<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I did a little internet surfing today and found myself in paradise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love love love love notebooks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Not just the new and modern styles, but curiously, i love the look and style of old, well-used and antiquated notebooks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I found a plethora of images of the words and ideas of many famous people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was fascinating!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I spent a lot of time examining and admiring the written words and diagrams and settings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is sadly a dying art to keep journals and write your thoughts down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The revival is here, but it is only kept by a small few who burn the light of centuries of journalists, scribes and ordinary people who capture the world of their lives and thoughts and preserve them on paper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Enough said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You my dear reader are either saying "Yea" or "Nay".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To each his own.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
Normally I would be very candid about this confession.<br />
But I am sure you will agree with me.<br />
There are some small, simple things in life <br />
which makes us stop, <br />
and for a moment,<br />
a single drifting moment,<br />
we lose ourselves in complete Nirvana.<br />
<br />
Such it is<br />
with the sweet smell<br />
of leather<br />
<br />
Not just any leather,<br />
but the quality of the leather attached to an item.<br />
A personal item.<br />
A treasure.<br />
Something worthwhile and purposeful.<br />
Something useful that has meaning.<br />
Something that holds my secrets<br />
and is part of me.<br />
<br />
I received a new leather binder a while ago.<br />
It feels heavy.<br />
It is smooth and seductive.<br />
It fills the senses with the intoxicating aroma<br />
of well-crafted leather.<br />
<br />
I stop<br />
I breath in<br />
slowly, ever slowly<br />
I hold my breath<br />
and feel the flood of calming emotions<br />
<br />

my hidden vice<br />
my secret pleasure.<br />
I love leather.<br />
<br />
What better way to be centred with the earth.<br />
It is rich and deep and strong and filling.<br />
<br />
I just like it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

<br />
The wonderful Glenda Slann sent me a handmade handcrafted leather fauxdori!<br />
<br />
It arrived yesterday. When I opened the package it was amazing. The aroma of the top quality leather was just intoxicating. <br />
<br />
Recently I posted in Facebook about wether it was time to 'dip my toes' into the Midori-style notebook covers. Glenda contacted me to show me some of her wares. It is exactly what I've been looking for. And that, so they say, is history in the making!<br />
<br />
I've included pictures for you to see. <br />

I placed in my six Fieldnotes notebooks that the wonderful Michael Batzgen sent me from Germany. They are amazing as well, and they fit perfectly into the binder.

I am so impressed with the way Glenda has listened to my ideas and designed such a useful and unique binder. If anything will influence me to move over and use a midori-style binder, I cannot think of a better one to begin that journey. <br />
<br />
Glenda, you are amazing. <br />
<br />
Your ability to create such a wonderful thing is beyond words. <br />
<br />
Thank you so much.<br />

I had to put it a little lower than I wanted as the edge of the pin would have rotated and come above the long pocket edge. :-(<br />

Why indeed?<br />
<br />
<br />
I guess it comes down to a number of intersecting aspects of my life:<br />
<br />
the need to use my time better<br />
the desire to be more productive<br />
a requirement to have a lot of my information all in one place<br />
the insurance that I don't forget important things<br />
<br />
and a passion for quality stationery<br />

<br />
My journey with Filofaxes has been fluid and long.<br />
<br />
I have always kept journals and diaries<br />
but never really kept them going long enough<br />
or utilized their capacity so they served me well<br />
they looked so cool in the 1980's and are a novelty in the 2010's.<br />
<br />
I simply LOVE to carry mine.<br />
My pocket ochre Malden<br />
in all its leathery splendor.<br />
<br />
it looks manly<br />
it feels comforting<br />
it is not out of place in most settings<br />
and it just feels right<br />
<br />
I can rely on it<br />
I protect it<br />
it assists me when I need it<br />
it helps me to think<br />
and it serves me and no-one else.<br />
<br />
My Filofax is tactile,<br />
made with quality materials,<br />
ever changing and adapting<br />
and rustic.<br />
<br />
and it's mine.<br />

I was sitting all alone<br />
With my Malden and my phone<br />
And then some evil thoughts started crowding in about me.</div>

