| Journal pages - thank you to Daniel |
It is time to enjoy a few blog posts from around the internet, grab a drink and make yourself comfortable for our weekly round-up.I'm yet to find any brand of diary/ planner inserts that include all the information I want, even with customisable inserts. To be fair, there is a lot of information I like to have visible in my day spaces, and some of it is very specific to where I live.
So each year I write the following details in the day spaces of my weekly planner, if they are not pre-printed:
- I write the sunrise and sunset times into each Sunday. Where I live, the daylight hours change drastically throughout the year and I like to see how much daylight I'll have, especially evening light.
- Moon phases
- Solstices and equinoxes
- The usual holidays where I live
- Cultural holidays (Halloween etc)
- Holidays in the countries where my loved ones live
- When the clocks change in my country and my family members' countries
What information do you like to have in your diary pages? Is it already pre-printed in the inserts you use, or do you have to write it in yourself?
As always on Fridays, feel free to discuss anything Filofax related!
Thanks very much again to Paul for this twenty-fourth instalment of his wonderful guest post series.
You can find all of the 'Filohax' posts here.
I don't know about you, but if you're a Filofax collector you probably have a set or two of the original Filofax A-Z tabbed dividers stashed away. You may even have them in multi colours too. I know I have, and being a traditionalist I've always quietly put the multi coloured sets away in a draw - 'for a time when I might need them'. I've never liked them myself - each to their own - but there's too much going on for my liking, too many letters, too many colours.
That is until a happy accident gave me a good use for them - or I should say one colour in particular - the red one , with the letters E and F in particular.
Because I switch my one diary and a few other sections between work and home binders, the inevitable mistake crept into the daily ritual of swapping them over and somehow the grey 'E/F' tabbed divider went missing. A mystery. A real 'Twilight Zone' moment. I was at work and the only other set of A-Z dividers to hand was a coloured set, so I clicked the red 'E/F' divider in.
A few moments passed and I suddenly realised I had created another little Filohax - in my work binder I keep Fire/Emergency protocols/info behind the 'E/F' tab, I had even previously made a red Dymo tab to highlight this important section (making it quick to find in an emergency).
In replacing the lost grey tab it was serendipitous that the tab I needed was...RED! I dare not mention this to anyone 'in the real world' as they would suggest I go 'get a life', but I think you lot will understand...
I hope you have had a good weekend.
