![I still use it every day! - personal rings planner setup update [111]](/img/n.gif)
Oh my gosh. You are a brilliant genius. This just about solves EVERY issue I've been having with multiple bujos/collection notebooks/journaling etc for this entire year. I seriously love this. I'm telling you, you are a visionary.
I am so in love with your new bullet journal. It is gorgeous! Can't wait to see how it all comes together for you :)
Thanks Sara! I'm so excited as well!
Thanks for showing how you're integrating the bullet journal method into a Filofax. I can see how having designated sections will be useful for projects. Hope this works well for you!
Thanks Rosie! And you're welcome :)
I love the idea of a Filofax! Your layout is wonderful. I've been struggling setting up my bullet journal, because I don't want to take many notes and scratch brainstorming things in it because it breaks up my daily logs. But this Filofax would be so nice for categorizing!
Love it! I moved to a discbound notebook for my bullet journal in July and live the flexibility for collections and adding pages. I plan on keeping an archive discbound notebook to slip older pages into but still keep the year archived. I am loving the vertical dividers for the months. Gonna have to borrow that idea!
OMG! OMG! O M G !!!!!! 1. I ENJOYED this video sooooooo much! It lit the flame of Smile and creativity again, with a flavour of childhood dreams. Love it! Thank you!2. I'm now even more waiting to see this beauty in use. I'm struggling with birthing the GTD into my life, and I think you just gave me the key answers.3. Wow.4. Thank you!5. Enjoy!!!!! :)
Really glad you've done this. It showcases several important sections for organizing and simplifying a business.
I'm combining my Planner Pad and 2nd Bullet Journal (2nd only because I currently have a notebook and the 7ring 5x8 calendar which I started yesterday and the lined and dot grid paper are coming in tomorrow)... by have similar sections to yours in the back, the keys in front and the daily notes between the week spreads. The traditional calendar spread will be used much more like the Calendex.
Watching your videos is like watching my brain figure out how to combine everything I do and wish for in a calendar and creative journal come to life in one carry all. Such a relief after years of struggling.
How exciting for you! I've gained a ton of inspiration from your bujo videos these last few months, but I knew right away that I wanted to bullet journal in a 6-ring binder rather than the typical moleskine/lechturm. I've been using my Recollections binder for the last three months and love it! The great thing about the binder is it really gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of moving pages around and being able to create different sections as your collections grow. I love your vertical dividers; I've been wanting to create tabs for my monthly calendars and I may do something similar to yours! Thanks so much for sharing! I have some videos up focused on using a binder (August to July, I specifically talk about it) if you're interested in seeing some fellow binder-bujo examples! :) Happy journaling!
I really love the idea of being able to add and move around in the bullet journal. And that Filofax is awesome, I love that color.
I used this as inspiration for my A6 planner. ADHD brain and love Bullet Journal style of planning but find a notebook too "Permanent". I love being able to move my pages around :)
When I dove into bullet journaling, I went straight for a ring binder. I use a Carpe Diem and I also designed my own dotgrid paper (I used Adobe Indesign) and got it printed and a print shop. I like a little thicker paper, so I used 80# text. I used the monthly dividers that came with the planner, but I'm going to create my own for 2017. For vertical dividers, I got a handful of paint swatches from Home Depot, punched holes in them and use those. I really love the ring binder method...works much better for me than a standard journal.
OMG! I would love to see that!!! do you have it on Instagram or something?
+Zaha Cassis I have an image here! >> pin.it/d4jp8PB
Thank you!
hi, i have been trying to find out out to use adobe indesign to create a dot grid but i can not figure it out, any way you could link me to a tutorial or quickly explain it?
It's fun to have a "dashboard" at the front where you could put stickies with reminders or little quotes, etc. also a zip pocket to hold stickies, stickers, or paper clips if needed. Great start to your new bujo filo! :)
Love it! I am looking forward to seeing how you bring this all together. I know it will be just as amazing as all of the other things you do. Thanks for sharing.
Aw, thanks Andrea! That means a lot :)
This looks like tons of fun! It makes me want to do this for my next bullet journal!
