I'm not huge on decorating my planner pages. I marvel at the creative things people do with themed weeks and washi tape, but I prefer a plain slate to work on (I am working on using colour codes though). On the other hand, I do love me some sticky notes, and can't get enough of cute paper clips and binder clips. I tried keeping them in the pockets of my Filofax, but it made it too lumpy for writing. What's a stationery loving girl to do?
Get one of these nifty organisers of course!
I saw a number of people post these on Facebook and in other Filofax sites. and found out that they are passport organisers that you can purchase from eBay at a steal. They come in a variety of colours too, I chose turquoise, since for some reason there was no yellow (gasp!)
I stuffed it full of sticky notes, sticky flags, clips, index cards and a multi-ink pen, and keep it on my desk for when the sticky note urge hits me.
Completely unrelated to my subject line, here is a little tip. We're going on a trip, and I always get stressed out making sure I remember everything. So I added a Checklist sub-section to my Tickler section
And now I can make a list of everything I need to so and take and check it off as I go.
I'm keeping it separate from my regular to-dos since it's a very specific list and I don't want it to get lost among all my regualr tasks. This would work well for one-time specific projects too. It's barebones for now, but I plan to make or find a checkbox notepage that I can print out in the future.
Oh and I said something about a giveaway!
I have extras of these mini binder clips, and I'll pick three people to receive a pack each! Just leave a comment telling me your favourite planner tip or trick. I'll leave the giveaway open until Monday night May 12th.
