Philofaxy Diary Inserts - Year Calendar

I've had a couple of requests for these. They aren't created in quite the same way as our other diary inserts so please pay attention to the explanation. 

These are created from an Excel file. You can print them off directly from within the file. Or copy and paste them in to Word as the cover page for your existing diary insert. 

With the Personal size calendar you might have to tailor it to fit with your printer when printing on to Personal size page. This is because of the size of the bottom margin required on some printers. 

In 2022, you could remove the bottom row of July, August, September as there is nothing in those days. In other years you will find a clear row like this possibly in other months depending on the start day of the year etc. 

The one Excel file covers A4, A5 and Personal size just different tabs of the file, just enter the year in B4 of the 'Front Page' tab in the Excel File and then look at the other tabs for the size of your choice. 

As ever thanks to Ray at "My Life All in One Place" for sharing his knowledge with us.

Free For All Friday No 687 by Laurie

I wrote the date for this FFAF into my Filofax back in October 2020. Steve set the posting schedule for 2021 then, and included this week's FFAF. 

Back in October 2020 as I made a note that I would be the one writing this week's FFAF, I wondered what the world would be like now. 

At that time, the UK was in the beginning of its "second wave." That was before the Alpha variant, which was more transmissible than the original virus, and Delta variant which was even more transmissible than that, were widely circulating. It was before the vaccines were available, and there was a lot of uncertainty at that time.

We have all been through a lot since then. Vaccines are widely available in many countries, but still not in other countries. The current prevalent variant is Omicron, and there is a lot we still don't know.

I apologize to everyone who prefers to keep their planner hobby free from depressing current events. I know I use my love of Filofax and other planners as an escape.

But I couldn't pass up this opportunity to reflect on what has happened since October 2020, as I wrote "FFAF 687" onto my Filofax page for Friday January 7th, 2022. I nod to my past self and reflect on all the things I didn't know would happen. 

I would love to write something about being able to weather adversity and hold onto optimism, but the reality is I have just been holding onto the side of the raft as we all thrash through the rapids, waves swirling around us, glimpses of sky as the valley walls flash by. Uncertainty is still my prevalent feeling.

I have written into my Filofax that the last FFAF that I will be the author of this year is scheduled for December 9, 2022 (FFAF 735). I wonder what the world will be like then, and what we will all have experienced by then. I hope we will all have a better year this year.

As always on Fridays, feel free to discuss anything Filofax related.
