Updated Filofax Set-up: Personal Ochre Malden

[@a_white3260]

I have had a bad day today and have just watched your video - it's really uplifted my mood! I just wanted to say thanks so much - please keep making them. You are so organised - it is just what i need to make my life more organised. I think this is what is making me feel so over whelmed right now. Thanks Rachel so very much. Your great ideas will help me so much going forward. I can't wait to get started!

[@racheldunaway3313]

angela white Hi Angela! I am sorry to hearing that you had a bad day today, but it warmed my heart that my video helped you. Please let me know if you have a request for a certain video and I would be happy to make one just for you. :) I hope your days are getting better! btw...I just uploaded 2 videos today. :)

[@theycallmerose1]

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your videos. I'm not even close to how busy you are and truly appreciate the dedication you provide us. You have wonderful ideas. Thank you for sharing them with us all.

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you Mary! :) I'm so glad you found my videos helpful. Have a wonderful day and TFW!

[@kimberlyjefferson882]

Absolutely brilliant! Love it all. The mini-bujo, the project pages and mini calendar pages in the middle. I know I will enjoy my new malden when it comes :-) That week on one page for school on lined paper is super smart and the bullet list to-do's with indexing and color code (gel highlighter) time budgeting is pure genious! Thanks for sharing-you have a gift!!

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you so much Kimberly! Your comment just made my day. :) I just recorded a video with updates on my planner pages and updated bullet journal setup. It's going up tonight!

[@Kkmomruns]

Absolutely love your planner and the way you set it up.

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you so much! :) Have a wonderful day!

[@itsfiloally]

I am COMPLETELY obsessed with your setup. I am also a full time college student and I love how you organize for class. Awesome video! :)

[@racheldunaway3313]

lol, thanks Ally! The new week on one page layout is working well so far. If I make any changes, I will definitely make a new video. :) Good luck in school and TFW!!!

[@itsfiloally]

I look forward to more videos :)

[@soulincolor]

the lined paper insert trick is genius! You rock!

[@racheldunaway3313]

+Shinygoldteeth Thank you so much! It wasn't originally my idea, but I can't remember who started the trend. Have a wonderful day and TFW!!!

[@deewishez]

Hi Rachel! I'm relatively new to Filofax, your videos & all the fun things that go along with both! I'm a long time lover of all things stationary and I'm actually surprised I haven't discovered planner set up videos before now. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how inspiring and fun all of your videos are. In fact, it persuaded me to buy my very own personal Malden in Ochre. I just received mine today and had to review your videos again to gain some guidance. It has been extremely helpful in helping me figure out how I would like my first Filofax set up. So thank you so very much for sharing such detailed reviews! I can't wait to see more of your videos and by gosh I want to echo everyone when they say that you have the most beautiful handwriting I've ever seen! ;) Take care! Dee

[@racheldunaway3313]

Wow! Thank you for your lovely comment Dee. How are you liking you Malden?!

[@JuuC]

I'd love to see an update of your planner, you always have great new ideas!

[@1happyag]

Thanks so much for taking the time out of your school schedule to share with us! Love your set up and your attention to detail! Keep the videos coming! I'd love to see a food journal and a handwriting video :-)

[@racheldunaway3313]

Hi Heather! Thank you for your lovely comment. :) I am still trying to work out how to do the handwriting video as I record on an ipad. As soon as I do that I will record a video! lol TFW and have a fantastic day!

[@teresajohnson7727]

Girl, I learn so much from you! I love your system!

[@Scylax191286]

This is a great video! I love your setup, and you explain it so well. Thanks for sharing it all :)

[@racheldunaway3313]

TFW!!!! I realized I said "um" a lot in my first video so I was conscious of not doing it in this one. I'm still new at this so hopefully my videos will continue to improve. Have a great day! :)

[@Scylax191286]

Rachel Dunaway It's hard to believe you're new to this, you're a natural! You sound great and your explanations are incredibly lucid and easy to understand. All of your videos are a real pleasure to watch and listen to, as well as being genuinely useful :)

[@lila6773]

Rachel ! you really should do more videos about your organization! I really admire how you find creative ways to keep your life organized! Your filofax is beauuutiful! I was offered my first filofax yersteday and i plan on stealing a lot of your ideas for when i start university again in september!!

