Personal Domino Setup Update!

Hey Everyone! 

I know it has been a week or less since my last Filofax setup video!! But like I said then it will probably change many times! The changes I made are not huge changes but there are enough of them to make a new post about! Hope you enjoy!!

First, I added a "charm" to it.. its an old braided bookmark that was lying around my house. I thought the colors went perfectly with the color of my Filofax!!


The next change I made was to the monthly calendars! I had the vertical month on two pages and really didn't like them so I ordered new ones! They finally showed up yesterday! 


Next, I thought I would show how I have decorated a little further into my weekly diary!



In both of these photos I have used recollections washi tape from Michaels! Sometimes I also add stamps but I want to get a new ink pad because the one I have right now bleeds through the page too much!

The biggest change that I have made with my Domino is the notes section! Last time I had this section organized by the A-Z dividers. I found I did not overly like that method it made it hard to find things sometimes when I could remember what I titled the note. For example, my degree plan for school I could never remember if it was under B for business or D for degree. 

To solve my problem I made sections and put sticky tabs at the top of them to mark them! This way I can file my notes by category rather than name. 


My first section under notes is University. Here I keep things such as:
  • Grades
  • My degree plan
  • Professor information
  • Class information
  • Important school information
  • Schedules 

Following this section I have a section called wish lists. In this section I keep things such as:
  • Shopping lists
  • Reading list
  • Filofax wish list
Next I have a tab for goals. I think that category is self explanatory :)


This is a Goal planning page that I printed and cut to size from www.theprojectgirl,.com
Following Goals is my inspirations category. In here I keep:
  • Quotes that inspire me
  • Magazine clippings
  • Articles

This is an example of an inspirational list that I found 


Next I have Miscellaneous. This is where I keep anything that does not fall into my other categories! So I have a list of good websites, a page with a piece of each washi tape I own (to keep track),  random sticky notes that I no longer need in the front of my planner also get stored in this tab.


Following that I have a tab for my blog and a tab for my YouTube channel! This is where I keep lists of requests or ideas. I also keep the questions for tag that I may do or make notes of what I want to talk about. 


That is all the changes I made to my Filofax as of now. If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments please leave them!

    1. I thought the Domino would be the last planner I would want, but when I got it I fell in love! I can't imagine having any other one :)

    1. Sorry for the late reply! I completely agree. I think I have seen only one since I purchased mine and someone was selling it on Philofaxy. It was gone within days! I bought mine at a store in Florida when I was on vacation there last year.
