Filofaxes have so many
uses besides the normal diary/ address book set up. As a collector with quite a
few planners in my collection, I have the luxury of using different ones for
different purposes.
The planners I want to
talk about today are the ones I use for my blog. I have one two identical black
A5 Filofaxes which my daughter was given at a clearance at a previous firm she
worked at. I believe that they are Metropol’s but it does not say. There is a
small black embossed logo on the front of each one but it doesn't notice. (In
the front it says Filofax A5 organiser deluxe leather)
I would have liked orange
Filofaxes for my blog notes but am using what I have and have added an orange, striped
coffee cup charm to each one. They are each made from mobile phone charm cords
from the craft shop and a tiny china mug which I ordered on-line
I started with one but
soon separated into both Filofaxes as I print a copy of each post. I know it’s
an on line blog but I like to have a printed copy. That is just me I suppose. I
print on A5, punch the holes down the short side and fold over.
The other organiser is
full of notes, diary inserts of my posts and ideas. I have a Paperchase, week
on two pages diary and write the name of the blog post on the date it was
published.
Some of my blog post
ideas are on a list and some are scraps of paper half written and tucked in the
front. I sometimes brainstorm and come up with potential ideas for my rather diverse
blog. Other times I just start typing or writing and thinking about it as I go
along.
I also have an A5
personal flex in purple which I take to Nero’s coffee shop to write in. For
some reason their atmosphere is very conducive to writing. (They do a mean
cappuccino cake too)
I do have blog business
cards that I give out to people who ask where they can find the blog. These are
good for a bit of self promotion and they fit nicely into the front card slots
of my blog Filofax.
Hello Sara, I like your blog colour scheme and your writing. Did you know that the Filofax Metropol is a faux leather cover binder? Therefore the two you've got from your daughter might come of the Filofax professional line which I believe has been discontinued by the modern Letts Filofax Company. Furthermore happy writing and blogging bliss :-)

In comparison to my Midori Traveler's Notebook I love the versatility that a loose leave system offers for organising all sorts of planning and studying needs as well as for lovely hobby organisers.
