In fact, see below for some tips … More 10 ways to use a Filofax jot pad
Today I’m going to introduce you guys to my most recent experiment, my pocket Filofax Identity that serves as my weekend wallet. This planner was a “hand-me-down” from my mother (she never used it, and found it in a drawer; I adopted it), and initially I wasn’t sure how or what to use it for. … More Using a Pocket Filofax as a Wallet
