 How are you today? Anyway, I tried to film this once already today with my cell phone and Let's just say I shouldn't have done that because that video was crap. Anyway, hi! I shared an image a few days ago on Instagram and social media of me having taken out the rings out of my Filofax and I am going to show you how it turned out. So, I used to carry a Filofax Maldon This is the actual one I used to carry in my wallet. It's beautifully, you know, aged and The only reason I didn't do it to this one is because I wasn't sure I was gonna like it and I had a spare So I did it to the spare. I may end up doing it to both. I don't know, but I carried this as my wallet. It had a calendar in it, which is great It has lots of pockets for cards and Notes and then it has this pocket back here, which I kept money and you could keep documents in it But I kept it money in it. It was my planner sat slash wallet I have anxiety issues and so when I'm having a bad episode I can't remember where I'm supposed to be or when or you know when a certain thing is happening So happening or any of that. So, you know doctors names or Medications or so I wrote them all down in here and it also had my money and everything else So I always had this with me in my handbag Now I do do art for therapy to help me with all of those issues Which you all know by now if you've been watching my channel and I carried this Pocket-sized travelers notebook in my wallet for a long time that had actually three Sketchbooks and it these two I never did work in not that I won't at some time, but I never did Did I just see nose? No, no And it had this Pocket insert thing in it, which is meant for that which holds cards on one side and has a zip pocket on the other I had a couple spares of them But I carried these in my wallet all the time along with you know the other necessities and I bought the file of fax mall didn't heard about it from Kent in the first place years ago and When I bought it I bought two of them because I thought if it ever breaks, I know I just know I'm gonna want a spare hanging around so I bought two I was working full-time at the time and Money for me wasn't an issue. And yeah, so I invested their leather. They are not Not cheap Sometimes you can find them Reaper find them at the thrift shops. I have in the past found some at thrift shops and They're fabulous when you do because they're already broken in anyway So I carried these around a lot of God, you know glasses now on the asthma inhaler and I just thought you know How can I like? Reduce this down. I'd like to just have this Then came Ken came out with another video after not putting any out for a while and he sort of reminded me Oh, hey, I did this thing and now I'm doing this thing. It's so I was like holy crap. I think I need to do that so I took out my spare file of fax and I pulled the rings out of it now I'm not going to show you how to do this because Kent has a really good video on it And I will put it in the link for it in the description below and it was actually even easier than he showed on camera and mine came out in One piece it was super super easy And I'm gonna I need a post-it note hang up Okay, finding a post-it note to cover up my insurance information led to oh, yeah I want to add post-it notes to the thing Yeah, anyway, it's been one of those days So Ken has a really great video on how to take these out and why he took them out And there's a series of videos on him using his file of fax without them in there. So I love his channel I do recommend you go watch it by the way and Yeah, I really like it. So this is my new file of fax without the rings in it and I love this because as I said with the old one You've got a little pocket here, which is where I keep my driver's license and a credit card. I've got my ATM cards some more Payment cards gas cards. There's a little zip pocket here. I could put Tokens in a little bit of change If you have a parking ticket like a meter, you know if you're parking in a parking lot where you have to have the ticket To go pay before you leave. I put these Number I said something about the zip pockets Hang on So I had three of these I had two I wasn't using So I alternated them and put one with the card pockets and one with the zip pockets and tucked it inside because that's not going to be usable But that leaves me with one card pocket and one zip pocket on the outside Which is usable. So I just tuck these in here. I've got my most used store cards here Um Generally, this is a gift card. I got for Christmas. Whoo. Oh shaky camera again. Sorry. Um, I have a zip pocket here Which I put all my insurance cards in my Red Cross card any important business cards Other store cards. These are some, you know coupons a few postage stamps And that's great. This is The sketchbook from that other little pocket size travelers notebook it had a different Plastic card here with the pen holder on it. It was just cardstock and for this purpose I thought you know what I'm going to make a new one I'm going to laminate it which I did and I'm going to do that so it will tuck here Then I have my sketchbook with me that I can continue to work on I have a little dashboard to just kind of keep it flat and I have I Took the pen loop off of the old one and I e6000 it on date this new one I did put a couple staples to hold it on while that dries And then I put this on the back side of the staples, so you don't have the staples. I love that believe this is a Moleskin pocket-sized mole skin Monthly notebook. There's a lot of different sized pockets a a lot of different pocket-sized mole skins You have to look at them all and choose what you think is the right one going to be for you can't use as one that has large spaces for Every day this one doesn't have that on purpose because I'm not going to use it for that I'm not going to use this for daily journaling. I really just need it to keep track of stuff So I have a section in the front for personal information I have a section in the front for doctors and medication I have plenty of blank space blank note space to add other things as I'm working on it I'll just write over this. I don't care what's in the background Kent didn't say he's coming out with a video about what he's going to do with the front of this This year because all the mole skins have some kind of thing in the front like this and he doesn't use it either So I'm anxious to see what he does. I've got plenty of blank pages to modify mine a little bit mine has The month on two pages, which is perfect It's just enough room for me to write appointments in and then if I need to make more notes There's two note pages before you start the next month and then in the back there's a bunch more note paper and This was on one of the pages in the old file of acts I glued it in here and as was this and I left both of them So I carried them forward and again, I attached them with e6000 I have a pen here. There's a pen on the new pen loop over here There is also a tuck pocket here now if my cell phone was a little smaller It it might fit Kent's actually fits in there. My mind's not gonna. I have a charging phone case. It is not gonna fit there You also could put them some things in here too if you wanted and of course then one of my favorite things about this file of Facts you have a pocket in the back for cash So really when I'm going out if I have one of those days where I don't want to take my handbag I can just take this and my rescue inhaler and my keys and I'm good. I love that. So anyway pocket file of facts Alterations get brave take those rings out and the way Ken says to do it My husband did help me it actually doesn't I didn't do anything to the holes That's how they are you could there are other people on YouTube who actually punched through the lining Also, and then they put Rivets in there or eyelets in there and then they put elastic and turn it into a sort of a Midori notebook So you could do that too. I like this very much and It still closes so that's good and this is you know, it's not necessarily any Less bulky than this when these were full. It's a little bit less bulky But it's only one thing instead of two things. That's what I love about it Anyway, I hope I get I hope it gives you all some idea. Go watch Ken's videos. I am going to Attach some I just have this feeling I might at times want Some sticky notes. Oops So I grabbed a small pad of sticky notes out of my stash I'm gonna just put them there and then if I need to like make a note for somebody or write down a phone number I got a place. All right.
