Ways of a Filofax (Part 2) - The Priority Calendars
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 ноя 2024
- These are the main planning sections of my Filo. The first section is a month on two pages. This is where I record important dates way ahead of time and countdown my weeks for the semester or for certain projects if necessary. The second section is a week on two pages. This is where I plan out my entire week by using categories, priority stickers and color coding with brackets. Talk about fun! I also show you what my layout looked like when I was using a day per page. *I mention the saying weekly "big rocks" a lot here which means major commitments for the week.

Thanks for watching! Subscribe for more organizational sassiness on the way. Any suggestions or video requests? Be sure to let me know.
this is beautiful. Your planner makes me so happy I could cry.
Still watching this at the end of 2018 :) Crazy how my life has changed since the first time I came across your videos a few years ago. Hope you're doing well! Happy holidays and happy new year!
Wow thanks. That's what I adore about binder planners, can be as simple or hectic as you want it. Add and go, remove and archive. No spiral-bound limitations.
I love your method for prioritizing items!
I have a Personal Malden in grey, and I LOVE it!
I think this is the simplest and most organized system I've seen on here. Definitely going to use some of your ideas!
Loved it ! I never thought there could be such a way of organizing tasks...and life :)) Thanks you! :)

Question not related to the filofax... What webcam do you use? Just that it's lovely and clear and I'll soon be posting a video up of my own filofax so am looking around for a decent webcam
That's so true and I love it as well! I used planners before but they were almost always a mess and then I just got frustrated using them. I have, however, been using your weekly organization idea in my new planner and it works PERFECTLY! So simple and easy. Thanks a bunch!
This is the best agenda organizing video I have seen and I have seen them all now. Kudos to you.
I have a personal Malden in pink, and thinking of getting grey or black so the colors will stand out more. I had actually almost given up on my Malden until I saw your videos. I was getting frustrated because even after watching so many ppl's Filo vids, I couldn't seem to find my perfect setup. Now I feel like it's much more within reach. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your colored Avery tabs!!! So cheerful. This series is one of the best of the many Filofax videos on RUclips!
THREE CHEERS FOR PLANNERS!
Ah tempting! Black one seems like it'll be so sleek especially against all the colors. It's the "personal week on two pages - sunday to saturday". That notes section works wonders.
For multiples... start times can go on top and full times can be written next to the appointment. I'd add a mini sticky if I ran out of room. Or i've recently considered putting a colored dash next to appointments that have extended info. And the info will be located in my task/notes section under it's category.
You have the BEST Filofax and I have seen a ton of videos. If I had a Filofax it would look just like yours. I have a notebook and it coincides with your Filofax before I saw your videos. I bet if we lived in the same city we would be friends. We would be Filofax geeks!!

