Do you have a Filofax and if so, does it improve your life?!

Or at least help with organisation and look nice at the same time!

I think they’re having a resurgence and I’m tempted. I like to ‘think in ink’ - well, write my to do list down and put stuff in a diary … online stuff has its place but I need a planner as it’s how my brain works

Anyway I currently have a nice papier planner but I’m tempted by a personal sized leather Filofax in the shade ‘currant’ and wondering if I should go for it? I spend 30 quid a year anyway on a disposable’ planner so here I am trying to tell myself it’s a bargain

so do you use one still or will I look like a relic from the 80s / 90s?

@MadisonAvenue I considered that one too! But the limited edition sakura won in the end … had to stop myself at 2 Wrens though when I caught myself about to order a blueberry coloured one.

They’re so tactile and nice though!

The Wren doesn't look like a traditional pen nib. I need to browse a lot more or find my 50 year old engraved fountain pen, which is hiding somewhere in this house. When I was a teen, I used to write in violet coloured ink.

Back in the day - I absolutely loved my filofax and time manager. I am now retired so the need for such things is not there. I do however have a journal where I record my thoughts and plans for the week. It allows me to keep my thoughts and plans in one place.
