My current planner situation
So far this blog has been mostly about planners and a few other paper products. How could I do anything else after the long hiatus than write about planners again. Here we go. Did I solve all my planner problems in the last two years? Am I finally back to normal again, just getting one …
Planner fail, or rather planner indecision
As the new year is getting closer, I have been putting some thought into my planner system for next year. Also, since my life is undergoing some big changes right now, I am sort of having a struggle with planners at this moment too. Let me explain: Last week my phd thesis was finally approved …
Finishing while filofaxing
Since I am almost at the end of my time as a graduate student, I thought I would write a bit about the setup I am using in my filofax and how I use while finishing my thesis. Alternatively, think of this as procrasinating on said thesis. Anyway, the filofax I am using right now …
Six months gone by
I can’t believe it, half a year has gone by without me even looking at this blog. Why? Probably a combination of thesis and job-searching stress, me being unsure what to write and just plain forgetting about it. Now I will have to have a good think on what to do about this, and how …
what’s in my bag
Today I am going to show you all what is in my bag. It is one of my favourite types of post to read on other blogs, and I hope you will enjoy reading this one too. First the bag itself. It is from the Italian brand Cromia, that I have never seen available in …
bound diary vs ring organisers
You may have noticed before that I love to think and talk and write about diaries and organisers. Today I want to show you a little experiment I did with a bound planner. I think there are a few reasons why a bound diary might be better than a ring organiser. The first, slightly obvious, …
new filo, more purple
After much thinking and debating about it, I decided to go ahead and order the purple finchley filofax I had been wanting for so long. Here I want to share some pictures of it. First the opening-the-package process: I also bough some extra notepaper and to-do inserts: As you can see it comes with the …
baby moleskine
Just after setting up my filofax for the new year, I found this at the university bookshop: Isn’t it cute? It is a extra small daily diary made by moleskine, in a lovely aqua blue colour. It has one page per day, without lines or times printed on the page. Here is a picture of …
organised with filofax
For about three years now, since I started my PhD research, I have been using a filofax. My first purchase of this was inspired by the blog, philofaxy, which was run by one man back then, but has since grown a lot with new contributors and more readers. It has been one of my favourite …
pencil love
I know how nerdy it is that my first post on my new blog is about paper and pencils. But that is just how I work and what I love. I learned to write with pencils, and only after a year were we allowed to start using pens. Fountain pens. Ballpoints were not allowed for …
