La Rentrée (Back To School)

Here in France all the schools go back on the same day, no matter where they are in the country. 'La Rentrée' (Back to School) is also seen as a big return to work as well as a lot of businesses close their offices for part of, or all of August. 

The roads here in August are either deathly quiet or totally crazy! Best avoided if possible.

I have already ordered and received my Quo Vadis Daily 21 bound planner that I use as a daily journal, I've been using the same model for the last 12 years! The paper is excellent and takes fountain pen ink with no issues. Therefore why change. 

September is also the time of year when I start to think about printing my inserts for the next year. 

I like to get my inserts printed well before the end of the year because events and appointments for the following year start to appear on the calendar, so I like to get them in to my organiser before I get double booked with something else. 

I'm 99.99% certain to be staying in A5 page size. I want to test out one of our new inserts compared to my usual Enhanced Time Management insert to confirm which one I will be using next year. 

Either this one


Or....my old favourite. 


Take a look at the Philofaxy Diary Inserts Page if you haven't made up your mind yet. There are lots of different inserts for 2024 there that you can just download and print, or modify and print yourself. 

You will find inserts for 2025 available here too.... and soon 2026!

  1. Hi Steve, even though I do not print my own inserts, I would like say a big "thank you" to you and all others involved for all the effort you put into preparing the diary inserts as well as all the other inserts.

    I use Personal size and that's a format, one cannot easily print oneself: Most printers (in fact I do not know any) do not like ready-cut paper in this size, at least if printing double-sided. If printing double-sided on A4 or Letter paper, front and back often are slightly displaced to each other, so cutting to Personal size can lead to a mess, because of the small format, one only left a very small margin. If you are done cutting, you see, a very small margin was too small, and you cut some information off....

    So I ordered new inserts for 2024 (Chronoplan one day on two pages) as soon as the became available, which was early May. As these come with a somehow sturdy cardboard box, a lot of useful inserts and some lined and squared paper, I am not only prepared for the next year but also equipped with a box for archiving my diary pages.
