Just want to say thanks Jen for keeping up with your you tube videos. I know its time consuming. You really are giving the world a gift and helping people. I have been watching your videos since Nov 2011. I look forward to your new ideas & helpful hints for me, as a modern day housewife as well. You are a wonderful example of what a biblical Proverbs 31 woman should be:) Thanks again for inspiring me and encouraging me in my everyday housewife life, makes me feel like what I do matters!
I cannot tell you how much organizing and project management ive been doing since watching your channel! Such an inspiration you are, although it does get pretty spendy!!
I check in a few times a day...usually breakfast, lunch, and in the afternoon & at the end of the day. That's why I keep it in my kitchen most of the time!
I guess it was you who have started all this Filofax mania on youtube! I just got my first Filofax recently and made my first video about it! And it is all started because of you! Your video was the first one that I saw about FF! Thank you for that!
I have two A5s and a personal Filofax. After I saw your video with this A5 I searched ebay for months until one finally popped up and I got it. I use my Malden in ochre (both A5 and personal) for work and so far have just sat and admired my Finchley in imperial purple. I like how you have this one set up -- maybe I'll try the page per day ones, been using the week per page and week on two pages. You always give me good ideas, thanks!
Sweet, sweet Jen, you are a gem! Love your elegance and gracious demeanor. And you organizing skills. You inspire so many! Love from a lady, double your age, in Sweden.
You really have inspired. I was never taught how to be organized and I just never knew how. And.i stress alot because i am always loosing things and loosing time. Thank you.
I was diligent about using my planner in the beginning of the year but I had sort of gotten lax with it. This year I use the Franklin Covey day on 2 pages system. It works ok but I fiind my problem comes with when I have to take notes for meetings. a perfect thing would be to have space in my planner to keep everything together. Love your sticky note idea. Your videos often inspire me to tweak my own systems for the better
So nice to see you back in your Craft Room, although LOVING Vlogust! I feel like I have learnt so much more about you since your last 'official' video.
I really liked your idea for the Avery colored stickers.I have them but wasn't sure what to use them for. Now I'm going to start using your idea. You always have great ideas for calendar organizing.
I started one, then sadly it went bye-bye. But it's going to be my new project - just got it out of the closet and will be updating slowly but surely. Jen's video has me inspired to use my planner again, too... So we'll see...
I like how you put your new years resolutions in the very front. I did a video on my finsbury too. So far it's only available in German, but an English version will be up soon. ♡♥♡
I use a filofax A5. I have day to a page and I write down my to-do's for the day in the main part, any appointments in the top part and then any left over space at the bottom for scribble notes. I've got five sections for projects or information I need all the time, and then a simple a -z which not only has addresses in, but also sheets for emergency contacts, educational etc. I think I would be pretty lost without my filofax now.
Hi Jen, LOVE this! In my planner, I write my To Do Lists on a Post-It note and then stick it to the page of the day I am on. Then I just take the post it off when I'm done and there's still space to write the day's appointments etc. I'll see if I can upload my video on it as a response. LOVE your back drop too!
The Martha Stewart line at Staples in a nice, affordable option. You can chose the color of your binder, and what paper inserts you would like. A little tip: I bought the Martha Stewart calendar to go in my planner. It's nice, but she has "tips and tricks" printed throughout the calendar which really limits the amount of space you have to enter in your own dates, appointments, etc. When it's time for me to change the calendar, I'm going to get a different brand, with more writing space.
THANK you so much for your update! I have implemented this system earlier this year and just needed to 'tweek' it recently because I was finding things just werent working quite the way I needed. I love your idea of using the Martha Stewart sticky labels, but I have a ton of small sticky post its I need to use up. I would love to leave a video response in a few weeks when my new system is down and has been in use for a bit. Thanks for all of your wonderful videos and ideas Jen!
Jen...I tried using this years ago when my children were small...epic fail! lol I'm inspired to try again.... I have notes all over...I mean all over and my Mary englebreit daily calendar just isn't enough space to keep it all in one spot....Thank you for taking such time again...I learned lots and have been re-inspired! **hugs**
Your ways are something I have to follow you are my inspiration at first when I hadn't seen any of yr videos I was a little sloppy but know even my relatives and friends have seen the organization change in me thx so much
i love your calendar videos. Planner type things make my heart go pitter patter haha i love it. School just started and I kind of just fell into what i consider my agenda/planner match made in heaven. I think its my perfect system after all these years :)
