'How to get the best out of your Filofax Professional System'

Sometime ago, I was sent this PDF document that came from the Time Management people at Filofax. I'm not certain of the original publication date, most probably the early 2000's judging by the inserts and the address shown on the back of the document.

Instead of extracting all of the pages as images, I am sharing with you the PDF for educational and non -commercial use as the copyright naturally still belongs to Filofax Group.

I think you will find the guide very useful and valuable in how to get the best out of your organiser.

  1. This is great! Thanks for sharing the PDF, very informative. I like how it suggests under which tab different pages should go.

  2. It's the instructions leaflet that came with all Filofax Professional systems and dates from 2003. For the full story see my post from 2015

  3. Sometimes a planner can suffer from avalanche syndrome as I call it. Too many insert choices and uses!! Just a reflection I am having on my planner set up today as I am slimming it down where I can and reviewing it. Maybe my sore throat and grotty achy feeling is making me feel avalanched today, as I am planning away, when I should really be in bed with Lemsips!!!! Loved this article. Thanks Steve. xx

  5. This is brilliant! After Tim’s post some years ago I have been looking everywhere to get my hands on these! I have James Noon’s books too. I would really love to have the dividers, but these are almost extinct as far as I can tell.

  8. Thank you for posting this. I started using a piece of this system this year - the Time Management Day to View Diary A5 inserts. It did not come with the instruction pamphlet. I need one day on two pages with lots of room for notes. I always wondered what the rest of the inserts were for that came with it. I still think it is overkill and would not be useful to me, but it is helpful to know what they were thinking. I found this quote in Julie Morgenstern's book - Time Management from the Inside Out. "Remember that no planner is absolutely perfect. . . I have never met anyone whose planner didn't have a couple of irritating shortcomings. Pick a planner you really like, customize it to your heart's content, and then learn to live with its foibles."