We also mostly gutted the planner to start, one reason I chose this planner is you can get a punch for the pages and they are easy in and out
You may have convinced me to move to a Filofax at he start of the year! I'm going to be finishing my first bullet journal right around December, and you totally showed me what I've been wanting! So much versatility, and being able to have dividers and add in sheets when you need it! ❤️
Yay! I've been waiting, patiently, for this video. I'm in a planning slump at the minute. I'm using an A5 Filofax as a bullet journal but can't seem to find planner peace with it. Your video has inspired me so much. 😀😍👍🏻
Great setup!! I really love that notebook in the back...so...so cute.
I started with a Filofax domino and then tried a smaller note book as bullet journal that I put into the slot where you have your pretty pad. I realized that the monthlies and hourlies planner style work best but the dailies are bullet journalish. I love pretty planning inserts so I am going to bullet journal within a nice daily insert. Will share pics once I am fully satisfied.
Awesome, Meera! I can't wait to see how it all pans out for you! Definitely tag me (@boho.berry) on Instagram when you share pics. I'd love to see!
So happy you are doing the ring binder bullet journal!! I've been using one for a while. I can't wait to see more of your creative ideas!!
Thanks Megan! I'm excited too!
I love your setup for this video.
Target has these really cute binders and papers for the binders in their dollar section, and I have been tempted numerous times to pick one up, but I didnt have a use for it.
I might finally buy one and use it as my new bullet journal :)
I think I've never waited for a video to upload as much as this one! 😆
You should draw memories from each month on the vertical dividers! At the end of the month you can laminate it, and then later on you can easily see what happened that month.
I like that idea, Kelly! Thanks! :)
I adore Goulet pens. Those guys rock!
It is so awesome! Thank you for sharing I love. Th bullet journal concept but love my Filofax. Love your way of combining, you always inspire me Kara!
Thanks Wanda! I'm sure I'll tweak it even more before I actually dive in, but I'm loving the way it's turning out so far :)
thanks for this - I have recently bought this very Domino and wasn't sure what to do with it and tadaaaa here you are with this cool idea - nice one xxx
OOH it looks like it's going to be amazing. love the sections.
Thanks Aislin! I'm excited to dive in! :)
thank you so much for this! I have been using ring binders as my bullet journal but it gets a bit confusing without the dividers that you used.
Looking forward to more Filofax/Bullet Journal videos!!! :D
yes!!!! i have been searching for this! thanks
Loved your video! I'm thinking about adding dividers or tabs for the months as well, as I also do have such a "hybrid planner" and finding the different months in a hurry has been kind of difficult. I love the idea of using your own drawings for that - they are definitely something that makes any planner more beautiful 😊
I love this!!!
Woooow I'm literally drooling on my keyboard.
Oooooh, and I have a tip (not mine, read it somewhere, but I have no clue where it was): To print your own inserts to go perfectly and hustle free into your Filofax, you can use blank Filofax pages. They are good quality and thin, but I'm not sure re fountain pens freindlyhood.
Thanks Kara for the video. You answered all mu questions about filofax. I have already placed an order with Goulet Pens. Hope to see your gorgeous dividers and tabs in your Etsy shop.
Thank you so much for this. I love my filofax and I love the idea of a bujo but I couldn't figure out a way of combining the two. I did try a traditional bujo but couldn't get myself into the routine of it.
Forgot to add will you take your a5 filofax out and about with you? I have an a5 and a pocket. The a5 doesn't currently get used as I feel its too big in comparison to my pocket filofax.
Thanks Emma! I actually have a pocket-sized travelers notebook that I carry around in my purse. My A5 bullet journal stays home because it can be too cumbersome in a purse or bag. I'll be doing a video on my pocket-sized "sidekick" soon :)
LOVE IT
Thanks for the video! Very interesting. I've seen some filofax setups that were appealing to me, but I just love my LTs so much, I don't think I can part with them! Have you tended to write while the sheets were in the binder, or do you take out the paper? I feel like the rings would get in the way (at least on the wrong side, being right handed).
