Time for Part 2 of the One True Filofax series!
In Part 1 I wrote about whether it's possible to have a OTF, and David and Nia wrote about their experiences!
I think it's brilliant that they have found their perfect systems in a single filofax! But I know a lot of Filofax users who haven't found their perfect system, or use more than filofax simultaneously! So this part of the series is about the people who use multiple filofaxes. A few days ago Laurie wrote about this subject on Philofaxy, arguing that you don't need to use just one filofax to follow the One Life One Planner philosophy.
Personally, I use multiple filofaxes- one as my main planner, another for planning my dissertation, and when I have some time off in Autumn/Winter I am planning on using more for planning hobbies etc, and also for other purposes like as a scrap book and organising recipes. I think there's nothing wrong with using multiple filofaxes, and if it works for you, then that's brilliant!!
I would like to call for guest posts, to ask for your stories and experiences in using multiple filofaxes simultaneously, whether to plan things, to store information, recipes etc or for other purposes! If you would like to do a guest post, please email me at bernasconiray at hotmail dot com! Thanks!!
This blog is about being a student, and being organised, and hopefully being an organised student!

One True Filofax?
Hi everyone!
I was just reading Philofaxy's Free For All Friday and someone asked a question about the Ostrich filofax. This reminded me of Ro, who uses an Ostrich and it is her one and only, everything Filofax. For years she has used this and it is beaten up but each scar tells a story. You can read about Ro's Filofax obsession here on Philofaxy's Reader Under the Spotlight.
So I'm particularly interested in what you guys think about this:
Do you desire an OTF? Do you crave finding the perfect solution? For you, is it a search for the perfect binder- the right leather, perfect colour, pocket layout? Finding the perfect size for you? Or, is it about the insides- finding the perfect set-up of inserts, dividers, planning pages, that will last you through the years. Or even finding the right diary format? I know Jotje extols the virtues of a one-life, one-planner philosophy- and I can see the virtues in this, definitely. Laurie has spent years, and established a wonderful blog, trying to find the perfect planning system for her.
Or, do you like the flexibility of being able to change between different binders, and even different sizes, as your life requires it? Do you value the ring mechanism of the Filofax for the ability to change the set-up of your filo with ease? Do you like change?
I think I am going to turn this into a regular blog feature, with guest posts and even a competition or two!! In the comments, please tell me if you think this is a good idea for a series, and if you would like to do a guest post! It could even be a guest video! Don't tell me about your One True Filofax or One True Set-Up yet, wait for the relevant blog posts :)
Get thinking about what you would like to say!!

This is what I would call a One True Filofax (copyright: Me!! I'm coining this phrase and taking out a copyright on it!!!!! OK, not really...).
Mr Ochre Malden here would be my One True Filo!!
