I use most of the inserts from the Traveller pack, as well as the Finsbury's two page week view, in order to write down appointments.<br />I would like to have another one, but I still don't know which use I Onihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648872646058155001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-15749727325553512932010-02-16T21:54:26.393-05:002010-02-16T21:54:26.393-05:00My own primary 'trusted system' for tasks,...My own primary 'trusted system' for tasks, contacts and caledar is electronic. My Filo is a 'satellite' to that. <br /><br />The problem with satellites, is they tend to grow into Orbital Battle Stations of great proportions.<br /><br />But if it's important to me, I first commit it to paper before I enter it electronically. I have notebooks that are thirty or more years old.

Would you believe it, my thickest section is on Project Filofax! I even assigned the pink refills for this project lol. <br /><br />Currently using day per page with DIY ToDo inserts in between in different colours.

My favourite is a now venerable calf-skin Burlington which has aged gloriously and my partner still uses.

By the end if the year, it was stuffed with tabs, maps, notes, addresses and... got a little bulky.

I've run into trouble in the past when I've had planning and ongoing things in multiple Filos! That led to breakdown.<br /><br />You are right, we are definitely enablers here on Philofaxy!

I think the Financial/Wallet filo can be independent. <br /><br />The work stuff can go inside the Main filo of course. But I don't want to be bothered carrying work stuff when I'm not in work mode. <br /><br />The only duplication that I can see is for work Dilailahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290691567544972430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-39656523964017222722010-02-16T07:01:29.891-05:002010-02-16T07:01:29.891-05:00Dilaila, your situation is a perfect example of wh...Dilaila, your situation is a perfect example of what to put where. I love your idea of using one pocket Filo for your wallet and everything financial! But beyond that, where should everything go? Anything dated belongs in your planner/ diary of course, but is also relevant elsewhere. Even with separate work/ personal Filos, sometimes things overlap. How much re-writing should you do?