I love your dividers!! How did you go about getting the card stock to be divider shaped? (like free handed or a template?)
Just watching this now, and it looks like you're not using this in the recent videos, but I had a question for how you had planned to do the Filofax. Since you'll be taking out pages at some point to archive, how will you manage the index without rewriting it every few months? And if some pages are not removed, they would have page numbers from the old page arrangement.
I'm super new at bullet journals. love the idea but I love things to be very organized. I like the idea of this filo... it would be just what I would like.... Just wondering, I know you printed your own, but have you have done a comparison of loose grid paper? Thank you so much!
I also have one of these because it's not leather and such wonderful color.
I love the look of your top tab dividers. I have found though, that any sort of page marker or divider that is not full divider width drove me crazy because of the uneven writing surface the narrow dividers create. Happy planning!
Totally understandable. For the most part, I'll be taking the pages out of the binder to write on them so this shouldn't be an issue but it's something to think about for sure!
Filofax seems very great - somehow it feels very convenient for BuJo, because of how much you can "make it yours" so to speak. Notebooks, of course, can be "styled" your way, but the possibility of putting different mini folders, separators, maybe sticker leaflets and such in it, makes it special.
I have such a huge love for stationery, especially planners, and need to do start organising everything more, but somehow I can't seem to make any planning work for me. :( I wonder if trying Filofax would help, or problem lies in me or something else...
I was wondering you were planning on posting the bullet journal pages you made in the tribe resources? I really like them.
Wow, GOALS
That sounds so fun! All the best to you on your journey!!
Thanks :D
This is SO PRETTY!! 😍 and it's not even finished yet!! 🙈
Thnk u Sabrina that helps loads, I'll look now 👏🏻😀
Great video! Even though I don't uso a BuJo style to plan, you shared some very interesting ideas that I can use in my more 'traditional' planning. Love your idea of using narrow monthly tabs, will definitely create my own to use in my planner =D Thank you!!
Thanks Francisca! I love this community and how we can all learn new ideas from each other :)
+Boho Berry yes! thank u so much for your videos! Being a visual person your videos helo bring my ideas to life when I have a guide to go to!
Hi! I enjoyed your video! I just purchased an A5 Filofax and was wondering if you have templates available for your two types of dividers? I would like to make my own, too, to brighten up the notebook.
Even though I am very new to Bullet journaling (in fact still researching it) I noticed right away that I do in fact, like to move pages around or put them all together, So I really like this idea; even if I haven't even started a bullet journal/divider yet. But I do have a question, just how many Goulet journals did you use? Looking forward to seeing updates!
What pen are you using for the headings? It looks like a flex pen...?
Here's a thought, what if you put the mandala print on the front of your monthly tab and the pretty scrapbook paper on the other side?
Excuse me dot inside pages what brand?
The goulet grid pages look very sheer -- do you think it's too thin/sheer to write on the fronts and backs?
That cover is gorgeous. I'm curious to see how it hold up over time in and out of purses, etc.
Agreed! We'll see how she holds up with every day use. I'll definitely keep y'all updated :)
I use a Kikki-k Vänskap in medium size (A5) as a bullet journal for my work were I have a divider also for meeting minutes (it came with the planner) and a Filofax personal size safiano as my bullet journal for personal life and is the one I take everywhere
As you said, we dont need to index them.
Perfect timing! I'm in the process of creating my Filofax Bullet Journal hybrid. Love your ideas. What did you use to make your tabs so perfect???
I designed and cut them out using my Silhouette machine. At some point I'll have some templates for you all once I'm 100% happy with them :)
+Boho Berry Awesome! Can't wait!
Could you post a link for the paper you made?
That is one beautiful binder and of course you will make it even more stunning! : ) Have fun. I know time goes fast but don't u just want to jump in it now or say in a couple weeks once u have it totally the way you want it? I would. With some things I lack patience! : )
HELP! I designed some things on the Silhouette studio and when I printed it none of my lines or circles or squares I created printed! Only text and pictures. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
I'm desperate to go back to Filofax using a bujo system, do you know how you're going to archive you finished moths etc, that's the only thing holding me back buying one :)
What are you going to do with the old pages when you get to the next year?
