Very important stationary quandary...

Well you know as important as stationary choices are... I do love a good notebook and pen. I link the inky pens... And use various versions of the Filofax for personal diary management and work.

Recently started a new job, where I'm managing (double figures) multiple companies/ accounts and it's getting a bit tricky keeping everything organised in terms of general notes and to do lists without a whole lot of rewriting.

I mean I could have a book for each but in terms of work travel that's a lot and heavy!!

I am questioning whether to move to the remarkable (but bloody hell they're expensive... And I like Filofax 😂).

Can anyone please share their tips and tricks for managing work notes if they use a Filofax or similar model? (I hate typing them up as I don't think you get the same engagement or memory of the notes as you do when you write).

Also interested to hear if it's work me trying the Remarkable when they have the 100 day refund policy if you're not happy.

Have you looked on this site?

philofaxy.blogspot.com/?m=1

It is a Filofax users site and they have dozens of examples as to how people manage their work in their Filofaxes.

I used to use one too... but it became to hard for the reasons you state so went digital for to-do lists and paper for notes.

Thank you for the suggestions.

The spelling is a sore spot for me as it's usually something that's always made fun of (when did the playground behaviour become so common place in adult chat??) but can't always be helped with dyslexia especially with phones that autocorrect. It's tough enough for me to spot it in the first place 🤦🏻‍♀️

Back to my stationERY issue...

I think I will go for something a5 like the initiative notebook that was suggested which means I can have it within a Filofax binder for my to do lists etc. and thank you for the filofaxy website, it's fab!

Think I am going to splurge and treat myself to the remarkable, with the ability to convert my writing to text (and then spell check on the computer), it will be of added benefit to me and will hopefully ease any concerns about sharing notes and possible typos/ spelling issues.

Thanks again! 👍🏻
