Hi everyone! I am still here. This blog has sat dormant, but my love of planners continues!
I still contribute on Philofaxy so look for me there if you want to read my Filofax ramblings.
It's been almost 15 years since I started this blog! All those years ago, it was hard to find planner info and how-to-use inspiration. Now we are drowning in posts and videos on using planners, and I find it hard to find the real stuff: actual planner use, and not just performative planner aesthetics.
Nonetheless, I persist. I'm always on the lookout for new ways to use my planner, especially as my life changes and my planning needs change.
My current situation: Newly empty nest! Possibly traveling more than I have in many years? And job hunting.
Themes that still resonate with me:
Filofax or bound book? They are both useful in different ways. I'm still constantly exploring which format best fits different needs.
Planner layout: after many years of experimentation, I've discovered I have to use a weekly layout with timed vertical columns. It's just how my brain works. But will this continue to be the layout for me, now that my life runs less on a timed schedule?
Size vs portability: For about a year and a half I used a Kokuyo Jibun Techo weekly planner, and I enjoyed how portable it was while still having everything I needed in one book. But as I'm getting older, my eyes couldn't handle the tiny grid anymore and I moved into a different planner that's easier to read, but a little larger. How portable will I need my planner to be in this new phase of my life?
I don't know if I'll be posting on here any more, but I just wanted to give you the update!
Happy planning everyone!