As of right now I'm toying with the idea of binding my old pages into notebooks that I can shelve and flip through later :) I'll keep y'all updated for sure!
hi Kara. i have been following your channel and blog for a while now and i really love how you set up the bujo. This time your Pilot fountain pen caught my attention and i googled a bit but i only found the Fine nib ones. Yours is extra fine? I wonder if you can make a small video or blog post how fine it writes compaired with other fountain pens. Xmas is coming soon 😀
I so blame you for getting me stated in bullet journal land, I have started my daughter and sister as well. We are obsessed! But we are using the "Happy Planner by MAMBI " it is readily available at Michaels and Hobby Lobby I think you might get a lot of new people following you if you could do just something simple with happy planner in your title, then they could benefit from your channel as well.
curious how you'll make the calendex work without page numbers, and how you plan to archive when you have a notebook worth of pages in your Filofax! Archiving has always been my issue when thinking about switching to a ring binder / loose-leaf option.
Good question! And you're right, I may need to number my pages after all for this very reason. I may come up with another solution before I dive in in January. As far as archiving goes, I'm toying with the idea of somehow binding my old pages into notebooks when I'm finished. I'll keep y'all posted :)

How are you going to use calendex if you don't number pages for your daily logs?

OMG 💗 I LOVED IT!
I saw a couple of weeks ago something similar but I thought that when I run out of the pages where could I buy more?
I'm from Venezuela and is difficult for us to find products of first necessity so you can imagine...
Even though, I love this because I love using this type of notebooks (is filofax the brand or the actual name of it?) for my uni ✨
Filofax is the Brand. This Type of Planner is a Domino in (I think) A5.
+Sophia Hell Yes, it's the Filofax Domino Turquoise in A5.
Sophia Hell Thank you!
Me too!
should I take the plunge into the filofax world? I'm looking at a5 or compact on Amazon
Totally up to you! There's definitely advantages and disadvantages to the system, but I'm looking forward to giving it a try :)
so I found something similar to filofax but it's too big for my purse. so now I'm trying to find a filofax pocket
I love, love, love this idea. Only thing that is keeping me from using bider is how rings make it harder to write. Right now I have planner with spiral and it is anoying me a lot.
Agreed! I can already tell that I will have issues when writing on the left-hand side of the page. The great thing about the rings though is that I can take the sheets out, work on them, and then slip them back in :)
I love the video, thanks !
Can you please post a link to that special pen ?
Sure! It's the Pilot Decimo. I got mine from Goulet Pens :) www.gouletpens.com/pilot-vanishing-point-decimo/c/459
Some questions.(and sorry if these are answered already - I couldn't find it)
- How did you cut out the dividers with tabs?? that's great.
- Can we get your template for the adobe dotted A5 pages?
Hi Rona! I cut out the tabs with my Silhouette machine. And I'll definitely be releasing the template for the dotted pages, just putting the finishing touches on them :)
thank you thank you! so glad to be part of the tribe
I have a Personal sized Filofax and I am having so much trouble finding dotted paper or even just plain paper sheets to insert in mine! :(
Gouletpens did a blog post about how to adapt their notebooks to a Filofax! blog.gouletpens.com/2016/07/how-to-turn-your-filofax-into-bullet.html
love your videos! Would totally buy your top tab monthly dividers if you had them I'm your Etsy shop!
*in your Etsy shop
Do you not use this anymore? It seemed you only had it a couple months.
Hi! I'm VERY new to bullet journaling and have been eyeballing some fountain pens. I'm looking for something with a fine to extra fine nib, but affordable to start out with. I'm on a very tight budget and don't want to spend a lot on my first fountain pen until I figure out if it's right for me or not. I LOVE the Pilot you have in this video, but $130-150 is quite a bit out of my price range. Any suggestions???
Hi Holly! I did a review of two of my favorite starter pens right here: ua-cam.com/video/xT-Iw8x8nE0/v-deo.html
I also highly recommend checking out the Goulet Pens channel here on UA-cam. Brian has a lot of great advice for beginners :)
+Boho Berry awesome!! Thank you so much!!!!
