When you travel or you are frequently away from home, do you change what type of organiser you use?
I tend towards using an A5 Zip as they can be put in and out of a back without worrying about loose papers slipping out undetected.
Do you change size or type of organiser when you travel?
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.

Here's a back-to-basics question for a Friday: Why paper?
A mobile phone or computer can store calendars, notes, documents, contacts, and lists just fine, so why use a paper organizer as well?
For me, it's about how the information is presented. With an electronic screen you can scroll, zoom, search, and follow links, but your vision is always limited to one screenful at a time.
With paper, I can scan and browse as I turn the pages. I can travel through time and space without knowing where I want to end up. Instead of scrolling up or down, I can go in any direction my mind takes me. I can see as much or as little as I want, at my own pace.
As every Friday, feel free to discuss any topics related to ring organizers!
Thanks very much again to Paul for this nineteenth instalment of his wonderful guest post series.

Decoration... for Men (or for anyone really) 😉
I've seen various conversations about should we / shouldn't we decorate our binders (especially men), and generally until recently I myself have mainly chucked in a few photos or used graphically interesting tab dividers as minimal decoration. Until I watched a YouTuber that is, talking about notebooks, and how they used 'found ephemera' as decoration (apologies, as I don't remember the lady's name).
Once I understood that ANYTHING can be used to decorate a Filofax, I realised that any found items that could be stuck onto page turners at the front and back of my binders (in my case), and can accumulate into images in their own right. In fact, I love the way that they ARE random and the challenge then is to compose the most interesting graphic from this randomness, forming meaningful (to me!) images that track my movements / interests / aesthetic sensibilities.
Here are page turners from both my work binders (Portland 5/4) and home binders (Grosvenor 7/8). In my work binder, I collect mainly stickers I find on my work travels and the same for my personal home binder.
Why not give it a try yourself?
