nay nay — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 11:02:43 -0400

in the template gallery, there are already 3 sets of these templates - size = 3.75 X 6.75.

DiyP2-Style 3.75 x 6.75 Templates: A selection of D*I*Y Planner 2.0 style templates in "personal" size.

Filofax templates 3.75 x 6.75: Ten of my most used classic templates converted to filofax size (3.75 x 6.75), with a few additions. Even pages are the backside of the odd pages. Two separate templates per page.

GTD templates for Filofax Personal: A bunch of Allen's GTD lists designed to fit a Filofax Personal Organiser. The size is 95mm x 171mm or 3 3/4" x 6 3/4". Designed for 2-up on both A4 and letter-size paper.

FILOFAX!

isn't this fiolfax size? There are at least 3 sets of templates on this site for filofax size. Am I wrong here? I keep seeing the request for this size template, but we already have them or are the 3 sets here missing a specific template that we could work on??

nay nay

please

I too would love to have templates of this size if you wouldn't mind sharing.

thanks

Someone please post your templates for this size. I tried the Adobe thing but they look so awful and there is alot of wasted margin space. I would be foreve grateful

You can tell Acrobat reader

You can tell Acrobat reader that you have paper of a specific size and it will scale the pages to fit. Not as good as official templates, but it works pretty good. I have been scaling some of the Classic templates to Letter size and I barely notice a difference in quality, Sometimes the margins aren't perfectly even, but good enough. You could probably scale the Hipsters up, or the CLassics down to fit your in-between planner size.

oooh, pretty.

Your template pages print so much more nicely than mine do. Mine are always skewed, and it would help if I could cut in a straight line... first graders are better with scissors than I am, plus I have to punch the holes one at a time because my DayRunner has 7 rings, gah.

ME TOO! ME TOO!

I was so disapointed that DIY Planner didn't have the 3.75x6.75 templates. I've had a planner of this size for years and would love to update it with these templates. Please share!

me three!

I too would love this size, as that is what my current planner is, and I am having no luck making templates

3 3/4" x 6 3/4" Templates

My wife and I both use 6-Hole templates this size. I'd be very interested in using your templates if you've posted them anywhere and are willing to share.

Me too

I have that size, too, a very nice leather book with zipper, probably also ten year old but in good shape. Now I am torn as to whether to hope this size if forthcoming...or whether to recognize that my eyes are also ten years older and convert to a larger size. Sigh.

A binder by any other name...

It's true. Lefax was invented in 1910 by an American engineer, a Britsh Colonel made a copy and called it a File of Facts (1921-1930) making a forture selling it to the army. It wasn't until 1930 that the name was officially abbreviated to Filofax.

LEFAX

Blimey,
How can a single word bring back in such crystalline clarity a cold, drifting snow day day in London (in the seventies?) with the Lefax salesperson explaining they were in business before filofax (really) and the pleasure of that first purchase. D@#+ you got me. Now where's my favourites button?

Here's yet another vote for

Here's yet another vote for the 3 3/4" by 6 3/4" template. I'm using a planner that I've had since college and I find this size is very convenient. Hope to see a downloadable template soon! :)

Just another vote for 3 3/4"

Just another vote for 3 3/4" x 6 3/4" size paper. I've started using 3x5 cards recently but in the past all of my organizers were the Day Runner size of 3 3/4" x 6 3/4". I think I remember notebooks of this size as far back as the 1980's?? Unfortunately too large to go in a pocket or shirt pocket which is why I went to 3x5. I've also gotten the moleskine bug recently but I'm not sure yet where that is going. :)

With work it's best to just start.

Long live paper!

Egage, I agree with "No way paper is dead."

I've never completely abandoned paper since moving to personal computers of one kind or another in the mid-80s, but increasingly, with awareness of the bitter and often self-defeating software wars involving copyright, patents, rival OS's, etc., not to mention the considerable expense of time updating software, repairing crashed systems, and learning arcane commands for various programs--and also not to mention all the money involved... Well, I'm more and more appreciative of paper and ink.

Just last night, I dug out an old planner looking almost identical to the one illustrated here, in perfect condition. I may go shopping for a new six-hole punch today... The two I've had bit the dust through flimsy construction. Maybe I need to find a creative solution using a sturdier standard letter-size punch.

This is my (revived with DIY Planner) paper planner, made by Herlitz. I bought it 10 years ago. You can see my 6-hole punch, a random pen and fresh contact log and matrix sheets on the photo too. In the back of the planner there's a pad of (10 years old ;-)) grid paper that I use for notes, in the front pocket you can see a DIY Kit ID with my name and contact information. This planner uses 93mm by 171mm templates. There were none on this site, so I started creating my own DIY Planner based templates in OpenOffice.org 2. Unlike Doug (for the Widget Kit), I'm using Writer, not Draw. I guess I should upload my files to the templates directory, maybe after resizing to 95 by 171 (3 3/4" by 6 3/4"). I'm still experimenting with the templates, adapting more DIY Planner templates to this format as I need them.
