Guest Post: Slim Bible Models - by Hans

Thank you again to Hans for this excellent guest post about 'slim "bible" organisers. 

This is an introduction and comparison of four slim "bible" size (equal to Personal size) organisers, plus a fifth one for reference purposes.

All models are claspless, and except for the regular model, the ring sizes are 8-11mm.

Below is an angled side-by-side view.

Back to front:

•     Brelio x Nagasawa Buttero Box, 20mm (for comparison)
•     Filofax Winchester Stone Limited Edition Slim, 11mm
•     Spad Yak, 11mm
•     Brelio Minerva, 11mm
•     Raymay Davinci Standard, 8mm

Below is a bottom vew, same order, but left to right.

The bottom view does not show the actual thickness for some models, but it clearly shows the different widths.

The photo below shows a comparison of the four slim models fully opened. The silver cylinders are just the magnets that were used to keep the organisers floating at 180° open position.

The measurements are height x width x thickness, ring-to-edge, full-open-width, inner ring width; weight.

Top left: Filofax Winchester Stone Limited Edition Bible Slim, 11mm

187x123x25mm, R2E 103mm, FOW 251mm, 11.1mm rings, 200g

Top right: Spad Yak, 11mm

189x113x22mm, R2E 94mm, FOW 233mm, 10.8mm rings; 125g

Bottom left: Brelio Minerva, 11mm

186x110x21mm, R2E 91mm, FOW 223mm, 11.0mm rings; 166g

Bottom right: Raymay Davinci Standard, 8mm

180x106x18mm, R2E 91mm, FOW 218mm, 8.6mm rings; 106g

The Brelio Buttero Box has a weight of 310g, most of that due to the weight of the 20mm ring mechanics.

The Winchester Stone has a very stiff, almost plastic board like feel. The Spad Yak has a super-soft outer leather that almost feels like PU leather, it features a full-size outer back pocket. The Brelio Minerva has a medium structured leather. The Raymay Standard has a smooth outer surface with barely visible structure, and a fabric inner lining.

For me, the Raymay Standard is the winner. It is very compact, lightweight, and looks and feels robust. I would be concerned whether the Spad Yak with its super-soft outer leather is suitable for everyday use. The Brelio Minerva is a mixture of exclusive look and feel, while still being ready for daily use - but at a higher weight. The Filofax Winchester Stone might look good, but it does not feel good at all. In addition to that it's stiff, bulky and heavy. But it carries the popular name.

Feel free to comment, or ask if you have any questions.

Hans 

Thank you again Hans.

Free For All Friday - No. 911 by Anita

Whilst listening to a podcast a while ago, the guest said the phrase, "No action is too small', and this just really stuck with me. I can't remember what the podcast was, but the guest was a doctor that was basically saying that we need to be more compassionate with ourselves, and that any tiny change in our lives can start to add up over time. I think it was about diet and health in general that was being covered, but that phrase has been really helping me since then in lots of different ways. 

When I'm busier or feeling a bit overwhelmed, it can be very easy for me to look at anything and go, "Urgh" and decide to look at it later. And unsurprisingly most of the time that same email or project hasn't magically been done or gotten better afterwards! When I say to myself 'no action is too small', it helps me to start the ball rolling and on the tougher days, I might celebrate the fact that I processed three items from my Filofax in-box section... and that was good enough. I'm also aware that I need to rest, so I'm not using this just to push myself to do more though. 

Whilst I thought previously that I was good at breaking a project down, I've now realised that I might need to take a smaller action to either keep the momentum going and/or for those times when I have less energy or am busier. Instead of 'go big or go home', this feels like maybe 'what teeny-tiny step can I take whilst I finish my cup of tea?' I have the book Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg, so I think it's time that I re-read that again (not an affiliate link and just sharing as a satisfied customer). 

Are you good at breaking projects down, or have come across something helpful like this recently that you'd like to share? 

And as always on Fridays, please feel free to discuss anything organiser related. I hope that you have a great weekend.

Filofax Stores

In the last 10 years or may be a bit longer, the number of stores that have a decent range of Filofax organisers and inserts has sadly decreased. 

Filofax no longer has a stockist list on their website, where you could search by town or postcode for your nearest store that had organisers and/or inserts. 

Clearly the KaDeWe store in Berlin didn't get or read the office memo about reducing stocks! 

Thank you to Christel for this photo. 

Doesn't it make you want to start planning a trip to Berlin just to visit this store and to browse through the full range of organisers and the two racks of inserts?