It's a dark and dreary night<br />
Seems the rings just don't seem right<br />
So I wonder if I am brave enough to cut you?<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Do I really have the thi-ings?</div>

oh-oh<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Rings, rings, why do you get in the way?l?<br />
Rings, rings, catching my fingers all day<br />
Rings, rings, if only you'd just go away<br />
And I sit all alone impatiently<br />
With an inn-o-cent Malden in front of me<br />
So, rings, rings, it looks like your taking a fall!<br />
So, rings, rings, its ringectomy time after all!<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
They were here and now they're gone<br />
Hey did I do something wrong?<br />
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken<br />
Was it really such a thrill?<br />
To remove you with my drill?<br />
Will you hear me cry or will I feel I'm mistaken<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Please forgive this mortal sin<br />
As I chuck you in the bin, oh-oh<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Rings, rings, You came out without a fight!<br />
Rings, rings, the buffalo leather feels right.<br />
Rings, rings, you've now been replaced with a strap<br />
And I gaze at the Malden without it's rings<br />
And I smile to myself and start to sing<br />
Ho ho rings, rings, I didn't need you like I thought!<br />
So-o, rings, rings, my Moleskines sit perfectly taught.<br />
Oh-oh, rings, rings, some folks think I acted too rash.<br />
So, rings, rings, enjoy your new life in the trash!<br />

I remember my attention being grabbed by Tess's overstuffed personal binder in 'Working Girl' and the hilarious zip line antics in 'Taking Care of Business'. <br />
And I wanted to have one.<br />
<br />
I was bitten.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As a student, the expensive, overseas-made and authentic Filofaxes were a little out of my price range.<br />
<br />
I found some cheaper, mass market, vinyl planners which I pretended to use and pass off as a Filofax but I knew I couldn't keep up the charade for too long.<br />
In the late 80's my sister gave me a genuine black leather personal-size Filofax and I never looked back.<br />
I had made it.<br />
I had one.<br />
<br />
So move ahead to the 2010's.<br />
You can pick up authentic (albeit used) Filofaxes at the Goodwill store for a couple of dollars.<br />
You can bargain on eBay and Gumtree and now even get your desired planner from swap sites and of course, the Philofaxy <a href="http://philofaxy.blogspot.com.au/p/adspot.html">Adspot</a> page.<br />
And the selection of other brand binders has hit the roof.<br />
Why you can even design your own online!<br />
We live in the age of planners!<br />
<br />
So here's my question.....<br />
<br />
What planner keeps you in AWE?<br />
What brand tickles your fancy and makes you go Gaga?<br />
What one gives you that ambitious Hunger Games look in your eyes and brings on a slight drool as everything stops in stasis while you see it - no 'visualise' yourself using it in your mind?<br />

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span><em><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>You're tanning, one hand dipping into the edge of the water. <br />Your planner is open and a tequila daiquiri sits next to it. <br />The ink of your last entry still glistens in the words 'Fashion Show - Milan!'. <br />Some Kenny G song is playing in the background. <br />The waiter comes up to you with a phone on a tray saying - "Sir/Ma'am - it's the President on Line Two.......".<br /> ><SNAP BACK TO REALITY><</strong><o:p></o:p></span></em></span></div>
<br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
This is not a 'Unicorn' thing I am talking about.<br />
This is just one that grabs you. <br />
Makes you dream and swoon.<br />
Makes you just sit there and be in awe?<br />
Do you have one?<br />
Share your dream if you like.<br />
<br />
Here are some of mine.....<br />

The whole binder feels so much softer and more comfortable to hold. it's hard to explain. I wish we had touch-a-vision so you could feel the difference. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I guess the removal of the rings created a more comfortable feel to the binder overall. It feels just lighter and more balanced in my hands. Along with the softness of the Malden leather and the flexibility of the pocket size - it feels better and more improved. </div>

<span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br /></span>

We're either trying to find the perfect binder for us, commonly known as the "Unicorn" or spending excessive amounts of time changing our binder into some amazing work of art.. If we're lucky enough to find "The One", we then spend time trying to work out how to use it. There are many creative people around who uses binders, and spend huge amounts of time each day or week placing decorations and redesigning their inserts and a whole range of different things in order to make it just right. </span><br />

In the last few years I've spent hundreds of dollars, and thousands of hours I am sure, tweaking and redesigning and changing all of my planners and inserts but was never really been satisfied with what I had. If you been following my recent escapades, you would see that I have gone to some desperate measures to try and find something that would suit my daily needs. It's called "Planner Peace". I call it - unattainable!</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br /></span>

I have cut, pasted, printed, used washi tape, stamps, different coloured pens, different types of pens and the list goes on and on and on. In recent days I have made some fairly drastic modifications on my Filofax and the inserts I use. So now after some great moments of filocontemplation, I've made a decision that I may live to regret, but will try to stick to as best I can. Cross your fingers and wish me luck. </span><br />
<span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br /></span>

<span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">Just stop. </span><br />
<span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">Stop the changing, stop the continual seeking for better and better and never really reaching it. </span><br />
<span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">Stop the endless decoration styles, the printing, the looking at various Facebook pages for hours and hours, trolling blogs and websites looking for what will make you ultimately happy. </span><br />
<span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">Just stop. </span><br />

