Extras I use in my Filofax

Hey Everyone!

Today I wanted to share with you the extra things I use in my Filofax to make it (1) more productive, (2) a bit prettier, and (3) more convenient. So lets jump right in!

These are the Martha Stewart dew drops that you can buy at Staples. I use these for things that happen on a weekly basis. These dew drops are more convenient than writing the task in my Filofax because I don't need to rewrite the same thing each week. Instead I just make a note on one of these (such as Do Blog Post) and each week move it to the day I want to do that task! Very efficient and they add a bit of colour to the page. You may have to make a new one once every few months, but that is still more efficient than rewriting the same thing weekly! :)

The next thing I carry in my Filofax is hole reinforcements. These are great to have on hand when a page starts to rip out of the rings. You really don't want to lose that important paper! 

Colorful hole reinforcements.
Bought at Walmart. 
Another item I carry in my Holborn is coloured dot stickers. I use these the same way most people use mark-it dots however these are cheaper and more accessible. The only downside I can find with them is the limited colours.

These papers are from a smash book note pad. The cover of the note pad is laid on top (I chose the "Blank" one however there are different kinds). I tore them out and hole punched them to use as note pages. If you are interested in knowing more about this you can read the blog post I made all about how I use these! Great when you have limited space or information that you don't need to keep in your planner permanently.

Bought at Michaels
May also be able to find them at Walmart in the Craft section! 

These are the same idea as the smash book pages but cheaper! This is great for someone on a tight budget or who wants to save money. All this is is a pack of 100 blank index cards that I ran through the printer. If you want to know more about these you should follow my blog because I will be making a post about how I made these! :)
Blank Index Cards
Bought at Walmart, Target, or Staples.
Can be found at any office supply store, drugstore, or "dollar" store
Those are all the extras I use in my Filofax. I hope you enjoyed and got some ideas for your Filofax! If you have any interesting extras that you use in your Filofax please share them in the comments, I would love to see what you use and get some ideas! I plan to do individual posts about a few of the items mentioned above so if you are interested in see those please follow my blog! Thank you so much for reading and Happy New Year to everyone! 

Talk to you later,

  2. Hi, we use most of the same things, and I do the same with the Martha repositionable labels. Saves re-writing and makes me remember because it stands out on the page. Regards.
