Planner mashups

So this is cool: Steve of Philofaxy recently took a Timer 21 (a French format that’s similar to the North American Trinote), a Filofax A5 hole-punch, and his A5 Filofax Pocket binder and voila! A brand new planner. Steve also discovered another format, the Timer 17, that’s compatible with the Personal Size Filofax. UPDATE: without extra hole punching!

Of course, his task was made easier by the fact that the Timers 21 and 17 already use a loose-leaf system. Here in North America, our planners are bound books and thus aren’t as easy to adapt to other covers. Still, we once heard from a woman who took apart an ABP/1 and put the pages in her FranklinCovey binder. When there’s a will, there’s a way!

Folders and notebooks and planners, oh my!

How cool is this: Karen just sent me a sample of a new product called Exafolio, a nifty little black binder that holds a Rhodia pad (or a President planner), offers 6 slots in which to file papers, and even has a couple of pen/pencil holders and some miscellaneous zippered pockets. I tote it around to meetings and feel like the slickest kid on the block.

It’s currently sold out at Pendemonium and Vickerey, but with enough interest, perhaps they’ll restock…

UPDATE: The Exafolio is no longer available at Pendemonium, as far as I can tell, but it’s back in stock at Vickerey!

Sunday planning

I depend on my little Sapa X to help me organize my work-week, but when it comes to weekend planning, I don’t tend to do much more than jot down notes about parties and social engagements.

Many of our readers, however—students in particular—have requested more space for Sundays. Since we just got another email to this effect, I thought I’d reiterate a comment I posted here last fall… There’s good news for Sunday planners: Quo Vadis’s sister company, Exacompta, is currently in the process of finalizing a new format called the Horizon 7, which has a full seven days’ worth of planning space (8 am – 9 pm), a daily contact area, and space for more notes on each page. It’ll be introduced in the 2009 calendar year, so you don’t have to wait much longer!
