First of all your special edition filof...Hello Imy.<br />First of all your special edition filofax is beautiful! But if that's not enough to convince you into pocket size then I guess I'll help you out by telling you how I use mine hehe.<br />I have been using the same pocket filofax for about five years. I recently bought a slimline finsbury but I'm finding it hard to get used to - there's just too much space on the pages! A day per page diary in the pocket was enough room for me to record appointments, to dos and little reminders for each day. I usually use post its for to dos anyway, (that way I can easily shift them from day to day and they stand out. Plus, who doesn't love post its?!) If you're finding some of your pages too small, try using plain paper and using it landscape so the page is wider. <br />Obviously the ring size in the pocket is smaller, so I just carry a couple of months at a time in DPP and then a full accademic year in month on two pages - it helps me stay organised and plan my time better if I can see my month planned out on one page and then have single pages to plan out my work load for each day. I get rid of each month from the diary as they pass and I no longer need them.<br />Try using pocket size for a month or so and see how you go. Figure out what you need to record most/have access to while you're out and about and ditch the rest. would love to know how you get on :)<br />Peace, love & sparkles.<br />L. xLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218315616933737892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-83141495486885111762011-08-20T08:18:58.069+01:002011-08-20T08:18:58.069+01:00Imy - I just a pocket and have done for many years...Imy - I just a pocket and have done for many years. Briefly changed to personal for about 11 months but returned to pocket. however, i will say that pocket is not for everyone. I think a lot of people like the idea of a pocket and the 'cuteness' of it etc but it doesnt work for everyone. The thing i noticed most when i returned to pocket was the ring size difference. my WO2P personal was not full enough which is why i chose to change back but the ring size meant less pages.<br /><br />have a great weekend.

You would probably have to use double spaces if you must write larger. If you don't like lines at all maybe the two days per page?<br /><br />If you don't mind lugging around your personal all the time even though they can be quite heavy, there's no harm in that either, eh? <br /><br />It's nice to experiment occasionally and have choices, don't you think? Give you self some time to adapt and re-engineer. If your pulling your hair out in a month or so you'll know it's not for you.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003825861681005048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-79350787478460105662011-08-18T17:13:30.720+01:002011-08-18T17:13:30.720+01:00well so far I have found the pocket paper ... smal...well so far I have found the pocket paper ... smaller!! LOL! I really haven't had time to play around with the pocket Malden, so it just sits here on my desk next to my laptop taunting me.

I would try the day per page diary first, it helps to have lines in small spaces. I also write in very small caps for higher legibility and to maximize space. <br /><br />Hope this helps.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003825861681005048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-4705890457635934622011-08-18T09:19:37.475+01:002011-08-18T09:19:37.475+01:00Nadiine - Thank you :-) I thought i might i think ...Nadiine - Thank you :-) I thought i might i think its more the filofax im using maybe that im not getting on with and the diary layout :-) <br /><br />Terriknits - Im looking forward to hearing more too hehe :-D how do you find the pocket paper? <br /><br />xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435057906209381460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-31790443160652219822011-08-17T06:43:07.411+01:002011-08-17T06:43:07.411+01:00I will be interested in the comments, as well.

The (black crystal)pocket binder doesn't look that much smaller than the personal but I think that's because the fold-over flap adds some size/bulk to it. When I look at my pocket Malden vs personal Malden, it seems a lot smaller. The paper size comparison really tells the tale.<br /><br />I still haven't had time to sort out my new pocket Malden and am not sure if I'd be able to make the drop down to the pocket for my "daily" or "go to" Filofax. We'll see. Once things settle down with work I'll have some time to spend on it.terriknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914670141518172845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-61668305073310287602011-08-17T00:15:59.467+01:002011-08-17T00:15:59.467+01:00I have a pocket filofax and at first it was annoyi...I have a pocket filofax and at first it was annoying but I've got used to it now. I do need to get some more sheets for it as it is really empty at the moment but so far so good. I really wanna get a personal one to see what the difference would be - but you will get used to the pocket one :)<br /><a href="http://nadine-adele.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">nadiine-x</a>Nadine-Adele ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/17726321843336097662noreply@blogger.com