I already have a planner that works for me but these organization tips were extremely helpful, so thank you for making this video…really enjoyed it! :)
I was in Staples and they had a big Martha Stewart office and organizing section. I was way overexcited. I actually thought about you and thought " I bet she would be excited about this." Then I see you have bought dome items from the collection.
Very nice! I'm a wife and mom of two boys who works full time and we all have very busy schedules. However, I don't think I would utilize this as much as you do.
Loved your video. I bought a set of Le Pen markers after seein g your video and I think they are great. I have a smaller Filofax but need to get in the habit of planning my day the night before. Your videos inspire me to stay on track.
Hi I live in Scotland and recently subscribed to your you tube pages....it's really helpling meget organised and feel better about myself - I have 2 sons age 10yrs and 12yrs so and a husband so there is a lot going on in our house .. so thanks for what you do and look forward to your next video..Tricia Kirkcaldy,, Fife, Scotland.
This is the A5 Finchley in Imperial Purple. Still available through Ebay. But like you said, Filofax offers a ton of different organizers in A5 size! Also non-leather and inexpensive.
You look so fit and tan! Really amazing. I love these videos and what I would love to see is your annual home maintenance schedule by season. For example, is there any kind of home "project" you do to get ready for fall? I want to try to get ahead of the game with regard to home maintenance. You've really helped me get my work, home, kids, and husband on track this year and you're very inspiring. I appreciate all your videos so much. Take care.
You have inspired me to try the paper agenda again but I will get a size I can carry around. BTW: the container store currently has Elfa on sale, and I watched all your closet videos again for inspiration. Wish me luck.
You got me totally hooked on Le Pen. I'm amazed that you could recite what all your colors are for. I have trouble just remembering where I put the darn pen case! :-) (eagle creek of course, also your suggestion).
I find it amazing that this question seems to pop up in each and every video from Jen! Don't you think that this is rather a personal decision and none of anybody elses business?
Oh my god that's the mother of planners haha, I'm kidding, I just wish I was organized like you are Jen, you're an inspiration to all the compulsive desorganized people like me xD Love your videos :) lots of love for you and your hubby :)
Hi Jen, love all your videos both on OLJ and MHWL :) You said you used a Filofax through college, well I am starting college next year and am seriously considering an A5 Filofax to keep organized. Would you be able to do a video explaining how you organized your Filofax during this time? It would be greatly appreciated. Lots of love xxx
I hope I didnt sound snotty lol just wanted to clear it up. Thanks for this vid Jen I was looking forward to it so much since you said youd do it. I was thinking few months back to try the day on a page like you have but I don't have that many scheduled items per day where I require the time slot portion. Now that I work most of my day is at work. I work with children so I don't use an agenda at work.
Also what she has is not A5 Finsbury. The Finsbury looks the same cept no horizontal line in the front. And those are still available on the u.s. Filofax site.
I am soooo in love with your filofax system. I hope that sometime again this year you do another giveaway with them and I hope that I can win and be organized like Jen :) Have a great day
Jen thank you for the video ! It is a great video to see right before I start school to get ideas on how to stay organized with my classes and schedule. BTW could you do a review on your nails ??? They look really great on camera but I wanna know the real deal and I know I can trust you!!! Also I miss your daily blogs :( but I know you have been having technical difficulties
I live in Miami and I don't have a garage for my car, which means it stays in the plain sun all day long. I often leave my Filo in it and never had a problem. I never even thought of that. Sun doesn't nearly produce as much heat on the pages as is needed to erase things.
Hey Jen will you do a video on your trip planning? You travel a lot and I would like to take some tips from you on the booking and the planning process. Especially when you do Disney again, but for all your trips. I would think that would be very interesting. Thanks
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this video!!! You have such a gift for organization and your planning videos are so inspiring! Thank you so much, I am so grateful! Quick question: the to-do list you write your daily chores on that you would take with you while you do errands, do you mind if we could get a peek? :)
I found the same problem with LePen. I now use Staedtler ball 432 pens. They come in many colors; and because they are ballpoint, they don't bleed through. ;)
Hi Jen, I've watched this video a few times now and it has really motivated me to implement a Filofax in my life! You mentioned that you got yours on sale, so I was wondering if you could let us know the next time you come across a sale on their website? I am a teacher and don't really have time to check their website everyday. Thanks in advance!
