A Date For Your Diary - 3 February 2019

We are going to run another conference round-table voice/video chat using Skype.

When? - Sunday 3 February at the following times:
  • London 10:00 am, 
  • Paris 11:00 am, 
  • Brisbane 8:00 pm time.
Additionally we will be on line later in the day at the following times:
  • Los Angeles 8:00 am, 
  • Denver 9:00 am
  • Dallas 10:00 am, 
  • New York 11:00am, 
  • London 4:00 pm 
  • Paris 5:00 pm etc.  
Do not worry if you aren't available at the start of one of our sessions each one lasts 2-3 hours so pop up when you are available and say hello.

Where? - an on-line chat using Skype. with voice and video (if you wish). Please make sure you have the latest version of Skype.

What do I need? - just a micro-phone and some head phones(in ear phones work fine) and a free Skype account. Using headphones or earphone reduces 'echo' on the call. Video is optional, but a few of us will be on video as well.

Who - All of you... connect up with Philofaxy and we will attempt to get as many of us linked in to the audio conference as possible. Come and listen if you don't want to chat.  What do we talk about? Filofax stuff... but anything else as well. It's like long lost friends meeting up for coffee and a catch up.. but don't worry if you have never joined in before... you are an old friend too!

If you have any questions you want to ask then please let us know in the group or before we start.

How -
  1. Connect to Philofaxy by firstly searching for Philofaxy in Skype, I will then add you as a contact.
  2. Then  'Send Contact Request',  I will then add you in to the chat room. 
  3. Then if you request it, I can add you to the audio conference as well. But if you just want to chat via keyboard that's fine. That way it's slightly less hectic for me!  
Come and join in the fun, even if you only pop in to say hello... but don't be afraid to join in the discussion.

If you need any assistance setting up Skype, please pop a comment in this post and I will try and help you get one line. Skype is free for computer to computer calls....

Here is my post on how to improve your Skype audio with headphones or a headset.

Hope to be chatting with you on Sunday 3 February 2019.

Free For All Friday - No. 532 by Steve

This year I have quite a few events and trips already planned or in the process of being planned, so my organiser is essential to stop my brain from frying!

I'm still making small tweaks and adjustments to my set up. The latest addition is a simple 'Table of Contents' for the Information and Reference section as discussed in a recent addition of the podcast. It was easy enough to create and it saves me from endlessly searching for a page or map!

As it is Friday of course you can discuss anything topics ring bound organiser related.

Have a great weekend.

Free For All Tuesday - No. 416

So what questions or discussion points have you got for us today?

It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a more experienced user of organisers, we want to hear your thoughts, questions, opinions etc.

A5 Day On One Page and Day On Two Pages Time Management Insert

By popular request I was asked for a daily equivalent of the Enhanced Time Management Weekly inserts.

Day on Two Pages - Time Management Edition



I've left blank spaces in the appointments for earlier or later times in your day.

As always you can download the source files to be able to customise the times or anything else on this insert.

You will need both the Word file and the Excel file.

To change the year in the Excel file just edit cell A2 and then save the file.

When you've made all the changes you like to the template, you can perform a mail merge to create your own insert for any period you like.

Check out our Free Diary Inserts link if you want more information on how to do this, including videos.

  • 2019 Day per page (Time Management) .docx .pdf 

You can download and print finished versions for this and future years from our diary inserts page.

If you want the pages to be 'back to back' rather than facing, just remove the blank page at the beginning of the merged file and as always print in normal direction.


Day on One Page - Time Management Edition

This is effectively just the left hand page of the day on two pages. Not everyone needs so much page 'real estate' and of course it reduces the amount of paper for a full year by half.


As always you can download the source files to be able to customise the times or anything else on this insert.

You will need both the Word file and the Excel file.

To change the year in the Excel file just edit cell A2 and then save the file.

When you've made all the changes you like to the template, you can perform a mail merge to create your own insert for any period you like.

Check out our Free Diary Inserts link if you want more information on how to do this, including videos.
  • 2019 Day on two pages (Time Management) .docx .pdf 

You can download and print finished versions for this and future years from our diary inserts page.

Once again a big thank you to Ray at 'My Life All In One Place' for his hard work and co-operation with helping to create and support us with all these inserts.
