I don't like to over stuff my Filofax but I do have a lot of paperwork that I need to keep track of. I could punch the pages and add them onto the rings but it is usually things that I don't need to keep in there for very long. It could be bills that I need to pay or letters from school etc that once dealt with shouldn't be taking up valuable space.

What I do with this paperwork is to clip it all together with a paper clamp like this one.
 |
| Clamped letters etc |
And hook the back of the clamp into the notepad slot.
 |
| Clipped and hooked |
Doing this keeps all the paperwork secure in the back of my Filofax.
 |
| Everything held in place |
I write the date in my diary that the bill needs to be paid or that the school event is and that the paperwork is clipped in the back of the Filofax. Once it is completed I can remove it from the clamp.

Because everything is clipped together if I want to take my Filofax out with me I can easily remove the paperwork without having to search for it and opening up the rings. This makes my binder a lot lighter!

Does anyone else do this?
Ooh, that's a very good idea! I have tons of those clips and I'm never really sure about what I can do with them. I just don't seem to need them! But yeah, this is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lifeofkitty!
DeleteNice idea..I have tons of those clips... Unfortunately my holborn personal doesn't have a horizontal slot in back.. but can still use a clip on the back.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzee :)
DeleteLove the idea! I can finally put the notepad pocket at the back of my metropol to use! I've been trying to figure out a way to fit my bills in my filofax also and this seems perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mayra, I hope this works for you too!
DeleteI haven't done this before but I will now. I usually file bills in a drawer or put them in a pile on my desk, where they can be easily forgotten. Now they'll be there to hand when I check my diary. Simple and effective. Thanks for the great tip!

Thanks Carol! I seem to have a habit of losing things so doing this really helps me keep on track of everything.
DeleteGreat tip. What is that beautiful matyoshka doll paper?
ReplyDeleteThanks Sonia! It is a note my friend sent me, we're both mad about matryoshkas so she knew I'd love the paper :)
DeleteYes! I have a load I got from WHS that have labels like File, to do, post etc. I use them everywhere and especially for stuff like this! And sometimes you can get them in dinky colours like red and purple, or black polka dots. Love them, x
ReplyDeleteI have the File and Urgent ones, I use them after I have moved the paperwork out of my filofax. I also have some really cute ones but they are so small they don't really hold much, they are very pretty colours though.
DeleteI use the ones with the words To Do and File on them!
ReplyDeleteThey are really handy aren't they :)
DeleteThanks for sharing such a nice piece of information with us.Butterfly paper clamps

ReplyDeleteThis blog is definitely rather handy since I’m at the moment creating an internet floral website – although I am only starting out therefore it’s really fairly small, nothing like this site. Can link to a few of the posts here as they are quite. Thanks much. Zoey Olsen mega 88
