Absolutely love this, have been using it for 6 months now, as I am a big believer in writing a review for an item like this after you have given it a run for its money. It is superb, holds everything i need, is well made and is making my life so much easier. This in partnership with my online planner etc is a fabulous combination. All I can see is other areas of my life that need to be organised in A5 bliss!!

Beautiful organiser. When I saw the Black Friday price I couldn’t resist to buy in stunning sage. I’d been considering this for a few months, using a cheap binder in the interim to see if the Filofax system was for me. Like another reviewer I’ve found it to be my perfect notebook and diary in one. I am using the Time Management Day to Two pages diary for day to day at work that enables me to plan and time block my day on paper and also make daily notes along the way. I find it calming to have a paper organiser that reduces the amount of time I’m having to look at a computer screen, as I’m doing that a lot anyway. We can still be in the digital world, but I can only achieve so much in any one day so need to plan each week/day and write things down. It is working well for me and I feel in better control of all my various projects and responsibilities. The large rings in this organiser mean I can also have some personal diary sections too and there is plenty of room for other notes pages/sections.

Gorgeous item but for the price, the quality is poor. Poor stitching, misaligned rings, rusty rings. Absolutely love Filofax and their designs but not the quality.

First of all, I’ve come back to Filofax after trying a variety of planners. I need a planner for a diary, to do lists, tasks broken down into stages and also random notes of ideas that I have during the day (really like a commonplace book) I have tried to put in all of these requirements into various kinds of notebooks over recent years- usually this entails a complicated index system and entering items as they crop up is not that straightforward if I have to find them quickly later. I now realise that the ability to remove and insert pages is essential and Filofax fits this requirement. My problem is that I use a lot of pages and the Norfolk A5 with its large rings suit me perfectly. The two pen loops, card storage slots, zipped pocket and slide in pockets are useful. I chose the lavender colour which I love and the quality of the leather is excellent. The matte surface will keep well and will resist cracking. To sum up-I have found my perfect system.

Love the design with more than enough pockets to hold notes and other things. Two pen loops is a bonus. Unused as yet as it’s an early Christmas present.
