Filofax Organizer

I tend to be a very organized person anyway but I got this Filofax (www.filofax.co.uk) for my 18th birthday and I absolutely love it! It is probably one of the most used things throughout my day. I sometimes carry it around with me in my bag because the size is quite handy and it's not too heavy. However, I do have all my dates and meetings in my iPhone too so in case I don't have my Filofax at hand I am not completely lost.

This particular Filofax that I have is called Personal Finsbury Red in Real Leather. Filofax have different sizes so in case you want to order one online I would highly recommend going to a store and looking at the sizes since a A5 filofax is not necessarily the same A5 size you get in paper. I find that this "Personal" Size that I have is pretty much the same size than an A5 piece of paper. 

I love love love the red colour, it's so vibrant, although red is not really my favourite colour. You can get different inserts for the year. I have the ones where one day is displayed on one page, because I find that I sometimes have more than two meetings per day so the space is sort of limited on the one week-two page layout. The only downside I find with the one day one page layout is that the whole year hardly fits into the Filofax since I have my address book and other pages in there aswell, so I always end up carrying 6 months with me which is fine too. Since I don't plan THAT much ahead in time. It also has a Today ruler like thingy so I can also open it easily on the right day. 

In the back it has different pieces of paper for notes, projects, financial things and a whole contact book. I have ordered an additional plastic carrier for business cards, in which I keep various cards right at the front. It also has sowed in slots for cards and a bigger slot for anyting else. In the back it has a pen holder which is super super practical so I don't always have to go fishing in my bag for a pen. AND it has a zip locked little pocket in the back where I keep secret little notes and sometimes money or credit cards.

Overall I really like this and I hope it will last me a long time, but the quality of the leather and the material inside is fantastic and you can even get your name emboissed into it and have a personalized one!

Until then, Cheerio from Berlin,