Hey huni I love love watching all your up loads your bullet journaling is such an inspiration to me, i do have a question tho, could u plz let me no what fountain pens u have and which is your favourite as I love fountain pens, what was the name of that clicky pen u have in your Filofax??????????
Keep u-tubing cus your awesome 😊🤗
I think in her bullet journal supplies video she goes through all the different writing utensils she using including the fountain pens. It doesn't include the one shown in this video but if you look up "Pilot Vanishing Point Decimo Extra Fine Fountain Pen" in google it should come up with that pen. Hope this helps!
Sabrina Vasiliadis hi sorry for very late reply thnk u for your help I have found what I was looking for thnk u again 🙂
Will you be putting your daily pages in this? And If so what category will they go in? Also I can't wait for you to start it because I thinking of doing the same thing and would love to see what you end up doing in it. :)
Yes! They'll be in the "Planning" section at the very beginning :)
How do u cut your dividers ? The cardstock?
I created a template and cut them out using my Silhouette machine :)
I wanna have a Filofax(or something similar) so bad. But I don't know any insider tips for templates, holepunching and stuff like that.
There are so cool spots to buy fancy stationery in america and here you have not much and it's so expensive.
And I still don't know if I should use A5 or Personal size :/
Argh, same here!
I feel you!!
Éowyn
the price of the planner ist not my problem. I found some on the cheaper side. My problem is the price for the cute things in my country and the size xD
+Rayowag I can't decide between personal size and A5. I have a personal-ish sized bj notebook that I write in, which is a bit too small. On the other hand, it's easier to carry around than a bigger planner would be. I'm a bit intimidated by A5's size, but I'd love to have bigger pages now and then. Oh, these first world problems... :)
Go to stores like Action (I mean, it's German after all) or Hema or buy on ebay. Plenty of cute affordable stuff
@bohoberry - Just ask Brian to make us loose leaf A5 TR dot grid paper, so then we just have to hole punch it. 🤔
I'm not sure if I understood that the right way, but isn't the Calendex working with numbered pages? Like, don't you put the page number in little squares in the Calendex? How do you plan to use the Calendex if you won't number the pages? Or did I miss something that you canged about it? :D
Don't want to be rude, I'm just curious :-)
You understood correctly, Judith! Someone else pointed that out, and I've re-thought my plans because of it. I'll be sharing how I'm getting around that in my next Plan With Me video :)
Awesome, glad to hear that! Thanks for your answer :-)
how many pages filofax comes with ?
This Filofax came with week on two pages inserts for 2017. I won't be using them, but rather my own paper. The great thing about a ring binder system is that you can add/subtract pages as needed :)
im late cx I was watching your longest flip through and mini tips Monday
No worries! What matters is that you're here now :)
I'm moving from my moleskine bujo to a Filofax clipbook so it was great to see this video! What was the one thing that convinced you up try it out?
*to try it out
Great setup! What was the name of your pen again? I love that it's retractable.
It's a Pilot Decimo :)
I need to pull out my Filofax again! will you be selling some templates for Filofax? If so please include personal size!
Yes! I'm still working on ironing out my designs but I do plan on having them in the shop soon :)
Does this mean you printed your own dot grid paper? thanks as always for sharing.
Yup! I designed it in Adobe Illustrator. :)
could you please share the document so we can print it too? it's perfect!
Bagus banget i like
Jet pens sells A5 tomoe river paper 100 sheets for 14.99.
Thank Klee! I've done some research on printing onto Tomoe River paper and since it is so thin, it's a very difficult thing to do on a home office printer. The search continues! :)
Are you going to add a5 dividers, inserts etc to you Etsy store 🙏🏼?
Hopefully soon, yes :)
Who's watching this in 2017?
Been watchin UR videos b/c U really have sth 2 say & U value what U do. Not every Utuber does.
I bought I Filofax and never touched it since they do not work for me they scare me
you sure do like mint and peach.
They are my favorite colors for sure :)
First!
Hey I love your knotted ring! Where'd you get it?
