I hear a lot of Filofax users complain about how expensive planner paper can get. There are endless comparisons between the different types of paper and what pens work best. Honestly, I love good paper but most of the paper that cycles through my planner will just end up in the trash so I don't bother with quality so much. And because I change my pens so often, I will drive myself crazy trying to match up the perfect paper with the perfect pen.
All that said, I still need paper.
I admit I have a problem...a big problem. I have piles of notepads, notebooks and tablets that I have collected overt the years. And this is just a small portion. What I can say is that these are probably the oldest. Some are even of college vintage. As I caught up on the latest shows on Hulu, many of these have become perfectly sized planner pages.
All that said, I still need paper.
This is a snapshot of the "next steps" portion of my planner. This is where I'm tracking all the project steps for myself and for my work group. With all of the projects we have going, the pages in this section will get filled up, marked up and tossed out quite often. As you can tell, this first page is yellow, reminiscent of the yellow legal pads. And that's exactly what it is.
This is such an easy solution for both my growing collection of paper and having a steady supply of paper for the planner.
So, to all of you struggling with your paper supply, give this a try. Use it, mark it up and then toss it away. No reason to stress about the cost.
