I don...I know I'm a little late with this... I don't have an A5, but as a general tip you can start with the categories your binder came with. Once you start to use it, you'll notice the kinds of things you put into your Filo and you can tweak it from there. A bunch of blank tabs and a label maker (or some other form of labeling) will be helpful for when you come up with your own sections.<WellPlannedLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639851771653623399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-77692579830350889162010-07-22T07:31:29.353-04:002010-07-22T07:31:29.353-04:00My A5 Finsbury came with the column format weekly ...My A5 Finsbury came with the column format weekly pages (3 and 4 days per page), with times and lines.

I have tried using A5 in the past, but with Time/Design zipper binders which are just too huge (extra 1" wide and 1.5" high). Now I will try with a nice black Finchley :) It looks to have the smallest H/W dimensions in the A5 range.

I have a personal Finsbury, but need a little more room. I was wondering, does anyone know which kind of calendar comes with it? It says 2010 week on two pages. But I would like to know is it the blank weeks or the lined with appointment times?

Keep It Simple Stupid (no offense). <br /><br /><i>Start</i> using the Filo for what you need, be it calendar, todo, whatever. Don't worry too much about tabs or categories or anything. <br /><br />Take everything out and add only what you really need/use.