Hi Jen!!! Thanks again for the video. I am trying to be organized...and have a question. I like carrying a planner like that also..but the problem I run into is..It’s so big that it takes up alot of room in my purse and I usually carry a big purse..right now it’s a LV Speedy 35..so it’s pretty large. Do you carry your planner around with you all day?? Or do you leave it at home when you go out? Do you carry it with you and just leave it in the house?? Thanks
Great video. Love your planner and how the Vera Bradley pens coordinate so well! I just recently set up my system using the Martha Stewart line. I made a video of It and the system I use if you want to check it out on my channel. Keep up the great videos!
Jen, how much is this Filofax planner? Or can you give me a price range reference . I'm going back to school in about a week (10th grade) and I would like to look into this!? Or i would love some of your recommendations for a good planner for my age . I'm 15/10th grade. Thanks !
WOW Jen!! Thanks for this video. Gave me some great tips on how to organize my calendar. I feel soooo very unorganized. Are you available for hire? Just kidding. Love all your videos!! Off to staples tomorrow.
Which current style of Filofax folder comes the closest in style and color to your A5 Finchley in Emperial Purple? I'd love to hear from anyone who cares to offer an opinion. Thanks.
what color is on your nails althougj I love the concept $200+ is a lot for me for a planner I will have to check my local supply stores for more afforable option :)
Totally agree! I also love the Frixion pens! They are available from jetpens.com and come in all the colors of the rainbow. And ALL ERASABLE without rubbing out the paper. Brilliant!
If the videos are too long for you, why are you watching them? I think Jen's video length is fine. I appreciate longer videos because it shows the person making the video wants to be thorough.
This Filofax planner looks like a great idea for school, too! I like that there is enough room to write out everything!
Just want to say thanks Jen for keeping up with your you tube videos. I know its time consuming. You really are giving the world a gift and helping people. I have been watching your videos since Nov 2011. I look forward to your new ideas & helpful hints for me, as a modern day housewife as well. You are a wonderful example of what a biblical Proverbs 31 woman should be:) Thanks again for inspiring me and encouraging me in my everyday housewife life, makes me feel like what I do matters!
You're right! I'm not sure what model I have...I'll see if I can find out
I cannot tell you how much organizing and project management ive been doing since watching your channel! Such an inspiration you are, although it does get pretty spendy!!
I check in a few times a day...usually breakfast, lunch, and in the afternoon & at the end of the day. That's why I keep it in my kitchen most of the time!
I guess it was you who have started all this Filofax mania on youtube!
I just got my first Filofax recently and made my first video about it!
And it is all started because of you! Your video was the first one that I saw about FF! Thank you for that!
I have two A5s and a personal Filofax. After I saw your video with this A5 I searched ebay for months until one finally popped up and I got it. I use my Malden in ochre (both A5 and personal) for work and so far have just sat and admired my Finchley in imperial purple. I like how you have this one set up -- maybe I'll try the page per day ones, been using the week per page and week on two pages. You always give me good ideas, thanks!
Sweet, sweet Jen, you are a gem! Love your elegance and gracious demeanor. And you organizing skills. You inspire so many! Love from a lady, double your age, in Sweden.
You really have inspired. I was never taught how to be organized and I just never knew how. And.i stress alot because i am always loosing things and loosing time. Thank you.
I want to get a planner for Christmas! This gives me inspiration for being more organized in the new year!!!
I was diligent about using my planner in the beginning of the year but I had sort of gotten lax with it. This year I use the Franklin Covey day on 2 pages system. It works ok but I fiind my problem comes with when I have to take notes for meetings. a perfect thing would be to have space in my planner to keep everything together. Love your sticky note idea. Your videos often inspire me to tweak my own systems for the better
I got my first filofax yesterday and already set it up - so exciting!
I ordered my first filofax today - a domino in the personal size, so excited :)
So nice to see you back in your Craft Room, although LOVING Vlogust! I feel like I have learnt so much more about you since your last 'official' video.
Everyone has a different system! It's great to have found what works for you :)
I really liked your idea for the Avery colored stickers.I have them but wasn't sure what to use them for. Now I'm going to start using your idea. You always have great ideas for calendar organizing.
This is definitely on my current Wish List. Maybe Christmas so I can start the year off fresh and organized!
I started one, then sadly it went bye-bye. But it's going to be my new project - just got it out of the closet and will be updating slowly but surely. Jen's video has me inspired to use my planner again, too... So we'll see...
I love your nails, Jen! I wouldn't have ever thought they were press ons!
I started listing that kind of thing in the more info bar
I like how you put your new years resolutions in the very front. I did a video on my finsbury too. So far it's only available in German, but an English version will be up soon. ♡♥♡

