Free For All Friday - No. 891 by Anita

When I'm off over the Christmas period, I always have my normal clean and clear out of my Filofax. As part of the process, I consider what has worked well and also about what changes I might want to make for the coming new year.

Something that I have been doing more of in 2025 is using ad hoc trackers for habits and projects, like the one below for my current 100 days of meditation. I use my Hobonichi stencil and find that it's the quickest and easiest way for me to create a tracker as and when I need one. I find that this can work well for projects, such as when I'm working through a backlog of something, and want to keep track of where I got to or how often I'm working on it. In those cases, I'll often just use the stencil to put tick boxes on a sticky note and have that on my dashboard or a divider for quick access. These trackers are working really well for me, so I will definitely be using them on a more regular basis during 2026.

Do you use trackers in your organiser and if so, how do you do this?

And as always on Fridays, please feel free to discuss anything organiser related. I hope that you have a great weekend.

Using a Filofax with a disability.

I get some interesting questions in our email in-box. This was one such email from a reader.

They love using a Filofax organiser, but due to a slight disability in their hands they find the tabs very hard to operate to open the rings.

We all know that you shouldn't tug the rings open with your fingers, this can lead to ring gaps on one pair of rings or more, so it isn't really an alternative method to using the tabs.

If you look in detail the tabs as they are pushed down, push up on the two ring halves to open them. Sort of a 'see-saw' action. Simple but effective, but there's no way to make it easier to push down, unless you welded a longer piece of metal on to the tabs to increase the leverage, but then the tabs would stick out of the Filofax, so not really desirable.

Looking at the Filofax 'Clipbook' The ring mechanism used doesn't have tabs. To open the rings you pull the covers apart. This works because the rings loop through the cover and as you pull the covers apart with the Clipbook open it applies an even pressure on each ring halve to open it.

My first suggestion was to adapt this idea for normal Filofax organisers using plastic dividers punched and inserted in to the pages and then pull them apart to open the rings. But you would be griping a fairly thin bit of plastic and you would have to grip it quite tightly for it to work.

Next, I suggested looping cords around the rings so again you could pull them apart easily. This might work, but there might still be a risk of the top and bottom ring pairs being strained.

If you pulled from the central part of the loop as well as the part that emerges from the top and bottom of the rings then that would even out the pressure a bit. (I've not tried this yet!)

Do any of you have any better ideas on how to solve this problem. Please comment below if you do.

Thank you.
