Does anyone use Filofaxes or planners here?

[JoolsHoneybee]

I do have an iPhone but I just like pen and paper, is anyone the same?

I am, quite possibly, the most forgetful person in the whole world so yes, I use a planner as I'd forget everything if I didn't write it down!

I've got a new one to start in September; like this year's, it has a week to a page, a section for financial planning each month and a monthly overview each month and it also has a notes and passwords section.

What do you mean by too dependant? Interested in this lol!

Sorry meant to tag @Blowthemandown

@JoolsHoneybee - yes I have a Filofax that I use as a birthday / anniversary planner. And a wall calendar in the kitchen for appointments etc.

Without my Filofax our family life would fall apart. I could never get on with electronic calendars, to do lists etc.

It's funny really. I'm not at all a technophobe. I like having apps for all sorts of things. But I am absolutely in love with paper planners, nice stationery and writing things down! I tried all sorts of digital calendars, organisational apps etc and I just can't get on with them at all. I find them inflexible, restrictive, intangible and kind of boring. Plus writing things down helps you remember them!

I've had my Filofax since the (Yuppy) '80's - wouldn't be without it!

ps I had a Golf Gti in the '80's too! 🤣🤣

I duplicate everything on my iPhone too!

I adore my Filofax.

I have a note book where I write reminders and keep records of work stuff. Also many bits of scrap paper on my desk with phone numbers, dates and whatnot scribbled on them.

I write in pencil and always have. I enjoy writing by hand and using a pencil feels really good. There is a very pleasing smoothness to it.

I hate writing with a pencil! Fountain pen all the way for me!

I was an avid paper planner, I went through several Filofaxes and then moved over to Happy Planner, however for the past few months I've gone digital and now use a digital planner on my iPad which syncs across to my iPhone. I use an Apple Pencil dupe and it's honestly so much better. I find I use it more because I can colour code and use stickers with just two items.

I honestly never thought I'd go digital!

I love my (paper) diary, bought by a friend every single year.

I used to use a fountain pen all the time and still have a few of them, but changed to pencil as a student when I started doing a lot of note taking in lectures and it stuck.

Love a moterm planner! Currently using a hobonichi weeks, want to order a moterm planner for that to cover it :)

This is what I bought: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07XNDKDRN?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I make my own monthly planners/organizers plus I have a bullet journal, helps me stay organised and keep track of everything, I'd be a mess without them as my mind can't hold onto any important information for more than 13 seconds. I do also make notes or checklists in my phone and use several apps as it's quicker and often more convenient especially if I'm at work or out somewhere.

I keep a bullet journal in a Moleskine, plus a 2 pages per day A4 diary for work. It keeps most things under control...

@JoolsHoneybee literally got into a state or panic if I couldn’t find it within like 10 seconds, couldn’t do anything without consulting it 🤨

@Fairislefandango not for me - left handed so too easy to smudge …!

I do. Have always used a paper diary/planner for work and always will.

I've had a Filofax since the mid 80's
Tried on phone but I find it much easier on paper (e.g counting weeks ahead and to skim through the week)
Do meal plans and home stuff as well as work

I'm another bullet journal person. I generally use the cheap bullet journal dot grid notebooks from Flyer Tiger.
