I was thinking of copying the idea, but just one QR code per page, it would be just a link to Philofaxy.com just in case you had forgotten the website address. >> Test it out!
I love technology as you might have already guessed, but I don't like it when it's forced on us. Changing your organiser habits just because someone thought it was a money making idea is not a good idea.
As usual on a Friday, please feel free to discuss anything Filofax related.
My 2025 Filofax inserts have the QR code, and I really tried to use the accompanying app. But for me this has absolutely no use. Anytime I would update or add an appointment, I were urged to take a photo of the page?! Otherwise the app is out of sync immediately.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone successfully implemented the app in their planner/diary/organizer habits?
I tried it out but found integration with the Apple calendar was too limited to make it worth persevering. The small separation of the QR codes on the personal WO1P diary also meant I often ended up creating an entry for the wrong day.
DeleteTo me any classic try to blend with technology is no go. For the same reason I stopped using Filofax, I stopped using Oxford notebooks due to their corner icons on each page. Even small, just distract me from writing. Went back to Rhodia / Hobonichi notebooks. To me other very distracting element on Filofax is the multi language day / month naming on calendars taking so much space. Stopped using them as well.
ReplyDeleteI got the business dairies and they do not have this QR code thing. I am currently using the business / professional range day to a spread. Anyone know if the business / pro range is going to get them later on or is this a way to skip them (if there is a business version that suits you of course)??
ReplyDeleteI already wonder if fILOFX will ignore all the critical feedback from its customer community... and will continue QR-coding diary inserts without "drop out option". Till next year many of us will have to live with these "beautiful" black dotts on their inserts :-/
ReplyDeleteAm I right in thinking all older models were personal sized until about 1996? I have been running through filowiki on the production years tab and I can't see anything but personal or personal slimline until 1996.
ReplyDeleteI got there by looking at the various Winchesters on there as what I have read as a popular model to own. It seems a lot of people with a media presence seems to like Winchester models. Plus the reported quality drop post offshore production makes me wonder if there are any decent vintage A5 or any size other than personal?