[@racheldunaway3313]

+Florence LMN You are so welcome Florence!! I'm so glad you found my videos helpful. I need to be better at posting videos.... I'll do my best to get some more out to everyone! TFW!!!

[@lovewithcoco]

I'm in high school but I'll definitely be using a bunch of your school planning ideas!! Thank you for inspiring me to be more organized!

[@racheldunaway3313]

You are so welcome! Good luck in school and TFW!!!

[@minoeschrasterhoff-vangoet3257]

Your handwriting is gorgeous! I wish I could learn how to write like that! Your setup is lovely as well!

[@racheldunaway3313]

+Minoesch van Goethe Thank you so much!

[@swri1840]

Love the idea of a permanent lined page! Thanks for sharing.

[@racheldunaway3313]

TFW!!! Have a wonderful day!

[@ChristaRenee25]

Rachel Dunaway I absolutely love your video! WOW! I can't imagine being as busy as you! LOVE your planner and set up as well! I just subscribed :) oh and I'm also a Saints fan! I'm located in central Louisiana! :)

[@racheldunaway3313]

Hi Tina! Who Dat?! I'm originally from Florida but a life-long Saints fan. Wish they were doing better this season but....still supporting them all the way! TFW and more videos to come soon! :)

[@pinksprinklefae]

Lots of great ideas here! Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you for watching Adrienne! :)

[@helencooper286]

I really wish you’d make a new update video; I come back to these so many times over the years for tips - and they’re very ‘comfortable’ videos to watch somehow.

[@ShannonSplannermom21]

Oh my goodness. I now find myself looking for videos that are similar to yours--but I have yet to find any, so I just keep re-watching yours over and over! You have great ideas, definitely worth stealing! Looking forward to more videos in the future!

[@Iriination]

Love your setup! It's such a great system for college, I'll be "stealing" a lot of your ideas to keep me organized the rest of this academic year!

[@racheldunaway3313]

Steal away! lol I'm glad you found some helpful tips/ideas. More to come!

[@lauradaniel2876]

I love your set up! It's given me some lovely ideas for my new A5 Kikki.k which is due for delivery soon!

[@racheldunaway3313]

Oh I love the kikki.k planners! I wish I had one....but I already have too many filofaxes as it is. I'm thinking I'll put a few up for sale so I don't feel so bad the next time I order a planner. lol TFW!!!!

[@janiemelgoza166]

Thank you. Rachael,love your setup.

[@racheldunaway3313]

+Janie Melgoza Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day!

[@CharismaticLife]

Absolutely love your setup!

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you! :) more videos to come....TFW!!!

[@hllamas7882]

Gosh you have so much great ideas in here!. I will be using some of them. LOVELY set up =)

[@racheldunaway3313]

I am so glad! Use away! :) That is exactly the reason I started making YT videos...to share! Have a wonderful day and TFW!!

[@brendam.7538]

Thanks for a great video. I just got my first Filofax (the Ochre Malden) on Friday and spent the weekend trying to organize it. I love the tabs you used for your classes section. My organizer will not be as hectic as yours (Whew!), but I'm definitely going to check into those tabs. Enjoy your time in school because you put in A LOT of hours at the big law firms. (I'm a legal secretary for a major NYC firm and I see how hard the associates work).

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you Brenda! My life is definitely hectic but it is enjoyable. I quit a management job to go back to school and I know that I have truly found what I want to do to fulfill my purpose in life. Working hard doesn't scare me; doing something I don't enjoy definitely does. From what I understand, the secretaries and clerks do all of the "actual" work. lol TFW!!!!

[@brendam.7538]

Rachel Dunaway We do ;-) But, for sure, it's wonderful to be able to do what you love. Makes all the difference.

[@mariakoszalin]

I really like your Filofax setup- I seems so... alive ;p

[@DamalsImZirkus]

Oh my goodness you are SO well organized! :o This is a very inspiring set up and I'll try to utilize some of your ideas for my own school, thanks a lot for this amazing video! :)

[@racheldunaway3313]

You are so welcome! I'm glad you like my videos. TFW!!!

[@thisiskristin]

Maldens are so lovely!

[@racheldunaway3313]

+PrettyPaperPassion I agree completely!

