my pocket finsbury i use as a wallet

hello... back again with another post... this time i'm going to show you how i use my pocket size finsbury as a wallet... i thought that i would give it a try and i actually really like using a small planner as a wallet...  if you are willing to sync up both planners than this might be something to look into... let me take you through "Walter" ( that is what i lovingly call my pocket finsbury)...


the pocket size finsbury has 2 card slots, which i keep my 2 credit cards, my health insurance card and prescription card... there is also a mesh pocket where i have my driver's license...  there is a full pocket where i keep my stamps, receipts are other random pieces that i need to hold onto...  in the front i keep 2 top-loading envelopes one is where i keep pictures and the other has gift cards and coupons... 


next i have the filofax assorted sticky note insert... it is the perfect fit and i found replacement flags at staples that i can just add when i run out...


i have my flyleaf with some sticky notes that i have for shopping lists and other stuff that i change regularly...  next up is my diary inserts...


i use the 2PPW diary... i only put appointments here... my personal filofax holds all my information... this just keep track of my schedule and i am able to have that with me at all times...  i do check both planners every night and make sure that they are both on the same page...  this could be considered time consuming, but i really enjoy "playing" with my planners, so i don't mind...i keep a page finder at the current week and a translucent arrow pointing to the current day...

 
 

i use the other sections just to keep notes or jot down any tasks that i think of when i am out and about without my personal planner... i did alter the A-Z tabs and made them monthly tabs using an ombre paper from a 6x6 paper pad and labeled them with the months... then i printed out one month per page sheets from the philofaxy website and glued them to the tabs... 


i added a zippered envelope in the back, where i keep another small post-it note pad and post-it flags...  the next 2 parts of the binder are my favorites...



the zippered pocket by the pen loop is where i keep my change...i try not to hold onto too much change so that my binder does not get bulky...i also use a bic multi pen in lt. blue, pink, purple, & green... it helps to continue my color-code system in this planner...  last but not least is a pocket that runs the entire length of the binder and this is where i keep my money...

this is really is a good system, that i am enjoying...  have a great day!!!

  1. Thank you for sharing. I'd heard of your blog before, but this is my first visit. Looks like there's lots of good stuff here for me to check out.

  2. The newer finsbury organizers do not have the money pocket (I haven't seen it on the videos I've watched) which is a shame as that's one of the biggest draws to using this as a wallet.
