http://mysummertouch1.blogspot.ru/2014/07/filofax-nappa-zipped-folio-with.html?m=1.
They have to be on a separate plastic sheet and be 30 mm. So I could remove them and insert smaller rings (23 mm). And the smallest too (19mm). It make the binder rather wide to physically accomodate the biggest rings. And I need it even wider in case I need to put a regular size Midori notebook if I need it!
And the ideal size of it would be... personal, A6, or a Midori regular size (21cm x 11cm)? Rather, the last one! I like the A5 narrow size! Then I could use Midori notebooks together with a Fofax! A Frankenstein Filofax!
How do you like this idea?
Do you know a company that would make it? Gillio? VDS?

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. ..
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!

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.
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!