Me and you too 💁💃 we would be Filofax buddies 😀 I love, love, love this set up - it's so easy to see at a glance and to keep my work hours separate 🌴 x
This is the smartest way of using Filofax. I have watched all the Malden Filofax video, and several others, this is really professional-:)
From the Filofax USA site. I've been able to adapt to the Monday week start now and I absolutely love it! Shocker ;p
Oh yayyyyyyy part2.....I've seriously been hanging out for the second instalment....hahahaha....Would you believe I'm so ENAMOURED with your setup I went & ordered a Malden Personal in Ochre....Looking forward to part3....!!!!!
I've had my eye on the black Malden as well. Ooh that silky black would definitely make the colors pop more. Could find the perfect insert, but as far as the perfect setup... that's a tough one. Thanks greatly appreciate it! Glad it's coming along better for ya.
I am def ordering the Malden! I am going to try to get it set up pretty similar. Great tips for keepin gup with school projects!
Sounds awesome! Hope it all works out for ya.
Sweeeet! My oh my I hope it'll be a quick delivery for ya. I recall when I ordered it last year... the anticipation, the suspense... it was like a movie! Well congrats and if you have any questions about any items just ask away.
For me the colors keep everything lively and fun and the category names are like tabs, keeping them in front of me reminds me to pay attention to different areas. Different colored tasks may still fall under any category. Ex: A project action that's not filming/editing(pink) would fall under the projects category in blue. A school action not related to classes(brown) would fall under subjects in blue. All calls go under network in blue, all errands go under network in orange, etc.
Thanks so much. LOL i've minimized it down to 3 categories now and I don't necessarily perfectly align actions under each category.
I was using a black Pilot Hi-Tec-C (0.5) in this video, but now I use a Pilot G2 (0.38) since it's retractable plus it writes pretty much the same, thank goodness. Thanks so much.
All about tweaking things until you find a setup that works! Glad to be of some help.
I now use a Pilot G2 (0.38 and 1.0) and it doesn't bleed through Filofax paper for me. In this vid I used a black Pilot Hi-Tec-C with no problems either, too bad it wasn't retractable.
I love your videos. Thanks for sharing
I prefer having a Filofax because of its sleek style, sturdy material and pocket setup. Other binders usually feel either too filmsy or have that dull business look. I tried out an A5 FC last summer before I found out about the Filofax community. The size of it was too big and I got tired of its macho business style. The question becomes will you get tired of the color and overall interior feel of the binder. Then again your setup might be so spectacular that none of that even matters ;)
I love your calendar section & I think your way setting it up is brilliant! Unfortunately my writing is too big, so I can't really manage it. I get in two categories and that's it :)
Sweet! Gotta love categories and priority stickers ;)
Really good ideas... I will be using some in my 2013 planning layout for my personal filofax!! Please do an update for the 2013 changes
Thanks for your reply. You said A5 FC not sure what size that is, is it the classic or compact. They go by different sizes. I do like the Filofax now that I've seen it but I just ordered the new FC calendar pages. Oh well, need to give it some thought.
Some great ideas here. Thanks for sharing. BTW, your smoke detector needs a new battery.
Wow. I have the Malden Personal in black and LOVE it. Qs - What qeeklyvinaerts are you using with a Notes are at the end if each week? Also, what do you do if you have multiple appnts in the same category on the sane day, especially if they are multiples in one part of the day (Ex: 3 appnts in one category in the afternoon)? Great vid- I need to get the DayRunner MO2Ps and those Mark It Dots!!
Have fun with it! I filmed this with a Canon HF10 camcorder.
Can you tell me why you prefer the Filofax to the Franklin Covey. I have a Franklin and have been looking at the Filofax and now wonder about whether I would be happier with the Filofax. There are more videos on Filofax than Covey and I see more ideas for setting it up. Just curious as to your opinion. I think you mentioned you used to have a Franklin.
Subjects - assignments for class / school related actions
Network - errands / events / calls / things that have to do with people and places / project and school related errands & calls also go under here because I prefer to see all of the places I need to go and calls I need to make for the day under one spot.
Actions - chores and recreation items / personal things
Shannon hi thank. I am a journal person. stop and stared using apps now everything .I had always done on various day keeper type things. I was using Anthony Robbins RPM planners system too much work. His paper rocks! I can not decide if I want to keep book his and buy different inserts need paper punch to match that? what I can use fountain pens with (major) . Reviews say Filofax paper bless through? What do you
Love your setup! I LOVE that it's actually functional! Thanks for sharing--great inspiration & helpful ideas!!! Would love to see a recent update if you still check this acct!
You have an excellent system.....
i love your videos. i would love to see what your current set is looks like and how is it working for you. i am a youtube junkie and need my update!!!! lol thanks
Wow, so many great ideas, I will definitively adopt some of these for my own setup. One question though: In your weekly diary, why do you use a colour for project items when you already sort them in the "project" category? Maybe I missed something there, but it looks redundant to me.
Hi! I absolutely love your system! I haven't gotten it all figured out yet, butnIm
A5 is closest to FC's 'Classic' line, while Filofax Personal is closest to FC Compact.
HA such a classic cmnt! Thanks!
Just a suggestion but maybe when a task is not completed but you are moving it to another day, you could just underline it and then put your arrows beside it rather than marking through it .
Where did you find the Filofax weekly beginning with Sunday?
What size is the planner?
+Tahlia Moriya Bat Isreal personal size :)
As an aside, yer hands look beautiful with that nail color:)
No prob and thanks, it's been taken care of. Whoops that was the first thing that should've happened.
Brilliant!!!
Thanks so much!
LOL I said "thanks you" Hahahahah Yeah I now love them too :D
Oops! Wrong button! Could you define the four categories.Projects is easy, but networks is vague to me. I would greatly appreciate it!
please make more videos!!! :D
You must have a lot of time on Your hands but its still pretty cool though.
I know, I love this video and part 1, but both videos had the smoke detector chirping, and so I could only watch them in the middle of the night when my dog was asleep. Otherwise he barks his head off when he hears the chirping!! lol
And that was supposed to be "weekly inserts".... ;)
Can I ask how do you plan your week, this seems like a lot of work
