Reader Under The Spotlight - Josh 2013
2013 2013 2013 <br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a0yTJP44aPs/UfnoEg4dOOI/AAAAAAAAQIc/fEviNHqJkyk/s1600/me+and+phoebe+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a0yTJP44aPs/UfnoEg4dOOI/AAAAAAAAQIc/fEviNHqJkyk/s1600/me+and+phoebe+copy.jpg" /></a>I'm so excited to go "under the spotlight" after reading these profiles for a couple of years now. To introduce myself, I'm Josh; I live in Hartford, Connecticut which is about 90 miles north of New York City. I work as a law library assistant at a local law school and live with my partner Juan, two corgis, and several cats in a big 1892 Victorian home which we are slowly restoring. <br /><br /><b><i>1. When did you buy your first Filofax and what was it? </i></b><br /><br />I bought my first filofax, a personal size red Domino, in July of 2011, which means I've been using a filofax for just about exactly two years now. I was assigned several new responsibilities at work during the summer of 2011 and realized quickly that I needed to find a way to manage all these details; after trying out the electronic calendar I did some research and went with a filofax. My filofax really changed my life!<br /><br /><b><i>2. What other brands have you used or considered using? </i></b><br /><br />I've used Daytimer, which has excellent planner layouts but not so wonderful paper, Franklin Covey, and I used a Success Choice planner binder for several months. Early in my working life I used At-A-Glance and Mead planners. I'm currently esconced in an an older FranklinQuest binder with FranklinCovey compact inserts which is working brilliantly, but lacks the style of Filofax products.<br /><br /><b><i>3. Out of the organisers you own which is your current favourite (Style and Size)? </i></b><br /><br />My red personal Winchester. It's the perfect filofax! I would say the runner-up would be a tossup between the Domino and my navy Cavendish. Both of these have been sold to new owners as I was no longer using them.<br /><br /><b><i>4. How many Filofax organisers do you own? </i></b><br /><br />Two; besides the red Winchester I also have a 1980's black slimline.<br /><br /><b><i>5. What is the oldest Filofax in your collection? </i></b><br /><br />Probably the slimline, which I assume is from the mid-1980s. The Winchester was supplied with all its original inserts and sleeve all dating to 1989.<br /><br /><b><i>6. What do you use your Filofax for? </i></b><br /><br />Everything. I would estimate that my planner is used 70% for work and 30% for personal. I've just completed an experiment of maintaining a separate work planner and personal planner but found the bifurcated system inefficient and unnatural for me so have transitioned back to one book. I keep my contacts, personal and work reference information, diary, all my accounts, etc. in one book.<br /><br /><b><i>7. What was the feature about Filofax you like most? </i></b><br /><br />Really honestly the fact that I can maintain one book with all this disparate information inside. I am a very disorganized person and being able to maintain all the important stuff in one easily portable book allows me to function like a responsible adult. <br /><br /><b><i>8. If you could design your own Filofax what would it feature? </i></b><br /><br />BIG RINGS! Why the heck does Filofax think that busy people can fit everything into 23mm rings? They are too small. I find even 30mm rings somewhat lacking for my needs, but much better than the smaller 23mm size. Every binder should have a secretarial pocket, and covers built like a book (with a spine, hinge, and cover) so they will both lie flat AND be rigid (why is this so difficult for the modern Filofax to achieve? The Winchester pulls it off without a hitch.)<br /><br /><b><i>9. How do you carry your Filofax? </i></b><br /><br />I carry it in my hand or in my messenger bag. I always stick with personal size or FC compact as I need the planner to be very easy to tote in one hand while running around at work. <br /><br /><b><i>10. Which Filofax in the current range do you like the most? Are you going to buy it? </i></b><br /><br />Orange Osterley. I don't think I'll buy one, but I keep admiring them! I love the color!<br /><br /><b><i>11. What is the most you have ever spent on a Filofax? Which model? </i></b><br /><br />Certainly my Winchester, which was in brand-new-in-box condition and for which I paid about $150.<br /><br /><b><i>12. What's your favourite Filofax tip or hack? </i></b><br /><br />Use a set of A-Z index dividers to organize the content of the planner. Twitter user @aspire_to_be was using this setup in her Cuban and I thought it was a great idea. I tried it and have used it continuously ever since. I saw too that Philofaxer had written a post about this method of organizing the planner. <br /><br /><b><i>13. Turning to Philofaxy, what do you like the most? </i></b><br /><br />I love the set-up or "how I use my filofax to manage my very busy life" posts; my favorites are Judith's posts about her personal and pocket malden setups, which taught me so much and really are great examples of "all-in-one" planners. <br /><br /><b><i>14. And what do you not like about Philofaxy? </i></b><br /><br />Sometimes I wish that there was a better topical organizing system (a taxonomy) for the various topics discussed. Some posts I want to find take a while to locate (such as the ones from a couple of years ago outlining the various diary insert options for the personal size). <br /><br /><b><i>15. What was the last music track you downloaded or bought? </i></b><br /><br />Loretta Lynn "We've come a long way baby" on vinyl.<br /><br /><b><i>16. Kate Middleton or Katie Perry? </i></b><br /><br />Neither; Patsy Stone. I love AbFab.<br /><br /><br /><i>Thank you Josh, you can catch up with Josh on his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5vpyMyXEFcYUkKzSt1behQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">You Tube channel</a> and his <a href="http://joshuabuffumlaporte.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">blog</a>.
