FFAF No. 919 by Nan

Many, if not most, of us have our little idiosyncrasies when it comes to organizer use. Here are some of mine:

1. I like to use ultra-fine-point pens in my organizers because the lines are narrower than on most writing paper. 

2. I need lines to keep my writing neat and even (ref. No. 1 above). 

3. Sometimes I buy an additional format and not use it. For example, I decide to start using weekly as well as daily, so I order a year of weeklies. When the weeklies arrive, I may no longer want to use them, but I keep them in case I decide to use it later. Case in point: I currently have 2 different A5 weeklies and one Personal weekly for 2026 so I always have that option ready to go. 

4. When I switch diary formats or sizes, I like to go back to January or July and copy over my entries onto the new pages. It may sound like a waste of time, but it helps me review my year. (Yes, I'm currently doing this going back to January of 2026.)

5. I never draw or doodle in my organizer. I don't like to look back and see messy doodling. 

6. I carry my organizer everywhere I go, except when when I go to places that limit you to small bags for security reasons. 

As always on Friday, all discussion related to ring organizers is welcome. If you're really brave, you can share some idiosyncrasies of your own!

Personal, A6, Pocket, A7 and Mini size confusion.

Can I just state these simple facts. 

  • Personal size is 95 x 171 mm
  • A6 is 105 x 148 mm
  • Pocket is 81 x 120 mm
  • A7 is 74 x 105mm
  • Mini is 67 x 105mm

Therefore, Personal size and A6 are not the same....

Likewise, Pocket or Mini and A7 are also not the same....

A6 and A7 are defined in ISO 216 details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_standard_paper_sizes

The important part of the standard, which is a bit of a long read is: 

Tolerances
    • The tolerances specified in the standard are:±1.5 mm for dimensions up to 150 mm,
    • ±2.0 mm for dimensions in the range 150 to 600 mm, and
    • ±3.0 mm for dimensions above 600 mm.
Although the sizes are similar to A6 and A7 they are way beyond the tolerances allowed in the standard to be called A6 and A7. 

Please planner people, stop referring to Filofax Pocket/Mini as A7 size.... it is not. 

I think we lost the battle with regards to Personal <>A6 long ago that ship has sailed and it causes lots of wrong purchases. 

Please don't let this happen to Filofax Pocket or Mini size as well. 

Thank you.....
