Recently, someone commented on a 2005 post by Philofaxer, and it reminded me of what a great post it was. So since I've nothing Newie but Goodie to share with you today, I'd like to direct your attention to:

I love this post. I also "Get Plenty Done" with my Filofax without all the intense structure of other "systems." I tried Franklin Covey briefly, when it was supplied to me for free. There were so many steps and things to write and plan that I wound up spending way too much time planning and not nearly enough time doing things. I like the freedom of Filofax. Nobody telling me what to do. I'll decide, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that those who have made FILOFAX part of our lives are truly attached to our planners...in a personal, but NOT cultish, way.
ReplyDeleteSo true! I think many of us have affection toward our Filos (I know I do!) I just don't get warm fuzzy feelings from over-engineered systems. Filo is less structured and therefore can be personalized much more than a system with the "rules" already dictated.
