3 steps to a more organised life

Filofax personal organiser
The phrase we hear in our shop perhaps more than any other is, "What is it about stationery that makes it addictive?" 

One suggestion is that it gives you the feeling that you're more in control - strange, but true! So, we started to think about the products we have that help you get more in control of your life.

1. Filofax Personal Organisers - the clue is in the name!

Mention 'organisers' and the brand that immediately springs to mind is 'Filofax'.

Interesting fact (maybe!) - the first personal organiser was created in 1930 and was known as a 'File of Facts'.  The popularity of Filofax organisers grew enormously during the 1980's due to its association with the Yuppie culture, making the brand an iconic symbol of the decade.  

As a company they don't rest on their laurels. Their sustainability policies include only using paper from sustainable, well managed, certified sources and leather that is a by-product of the food industry and not hides from animals bred purely for the leather goods industry. You can read more about their sustainability policies here.

2. Carry a notebook - and if you're going to carry a notebook, make it a nice one!

Don't rely on your memory!

Life seems so busy these days that committing everything on your 'to do' list to memory might not be the best plan.  Our No 1 brand for cover designs has got to be Paperblanks. With so many wonderful designs to choose from there has got to be one to your taste.


Why is there never a pen when you need one?

A handy pen pouch from Bookaroo could be just the solution.  Designed to fit an A5 notebook these leather look pouches mean that you always have a pen to hand when you want to make notes. They come in a range of colours to co-ordinate with your notebook, and you can add a Bookaroo ballpoint pen to complete the look.

So, there you have it, our 3 tips for a more organised life.
