Hi! This is my very first youtube video and it is a review/utilization video on the Filofax Holborn A5. This is from the perspective of a very new user of filofaxes and I merely wanted to express my thoughts of the Holborn A5 and how I use it for my day to day activities!
It is a two part video with the main bit focusing on the Holborn, however the second part is a review on the item that I use to carry my filofax, which is on the Rush MOAB 6 by 5.11 Tactical.

I am looking for a Gray Holborn every now and then. I would like a spare to off load some of my journal entries. I think they look super sexy! Thanks for checking out my video!

This is a fabulous video!! I run a "planner fans" group on Facebook; I bet your wife is a member. It's called planner peace, and it's filled with Filofax nerds. Uh, fans. ;-). I'm a huge graph paper fan too, but even if Filofax stops making their version, you can always just buy any 4x4 or 5x5 graph paper from an office supply store and trim & hole punch it to fit (it's also much cheaper). The great thing about ring bound planners is you can pretty much use any paper you want in them, and just trim/punch it to fit. I can really recommend a brand called Clairefontaine graph paper. It's European so it's already in the A5 size like Filofax inserts are, and the squares are relatively small. It's really high quality, smooth paper that works well with various pens, should you decide to use a pen. Also, you can get weekly inserts that are not timed - they're just the regular rectangles for each day, totally blank. You can get them from the Filofax USA website, along with various other inserts.

Thanks! I really love them too. I tried to not only get imagery from each of the pages but some of the comic bubble dialogue that was memorable :)

Have you a video on how your wife made those comic dividers? A big fan of them would love my own! Cheers for the video!

Nice to have another guy filofaxer here! Would love to see how you and your wife sync your Filofaxes - I don't think anyone's done a video on that yet.

Thanks for checking out the video! That's a great idea about a syncing video! Will have to discuss future plans for a joint collaboration video :)

Great review! This Holborn looks way sturdier than my zipped version. Do you find writing in it on the go (on your lap, in your hands etc.) okay? I need to change mine as I don't have much desk space these days.

@maxholborn5111 10 жыл бұрын

I find it fairly sturdy to write on if I had it on my lap. I’ve had no issues. However, I can’t rule out the possibility that my dividers are providing that extra bit of sturdiness when I write. Most of the time I do write on a desk. I do have an A5 Original that I have been testing and I found it to be less sturdy to write on my lap and I would much rather have it on a desk for sure. If you are looking for a hard cover A5 I know that the Finsbury and the Domino have hard cover A5’s in their lineup, if you are looking at changing planners. The Holborn A5 is definitely less sturdier but more firm than an Original. I plan on doing a review of the Original whenever my diary inserts arrive :)

@TSynnove 10 жыл бұрын

max holborn Thanks for the feedback! I was wondering of this vs. the Original, so very nice to know. I'm keeping away from the larger 30mm rings in the Dominos & Finsburies (+ Maldens), and right now it stands between the Holborn & the Original, so I really appreciate the info & looking forward to your review of the Original :)

I don't use the times on the pages either because they are geared to 9-5 people and I work 5a-1p LOL

im considering getting into the world of filofax, but super scared i wont be able to organize it this good!

@maxholborn5111 8 жыл бұрын

+chris wall I appreciate the comment! I was bit intimidated organizing my Filofax the first time and I think that the utility that filofax’s in general have is the ability to mold and update when you see fit. If you find down the road that something just doesn’t seem the way you want it, then you can make changes due to the modular flexibility. That particular setup in the video is going to change very soon because of lifestyle adjustments and Filofax allows you to make those changes quite easily :)

Regarding your contact section, consider using them as a A-Z filing system for your notes. Many of us use that section for notes. If you really need your contacts in there, you'll save space just printing them out.
