It feels that they used to put more thought into those vintage Filofax models than they do nowadays. Those pockets at the front look so cool! And I also miss lots of compact and slim models. It's a shame they almost got rid of the slim line... Anyway, great video. Thank you for sharing!
You did it! Sis, I was riveted from “let us embark.” This was like watching an A24 production for me 😊 Kudos for slimming it down and still making this your own. I have a current compact Filo and I love it for travel. I’m not a fan of bulky rings, but I NEEDS my cute stuff. These compact ones are great for helping me “reset” my life, I suppose.
If you want to give your 3KL an refresh, I would recommend Tokonole. I used it before on old Planners with broken edges and it worked really well. Just a little rub with a cotton cloth and Tokonole. Believe me. 😉
I could never use compact rings as an edc, but if I could I would choose a Filofax over Plotter because of the pockets and style options. Plus the plotter system seems so expensive. I have a gold compact saffiano that I use to record purchases and financial stuff- it works perfectly for that. It’s hard to beat the Weeks😂. Next year I plan to use personal rings (so I don’t feel like I have to archive anything), but I feel a little nervous to replace my Weeks.
I don't understand why Plotter is so expensive for what it is!! And I agree, it's hard to beat the Weeks. Do you have a rings model in mind for next year yet?
I bought a black Holborn. I really like it- the pockets are great. This will be completely DIY- I’m basically making a WEEKS with the blank page on the left to account for the rings. I only use this for appointments, errands, and lists that will come up away from home. My main planner is a Cousin (I’ve used a Cousin/Weeks combo for three years). I hope Hobonichi doesn’t mess me up with a printed mega😂. I really am determined to not keep/ archive everything- it just takes up so much space- and I find it difficult to get rid of bound books. I love your system- thank you for sharing.
I love that vintage filo - it’s so pretty. And while I love the *idea* of a space shuttle/mothership planner kinda deal I was hyperventilating just watching you pull your book apart. I don’t think I could do it - I need it all together! Hope it works great for you though and gives you all the Hobo weeks satisfaction you are craving 🥰 Great video as always! ♥️♥️♥️
This is the right solution. I have the 15 mm rings from the filofax saffiano, and I like them. You might want to try them, and if you think that 4 mm difference in rings doesn't matter, they do!
I'm 100% biased towards slim planners. I make my own A6 discbound planner using Levenger .25" inch/6mm and occasionally .5" inch/13mm discs. The only downside is that discs that small are plastic and not metal like I prefer.
this is such a cool experiment!! thanks for sharing! :) 💛 i find rings so interesting and cool but i’m v loyal to the hobonichi weeks and autisticslly speaking change is scary lol
I hope you make it work in your cool vintage cover. I think the key is the placement of the holes aka how big of a margin you have between the holes and the paper edge. Either you need to punch closer to the edge of the paper or after punching trim of a bit. Plotter inserts have small holes and only 3mm margin compared to Filofax whose inserts have bigger/normal sized holes and the margin is 4-5mm. I hacked my 6-hole punch to have smaller margins because I don’t have time to cut, punch and cut again 😅 But with smaller rings there is not so much space in the middle so if you want a smooth experience you need to adjust your inserts.

Came back to say that those secretarial pockets are AMAZING 🤩 Thanks again for sharing 💫
Wish I could find one of these! Great setup!

@@MummyBrown thank you sis!! I think reserving this size for travel will be ideal, but I’m kinda like you, I want the cute stuff! 🖤
You could cut the A5 TN cover to the size, put in there 15 mm rings, and there will be your DIY plotter for 10 times cheaper
Great setup. Smaller rings all the way for me. I’m using a Filofax Holborn in compact size (15mm rings), it holds loads.
@@sallysmith7478 it’s taking some adjustment for me but I’m enjoying it so far!!

Oooo thank you so much for the tip!

I'm already back in my Original! 😂 It was lots of planner fun to do, though! Sorry to make you lose your breath there. 🤗

6mm!!! Wow!!!

thanks bucky! I always look forward to your comments 🖤

Yes, the trimming will help
I'm just like you, don't want the bulk!
You inspire me to a bigger size... I mean I have the A6 size pages now in my pocket luxe moterm with smaller rings...
For morning pages, why not tuck a thin notebook in the back?
Good idea!
Yay! 🤗
So how it goes?
