Thanks for watching!!
"I do keep both business and home in this one journal: I have one life, so I have one planner." Thank you!
Thanks!! Hope they're helpful. :)
Love that your planner is functional. So hard to find functional planner videos. Lot's on using tons of stickers, glitter, etc. Your planner videos are a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for sharing.
yay! Thank you for watching!! :)
Yes, I agree. This is a planner/bullet journal of a mature woman, with her own life, commitments, plans. Too many cutesy childish bullet journals around, with a lot of fluff and very little substance. To each their own, but I'm a woman, not a teenager, and I need functional first, and then space for creativity for when I feel like it. Thank you for this peek into your life and your excellent journal!
YOUR filofax is awesome! So organized with all your pull-outs. Extremely functional, yet totally cute.
Awe!!! Thank you!! I love my DIYFish inserts... Lol. :) hope it was helpful!
Ok I know I’m 5 years late 😂 but this is FABULOUS! After 3 years in an LT bujo, I switched to the Cousin for 2 years, rediscovered rings mid-2020 (after a 20-year hiatus), and then decided to downsize to a Weeks for 2021 (which is how I found your awesome channel). Much to my surprise I discovered I really missed rings (and after only being back in them for 6 months last year), so I’m sort of in both at the moment. But anyway, just had to let you know this is the best Filofax Bujo I’ve seen!
Awww!! Thank you for watching! Sounds like we’ve been on a similar journey... 😀
I am new to the whole bujo community and originally started following Cara over at Boho Berry. You have some great ideas and I love the flexibility of having a bullet journal in a Filofax! Great ideas1 Especially the @Agenda pages! More videos please! Hailing from the UK! Xxx
Yay!! Thank Holly! Yes, I'm due for a new one. Glad you found it helpful! Hello in the UK!! :)
Awesome!! I also use my Filofax as my bullet journal. I used a note book for awhile and it wasn't working. Glad to see someone else using the Ring bound system. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Thanks
Very cool concept. I love the retro vibe of a Filofax and the versatility and the flexibility of the bujo. I’m migrating at the moment. It’s rather satisfying
Pierre Live South African Lifestyle Excellent! Thank you for watching! :)
Just fantastic organisation. I’ve got my Filofax yesterday and was completely lost. You gave me a vector how to organise it efficiently. Thank you so much. I rewatch the video several times already 😁, looks like it’s an instructions to a journal. Love it!
Sorry I’ve been missing. ThNk you for watching AND your comment!
Your video was very helpful. I laughed when you said one life one planner. I wish it was that simple for me. I seem to have a separate planner for everything. Looking at how you use yours it has inspired me to try to combine my setups. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Andrea! Yes, I find if I try to keep more than one then I inevitably need the one I don't have with me... Lol. As it is, I duplicate too many things in the one planner....
As a functional planner who recently finished David Allen's GTD book...I'm so glad I came across your channel & absolutely loved this video!! Hope you create more, I would love to continue to watch! No need to be nervous, you spoke so clearly and didn't waste time, and kept me engaged throughout! You, Carrie Harling, & Alexis Giostra are my Planner idols 💛💛😍
Christine M thank you!!! :) I need to do another one, it's been too long.... just want to make sure it's useful content. Lol
I've watched lots of planner vids. This is definitely one of my faves ! There are ideas here I actually use. In fact, I set up my own planner similar to this.
Nick Carraway thank you!! That’s so awesome to hear!! Appreciate the comment. :)
Melanie I just have to tell you that your @Agenda sheets are awesome! I printed them out last night and used them at work today. BRILLIANT!!!!
Yay!!! So glad it was helpful :)
You printed them out?
I keep watching this video because there is so much good information here. I went back to my personal ring binder after seeing this and it is working out so well. I'm trying to be in one book for work and personal plus my side business. I need to keep it simple yet organized. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks Anne! Yes, simplicity is key. Occasionally I will notice that I'm overdoing something and need to scale back. If it doesn't help you, get rid of it. :) I appreciate your comment - thanks for watching!!
