Filofax Experiment

Afternoon After Eight Mints

Yes another blog post within hours of each other!!!

So I wanted to to do an experiment about which page layout I prefer and if I can really live with a personal sized Filofax…..

I got this idea a bit from Plannerisms,   Thank you Laurie :-D And I'm kind of using her other idea about Calling the Dog,  yes that idea sounded a bit odd to me until I read it and it kind of made sense.

So first of all I should tell you the about the Filofax I'm using for this test, it kind of feels like an exam, and yes I am sort of now going to do a What’s in my Filofax blog post (MY FIRST EVER).

Well I'm going to let you wait for a bit with a lot of dots to draw out the tension a bit……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Its my wonderful AMAZONA!!!! I bet pretty much all of you knew that was coming but I wanted to draw out the suspense a bit!

So inside the first thing you see is Arnold the prickerly bear! Yes my mother painted it for me, when my dad gave it to me I burst in to tears as it had a picture of my cat on the otherside and she made it for me as I was going to London for the first time ALONE (I had been many other times but never alone) so I was a bit nervous!

But yeah its so adorable here are some pictures of the pretty thing: -

The back is a picture of my Cat that passed away a year and 3 days ago, I'm going to his grave on Monday, I really miss him :-(

After that you can see that I have in my pocket the following: -

·          Oyster Card holder with Bite Card in too, in a Starbucks card holder ;-)

·          Receipt from Silks Coctail bar (which is in a posh ***** hotel I stayed in when I went to London by myself, I live in style) but I only just found out, City Organiser is about 20-30 meters away! Why was I denied this knowledge! Lol

·          A picture of my lovely dog buster (well I wish he was mine)

·          A sticker from Eyeko

·          A list of how to say the weather in French

·          Paper Clip

·          Things for my tabs

·          List of things to do in NEW Filofax

Here is the diary sort of bits I use….

One attempt at trying to be organised (my holiday days, didn’t last too long lol)

My monthly calendar in case I have future appointments and only have 3 months in my diary…

There is a lot of crap in it really, I have also included some up close pictures of my Filofax Ruler Page Marker! (One thing they should of included in the Flex!)

Well on to the experiment after that rather failed ‘What’s in my Filofax?’.

Don’t worry when I have more time to do one and I'm using my new Filofax I will do a proper one this was more of a little introduction to my Amazona for the moment!

So I am now going to list my experiments below: -

Experiment #1

Week to View Cotton Cream

I want to see which works for me best, but ignor any messy writing its only because I had to write in a lot of things quickly this morning to remember to use it etc…..

I'm going to try and use all 3 then the one I stop using will get left behind until there is 1 clear winner!!!

Experiment #2

Two Days Per Page (Homemade let me add)

I researched a bit and found out that on the Sunday it has a notes page so I have copied that format….

I have covered the village my doctors is at, I don’t care if you know what times…. Yes I have two appointments at the doctors in one day!

Experiment #3

Day per Page (Homemade again)

There isn’t much I can say now is there, you get the idea.

So I am going to try these three formats for a full WEEK!!! WOW and see which I prefer! Already the rings are annoying me on the left hand side, but I need to find a way to concur that, any ideas?

Look forward to all your comments on this post and advice will be MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

Much Love <3 I will post again on Sunday I think to give you an idea on how this is going!!!
