Yesterday I jumped on to the filofax website and came across the compact adelphi filofax, I looked at the price and almost fell over.
I have one sitting on my shelf that I paid 3 times less for it (win!)
I really love this planner, however when I purchased it I wasn't too sure what use it would have for me. up unitl now it has been used as a password, goals and random other things binder.
I got to thinking, I sometimes spend more time fluffing around 'planning' then actually doing. I am sure I am not alone in this.
Fed up with it, I decided to downsize back into my compact.
So what's in there now?
I thought of taking out everything that I use on a daily basis and pop it into the adelphi filofax, I am shocked at how much I have in my personal sized planner that I don't actually use.
Let's see how long this lasts before I swap back.

So what's in there now?
- My weekly pages for the next two months
- My university tab (which won't be needed after the next week because I am on holidays!)
- My skincare tab
- post it notes
- a few spare sheets of paper to write notes on

I am sure you will manage just fine once you get used to the thin-ness (is that a word?). I changed from an A5 down to a personal down to a Compact Violet and I haven't needed anything that I had left behind in the bigger ones. I even use my Violet as a wallet and key holder - works perfectly!

Ohh thanks for that.
DeleteI am hoping it works in my favour. It is shocking how much you end up hording in your planner without using it.
Loving the compact more and more. :)
