This week we learn how Kim uses her Filofax.
1. When did you buy your first organizer and what was it?
2. Out of the organizers you own, which is your current favorite (Style and Size)?
3. How many Filofax or other brands of organizers do you own?
4. What do you use your organizers for?
5. How many sections do you have in your organizer and what is each section used for?
Only the calendar and address book
6. If you could design your own Filofax what would it feature?
7. What was the last movie you watched?
9. What was the last book you read?
10. When did you start using an organizer?
It’s hard to remember! But, I think it was 1997
11. How has your use of an organizer changed over the years?
Yes, I come across it. I have used it as a general calendar so I can see a week and a month at a time. It is hard to pretend the phone calendar doesn’t exist b/c so many events come with ready links to the calendar. It’s easier to accept them. However, after abandoning the Filofax for a number of years I have rekindled my love for it’s straightforward, no nonsense information organization. It makes me feel less anxious to see the week at a glance with all the info I need in one place and not on a tiny screen.
12. Which diary format works best for you and why?
Week at a glance. I need to see what I have each day at once so that I won’t miss anything.
13. What other information do you keep and maintain in your organizer?
I have phone numbers of importance: family, friends, stores. I love the month at a glance to keep things in perspective. My Filofax also has a wallet and change purse in it, which is handy despite the fact that I rarely use cash!
14. What routines and structures do you use?
I have found that I can carry my Filofax with me and my phone in my purse. I use a pencil to keep daily dates in my Filofax and at night I transcribe the events that are on my phone. I find that this system works for me not to miss appointments b/c I am looking at my entire schedule at night for the next day.
I fell out of the habit of keeping a written schedule for a bunch of years and eventually, lately, I realized I was missing events and appointments b/c I wasn’t seeing my weekly schedule and only relying on the alerts from my phone and those weren’t obvious enough…so I missed things.
15. Do you use one binder or several, and if several, how do you use them?
I used to use two, many years ago when I was decorating and I had one for my wedding too!
16. Tell us about your YouTube channel