Always enjoy your organizational video. This has been a great help. Thanks Jen!

Hey, good to know! I'm checking on Amazon right now to see if I can find Jens calendar.Thanks for the tip!
You got me totally hooked on Le Pen. I'm amazed that you could recite what all your colors are for. I have trouble just remembering where I put the darn pen case! :-) (eagle creek of course, also your suggestion).
Once I get the money, I'm SOOOOOO going to invest in one of these! :) Thanks for the videos Jen :)
I find it amazing that this question seems to pop up in each and every video from Jen! Don't you think that this is rather a personal decision and none of anybody elses business?
Your so organized- i actually want to start using a similar system!
Oh my god that's the mother of planners haha, I'm kidding, I just wish I was organized like you are Jen, you're an inspiration to all the compulsive desorganized people like me xD
Love your videos :) lots of love for you and your hubby :)
I love your videos! thank you so much for what you do. I've learned so much from you and have been able to organize my life so much better!

Would you be able to do a video explaining how you organized your Filofax during this time? It would be greatly appreciated. Lots of love xxx
yes! Budget planner would be great :) Thanks Jen
Great! Thanks so much! I will open up a tab so I can go onto the Filofax site now!
I hope I didnt sound snotty lol just wanted to clear it up. Thanks for this vid Jen I was looking forward to it so much since you said youd do it.

Jen can you do a review of the contents of your pencil pouch and your Vera Bradley pen and pencil set?
Wow you're organised!!! I need to get myself into gear!!
I love my Franklin but get lost as to how I should organize it. Thanks for all the great ideas. Office Max in the AM.
Also what she has is not A5 Finsbury. The Finsbury looks the same cept no horizontal line in the front. And those are still available on the u.s. Filofax site.
I am soooo in love with your filofax system. I hope that sometime again this year you do another giveaway with them and I hope that I can win and be organized like Jen :) Have a great day
@Courtney Pronk I think she has a video on that on her dog channel WTZT
Jen thank you for the video ! It is a great video to see right before I start school to get ideas on how to stay organized with my classes and schedule. BTW could you do a review on your nails ??? They look really great on camera but I wanna know the real deal and I know I can trust you!!! Also I miss your daily blogs :( but I know you have been having technical difficulties

I'm recently loving your videos!!!
oh my goodness!! i have a serious OCD for organization and i think i just found my idol!! lol. =) i love your videos! great tips!! thank you.
I love organizer/planner videos :) Would you do a video about Meal Planning/Recipe Management, please? Thanks so much!
Lindsey
Such a great organized system! Thanks for sharing :)
Hey Jen will you do a video on your trip planning? You travel a lot and I would like to take some tips from you on the booking and the planning process. Especially when you do Disney again, but for all your trips. I would think that would be very interesting. Thanks
Hey Jen! Do you have a special system on how to organize recipes?
Look up the FriXion pens. They are gel pens but you can erase them. I LOVE them for color coordinating my calendar.
I love your organization videos!! I really like your pen color coding system :)
She mentioned in an earlier video that is from Pottery Barn. I don't recall the collection.
I got inspired to use my planner the same way but I wasn't as good as you were on sticking to it lol. I plan on trying again.
I totally use the reusable stickers for similar things!
Have you looked on ebay? And etsy may have some
How often do you refer back to the Filofax after you've planned out your day?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this video!!! You have such a gift for organization and your planning videos are so inspiring! Thank you so much, I am so grateful!
Quick question: the to-do list you write your daily chores on that you would take with you while you do errands, do you mind if we could get a peek? :)

suggestion try putting velcro on the pencil case and binder so its easy to take off but doesnt explode open
Great video. Love your planner and how the Vera Bradley pens coordinate so well! I just recently set up my system using the Martha Stewart line. I made a video of It and the system I use if you want to check it out on my channel. Keep up the great videos!

I really enjoy all your video's and vlog 's
Sweet! Isn't that a great feeling? :)
very much like a video you have done before...........but still very enjoyable, thank you....
I can't find the day on a page fill ins for the A5 size :(
That's such a pretty polish colour :)
LOVE your organization....really great. thanks for sharing.
Hi, I love your nail polis !!! please, what colour is it ?
Thank you. ( I love your videos !! )
lots of good tips, thanks for sharing!
what color is on your nails althougj I love the concept $200+ is a lot for me for a planner I will have to check my local supply stores for more afforable option :)
Did you finish your craft room/office yet?
Totally agree! I also love the Frixion pens! They are available from jetpens.com and come in all the colors of the rainbow. And ALL ERASABLE without rubbing out the paper. Brilliant!
Please do a nail polishing video. I am curious to see what you use to make your nails dry faster.
what type of work does Don do?
i really like your vids can you put a radio about organizing backpacks?
Jen, love your filofax videos. Any other tips are great. :-)
If the videos are too long for you, why are you watching them? I think Jen's video length is fine. I appreciate longer videos because it shows the person making the video wants to be thorough.