Amazing!!! The love you have for this setup really shines through!!! Thank you for sharing it!!! Very inspiring to see a bujo in a ring binder and GTD too!!! It is perfect!!!
Thanks!! Yes, I'm addicted to my planner and loving this new set up. :)
I'm not big on notebook planners, but this is very impressive! Love the foldouts, great video!
Thank you!! :)
I'm just getting ready to set up my first Bullet Journal and your videos are incredibly helpful! Please keep them coming!
My filofax is red too! And I love the Vanishing Point. I've got 3.
Fantastic educational video. A + on lighting, voice, content, and everything else. Thank you.
Thank you!!!!
I enjoyed that!!!! My favorite part of your system is the review card you made- that would really keep me on track. I love the original and how you merged it all together! Thanks for sharing. The 80/20 style! Yes I totally get it, I'm about 95/5 with 1000percent of deco items...LOL
Thank you so much for your comment, I'm not sure why UA-cam grabbed it; sorry I just saw it! :) Thank YOU for watching! Did you make a little checklist card for yourself?
Hey! Your videos are awesome. I've been toying with the idea of moving my bullet journal into a Filofax and you inspired me. It's really nice to see someone who actually uses a filofax as mainly functional! I really hope you can do more videos. Would really love to see an updated flip through. My favourite thing from your planning is the meeting/phone call agenda sheet - I'm using that too!
Yay!! Thank you! I need a new video. Apparently need to make it a task in my bullet journal... lol
One of the most gorgeous Filofaxes I've ever seen! Stunning!
Great to see someone who talks as fast as I do! Great video
Sharondippity Great to meet a fellow speed talker. Lol. :)
thanks Melanie, love it and well done on your first video!
I absolutely love your setup! Looks very clean, organized and your video is so very helpful. I have purchased so many planners looking for just the right one. The way you have your set up is just as I would like to have mine. Thanks for sharing :-)
Awe, thanks Victoria!! I'm glad it helps... :)
HI Melanie!! Congratulations on your first Video!! I love those monthly pull out sheets and the way you can open it up and see the week at the same time!! Very cool that it has tracking too. I really like those blocks on the weekly spreads that look like tracking blocks. Your planner is so Pretty AND functional. Lots of inspiration. Hope you'll keep up the videos... Great Share!
Very kind!! Thank you!!! :) I have a new found appreciation for the people who make videos all the time!!!
Really enjoyed this video! Just spent so long looking for ideas and getting 1 min into videos and not watching until the end, watched til the end and have loads of ideas thank you !!
Awww! This means a lot. Thank you!!!
This is a very good video, I loved all the ideas. Yes, please make more!
I love the color of this planner I have it in coral !
Great video! I'm new to planning so seeing how you organize your planner was super helpful. And I need mine to be functional, I'm not as concerned with decorations, so your approach is right up my alley! I'll be looking for more videos, including the one you mentioned in another comment on Bullet journaling. Good luck!! And thank you for making this video & sharing it!
Thank you!!!! :). I need to wrap head around the Bullet Journal one, but that will likely be next....
I love this video! I think I have the same front cover in my personal size planner too! I really like your style as I feel it relates to me and my style. I would like to incorporate some bullet journal style in my planners and notebooks and I really like how your set up is. Great job!! Thank for sharing and the inspiration:)
CocoAriel Designs thank you!! Sorry for my delayed reply!! :)
I'm interested in the symbols. Still trying to get a good symbol system here. Always love new ideas. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks!! I posted a pic of a Key on my IG account. @melliesm1th. Hope it helps!
Don't be nervous. You did great!!!
Awe! Thanks!!! :)
Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed your video and got quite a few ideas for my PlanAhead 6 ring mini.
Absolutely loved the vid!! Watched it twice & subbed. 😄😄😄 I'm new to bullet journaling. I loved the "one life one planner" part. I feel off from tracking trying to be 2 places at once...one book for personal & one for business. You did an AWESOME job & look forward to seeing more. 😄
Kia Murray awe! Thank you!!! :)
I have the same Filofax & the red always calls my name 😻
Loved the video!! So many wonderful ideas. Please continue to make videos. You do such a great job at it!!
