Filofax: A5 vs Personal
JeffAbbott | Nov 22 2006
I'm thinking of moving from a Moleskine planner to a Filofax (more adaptable and customizable). The A5 is the "desk"-sized version, the Personal is smaller. I'm curious if there are any Filofax users on the group who would care to comment on the virtues of either format. I am self-employed and usually at my desk (90% of the time), not running around to meetings and appointments, so I think I might like the bigger A5 size. At the same time, I don't want it to be so unwieldy that I don't take it with me when need be. Most of my bumps with GTD come in not documenting all my projects thoroughly, and in being slow to review, so I have thought the A5 might help me over those bumps, with more room to write. Yes, I've looked at both sizes in the store--just curious about any real-world usage. Also, can anyone speak to how the Filofax paper holds up with fountain or gel pens? Thanks, 3 Comments

Sorry to reply so late after your initial post, but I've used Personal and A5 size filofaxes. For me, a big plus of the A5 filofax is that it can take A4 (standard office paper this side of the pond) folded once- that means I can tuck things I need to remember into the filofax without lots of folding or worry about crumpling them. I can also use pre-printed refills from diyplanner.com without too much faff. And, of course, the A5 gives lots of space for note-taking. The narrow page width of the Personal really crimped my style. All that said, the A5 is quite a lump to carry around... » POSTED IN:
