Dates for your diary Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 September 2026

We are going to run some more 'Virtual Meet Ups'.

When? - Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2026 at the following time:

• San Francisco 08:00 am,
• Costa Rica 09:00 am,
• New York 11:00 am, 
• London 4:00 pm, 
• Paris 5:00 pm,
• Budapest 5:00 pm.  

Join in on both days if you wish. 

Do not worry if you aren't available at the start of the session each one lasts 1-2 hours, so pop up when you are available and say hello.

Where? - an on-line chat using Signal. with voice and video (if you wish). If you aren't already in our participants list you need to contact Philofaxy before you come on line on the day of the chat. You can do this at any time. Please try to ensure that your Signal user name is the same as your actual name this will greatly assist in us being able to add you to the group. 

 

What do I need? - just a micro-phone and some head phones(in ear phones work fine) and a free Signal account. Using headphones or earphone reduces 'echo' on the call. Video is optional, but a most of us will be on video as well.

Who - Serious organiser users only.  We are no longer able to allow just anyone to join these chats due to the disruption caused by fake profiles on previous chats. You also need to be known to us in some way or other before we will permit you to join the chat. 

If you need any assistance setting up Signal, please pop a comment in this post and I will try and help you get one line. Signal is free for computer to computer calls....

Hope to be chatting with you on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2026

Free For All Friday - No. 931 by Anita

Do you ever look at the contents of your organiser and go, "Urgh"?

I admit that's how I've been feeling a bit recently, so I realised that I was overdue for my monthly review of my Filofax. When I do this, I don't have an exact process each time, but it's a general tidy up, review of projects and whatever else needs doing to help me feel a bit more in control. 

Something that I concentrated on more this time was to ensure that any item on my to-do list has a clear descriptive verb, so that I know what I actually need to do. For example, I've recently started to use 'look into...' at the start of a next action and am finding this very useful, especially if it's something that needs more thinking or research done. 

Have you done a review of your organiser recently and if so, is there anything that you'd like to share about any tweaks that you made?

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