I admit that's how I've been feeling a bit recently, so I realised that I was overdue for my monthly review of my Filofax. When I do this, I don't have an exact process each time, but it's a general tidy up, review of projects and whatever else needs doing to help me feel a bit more in control.
Something that I concentrated on more this time was to ensure that any item on my to-do list has a clear descriptive verb, so that I know what I actually need to do. For example, I've recently started to use 'look into...' at the start of a next action and am finding this very useful, especially if it's something that needs more thinking or research done.
Have you done a review of your organiser recently and if so, is there anything that you'd like to share about any tweaks that you made?
And as always on Fridays, please feel free to discuss anything organiser related. I hope that you have a good weekend.
Hi All. Only just encountered this blog. What a joy. Here's my Filofax story: I retired a couple of years ago from being a Corporate Librarian in the City of London, so yes I was part of the 80s organiser generation. I had been running a Personal sized Filofax for decades. But when I retired I put it away thinking it was a mere business tool I no longer required. Then I began to miss it and tried to start using it again. But now my life was less busy and it was simply to big. I had actually forgotten that I had an unused (don't ask) Filofax Pocket. This is now perfect for my smaller world. I have gone minimalist and only have diary and notes because that's all I need. This is the real beauty of the Filofax -- it's adaptability.
