I know when I was working these last few days before the holiday break were either mad crazy busy with lots of last minute work coming in to be signed off, reports to be peer reviewed to get them 'out the door' before the end of the year......... or deadly quiet, especially between Christmas and New Year, if it was the later I used to make good use of the time to up date my Filofax and get it all prepared for the start of the New Year.
What routines do you go through with your Filofax to prepare it for the New Year?
But as always as it is a Friday you are of course free to discuss anything Filofax or Ring Bound Organisers related....
I had a "lightbulb" moment... I will use my A5 Clipbook as my Bullet Journal for 2020. So I will be spending the rest of the year setting it up.
ReplyDeleteWe have inserts you can download, print and use. See this post: https://philofaxy.blogspot.com/2019/05/bullet-journaling-in-your-filofax.html
DeleteBeen a very busy year as usual, work-wise....even now....but will quiet down over the next weeks and thus will take off most of the days during this period.
ReplyDeleteAlready ready for 2020 as I designed and ordered custom inserts from Agendio. They make high quality inserts on high quality paper. First change in some years as I've been using Time/System inserts, which are great too. Just felt like making a change and Agendio offers an incredible amount of design flexibility to make inserts the way you want.
Happy Holidays,

Hi Nark. Sounds like you're impressed with the Agendio inserts. I've tried it once or twice but got 'lost' in the process of ordering. I too have been using TimeSystem inserts but had to stop for 2020 due to their ultra-slow customer service which meant I didn't receive my annual pack before this planning season. Very frustrating. I've got some Kikki K inserts to tide me over until I find a suitable alternative to TS, and Agendio would be my first choice if I could just crack their infernal ordering system......
DeleteHi David,
ReplyDeleteOverall, yes....
My only issue is how they locate the monthly page spread into the midst of the weekly pages near the end of the month, instead of after the end of all the weeks for a given month, and then start the next month of weekly pages. Hard to explain in words....but problem is they didn't print the weekly pages as a set and the monthly pages as separate two page sets. It is like a continuous flow of pages; weekly then monthly, then weekly for the next month.
However, unless the 1st of the new month falls on a Sunday, you have the first week of the month that spans two separate months (like February/March).
So, you have weekly pages for the last full week of February, then March Monthly pages, then weekly pages for the beginning of March, but it includes a few days of the last days of February too.
I asked Agendio about this after receiving inserts. They said that having the monthly pages on separate pages from weekly would mean mean using more sheets of paper.
If the way they did this is OK with you, then great. If not, I would email them about the way you want it and see if the will do it that way for you.
If I order from them next year, I will verify my options regarding weekly and monthly pages before re-ordering.
There's no doubt that there are a lot of choices with the Agendio custom system. I did a mock up and then saved it. Then came back to it another day and reviewed it and made some adjustments and saved it again. Came back to it a few days later and did one more review, then placed order.
Their preview system is quite good.
Hope this helps.
Hope you can visualize this...
Best,
Mark
