Free For All Friday No 679 by Laurie

I use monthly pages in my Filofax as a record of events that happened, to make it easy to reference later. I archive the year's monthly pages at the front of each year's archive binder, with the weekly pages behind. If I need to find an event, I can find it in the monthly pages and then find more details recorded in the weekly pages.

Recently I had an idea. Instead of archiving the monthly pages with the year's weekly pages in annual archive binders, what if I archive several years of monthly pages together in one archive binder. This would make it easier to find specific events if I can't remember the year. I might also like to make a small daily note of the weather on the monthly pages, to be able to compare year on year for example when weather turns cold, when snow starts, when flowers start to bloom, etc.

I haven't done this yet because it would require me digging out my archive binders and collating the monthly pages together into one storage binder. But I really like the idea of a multi-year Master Index of Events.

Have you ever done something similar, or a different method to easily index events over the years?

As always on Fridays, feel free to ask and/ or discuss anything ring binder organiser related!

Edited May 2022:

I did in fact get all my monthly pages from the past 6 years and put them together in one Filofax. It is an excellent reference, and easy to find any events I need to find more details about. At the beginning of each year of monthly pages I have a note saying where to find the corresponding weekly pages (over the years I have sometimes used Filofax weekly pages but more often bound weekly planners) and which notebooks I used for bullet journaling/ notes that year. I'm glad I did this, and I will continue to archive my monthly pages in this binder.

Pill Reminder

I have hit that age were I have to take regular medication every day.

However, did I take it... did I not take it? Ahhh my very short term memory is rubbish. Walk in to a room and I've already forgotten why I am there! Well may be not quite that bad, but you know what I mean.

Yes I can have electronic reminders for these things, but they are too easy to 'cancel' or ignore.

To combat this I created a new insert for my 'notebook' organiser, a personal size that normally sits on my bedside table. The action of taking a pill out of the packet and then striking a line through the symbol on the page seems to work.... for me anyway!

I think it's fairly self explanatory. My medication comes in packs of 28 pills, they are arranged in four columns of 7 pills. A week at a time. One lot of pills are white... the other red!

You can of course edit the form to suit your own medication numbers/colours and if you want to you can of course adjust the sizing to fit other page sizes as required.

It is available here in Word and PDF formats. Print one side then the other separately and you will save paper.

I quickly did an A6 version as well, to be printed on A6 size paper.

Stay healthy!
