For this week’s blog I’m going back to Filofax related
matter. I’ve been journaling for 18 months
and it’s been on just basic A5 notepads.
I wanted to make my journaling experience more of a tactile, luxurious,
event so decided to look into inserts and Filofaxes.
Whilst browsing Ebay (as you do!) I came across a Personal
Portland as a bargain. I wanted to try a
vintage Filofax so I could understand the difference to the newer
versions. So here are the pictures:-
The leather is gorgeously smooth, soft and supple. I generally find the Personal size paper too
long and thin but as you will see from the photos, I bought the Franklin Covey
Her Point of View daily inserts (http://franklinplanner.fcorgp.com/store/buy/Ring-bound/Her-Point-Of-View-Ring-bound-Daily-Planner-Refill/prod370009/?skuId=60605)
which are a touch wider and have beautiful hues of colour.
Although the line spacing is rather tight, I just write on every other
line.
My only gripe is the right hand pen loop is just a little
too narrow to keep my fountain pen. I now
keep this Filofax at my bedside so I can relax and journal just before bed.
As always, I welcome any questions or comments left below.
Great 'completed system'. Thx for that example + comments. I also use larger dia pens, so I use a stick-on pen loop, from my local ofc sply chain store. They carried styles in glue+press-on, peel-and-stick, and industrial grade stick-on. I also like that you have the soft blue inks - they are easier on the eyes, and will allow my notes to be readable if they overwrite an inked area, where dark ink artwork won't.
