I guess if you're reading this you are interested in what I have to say. I will be posting every week and I hope to load all of my videos and Filofax files here for you to enjoy and use. Please contact me at TheAustralianWay001@gmail.com with any requests and suggestions for my videos. I really love hearing what you have to say and what you would like me to do in my next video. Anyway that's all for now. Make sure you check out my latest videos found below:
And here's my video looking at the chronodex system and how I created my own Spiral organizer.
It is a trial only as I need more time to get my thoughts around this visual system
Watch the video - it says it all!
Here are the pictures of my spiral template with an unmarked one as well:
A few weeks after designing the above I took some time to modify the original design a little.
Here is the new design:
I quite like this new spiral as it has the 15-minute increments.
I removed the gray times in favour of small numbered dots.
This is because at a glance, most of us can tell the hour position without
needing the numerals.
It also is a bit neater.
I also toyed with a slightly different version with darker dots. Please message me to tell me what you think.
I have also named this figure the Spiraldex so that my design is not confused with the other.
I based the spiral on the Golden Ratio which helps creates a Fibonacci Spiral but found it had to be shortened a little to create more even segments from 1 pm onward. I also tried to maintain the circular shape which is more aligned to a clock face than the Fibonacci Spiral which increases exponentially.
this amazing proportion can be found in a variety of natural and artistic designs.
Its dimensions have a pleasing and attraction to our minds and its sense of proportion just seems right.
Hence the visual attraction to the spiraldex shape I have designed. It is easy on the eye and the mind embraces it with some sort of natural connection.
I have also played around with a Week-On-2-Pages format for my A5 Filofax.
Here is the template so far...
And another version with slightly larger spirals on the left hand side.
I am still undecided as to which appears best. What do you think?
or perhaps a central version:
Here are some examples I found on Google where others have utilized the original chronodex graph in their own planners
This one incorporates a two-month calendar and is a weekday or 5-day-on-2-pages design It us most likely used as a work organizer.
Another work organizer with a date stamp used as well. I think it is a moleskin notebook.
This one diagram per page design is more like what I like to use. There is a lot of space for broad diagrams, sketches, writing an planning.
Another planner with three-days-per-page with an opposite page for notes and diagrams.
the original Patrick Ng chronodex.
It looks like there is now an ink stamp available Here is a link to the Chronodex FaceBook page which covers information about the stamp: http://www.facebook.com/chronodex/posts/280345952042794
Welcome to my new BLOG!
It seems strange to use that word: BLOG
Sounds a bit like something you coughed up.
"Oooh, look at the blog I just spat out!" "What a nice blog!" "Pardon while I blog!"
Anyway, I promise to be nothing but myself here in these pages. A little bit serious, a little bit rude and most of all, a little bit fantastic! So if you are still reading this, welcome again. Remember - the sky's only blue for 35km - then it's SPACE!!!
