To continue Friday's QR code theme, I had a look today at the Filofax website, to see what diaries are available. There are a lot of QR coded ones left. There are no 'NQR' Personal diaries left (yes; there was a special version with 'NQR' suffix to the reference code). I wonder if their market analysts will be able to figure something out from this...
ReplyDeleteI also noted that there are no QR coded diaries for Pocket or Mini. Not just out of stock, but apparently never available. So it seems there is a rather odd stance of only providing QR-coded diaries for Personal, but providing _no_ QR-coded diaries for Pocket or Mini. A somewhat inconsistent policy...

Filofax on launch said that they would not be introducing the QR codes in Pocket or Mini due to the lack of space in these smaller page sizes.
DeleteI figured that must have been the rationale. But it still makes the decision to severely limit the NQR inserts at Personal. As I said, I hope their market/sales analysts are taking note of their stock levels. Customer is King, and all that...

I also wonder if the customer is king. But I fear that they will hesitate to remove the QR codes on their inserts because they invested so much in developing an app... Maybe people will get used to it in the future ;-)
DeleteYes the app is free to download, so the only way to recoup their development and update costs is to sell the inserts with QR Codes on them.
DeleteRecently I have invested in one to do my BuJo practice. I was finding 2/3 of my notebooks became collections due to the meetings I attend for work. Filofax seems like a great solution for this; 6 dividers, dot grid paper, and a vertical calendar. This gives me the ability to have more pages but the flexibility to archive collections as needed leaving more daily logs in the organiser. I’d be interested to know what others think

I use a lot of BuJo concepts in my Filo. It works great. The free-flowing nature of BuJo is very helpful. I used to restrict myself to the six standard dividers, but now I add ad hoc dividers all the time. They're constantly changing--I use sticky notes to make the tabs so I can swap them out at a moment's notice. My younger self would be horrified at the far-from-pristine result, but to me it means I'm getting stuff done.
DeleteI am currently in the process of yet again trying to do the bullet journal method in a bound notebook, and I'm having the exact same problem as I always do: I can't function with pages mixed in together. Even with indexing and tape flags, I feel like important pages get lost and ignored when they are drowned within my daily log pages. In a Filofax, I like having tabbed sections for different topics and functions. My notebook experiment might be short lived!
