Filofax in films and real-life

Spotting a Filofax organiser in a film or TV series or in real life is always good fun. 

Our dear friend Janet (This Bug's Life) has been 'collecting' these spots in films and TV series for years. There isn't a month that goes by without someone sharing one they have seen. 

You will find her collection here: The ultimate compilation of films featuring ringed organisers (updated Nov ’24)

Keep looking out for them in films etc. 

Now the second type of sighting is a difficult one.... What do you do if you spot someone else using a Filofax in real life? 

I have seen a stranger in a cafe/bar with their organiser on the table here in France and I was tempted to go over and introduce myself armed with a Philofaxy business card, but I chickened out! 

I was once spotted in real life waiting to board a tube train in London, and a guy who was getting off the train said 

'Are you Steve Morton?' 

"Yes I am" 

'Yes you are just like on the podcast' 

Then  he was gone and I had got on the train thinking what just happened! But it was quite amusing thinking back to it now. Matthew emailed me later that day!! 

I hope if anyone else sees me who recognises me that we get to have a longer chat! 

Do you spot other Filofax users?

Inserts for 2027, 2028 and 2029

I have finally printed off and had my 2027 inserts cut professionally. They look great.

On Philofaxy I've been doing some rearranging and promoted the 2027 diary inserts to the current diaries page. The 2026 inserts are still available on that page, just scroll down the page past the 2027 listings. 

I have also created the inserts for 2029 you will find them along with the 2028 inserts on our Future Years page here on Philofaxy.  

We do keep previous years inserts as well, but only as far back as 2025. You will find those on the past years page. However, you can create any year you wish using the source files. 

Have you decided what layout/size you are using next year yet?