It may not be perfect but if you're saying to yourself it's good enough, It most likely is. </span><br />
<span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br /></span>

Just stop being so cautious and careful and giving in to that endless longing and just use what you have. </span><br />
<span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br /></span>

<span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br /></span>

But just stop seeking, stop redesigning, stop looking at other peoples setups with envious eyes, and just use what you have. Enjoy it. Slowly develop it to the best of your ability. Just accept what you have. </span><br />

Just take some time out. Really look at it. Examine it. Get realistic. Let the binder and the setup you have right this very moment, lead you on a journey. </span><br />

And that's okay. I think you will be surprised at how deep this will lead you and how more satisfied you may actually be with your existing primary planner. The Filofax you have right this very moment did not appear before as if by magic. You obviously wanted to buy it and those reasons were good. Although you may not be totally happy with that now, I really believe that you may find that you can have a peaceful existence with it. It's not that different to marriage. </span><br />

Will you still be chopping and changing planners on a regular basis? Always looking for a better way to design pages, or even worse, collecting so many that they are merely fillers for your bookshelf and really are not serving a lot of purpose except for being a expensive set of trophies of your filo-fetishes.<br />

Get in touch with what you really want and work on making it work for you. Perfection will never be reached, but you can get pretty close. Just give it time. Give it your commitment and give yourself and your planner a break. </span><br />

I love getting up in the early morning when it's quiet and writing my week down in my A5 Malden journal.<br />
I write small notes in my pocket Moleskine notebook and use it to write things out in more detail.<br />
Each night I write down dot points of my day.<br />
On the weekend, I write out how my week went and then write in detail what has been on my mind and heart that week.<br />
It is a glorious routine I love, is time just for me, and is my quiet space.<br />
I am grateful to my Filofaxes for making it such a pleasure able experience.<br />

Yes I did it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it's OK.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
here's the videos to explain how and why....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had the holes in the Moleskine notebooks drilled at Officeworks. They tried to charge me $1 a hole but I bargained them down to $2 for the six. I did it to fit the Moleskine into the rings - but found that I loved the notebook but wasn't keen to keep having holes drilled each time I wanted to add a new notebook. Hence the ringectomy. But I will keep the 'holed' notebooks for this year as I have already started writing in the notebook and there's too much to reproduce. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall? I am sad I had to remove the rings, but have no regrets due to the amount of space it created</div>

No...let me rephrase that...<br />
One of my filofax converts...<br />
Found an almost pristine Mini Windsor at a 2nd Hand store.<br />
He always admired my Mini Cavendish I use as a wallet and wanted to use the Windsor for his own walletary means.<br />
I helped him outfit it to be used as a wallet.<br />
For three months he used it in a normal wallet fashion<br />
Kept it in his back pocket<br />
He came to me recently to ask if the wear and tear was usual for a Filofax?<br />
He assured me he looked after it<br />
So here's a lesson.<br />
<br />
Mini Windsors - not for your back pocket!!!!!<br />
It can be a real bummer!!!<br />

(Warning: one unpleasant word will be used)<br />
<br />
Yesterday I was in a check-out queue. It was Christmas shopping time and crowded.<br />
I had two items, the lady behind me had an overflowing basket which seemed quite heavy.<br />
I told her to go ahead of me and stood aside.<br />
She said: Thank you. You don't see kindness like that too often now.<br />
I said: Don't mention it. Merry Christmas.<br />
As she unpacked her items she turned to me and said:<br />
You know, earlier today when I was on a bus coming to the shopping centre. I was at the back with a lot of other Christmas shoppers. The bus was just about full and an old man with a cane got on and stood in the middle of the bus near where she was seated.<br />
Two well dressed twenty-something women were on seats right beside him.<br />
As the bus moved, it was clear he was tottering and had to hang on as the bus made him sway. Him steading himself with his cane while holding onto the rail.<br />
One of the women looked up and began to stand to offer him her seat.<br />
The other pushed her back down and said loudly.<br />
"DON'T! Sit down! Men will think they deserve to be treated nicely by us!<br />
<br />
ENDING #1:<br />
Just after the young woman on the bus said that, a very elderly woman who was seated directly behind her gave her a huge clip over the back of the head and stated "You don't represent ME bi*ch!<br />
The bus cheered.<br />
The really old lady gave up her seat to the man.<br />
The two young women remined seated and engaged with their smartphones.<br />
<br />
ENDING #2:<br />
After hearing this recount I told the woman at the checkout that was an interesting story.<br />
The young girl at the cash register who had also heard the story made an out loud and indignant comment:<br />
"What a horrible old woman. Those poor girls didn't deserve to be treated like that. They have rights you know!"<br />
<br />
I walked away leaving my purchases at the counter, shaking my head.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas.<br />
