After looking at the Dodo pad online for quite some time i got an A5 Filofax compatible (from the lovely LJ over at LJ's Blog of Stuff).
{Love a handwritten note}
{The Acad Pad}
{Sample page}
This is the specimen page which shows you how to use the diary section etc
{Stickers}
You can purchase a sheet of sheet of appointment stickers separately which are really colourful and fun!
{Already punched}
It is already punched to slot into an A5 filofax
{One of the designs}
This is one of my favourite spreads!
Another philofaxer also sent me a personal page to try out for size, but i found it way too small just by looking at it!
{Personal and A5}
{Comparison}
After several weeks of using the Dodo pad i realised it isn't for me.
I don't get on with the grid layout and would much prefer 7 simple boxes for the weekdays along wih the notes page.
I do however love the graphics, images and colour etc
My scruffy writing on a piece of paper from work - oh, the shame, lol!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have lovely handwriting!!
DeleteYou could always just write over the boxes - ignoring them - I do :) Glad you like the graphics though..
ReplyDeleteI love everything else apart from the fact you simply can't do it in pocket :( Such a shame!
DeleteYou should do something similar in pocket - perhaps not the grid but the days down one side and a blank page with the same sort of thing but obviously just a little something as the pages are so small?
I ignore the boxes and just write over them too.
ReplyDeleteI love mine.

I find ignoring the boxes really difficult - it also confuses me when i look at it - so that tactic is sadly not for me!
DeleteI use the Dodo as a wall calendar for the family, one column for each person. I can't imagine using it as a personal diary but I couldn't live without it on the wall!
ReplyDeleteI had something similar on a wall calender - with the grid layout and i loved it too!
DeleteI have the personal size and it works wonderfully now that I've got an 0.05 pen to write with. Though, I think mainly it is because I use it only to mark down appointments, which I don't have that many off. For scheduling and planning my day there just isn't enough room. But then, that's true of all calendars save the day on a page ones. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the WO2P format the most. The dodo pad would have to be adapted for me to use it, but i do love it!
