Massive shout out to Rachael Stephen, whose amazing videos inspired me to make this. Go check her out if you haven't already: / rachaelstephen
I absolutely LOVE your setup!! I’ve been a member of the online Filofax/planner community since 2012, and your setup reminds me of the “functional yet funky” style that I love, which used to be more common. I’ve watched the videos gradually morph into basically just slickly produced advertisements for various planner shops & Etsy stores, with far less emphasis on functionality, and more on “scrapbooking” style, with explosions of washi and stickers. I like that yours has your own original art, and the deco is secondary to functionality.
I do week on 2 pages layout also, and currently have a clear plastic Filofax dashboard in between the weekly pages, where I keep my notes & to do’s. I washi’d the inside edge and slit the holes, so I can easily move it week to week.
Have you used the same Finsbury since 2007, or do you have Filofax collection, like so many of us? Have you ever explored the Gillio Medium Compagna? I have a few of those. The pocket layout is amazing, especially the large document pocket along the back, which holds full size papers.
Thanks for watching! Your set up sounds great - I really should look into a clear divider, too. I only use one Filofax but I'm incredibly tempted by the Gillio you shared. Never seen those before 😍
Absolutely brilliant - so nice to hear Wilco referenced rather than ‘hobby lobby’ !
How refreshingly different! I love it! I also like how you clean and condition your planner each year. Brilliant!
Aw, cheers! Thanks for watching, Diane 🙂
I have been using a Filofax since the late 80s. There is nothing better for me. People either laugh or admire it when I whip it out in public.
I absolutely love yours. Nothing finer than a worn in, well used Filofax.
I was gifted a filofax a few yesrs ago but couldn't get away from the plain businessy feeling of the original pages so stopped using it. This has given me so many ideas to make it more personal and unique and now I'll definitely try it again for 2022, thanks! 😁
No worries! Etsy is full of amazing creators who have re-imagined Filofax layouts - go exploring and see what grabs your fancy!
I love how personal you make your planner. I'm just in love with it, really!
Cheers, mate! I love papercrafts, so my Filofax is an ideal way to indulge 😊
I love your front dashboard you've inspired me to cut up some magazines and personalize mine😀
You should! It’s so fun. I like to put a nice audio book on and have a bit of creative ‘me’ time when I do them.
Love this. ❤️ thank you for sharing!
Very interesting and original way of using a planner. Thanks for sharing. I got a lot of ideas. I would love a 'make dividers from magazines and wrapping paper with me' kind of video ❤
Ooh, great idea! I'll see about doing something like that at the end of the year.
This was so useful! I'm transitioning back to a Filofax for 2022, after three years of using the Passion Planner. I love how you've incorporated aspects of that setup, like the goal planning. Tracking my expenses is definitely something I should also add in! Setting up my new Filofax next month and have plenty of inspiration now!
Mate, I can’t wait to see how you get on! 🤩
I absolutely love your planner! It’s beautiful, unique and creative!
Aw, cheers! 😍
Lovely planner thanks for sharing and for archive tip :)
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching x
Your videos are quality. The rings idea for archiving is genius. And even more genius when starting the new year as the existing year is coming to a close.
Also, do you have a link to your tarot cards website? Or is that just a social media thing?
The rings are a game-changer. Means I can pull my new diary together in October and start adding events for the coming year as they come in, so I'm not 'blind' to everything upcoming.
This was an awesome flip thru and I love your vibes.
Hope to see more in the future ☺️
Also, you've inspired me to make my own dashboards. I absolutely love my filofax also there isn't a day when I don't touch it 😅
Thank for you this!
I'm glad to hear it! Have fun crafting :)
Hello! Thank you for making this video! It's so refreshing to see a filofax video by a Pagan person and how the system can be used by us as well. 🥰 I have found your video so inspiring! I use a Filofax Malden in Ochre, A5, and I like to keep my whole year in it at once, since both my work and my studies often require me to plan things a whole year in advace. I have thought of including my practice in my filofax too, marking sabbaths, esbaths and so on, but in the end, I ended up using the Llewellyn Witches' Datebook to record y mood and my daily oracle cards, and my Tarot has it's own journal.
It’s so cool to meet a fellow Filofax loving practitioner! Llewellyn do some great stationery, don’t they? I get the wall calendar every year 😍
@@EmmaCownley Yes! I just wish they did the Witches' Datebook in A5 ring inserts (I have tried to transform them, but it doesn't work). And I also always get their wall calendar. I'm so happy I've found your channel. Please keep up your fabulous, inspiring work! 🤗
@@Hexelixe You keep watching 'em, I'll keep making 'em! ❤
I store my bujo (from my filofax) the same way.
OMG I love your setup! 😊
Aw, cheers mate!
@@EmmaCownley :)
I really enjoyed this video, thank you so much for sharing!
Aw thanks, mate! Glad you enjoyed 😊
I would love to see an update once you are in the new year.
I may have to! I've already tweaked a few things. Might keep going until May and then do an update :)
@@EmmaCownley that would be great!
I really enjoyed this, especially as you're a fellow Brit! I'm so stealing the idea for the rings for last year's pages. I don't like having them in an elastic band, and I have a box of those rings. Thank you.
The proximity of the coffee and candle is really giving me anxiety, though. Too close, too close!!
Glad you found it useful (and soz about the anxiety!) 🙂
@@EmmaCownley lol! No worries. X
I subscribed in 5 seconds. Thank you already
Haha amazing, thanks! I have another Filofax video due in May, so let me know if you have any questions or want to see anything specific.
I‘ve been watching so many filofax videos recently and this was on top of my recommendation page just now - I LOVE your setup. The best one I‘ve seen so far and really inspiring 😍 this question might sound stupid but could you maybe explain how you use the finance section and how it helps you to save money? That‘s a big goal for me in 2022 and I just got a filofax and would really like to incorporate that section in mine. All the best to you!✨
Thanks for watching! I basically use my finance sheet to track my bills for the month. I’ll list out all my known outgoings and tick them off as they come out of my account, so I can always see how much cash is free and how much is “spent”. I also deduct my known expenses from my pay check and then allocate myself a set amount of recreational spending money for the month, which I put onto my Monzo card.
@@EmmaCownley thank you so much for your reply ☺️ I‘ll try it myself next year 👍🏻
Hmmm .... might have to dig out my old Filofax! Do you have a special hole punch for the Filofax system?
No - I cheat by using the cardboard dividers as a guide. 😂
Such a great setup and *loved* the laminated covers! I use bound planners myself, but used briefly, a Filofax as a teen. I remember it not being that comfortable as my wrist kept on bumping up against the rings, as I wrote across the page. Is it just me? Has that ever been an issue for you and if so, how did you overcome it?
Sometimes it does get annoying, especially the left hand pages. If I want my writing to be extra neat, I just take the page out of the binder before I write on it!
@@EmmaCownley and then there's that option.. didn't really think of that duh. Thank you for your response! Might give my vintage filofax another shot!
@@chronicfish Let me know how you get on!
❤❤❤
Can I just ask, where did you get Christmas inserts that you mentioned in this video?
