Free For All Friday No 667 by Laurie

Recently Filofax has come out with new Lifestyle Refills  designed to help you with Meal Planning, Wellness, Projects & Goals.

As any long-time Filofax user knows, there used to be a plethora of pages designed to be used in Filofax organisers. Even in relatively recent Filofax history (about 10 years ago) there were Lifestyle Packs with themes including Travel, Health, and Family and even a "City Dweller Pack." 

Sadly, those packs did not last long. Some of them were a little over-engineered, with pages that weren't really needed. But in the case of the Family Organiser pack, I would love to see those return. (For those who wish the same: Franklin Planner currently has something similar in their Simplicity For Moms inserts, and my beloved Boxclever Press (formerly Organised Mum) Family Life Book (which I've been using in the kitchen for the past 8 years now) has spiral bound pages so the pages are easy to remove, trim, and punch for an A5 binder which I and other users have done in the past.)

One of the reasons given for cutting back on their product lineup at the time was that stores had less shelf space for products, so they were cutting back to just the most popular items. (That was also a time in Filofax history where there were some ups and downs, which I'm sure was also a contributing factor to cutting back the product lineup.)

Now it seems that so many sales are online, they are able to expand their products more. 

The new versions of the Lifestyle pages are more stripped-back with what looks like fewer types of pages, but the pages they do have are more useful. 

I haven't personally used any of the new Lifestyle pages, but am very curious about them.

Have you used any of the new Filofax Lifestyle Refill pages? If so, what do you think of them?

As always on Fridays, feel free to ask and/or discuss anything ring binder organiser related!