Awe!! Thank you!! :) I know I'm overdue for another.
Love your video! I would love to see more of your bullet journal!!
Thanks!! I'm gearing up to record one hopefully today!
Thanks for sharing Melanie!! You are a born natural! Great video.
Thanks Anna!! I've watched so many, lol...
I love your setup! Watching this inspired me to purchase the Diyfish inserts :)
Katrina Nacu | Thank you!!! I've tried, but I can't move away from them. They truly are amazing!!
I just purchased this one, I cannot wait till it arrives!!!!!! :)
Brilliant!! I love a good messy (the highest compliment!!) planner! Thank you 😊
Thank you for watching!!
I wish you would do more videos because I find it really relaxing to watch them and you make a lot of sense!
Irina Maria Tracy Awe thank you! I know, I'm due for a new video... we're getting ready to move so been hectic. I will try to get a new one in soon! Any requests?
I am new to planning so everything you post is highly appreciated especially since I am the "alpha-male" of the house and I have a lot of stuff to keep an eye on and I was very happy to see a video that simplifies everything so...I definitely have something to learn out of all your videos and I am sure I will continue doing so no matter what you talk about. :)
Irina Maria Tracy so glad you find them helpful. :)
Love your work. No need to be nervous - you're fabulous. Thanks!
Ha ha... Ya, can't seem to not be nervous. Lol. Thank you for watching!!! :)
This.is.awesome. Soooo many great ideas! TFS!
Thank you!! :)
You did a fabulous job.. ty so much for sharing all the links to download info. ~k
love everything about this video. i hope you do more.
Awwww!! Thank you! :)
I have the same Filofax, but mine is super plain compare to yours! I love yours! You are so creative! Thanks for the ideas!
Thank YOU for watching! I hope you make yours homey too.... :)
Just found this video * * * you have giving me some great ideas on how to change up my orange Filofax ! Thank you and YES please do more
Awe!! Thank you! I hope they help. :)
Thank you so much for this video! I've always kind of felt like an imposter in the BuJo community because I still have my Kikki-k planner. I really love how your monthly page pulls out and the weekly goes on top. I'd love to see some more detail about what you put in your BuJo section and how it differs from what's on your weekly pages.
Thanks Sherri! I literally just uploaded a Bullet Journal video of planning my day. I don't think it's as coherent as this one was; but hopefully something in there is useful. :)
Great job, loved your video.
I repeatedly review this video! Thanks, it's a lot of great setup info!
CoffeeBookChick awe!! Thank you for watching!!!! :)
I'd have never known that this was your first video and that you were nervous if you hadn't said it. Awesome job on the video! And I really like your planner set up. I'm just now trying to make my own planner and will be stealing some of your ideas, if you don't mind. lol I've subscribed and will be checking out your channel, hoping for more videos!
i really appreciate what you presented here.
thanks
Great first video! I really enjoyed it.
looooove your full setup. want to copy all of it :-)
Lol!! If it's helpful to you... Have at it!! :)
That monthly calendar thing is genius because i always forget to check on it when checking my weekly spreads. Wonder what would be a good paper to use to not be destroyed from the wear and tear but not be too bulky
The fold out one? I used a heavier paper and it always held up!
I'm new to this but i have been a planner for the longest time and I LOVE you!! the one life on journal statement is absolutely TRUE!!! Love it!! any more tips please share!!!
Colette Dinala awe!! Thank you so much for your very sweet comment!! I’m contemplating a new video. Thank you for watching!!
Great video!!! keep 'em coming!!!
This is great! Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Great video!! I've been wanting to downsize to a personal size ,but didn't know where to begin! You have awesome ideas that are all so functional!
Please let me know where you found the "fold-out" monthly calendar? That is EXACTLY what I am looking for just for the monthly spread since I need more writing space. I recall you mentioned it but couldn't quite pick up the name!
Thanks in advance for your help and looking forward to another vlog!
