my filofax week #2

So, this is my week beginning the 23rd of April. It looks quite packed but mainly because I wrote my packing list in it (bad move) and my shopping list had to go on a separate piece of notepaper (and because of that, I had to take two pictures)!




What's changed?

{a lot messier than the previous week }
{a lot more 'to do's - which is a given as I moved back to London for my final term on the Friday }

So, another week down. Again, as said last week, if you'd like to be featured, feel free to email me a photo of your week to fadingskylines[@]gmail.com :) You can also add some text too if you want. I would, and I'm sure other readers would too, love to see the inside of other Filofaxes too!

organisation: using oxford project books

So, I came home with one of these today. An A4 Oxford project book. It comes with six dividers (not removable as far as I can see?), A4 paper that is perforated and can be removed easily and also a pouch at the back for loose papers or pens and stuff.


Anyway, that isn't the interesting part... 

Opening it up, one can see this to begin with:


It says at the bottom, 'For more information, please visit www.mindtools.com/oxford'. And I did - it is full of tips which expands on the ones in the project book itself. I'd urge you to take a look as there are so many useful tips on there - some of which I hope to incorporate in my own life's projects! Moreover, not only are there tips for organisation, there are tips for learning things, tips for communication and tips for goal setting - all very useful as far as I can see as I have bookmarked the site and copied down relevant stuff that I particularly value as advice!

my 101 things in 1001 days challenge

I started one of these challenges when I first started this blog but on examination of it recently, I realised that it had many goals on it which were old and not relevant to the person I am now. As a result of this, I wrote a new list.



Do any of you guys have a list similar to this? If so, what sort of goals are on it? The deadline for my achieving of all these things is the 29th of December 2014 so provided the world doesn't end sometime this year, this'll give me about two years and six months to achieve them all.

new feature: my filofax this week {16/04/12}

Time for a new feature! This time, this is a weekly thing. Basically, it's my Filofax week, every week on a Saturday or Sunday. I will pixelate out the more personal things, but the idea is to keep a weekly 'journal' if you like of what my week looks like, each week, but also how things change in how I use my Filofax to organise and plan.

Without further ado, I reveal to all you lovely readers... my week beginning 16th of April 2012!



So, the highlights of this week were:

{ Using a mini notebook page to organise what I would pack to bring home from London }
{ A post offer open day at King's - with a train ticket stuck down to show me what happened on the Tuesday, if I were to flick through 2012 again in the future }
{ A reminder to watch Have I Got More News For You on BBC iPlayer }
{ The use of a sticker with a crown on to jazz up the week - the crown I thought was fitting as it was the King's College open day }

Another Filofax week, next week! (I can see that the word 'week' might become really repetitive with these posts!) Hope you enjoyed this peek into my Affair :)
