Hey Everyone!
Today's post is about how I have my Compact Holborn setup.
To begin, this is what my Holborn looks like closed:

| If you didn't read my Review Post, this planner is made of Buffalo Leather and smells/feels amazing! |
When first opening my compact Holborn you see the six card slots on the left. In these slots I keep two business cards and my Starbucks gold card.
On the right side you see my fly leaf with a smash book paper I hole punched. I use this card to keep information that I need more than once (such as the type of ink my printer takes).
This is just a closer shot of the card slots for anyone who wants to know what they look like.
Next I have a blank index card that I printed lines on and hold punched for making lists and keeping important information on.
Following the index card is a divider I made using scrap book paper. This divider is used to mark where my monthly pages begin.
Within my monthly calendar I use a today ruler from Filofax to mark what month it is. Sometimes, like this month, I decorate with Washi tape around the edges.
Something I always do with my month pages is color in the days from the previous month that are shown on this month's page. You can see this at the top and bottom of this page. To colour these in I like to use coloured lead pencils!
Since a compact has smaller rings I am only using two dividers so as to take up less space. This second divider marks where my weekly calendar is.
Like with my monthly calendar I use a today ruler here to mark the week I am on! As you can see there are two smash book cards that I use to put notes on (for things I need to remember). I do this so I don't take up to much space in my planner.
Finally following my weekly on two page calendar I have two address pages for any important numbers I want just in case my phone was to die! I keep doctors numbers, the vets number, important numbers for school, etc.
I hope you enjoyed my Compact Holborn setup ! Keep in mind their isn't all that much done with it because I have only had this Filofax since Wednesday.

I like your setup! Its straight right to the point and uncomplicated :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I tried decorating and keeping all kinds of stuff in it when I had a personal domino but I found I was unorganized and didn't use it as much. Loving the setup I have now! Glad you enjoyed!
DeleteI once had the Holborn in Personal size. The best Filo out there in terms of pockets in my opinion. Wish a compact worked for me. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI would love to find a personal sized Holborn for a cheap price lol. LOVE the holborn! Glad you enjoyed :)
DeleteLove your set up!! I have an A5, a pocket and a compact Holborn and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed! I LOVE the holborn too! :)
DeleteHello! Great post. How many weeks of the week on 2 pages can you get in it?
ReplyDeleteIn mine I have December 2013 - December 2014 month on two pages, AND from November 14, 2013 - December 31, 2014 week on two pages. Plus a top opening envelope and about 9 other pages plus 3 dividers. So I feel like I can hold a lot in my compact. That being said I wouldn't add anymore than what I have because I feel it would be too stuffed for me. However, at the moment with all that stuff in it the planner lays nicely and it is not hard to turn pages. :)
DeleteIf you are trying to choose between a personal and a compact. I would say a compact is good for people who just want to have their planner pages and a few note pages. If you want to have a lot of sections I'd recommend a personal size! Hope this was helpful and if you have any more questions please leave them and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! :)
