Free For All Friday - No. 770 by Anita

Whilst clearing out some old emails the other day, I found my order confirmation for the purchase of my very first Filofax, which was bought in August 2009! I have no idea why I still had such an old email, so it got deleted straight away, but I'm glad though as it was inspiration for this Free For All Friday post.

Back in 2009, I'd never heard of Philofaxy (shocking, I know) and started looking at Filofaxes as I'd recently read David Allen's Getting Things Done book, so was looking for something suitable to house my GTD set up.

So, towards the end of August 2009, I was the proud owner of a cherry personal Classic. If I could go back in time and give myself some advice, this is what I'd say:

Please don't buy the Classic as it will never lie flat, and will also suffer with the known issue of bubbling/cracking of the leather coating after 10 months of gentle use.
Don't buy your first one until you've spent some time on Philofaxy as it's a wonderful resource.
Don't sell your Kensington! I've bought and sold many binders over the years, but I've only experienced real seller's regret with the Kensington. However, thanks to Deb's kindness it made its way back to its forever home with me in 2020.

What advice would you give yourself, if you could go back in time before you purchased your first Filofax?

And as always on Fridays, please feel free to discuss anything organiser related. I hope that you have a great weekend.

Filofax Personalised Diary Inserts

Filofax UK have recently announced their own Personalised Diary Inserts.

At first viewing I didn't think there was anything different about these compared to their existing range. However, I took some time to look at what they are offering in detail and I was pleasantly surprised.

On the positive side of things:

You can choose the colour and the weight of paper that the inserts are printed on;
They are only in English, not multi-language;
You can start your year on any month;
Saturday and Sunday have equal space as Monday to Friday;
You can have the public holidays for more than one country;

There are other small advantages that I'm sure people will like.

Unfortunately these are only available on the Filofax UK at the moment.

They are only available in Personal, A5 and A4 sizes. It's a shame they haven't included Pocket size as well.

The Filofax 'Day to View' appears to be a Day on One Page, not a Day on Two Pages.

I'm also concerned that they will continue to keep these available, they have previously had specialised diary insert collection (Filofax Enthusiasts Collection), but they discontinued them within a year.

I might be tempted to order a set of these inserts for Personal size, the price is very reasonable and I could get them delivered to my son's address in UK to avoid silly delivery + tax costs.

Take a look you might be pleasantly surprised, they are a welcome addition and at a sensible price.
