I enjoy watching videos on YouTube where others set up their Filofax, how they make sections to be more productive and even decorate the pages. I'm a visual person and this is how I plan. My kids are the same way.

But for me the paper planner IS the way to go. I sometimes cannot find appointments back, or there are techincal issues and I cannot look in the digital agenda. Nothing of this happens to my paper planner. I have a Hobonichi aside for note taking and other notes, but planning goes in my Filofax/VDS/Maria Spinolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303978154986186348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-36211197062446070922018-11-15T07:15:07.511-05:002018-11-15T07:15:07.511-05:00In terms of trends, I suspect it depends on when y...In terms of trends, I suspect it depends on when you are measuring from. I remember seeing a slide from the Filofax lady (sorry, remembering names is not my strong point) at last year's Plannercon Europe showing increasing stationery sales in the past few years. I think usage will be well down on what it was in the 1980s, when we all walked around clutching Filofaxes, seeing as many people Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010892860062176706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-81659936230938903722018-11-15T05:39:18.889-05:002018-11-15T05:39:18.889-05:00My Filofax Malden Personal goes everywhere with me...My Filofax Malden Personal goes everywhere with me as it is also my wallet.

But in the late ‘90’s, we had the Palm Pilot V, Palm Treo, and the Dell devices that used simple programs to keep track of appointments & contacts. Like so many others, I wanted to see if they would meet my planning needs more efficiently than Austin Lindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534516415411859375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-86541007068439508202018-11-15T04:35:18.681-05:002018-11-15T04:35:18.681-05:00My Filofax never has a dead battery or an inabilit...My Filofax never has a dead battery or an inability to connect to "the cloud"; why would I rely on anything else?Claire Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051047654791659898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-80311410327817836152018-11-15T04:33:44.838-05:002018-11-15T04:33:44.838-05:00My Filofax never has a dead battery or finds itsel...My Filofax never has a dead battery or finds itself unable to connect to "the cloud"; why, would I rely on anything else?Claire Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051047654791659898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-42062114123764524992018-11-15T03:35:35.075-05:002018-11-15T03:35:35.075-05:00Personally I use both electronic and paper planner...Personally I use both electronic and paper planners. Creatively speaking, I think you are much less constrained by paper, electronic planners are more restrictive by necessity, so finding one that is your ideal can be difficult. Loss of information, unless you have a reasonably rigourous backup schedule, for electronic methods, can also be a major issue. Using both methods is my ideal.Tom Bridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966617603003499454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-41782874193215269082018-11-15T00:56:49.964-05:002018-11-15T00:56:49.964-05:00Paper planners and note books all the way here.

The shared calendar is just there to inform others I have the appointment. I use my planner to remember the appointments. Couldn't have it any other way.