[@barbm2375]

Rachael I look forward to your videos. You inspire me to organize and neaten up the things in life that can be planned. The way you have your planner laid out, the detail that you incorporate and your beautiful penmanship are fabulous. Can I ask what white pens/pencils you use? I have Uniball Signo Broad white gel pens which don't do so well on some surfaces. Any tips? Thanks! xx

[@racheldunaway3313]

Hi Barb! Thank you so much for your lovely comments! I use the Sakura Gelly roll pens that can be purchased individually from Michael's. I have found this pen also doesn't work well on some paper (usually thicker paper). Overall, it works well and if you hold the pen vertically and write slowly, the ink tends to flow a little better. Hope that helps! TFW!!!

[@kimreason9286]

Racheal, your videos are so inspiring. Than you for making them and including great functional ideas. Can you tell me what kind of tabs you have on your class dividers? They look great. Love your videos and have been blessed by them. Thanks!

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you so much Kim! This whole experience has been such a blessing to me. I was nervous to post my first video, but the response has been so positive! There are so many wonderful people out there in YT land and I am so glad I am able to share my ideas. I use tabs from FitJapanese (similar to Daiso). They are the perfect size to use over the alpha address tabs, which is what I did for my school section. TFW!!!!

[@pinkpunkclassroom6610]

Rachel, LOVE your planner! I just got my malden today and I am having fun setting it all up. Can you tell me where you got all the kraft colored paper? I LOVE it and I would love to get my hands on some! Thanks!

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you so much! I ordered the thin kraft paper and the thicker paper from Amazon. The thin kraft paper is from a brand called Kikkerland and the thicker paper is from a company called C&L workshop. Type in "6 hole craft paper" and it should come up. TFW!!!

[@pinkpunkclassroom6610]

Rachel Dunaway Thanks so much!! I was starting to contemplate cutting up my midori kraft notebook, but this will save me time!!

[@mariasgardeli5423]

Dear Rachel...I am anxiously waiting for your next planner update video...You "promised" a new one each month! :) Let me know how is the Ochre Malden working for you so far because I am thinking of asking it for my Christmas/New Year gift!

[@racheldunaway3313]

I just recorded a video and it's going up tonight! :) TFW and I hope you get your Malden for Xmas! It's my favorite filofax so far. Holy grail Filofax actually. :)

[@melissathorne2332]

My new favorite channel!!!

[@racheldunaway3313]

Awwwww, thanks Melissa! That's so sweet. :) Have a great day and TFW!!!

[@melissathorne2332]

:)

[@monicaw857]

Love the videos, you have so many great ideas :) Where did you get the graph paper you used for the pull-out grid system?

[@amaragilbert9022]

Hi Rachel my name is Rochelle. My daughter and i absolutely love your videos. She is in love with your handwriting. I have added some of your ideas to my daily planner so thank you for sharing yours with all of us. I would like to know where you get your delicate craft paper? Keep the videos coming!!!!!

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you! I am so happy both you and your daughter enjoy my videos! :) I purchased the kraft paper from Amazon and the brand is called WritersBlok. The cover says "Kraft Notes; Bloc De Notes. 126 Ultra thin pages." Hope that helps! TFW!!!

[@JuuC]

Love your videos! They inspire me to keep organized, thank you so much Rachel for this video, it's helping me a lot! May I ask if do you have a template to do all your countdowns, moth on two pages, etc...? Because they're great and I've tried to do something similar before but I always ruin it. I look forward to your videos!

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you July! I use Moleskine grid paper from a three pack of cahiers that I purchased from Barnes and Nobles. I use pencil and a ruler to draw out my layouts. It takes some time to do initially, but one you have the general layout down, it goes faster when duplicating it. I love making my own inserts by hand. It seems to make it more personal and I appreciate using them more. TFW!!!! More videos to come!!!

[@claudiavolkman1281]

This is a great video! I came away very inspired to make my own busy endeavors work in a personal Filo! I'm interested in how you archive your pages -- do you have a system for that? Thanks so much for this video -- please keep making more :)

[@racheldunaway3313]

Hi Claudia! Right now I'm keeping my old pages in a Barnes and Nobles Punctuate planner. I've been thinking about how I will archive them after this is full. I will probably just bind them together with some baker's twine....b/c its fun and I have some that I have not used yet. lol I will do a video for you when I figure that out! TFW!!!!

