Free for All Friday No. 672 by Nan

Do you use a Filofax as a wallet? Ring-bound organizers can hold a lot more than just paper: plastic holders for credit cards, business cards, photos, receipts, and cash. They often have lots of pockets inside the covers to hold things as well.

You can have a hybrid organizer-wallet, where you have your calendar and notes along with credit cards and other necessities. Or you can have an organizer that's just for carrying daily needs, as I'm doing now. It can get bulky, but I always have whatever I need.

Of course, since it's Friday, all organizer-related discussion is welcome!

Planning for 2022?

After what has happened over the last two years, I've been cautious to say the least about trying to plan much more than a few weeks ahead of time.

However, after writing about diary inserts for 2022, it sort of got me thinking about the coming year. I therefore downloaded my insert of choice from Philofaxy... naturally!

I then added my own information to specific dates like key birthdays and public holidays for UK and France. Then I went to print them out.

Stumbling block number one.. since MacOS was last updated 'Booklet Printing' seems to have go AWOL for our HP LaserJet printer. Looking on the HP support site this has been reported for a host of other printers as well when using both Windows 10 or MacOS Big Sur.

I didn't think to try Windows 10, may be another time. I resorted to using an older iMac I still have which isn't up to date, but it still works. After a slight delay whilst that came to life, but it printed out the file to the printer without any issues... phew...saved!

I cut the pages in half and punched them, then for a fancy finish I also used my corner cutter to round the page corners.

With nothing immediately to plan in 2022 I've put them in to my Filofax Chester A5 Compact, even though it only has 15mm rings, it takes a full 12 months of week on two pages easily with capacity for any additional pages I need.

When do you get your inserts ready for next year?

Creating Diary Inserts

"Creating diary inserts is easy".... said no one!

Well it is if you have done it a few hundred times like Ray and I have.

As we are no longer creating merged files for all of the whole range, you might have to create your own from the source files which are still available.

Firstly check the current list to see if there is a merged version of your desired insert. If there is download and print in the usual way.

If not then scroll down the page and you will find the older versions.

Here is a simple flow chart on how to create a diary insert with the older versions.

That might be a bit small to read, so you can download a PDF of it here.

On the same page, you will also find video tutorials for different versions of MS Office. Our files only with with Microsoft Office because we use a mail-merge process to create the finished files from the date information contained in an Excel spreadsheet.

Diary inserts for 2022 are now available with inserts of for 2023 and 2024 also available here. You will find instructions on using the new style files there too, it's only slightly different to the above.

If you are still struggling to create a file from the source files, then please drop a comment below or contact Steve via email or via social media.
