I know what you mean! I am using my vintage Filo as my wallet cuz I love to hold it in my hands! My FC is my brain, but my Filo is my heart :-) And I can't wait to read about your handmade planner.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372390763777474988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-41504237248440825902011-01-18T15:34:49.616-05:002011-01-18T15:34:49.616-05:00PS Laurie I use post its so they can be moved arou...PS Laurie I use post its so they can be moved around easily as I need to be able to see my week on 2pages at a glance!caribbean princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01732674178611729478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-45701069865660042322011-01-18T15:33:33.887-05:002011-01-18T15:33:33.887-05:00Oh just catching up on blog comments.

I do use large post it notes and write all my to dos for the week on that. I have to admit that I enjoy crossing out the tasks as they are done!

I have been known to use a Personal size page, so I can still see the week (on A5) underneath, Amanda Fleethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838595882535434260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-43694053635504091392011-01-17T06:10:14.042-05:002011-01-17T06:10:14.042-05:00CP, I just read through your Adelphi post on your ...CP, I just read through your Adelphi post on your blog (again), but there's not much detail on how you use your week on 2 pages diary insert. I'm curious how you manage such a busy schedule with small daily spaces. Do you only write appointments into the day spaces and keep your to-dos someplace else? Any tips or advice you can give me for using the WO2P during busy times would be Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-12878160548734989602011-01-17T05:11:33.859-05:002011-01-17T05:11:33.859-05:00Very perceptive Jess!

I found out that it is extremely likely that we will have yet another international move this year (already!!!). And in times like these, I tend to turn to my Filofax. Will it be able to handle the move-planning load?? The answer is, probably yes as long as I'm normal about things andLauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-81870723147303803242011-01-16T18:40:22.283-05:002011-01-16T18:40:22.283-05:00I just don't leave home without my Filo.

Of course the way to avoid that is to keep it with me constantly, duh!
