This Filofax Malden (personal size) is my new favourite thing.

It is used as my planner - to do lists , habit tracker , appts/events , reminders , taking notes , grocery lists , lists , braindumps etc...

I love that I can just rip out the page when I am done with it or transfered the information over to one of my journals.

I love that you can organise and move pages around as needed. It is amazing!

I also love the feel of this cover. It is everything I need as a planner :)

People post quotes for various reasons, including to express their beliefs, inspire others, share wisdom, evoke emotions, or simply because they resonate with the message. Quotes often condense complex ideas into concise and memorable phrases, making them easily shareable and relatable on social media platforms or in everyday conversation.

Commonplacing

Commonplacing refers to the practice of collecting and compiling significant or interesting passages, thoughts, quotations, and information from various sources into a personal notebook or commonplace book. People jot down excerpts from books, lectures, conversations, and other sources, organizing them thematically for easy reference.

The purpose of commonplacing is to create a personalized resource that gathers valuable insights, knowledge, and reflections. These books became a way for individuals to create their own intellectual and philosophical repositories.

Famous historical figures, including thinkers like John Locke and Thomas Jefferson, were known to keep commonplace books. The practice has evolved over time, and some contemporary note-taking methods or digital tools can be seen as modern iterations of this age-old tradition.

Didn't even see this quote in my pocket moleskine (tape on cover) - I use this little notebook to write all my favourite songs in list form.

Thinking I should start a Filofax wishlist 🤣

A brief dip into Filofax Holborn. This blue has to be my favourite Holborn shade.

Edited to add: can we just take a moment to appreciate how flat this Filofax lies.
