My Malden Week #1

Here is the seperate post that I mentioned in the previous one - this provides a look at my personal Malden week.  I use this planner at the weekend - I love my Chameleon but I really don't want to have to lug it round with me at the weekend.  The issue that I have had with using a different filofax at the weekend is that the week can look really bare and I don't like that.  Then along came 365/30 Lists - a facebook page for Philofaxers which gives a list topic for each day of the month.  This started in September and if you follow everything filofax, then I am sure it is something that you will have come across - if not, here is the link to the facebook page:

Filofax 365/30 Group

I decided this was just what I needed for my Malden during the week to make sure it was used everyday.  I tend to sit down for 5 or 10 mintues at the end of the day and make my list, it is really nice to have even that small amount of 'me' time.  At the weekend, I can spend a little longer thinking about it and it's ideal to take to my local Starbucks for a coffee and quality time with Malden! 


Work Week #1

There are a number of blogs that I enjoy reading that have a regular post which gives an overview of their filofax week.  As all the best ideas are commonly replicated, I am going to do the same and provide an overview of both my work week, which I use my A5 Chameleon and in a seperate post I will also provide a look at my personal Malden which I use mainly at weekends.

This is my work week - there was quite a lot of empty space this week, not because I wasn't busy but simply because I didn't have too many appointments.  I find that I have to fill the empty space but I've not even been very successful at that this week!

 
I really feel that I need to be neater and pay more
attention when writing things down.  I accidently
put in two appointments for Tuesday when they were
actually for Wednesday!


As you can see, losts of white space on the half.  Must
do better next week!

Well here it is......

The official olympics 2012 filofax organiser.  I bought this after reading a post on the Philofaxy Facebook page - Staples had them on sale and I just can't resist a bargain.  The truth is I have no need for a new filofax but when there is a massive £28 saving, who can say no?! Considering it isn't leather I actually quite like how it feels.  Here come the pictures - I've had a bit of trouble with formatting tonight so it is a bit out in places:










Front and back - I would have preferred the blue one but the pink is quite nice.  It isn't as bubblegummy as in this picture but the light wasn't great when I took the picture.







The diary sheets during the olympics are a day per page.

On the non-olympic dates the diary goes to a week on one page with a page on the right that could be used for any sort of notes.


Lots of information pages about events both for olympics and paralympics.


Notes pages

Dividers - I'm not a big fan of them being pre-printed as I like to be able to decide how to divide things myself


Probably worth the £4 by itself is the today page marker - I really like it!

The pictures are a little out of order but hopefully you can see enough of the planner.  I really have no idea what I will use it for and am contemplating giving it to my daughter to try and encourage her to be more organised and create some good habits but can I bring myself to pass it over?  Ummmm....not sure!