[@racheldunaway3313]

+Monica Webb I use paper from an extra large Moleskine cahier. TFW!!! (wasn't able to reply directly to your comment for some reason)

[@shiyunwong1487]

Gosh I need to be able to put all the thoughts in my head and write them out like you do but I haven't figured out how..I wanna do something for 2015 but as of right now either I don't know where to write them or they are all over the place...thanks for sharing :D

[@racheldunaway3313]

I have had this same issue in the past. I simply find a piece of paper or journal and do a "brain dump" and write everything that I am thinking of down. Then I prioritize those items and then schedule them. When I have a big project, I break that down into smaller parts so it's more manageable. I hope that is helpful in some way. TFW and have a great day!

[@lbarge69]

Great video.

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you so much! :)

[@pinkprincesstara84]

When do you graduate? Law school is pretty intense- yay for being organized!

[@racheldunaway3313]

I graduate May 2016. I just started my second year and I am so excited! Time flies by when you're super busy! :) TFW!!!

[@AsiaCruise]

I love your setup! Definitely a new subscriber! Such great ideas! Oh, and how did you make your tab dividers?

[@racheldunaway3313]

+Asia Cruise I just use the ones that came with the filofax and put labels over the tabs. TFW!!!

[@monicae69]

Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing. Which pen do you use to write with white ink?

[@racheldunaway3313]

It is the Sakura Gelly roll pen that are available individually from Michael's. TFW Monica!!!

[@melissaborsato9490]

I love your planner & your beautiful writing!!! Where do you get your washi tape? Specifically the tape you used on your project planner from your moleskine (oct - dec), I'm gonna use your cute decor idea :) Also what pens do you use for washi? xo

[@racheldunaway3313]

I get most of my washi tape from Michael's and Target. I use a fine point sharpie and a white gel pen on my washi. :) TFW!

[@RawWrtochi19]

i just love you, i hope we´re close to see a new video from you

[@racheldunaway3313]

jocelyn palomo Just posted 2 new videos today! I hope you enjoy! TFW!!!

[@rhiannexxo]

Hello! I absolutely love this set up! It's so perfect! I just wanna know how did you make the school tabs and where did you get the tabs from? I really want to use the same layout in my filofax for my school planning. Thanks! Rhianne xx

[@racheldunaway3313]

FitJapanese in Houston, TX is where I purchased the colored tabs I adhered to the filofax address tabs. I believe you can get the same tabs at Daiso. I do not have a Daiso in my area, which is probably a good thing. :) Good luck in school! TFW!!!

[@DAISEYLEETHE1ANDONLY]

Love the white writing. Which pen do you use for that?

[@racheldunaway3313]

It is a Sakura Gelly Roll pen from Michael's. :)

[@ileanaperez5637]

cant stop watching this video! please make a video about your handwritten!!

[@racheldunaway3313]

Ileana Perez Hello there! I Hope to making this video in the next few weeks. I need to figure out my camera angle first. lol Still a newbie at the whole recording thing. TFW!!!

[@PerfectlyFlawedVee]

Hi!!! Does that white gel pen stay on the washi tape?? Where do you get it??? Thankss

[@racheldunaway3313]

It does! It is a Sakura Gelly Roll pen and I purchased mine from Michael's. It goes on a little wet, so it needs time to dry, but it definitely stays on! TFW!!!

[@ljolivet1777]

Hello again, where did you get the brown paper from that you note the Saints schedule on?

[@racheldunaway3313]

+l jolivet I purchased this off Amazon. I typed in "kraft paper inserts" and it popped up. I was just informed by someone else that they do not carry this anymore. :( Maybe try etsy though! TFW!!!

[@claraalmeida1187]

hello o love your vídeos! can you more 😄

[@michellewilliamson5238]

Wowwwwww

[@racheldunaway3313]

Michelle Williamson lol thanks Michelle. Have a great day!

[@medicalyuki]

very nice video and planner system! Good luck with your law school study and law review =) law school is so much more fun than working in law firm >.

[@racheldunaway3313]

Thank you so much! I'll be working in a law firm one day! lol I hope it's fun in the sense that I have more free time. :)

[@shoppingfiesta]

Who disliked this? Someone who likes disorganized planners with ugly handwriting?

[@racheldunaway3313]

shoppingfiesta lol, it's okay. My videos aren't for everyone I guess. Thanks for having my back though! :)
