Die liebe wolfwalkerin hat mich gebeten, doch mal mein Setup zu zeigen und dankbar nehm´ ich diesen Schubser an, bringe meinen Perfektionisten mit seinem "es ist noch nicht perfekt" zum schweigen und zeige euch heute meine Kalendersektion.
Ich möchte heute versuchen in englisch zu posten, damit möglichst viele mitlesen können.
Für meine deutschsprachigen Leser gilt deshalb: Solltet ihr in Englisch nicht recht gut sein und euch die Bilder nicht ausreichen, dann bitte fragt was immer ihr wissen möchtet.

As there are so many englishspeaking Filofaxians out there, I will face my fear of writing in english and just do it :)
So turn off your translation tools NOW and read on.
If there are any mistakes in my text, then please play the "Bad Teacher" and tell me. I only can improve my english if I know what I´m doing wrong. Also if there is a common saying for something I try to explain in million words, than also - please tell me ;)
Let´s go!
This is my 100th Post and finally I made it and share my FILOFAX SETUP with you. enjoy.
Since it was available on fILOFAX UK I use my
A5 Purple Malden as my Main Filo. It contains EVERYTHING!! (of course ^^)
And most important my Month on 2 pages, which I want to share with you today.
Let´s open it up.
First of all there is my
CARPE DIEM. You can turn it around and around and it´s still CARPE DIEM.
Like it is in our lifes, no matter how you turn it, it´s always all about carpe diem. Pick your day and make the very best out of it. Enjoy it to it´s fullest. So I really love to open my filofax and turn it around from time to time ;)
(How do you translate "Carpe Diem" correctly? It´s not really USE the day but Pick it up as a flower. So how is the common translation for carpe diem?)
Also my
Post-its and
Avery Zweckform Haftnotiz Register are stored in the front.
As you can see on the pictures above I use the
Avery Zweckform Haftnotiz Register as Toptabs for my diary section. There is "Month" and "Week". This one above I use since I made my very first setup for the Malden, and though it´s quite dirty now, it still sticks on every page I transfer it. So i´ll keep it due to nostalgia :)
This is
my selfmade Month on 2 pages diary for February. I love to have my month at a glance and though it seems a bit chaotic (yay) at first sight, every day is clearly divided into the different appointments and important ToDos of that day.
"how does it work?"
On the left side I can see all the
upcoming birthdays and when the
zodiac sign changes
The
green entries are all the things I´m wholeheartedly looking forward to.
It´s just great to look at my month and see all this green. So many things that make me happy and recognising that there are plenty reasons I can enjoy and love my life.
"BB Ritual day" is my BADEWANNEN BRAINSTORM. (Bathtub Brainstorm) where I sit in the tub, give myself a long and deep spa treatment, read a good book and WRITE DOWN everything that´s on my mind. A lot of great ideas came out on those days.
- I also enter my english courses,
- Full- and Newmoon
- sewing circles,
- weddingplanner dates with bride and groom (yes I´m planning a wedding!! hihihih. So much fun to organise and think about EVERYTHING),
- "F. Mojo" - Time to watch the new video of the Feminine Business Model
- and every sunday´s reminder to write down last weeks weather in Rosenheim and Munich to crochet 2 "my year´s weather" scarfs :)
As I´m absolutely into green for quite a long time now, I reprinted my march. (more green is more happiness :) )
I´m trying to do at least one
BB per month and block the days for it, before the month starts and all the rush comes in. So I really make sure, to take enough time for me and myself.
As you might already know,
my M2P isn´t printed double-sided, so there is plenty room for
goalsetting and
ToDo lists inbetween the months.
On the left page I keep track of my monthly goals.
The first Post-it
shows all my goals for that specific month.
Below there is a bigger Post-it
with all the consequential ToDos to REACH my goals.
On the right page I have the big Post-it with
all the ToDos for the current week.
(That´s where the Toptab "week" leads to)
So every calenderweek gets its own Post-it.
I add all the boxes to tick them, when it´s done (looove that!!!)
And also add a column for the specific day when it has to be done.
(The Post-it behind is for the Woman Circle I initiated. It´s only there for quick access)
The smaller Post-it is either for a special day with many small tasks to do
or for all the things I have to do, when I´m at my computer (pay bills, comment on Blog ABC, answer an email or tweet, post in the filomaniac forum, do some research, and so on)
Behind my
whole year of M2P there is the Year on 2 pages that comes with
fILOFAX´s A5 Professional DpP Diary. But since my system works quite well for me, I haven´t touched the 2013 diary, and therefore wasn´t able to chance the Year on 2 pages into 2014´s one.
So although the DpP´s colour fits very well with my M2P and the Toptabs, I think I will not use it.
So if anyone is interested in buying my untouched professional DpP for 2013, please let me know ;)
Between the washitape divider and Tab 1 of my fashion coloured register, there is room for all the little things that made me smile. Toptab "Favourites"
Songs
Things I bought
Movies
Gifts I made or received
Quotes
Food
People
Activities
Colours
Thoughts
So, that´s it.
I hope you enjoyed the tour as much, as I enjoyed sharing.
Please let me know what you think, what you liked about it, what you might add to your setup, what you want to know more exactly, what mistakes I made ^^ and everything else.
If you also want to use my M2P
please just send me an email to elfenfisch1 AT gmail DOT com
I can share my excel files with you FOR FREE!
or personalise them for you, print it, punch it and send it to you for whatever you´re willing to pay ;)
(change it print it punch it send it - daft punk feat. Nina. lol....)
Have a nice day
Nina
