The Filofax Beauty Gift Pack

Posted on by

Just before Christmas the Filofax team let me have a look at their latest addition to their range – the Filofax Beauty Gift Pack. Following on from their first adventures in ‘bundling’ with the Lifestyle Packs, I wondered if they would continue this line of thinking and create more appropriate bundles. The Beauty Gift pack is the next step. Sporting a personal sized Domino Filofax; a filofax page sized mirror, and a ‘James Bond’ pen with a perfume atomiser hidden in the cap for a quick spray during the day; it’s clear that this pack is aimed at a certain

C’est un ‘Le Web’ Cadeau

One of the many interviews I did at Le Web was with C-Net France. Interestingly the reporter had a list of four names to track down specifically for the interviews, and I was one of them (the others were Robert Scoble, Joi Ito and Michael Arrington, who I can only assume he didn’t get). Anyway, it’s all in French and with a quick run through the Alta Vista translator (yes I knew they still had a use) I think I managed to not put my foot in it! Et mon second appareil serait un Filofax, un organiseur en papier. Pas

Looking at the Family Lifestyle Filofax Pack

Regular readers will know that I’m a big user of my Filofax, and while it’s great for day to day stuff and some basic GTD techniques, it really comes into its own with large events, such as SXSW or the Edinburgh Fringe (and subsequent podcast). I tend to have half an eye on the Filofax website for new twists and ideas, and while most of the time I just go there for new paper refills and to look at the many new designs of Filofax they keep coming out with, sometimes I stop and go “oh that’s a nice idea.”

A Little Bit of GTD Tech For The Weekend?

Posted on by

Over on All About Symbian, I’ve posted an article that talks about how I use GTD with the modern S60 smartphone. This was a question I was asked thanks to the 5800 video diary series that is now addressed in a full article. The short answer is, I don’t. The S60 derived phones have an absolutely hopeless To-Do/List system in the calendaring application, and the regular calendar/agenda functions are poor at best. As readers here (and party go-ers in SXSW) will know, I’m a big Filofax fan. It’s disappointing when paper and pencil outgun silicon, and it’s made even more

Introducing My Filofax

Posted on by

I picked up my first Filofax in early 2004, and I’m still using it, almost four years later. It’s a ‘personal’ sized version, under the Kensington design – one that is no longer offered. But it’s very much a traditional look, with soft brown leather (and two thick cardboard inserts behind the cover to give it some strength (the closest in the current range is probably the Guildford). Why did I get it? Mainly because I was about to do my first international travel (a week long trip to the USA); I wanted to have paper copies of notes and
