At the front I have the diary. I create and print my own diary, On the left side is a week to a page with 3 lines making 4 spaces for writing. The right side is my notes side. It has a weekly tasks section, a calls section and a full length To Do list section. The To Do list can be split into various other section if needed. I find that this layout works really well for me and if I do change my mind, I can easily go into the laptop and change the format and print it off.Next I have the admin section. This is where I make general notes about the business. Lists of craft fairs and what to take to them. Excerpts from meetings with contacts, the whys, wheres and whens (these come in very handy as reminders of discussions) and notes from any courses I've been on. I use my Moleskine cahiers to actually take the notes on. I also keep a timeline of everything I do concerning the business, like notebook specs, when I've submitted tax forms to HMRC, updated my Sage programme with purchases and sales, sent out brochures/ flyers and had contact with clients, etc.
There are small sections next. My Ideas section is just that. Anything that comes to mind, no matter how silly the idea, goes in here. Silly ideas can be adapted to great ideas later on when I'm in a different frame of mind. I also have drawings and photos of things I like that can become an inspiration for a new notebook. I have a section for website and blog. Domain and blog details are kept here, in case I forget. Then the finance section. Since most of the financial info is on my laptop, the notebook just has finance codes, etc. as a backup.
I really have to go through the Filofax again and reorganise it. I feel that I'm not getting the best use out of it. Need some ideas here
Do you have a business Filofax? Tell me about your layout.
Talk soon
Love & hugs
