Anybody love their Filofax or similar?

I am looking to move away from the electronic and phone based diary and to do list system. I am sure I'll still need them but I need some paper in my life again. I've decided I am not a bullet journaller but I might get on with a filofax or similar. I think it leaves lots of room for creativity and flexibility but more practical for me than bujo. I'm thinking an A5 size.

Anyone love their filofax?

I love mine & use it every day. I have an A5 one in gorgeous red leather. I just like to write things down. With a real pen. And I have lots of different types of pages for every situation. I'm not a creative bullet journal type but the filofax works really well for me.

What actual planner do you have? I am in the market and really enjoying researching all the different types and hearing what people like about them. :)

I used to have a Filofax when I worked out of the home. Now that I'm a SAHM to lots of kids, I use the diaries and calendars from Organised Mum (although they're called Boxclever Press now). They have lovely diaries, calendars, shopping lists, meal planning, stickers - everything you could wish for!

I've just ordered my A5 Filofax. I am sooo excited.

I love my Filofax!

Sorry, missed your question yesterday. Mine is the Filofax Classic. It might not be available now, I've had it for years.

I ordered the Malden A5. The Whsmith outlet shop on ebay has some verrrry good prices.

I've had one for years, didn't use it for a long time but started recently as I like writing things down. They're not called personal organisers for nothing. I managed to kill my phone recently and lost stuff.

I use the newer clipbook version and do a modified bullet journal within the week to view diary system. Really helps to be able to see what's going on each week and make notes of to do lists, keep track of menu planning etc. I also have separated sections at the back for notes, keeping track of other stuff etc that doesn't fit within the weekly pages. Works for me!

I have a Midori Traveller’s notebook because I am a bit poncy. I love it.

Does somebody know if Filofax refills fit and are compatible with ANTORINI A5 organizers' ring mechanism? I received it as a gift and want to add into it more refills.www.antorini.com/collections/leather-a5-organisers
