Today is Friday the 13th! Some superstitions say it's an unlucky day, but I was born on a Friday the 13th so I feel they are lucky for me!
Are you superstitious with your Filofax in any way? Maybe not superstitious per se, but needing things to be a certain way or "just right." For example do you always have to have your monthly pages at the beginning of your planner and the weeks behind (like me)? Or maybe your tabbed sections always have to be in a particular order?
Do you keep anything in your planner "for luck?"
And as always on Fridays, feel free to discuss/ ask anything ring-binder related!

Single Ring Organisers
We are of course very familiar 3 ring organisers (M2), 4 ring organisers (A4) 6 ring organisers (Mini, Pocket, Personal, A6, A5) and 9 ring organisers (Deskfax) oh and not forgetting 7 ring organisers (US brands!) and 5 ring Van der Spek Mini organisers.... did I miss any?
"What about single ring organisers?"
'Single ring organisers..... We are coming up for 13 years of Philofaxy and they have never been mentioned before...... are they new then?'
"No... they pre-date Philofaxy!"
Back in September 2004, Merlin Mann shared with the internet his ideas for a Hipster PDA there are lots of variations of these about on the internet. His initial versions of these use a binder clip to hold the pages/cards together. However, I have seen versions of these that use a single ring to hold the pages together.
I will let Joe Van Cleave explain his own set up in more detail in this video:
Thank you to Karine for sharing the link with me to Joe's channel last week, she did comment that Joe was my US counterpart... I'm not sure if that is a complement or not!
Template files exist for the HPDA on DiY Planner, the site where I cut my teeth on sharing Filofax inserts!
Have you ever tried the Hipster PDA?

A6 Reversed Enhanced Time Management Insert
So here is the A6 version of the Reversed Enhanced Time Management Insert which we recently shared with you in A5 size.
To work with the smaller size, like other A6 inserts I have had to reduce the number of lines per day to three. The line height becomes an issue if you go higher than that.
We have maintained the same number of lines per day throughout the whole week.
Naturally you can easily adjust the headings, shading, fonts etc to suit your own needs/requirements by editing the source file and redoing the mail merge.
Source Files:
To customise the files you will need to download the relevant source files listed above. When you've made all the changes you like to the template, you can perform a mail merge to create your own insert for any period you like. Check out our Free Diary Inserts link if you want more information on how to do this, including videos at the bottom of the page.
Once again a big thank you to Ray at 'My Life All In One Place' for his hard work and co-operation with helping to create and support us with all these inserts.

Source Files:
- A6 version - Word file and Excel File (you will need both)
Note to change the year or the 12 months covered you just need to edit cell A2 of the Excel file.
Merged Files:
When printing note these files are formatted to be A4 page size, to print on to A6 paper scale to fit (50%)
This version will be known as the 'Reversed Enhanced Time Management' insert by virtue of the positioning of the appointments section on the opposite page.
