Welcome to
Philofaxy.
If you are new to the site or you have been here for a while, this post is a way to show you around so you get the most from the site.
As you might have seen there is a lot of information on here and you might have problems remembering where everything is, so we hope to be able to help you out with how to find things to get the most out of the site.
So looking at the Home page you are on now, below the banner you will see: Home, About, Adspot etc
Home: Takes you back to the start page from where ever you are on the site, clicking on the banner does the same.
About: How to contact us at
Philofaxy and some background on the contributors.
Ad Spot: This is our readers advert page, you can place a wanted or for sale advert for your Filofax goods here free of charge. However, we do recommend donating to one of our favourite charities, but it's based on an honesty system, we don't check up on who has made donations and who hasn't. This page is great because you are buying from people that do understand the Filofax range unlike some Ebay sellers...
Catalogues: We have scans of previous Filofax catalogues with the some very old examples and most of the recent ones available in normal and high definition. See the
Catalogues page.
File of Facts: This is a book about Filofax and other brands of ring bound organisers published by Steve in 2022. You will find information about the book and buying links on this page.
Diaries: We have a large range of printable diary inserts for all sizes of Filofax organisers. The
2020 inserts are available here, with the
2023 ones also available here.
Files: This the home for all our downloadable template files which you are welcome to customise to your own needs or just print them off as they are.
Links: Links to lots of blogs and other Filofax related sites.
Suppliers: Looking for a Filofax or inserts or accessories, then this page is a good place to start.
Searching Philofaxy - With in excess of 5600 posts on Philofaxy spread over 17 years, finding exactly the information you want could be quite a task... however we do have some tools to help you:
- Search - Pop a key word in to the search box in the sidebar and the search tool will find all of the posts with that keyword in it.
- Labels - Further down the sidebar you will find the label cloud again this will find all the posts with those labels on the posts. We try to label all posts, although some of the earlier ones are unlabelled... another job still to be done!

Guest Posts on Philofaxy
We welcome people to do guest posts on Philofaxy, but they must be about ring bound planners of some type or be associated with planners, time management in some way. We do not respond to requests to post links along with guest posts about pensions, raising a family, investment opportunities in the Scilly Isles, etc. etc.... yes we get frequent offers like this in the Philofaxy in-box! If you would like to do a genuine guest post
this post will be a great help to you.
Plannercast/Podcast
We have been 'broadcasting' since February 2016, with 126 episodes published already.
The podcast is now available on Spotify and Google Podcasts, in addition to the usual sources. So what ever device or app you use, you should be able to find us. See the full list here, each one holds all of the previous episodes:
You don't have to go back to the first one, we have tried to make each one a complete episode and we attempt to avoid mentioning when it was recorded, so you can dip in to and listen to them in any order and listen to just the episodes that interest you.
We have a
Patreon page for people to be able to donate a small amount of money or more if they wish. The money helps to support the podcast team (Karine and Steve) and the money is used to pay for services we use to publish the podcast episodes as well as equipment and service updates to keep the quality of the podcast as high as possible.
We are giving Patrons some exclusive content and the ability to listen to new episodes a few days earlier than others. We will always keep them free to listen to generally. But the subscription income helps us to keep the podcast 'advert free' without advert breaks and annoying 'plugs' for non-relevant companies etc.
Thank you everyone for your continued support.
If you have any ideas for future episodes even if it is a topic we might have previously discussed please email
podcast at philofaxy dot com and the email will find its way to Karine and Steve.
That was a bit of a lightening tour around the site and some of our activities. Please do add a comment on to posts, we love to get feedback and we do read all the comments.
