Enhanced Time Manager Diary Insert - Personal Size


If you have been a Philofaxy reader for more than 10 years, the above diary insert image should be look familiar. It is the Enhanced Time Manager insert that I designed in 2011 in A5 size and I've been using every year since then in A5 size. It has a had a few tweaks to the design since then but it is basically the same layout. 

You will find it as 1.5.1/1.5.2 on our Diary Inserts Page for the A5 version. 

With a bit of editing I've managed to come up with a Personal Size version. It's not identical somethings have had to go to get it to fit the smaller page size.  There is no longer the calendars at the top of the page. 

I have done two versions. One that prints on to personal size paper, the other which you can print on to A4 paper. There are pros and cons as to which version you use. 

  • The personal page version has a larger bottom margin to be compatible with most printers. 
  • The print on A4 size paper one can use the most of the page, but you then have to cut each of the pages to size and punch them. 
  • The personal size paper version only has dates at the top of the dated page, this makes the printing easier, if you have a paper mis-feed then it's not so difficult to rescue the situation without having to reprint lots of pages. 
Choose which one you like, it is up to you.

Today we are offering the source files and pre-prepared versions for 2025 ready to print. In time these will find their way in to our offerings on the diary inserts page.

Free For All Friday - No. 833 by Steve

This weekend sees the end of daylight saving time here in Europe, I know you don't change in North America until next weekend.  

As the clocks are going back an hour that should be an extra hour in bed? Well I suspect as usual that extra hour will be spent correcting lots of clocks. 

Lots of things change automatically I know, but there are still a lot of things that need manual intervention. 

I have a list! As an insert of course!! 

I do cheat... I will change a few of them the day before, ones that aren't going to be in use or visible. It reduces the task on Sunday morning. 

The insert is just a To-Do list I relabelled and adapted for the twice yearly task. I have some notes on the reverse side on how to change things that aren't at first obvious.... the cooker... enough said...

What will you be spending your extra hour on this Sunday or next Sunday? But of course please feel free to discuss anything Filofax related.

Lefax - 1992 Update Leaflet

Thank you to Gmax for providing the scans of this leaflet that answered the question about Lefax Pocket Organisers.

As usual I had to investigate that address! It is now used by VDC Trading a company that sells audio equipment, it seems there is a bit of a trend here because the office/warehouse that Filofax vacated in Burgess Hill is also now an audio equipment company.
