Reader Question: The Filofax f



When did Filofax start to put their f logo on the spine of their organisers?

It was before 1999 as far as I can tell, but does anyone have a more accurate date/year?

Free For All Friday No 591 by Laurie

I use A5 exclusively now, but I still have a stockpile of Personal size pages from my years of using Personal size. I like to use Personal size pages in my A5 Filofax for a variety of things. (If you fold up the bottom corner of the Personal size page, it fits on the A5 rings.)

I still use my original monthly info pages from when I used Personal size binders. I have a blue Personal size page for every month with important dates for that month: birthdays, insurance payments due, and other reminders. I write these in pencil so I can update them when needed, and I move them from the current month to that month in next year's diary to have a perpetual reference every month.

I also like to use Personal size pages between my A5 weekly pages for extra space for lists or notes, or if a particular day needs more space. This allows me to keep these pages within the relevant week without obscuring my weekly view.

Have you come up with any other tricks for your Filofax pages?

As always on Fridays, feel free to ask/ discuss anything ring-binder organizer related!