Madelynn Dorsey thanks!! I think I linked the inserts in the description, but they're by DIYFish on Etsy. Mine are the V3S1 in personal size... :)
Great video! Lots of awesome ideas, thank you :)
I absolutely love the "I have one life, one planner" comment 😍
Lol, thanks!! I’m sure it’s offensive to some, but to each their own... we all gotta do what works for us! 😀
Fab video! Thank you for sharing 😁
I love your handwriting!
20pcangel80pcdevil Awe!! Thank you!!!!
I liked your video. Thank you for sharing!
do you have different tasks...in your monthly tracker and weekly tracker ???
I love your videos!
One of the best planning videos I've seen, so glad you made it! I'm sure I'll be watching it again to implement your system into mine. I need more functional and I love your setup. What pens do you use in all the different colors? Please keep making more videos - I'm subbing! TFS!
Hi! Thank you so much! :). I use Pilot FriXion pens in 0.7 for most stuff that you might "pencil" in... i.e. Things that could change... Because they are erasable. I also have a 0.4 *five-color* Coleto pen that I am really loving! It's such a fine point, and my writing can be small... So it's perfect for personal size... And is super smooth on the paper! :). Hope that helps!
great ideas and very realistic ..., good for you
Thank you!!!
Bonjour ou peu ton trouver les recharges pour les filofax. ? Je pensais dans les leclerc culture rayon loisirs creatif .en tout cas votre filofax es super bien
Wonderful ideas😄
what hole puncher do you use? and also what font is it you used for your weekly monthly review that was laminated? thanks. and I loved this video 😀
mjad11 hi there! Sorry for delayed response... it's a six hole punch I found on Amazon... by Rapesco. I think I searched for personal Filofax hole punch. Not overly expensive but works great!! As for the font; I think I link it in the description of one of my videos. It's a free download called "Pea Marley". It's one of my favorites!! I think the website was Kevin & Amanda?
I love it! Can you please address how the monthly, weekly, and daily bullet journal differ and are not repetitive (in your case). Thanks!
Montaubrey ouch!!! I don't know how I missed this. I'm sorry!! If you're seeing this - monthly I use for big picture, events, appointments etc. things that could effect my scheduling. Weekly gets a bit more granular, including important upcoming day sensitive tasks, daily is way more specific. Think boulders, rocks & sand. There is some repetition, but usually on things that must not be forgotten. Does that help?
@@Addicted2Planning Boulders, rocks, & sand...love this!
Wow, that was really really REALLY good! So many ideas, imma try them. =D
Yay!! Hope it helps. Thx for watching. :)
Great video. xx
Hi, love the set up. On the lady dash board did you cut it down or print it?
jackie perkins hi there! It is a 5x7 print suitable for framing - that I trimmed to fit... I think I logged her shop in the description... :)
You're awesome! Please try to add more videos-you're a natural. All of your ideas speak to me. Thanks!
earthpuppy13 Thank you!! I'm way overdue. Lol
How do you make your dividers out of impressions ? It looks great !
GameMoni hi! Sorry for super delayed response. I just cut down cardstock paper I got at Michael's and added a tab with a punch I got on Amazon.
Alphabet Dating! Love that concept! And yes, love your set up too. Thanks for sharing
Super fun idea, right?!
Hi Melanie, you've experienced both hardcovered notebook and the filofax System... Which one do you like most? Would you do a video explaining the major points on why you use one or another in any specific time of your life? I love your videos, awesome job!
Mari Rosas great video idea!! Adding to the list!! I loved my Filofax; but I’m really enjoying the hard bound book. 😀
I really like your methods!! Im not sure if you'll ever see this, but great job!! 😁
Awww thank you Jennifer. :)
great video with dome great ideas. I really want some oli clips but difficult to get in UK. x
Really? That stinks... Do you guys have a "Container Store"? (Apologies for my ignorance)... That store carries them here also... I'm surprised Etsy doesn't ship them there.... :-/
They do. But with is around £38 with postage for 5 clips! Etsy is around £18. X
+Kate Rigby If you join this FB group you can get them in the UK for a reasonable price facebook.com/groups/725737600815633/?fref=ts
Ah thanks for that x
This was awesome. Thank you so much
Caroline Alexander thank YOU for watching! :)
where did you get the clip you used for your this week marker? I think you said the name but I've never heard of it before and couldn't quite make it out.
nichole d hi! Sorry for my delayed response. It's an OliClip. They are sold on Etsy by OLIBLOCK. www.etsy.com/shop/OLIBLOCK
❤️ love the video. Your dashboard that you bought what size is the picture?
