<-- This is my Filofax, it's a Domino, personal sized one. I got it a while ago but have recently started using it properly.
I am a rabid note scribbler, I have notebooks and bits of scrap paper all over the place. Ideas come at me all the time and from all angles and if I don't write them down I'm apt to forget them. I tend to reach for the nearest thing to write on. When I started bookbinding I earmarked notebooks for various things, but the relevant book is never the one that is to hand is it? Then I thought of just writing everything down in my Filofax, it's always near me, it just needed a bit of organizing and some tarting up.
I ordered some paper for it, plain so I could draw as well as write in it and some other stuff I felt it (I) needed. I managed to organize the note section by punching out tiny tags and sticking them throughout, like bookmarks or page turners and labelling them. Yesterday my computer was out of use while I had a check disk (CHKDSK) running so I did the tarting up. Mainly recovering binders etc, but still a good effect I think.

So, that is my working Filofax, as it stands at the moment. I have an idea to add a skull and bones rivet to the front, once I've figured out how to do it without smashing the skull to bits.
In searching for templates I've found a couple of good Filofax blogs to follow, Philofaxy often has links to other blog posts as well as being full of information. I got a ton of templates from My Life All in One Place they are in either editable Word doc or PDF formats.
I do have a smartphone in which I could keep all this information but it does look a mess with scribbled notes all over it ;)
