Dates for your diary - Saturday 12 & Sunday 13 April 2025

We are going to run some more 'Virtual Meet Ups'.

When? - Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 April 2025 at the following time:
  • Los Angeles 8:00 am, 
  • Denver 9:00 am
  • Dallas 10:00 am, 
  • New York 11:00am, 
  • London 4:00 pm 
  • Paris 5:00 pm etc.  
Join in on both days if you wish. 

Do not worry if you aren't available at the start of the session each one lasts 1-2 hours, so pop up when you are available and say hello.

Where? - an on-line chat using Signal. with voice and video (if you wish). If you aren't already in our participants list you need to contact Philofaxy before you come on line on the day of the chat. You can do this at any time. Please try to ensure that your Signal user name is the same as your actual name this will greatly assist in us being able to add you to the group. The link to the Signal chat was posted in the Skype group last month. 
 
Because of unwanted people we are no longer able to give out a join here link. 

Steve will monitor the old Skype group this last time incase anyone has problems joining via Signal. 

What do I need? - just a micro-phone and some head phones(in ear phones work fine) and a free Signal account. Using headphones or earphone reduces 'echo' on the call. Video is optional, but a most of us will be on video as well.

Who - Serious organiser users only.  We are no longer able to allow just anyone to join these chats due to the disruption caused by fake profiles on previous chats. You also need to be known to us in some way or other before we will permit you to join the chat. 

If you need any assistance setting up Signal, please pop a comment in this post and I will try and help you get one line. Signal is free for computer to computer calls....

Hope to be chatting with you on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 February 2025.

Free For All Friday - No. 856 by Anita

My husband and I are currently rewatching an American sitcom that I love called My Name is Earl. It doesn't feature a Filofax, but the main character does have a list - 'So, I made a list of everything bad I've ever done, and one by one I'm gonna make up for all my mistakes. I'm just trying to be a better person. My name is Earl'. Thankfully I don't have a need to make a similar list, but it has made me think about lists and if there's anything else that I'd like to add to my Kensington. 

My sleep hasn't been that good recently, so I've decided to try out something different as a bit of an experiment. As I want to get to bed earlier, I'll instead set an alarm to remind me to start getting ready for bed, and then I will be letting myself wake up naturally in the morning. I work from home and am on a completely flexible contract, plus I do start to wake earlier anyway as it's getting lighter in the mornings. I'm going to keep a list of when I get to bed and wake up, and then do a review each month to see how it's working and if I want to adjust anything.  

Have you added any new lists or new things that you're tracking to your organiser recently? 

And as always on Fridays, please feel free to discuss anything organiser related. I hope that you have a great weekend.