Rebecca Duggan it was one of her 5x7 prints that I cut down to Personal Size. :)
Great video, keep them coming! :)
Hello and thank you for your video! Enjoyed. Quick question - how do you archive the months that you remove, do you keep them, throw them out, scan them, etc? (Apologies if this was already asked and answered.)
mitzibella100 hi! Thank you! I archive them... I pull them out and keep them together with those loose binder rings. Last year filled a 1.5" ring!
great video!
Wow! Why aren’t you still on YT? You’re a natural at this- so easy to listen to. I would love nail tips too! ;)
You are so sweet!!
super helpful! thanks
Wow!! Love this! Can I ask what you do with the pages as you take them out?
Thanks!! Right now I just have them clipped together. I have an idea for an archive binder, just need to try it out. :)
It's so funny! I have the same pen (Pilot VP Black Carbonesque) and I plan to use it with my duck egg blue Original from spring on. Till then I'll be using my much worn copper one with my burgundy Pilot E95S, a perfect match. I've just bought a pillarbox red for next fall and now I'm torn which pen would look best with it. I was so sure before watching your video. :D Sorry if I'M being nosey but I'd love to know what ink and nib size are you using! Great vid, love the functionality of your planner.
girlydroid nice match!!!
What do you have your VP inked up with? Just curious. :)
girlydroid I tried some of the fun inks in the cartridge... but found I just love the simple black Pilot refills... low maintenance, solid color, quick dry, no bleed.... (how many 'wins' is that?)
I have the same Filofax
Nice setup.
Great info. I was just about to give up on my personal size planner, but I think with your video I have some ideas to make it work. Question: What paper do you print your inserts on?
I knew this question can up!!!! I'm sorry for the delayed response! I print on 28lbs paper.! It's been great!
Also, sorry, what pens are you using to write on the washi?
In the video I am using an "American Crafts Slick Writer"... But I'd recommend just a Extra fine point Sharpie marker instead. Cheaper, easier to find, and does just as good of a job.... :)
First, you did great! I would love to see/hear more about your bullet journal section. What grid paper did you use? Thanks and I hope to see more!
Thanks Meredith! I have been prepping for a Bullet Journal video and hope do film it in the next day or so. :). I appreciate your kind words!
Oops!!! Did I not respond about paper? Sorry! I use a free download from Ray Blake, link is in the description. I print on what I think is 28lbs printer paper.... I will show / reference the paper more in my next video. :)
Love and subbed!
morglee93 thank you!!!
I don't know when I've enjoyed a first video so much! Truly, a functional setup, some really brilliant hacks, and a lovely quirky personality (yours, not the planner!). Can't wait to see more videos! Are you on Instagram? Subscribing here now!
Wow!! Thank you for that lovely feedback! You are very kind! :) yes, I am on Instagram:: @melliesm1th. I'll look for you as well. Thanks again!
Hi!
I'm from Italy, love your style!
I'm sorry if my question will seems a dumb one, but how can I buy and print the images of Holly Nichols? I do not know how Etsy's site works. This one is beautiful.
Thank you.
:)
Sam80F hi! Not a dumb question. Go to www.etsy.com and look for Holly's store. Pick the print and add to cart. The print is mailed to you as a 5x7 cardstock. Does that help?
Oh, thanks a lot for your answer and kind explanation. It helps, thank you! :D I will try for sure! Just quick questions: 5x7 are inches? So Holly Nichols sends to buyer's home the items?
Thanks!
Sam80F yes, it's 5" across and 7" down. I had to trim it to fit. They are so beautiful... worthy of framing in the house.
Thank you!
I just bought one for me and one for my Mom! :D
