Tabbed week on two pages for pocket.

Right. So I came up with this genius idea that I was going to make my own tabbed week on two pages diary for my pocket Malden. Easy, I thought. My inspiration came from Dayrunner i love their week to view with tabs, but alas it was for personal.

My first way was to cut up some avery tags to 1cm wide to stick on the diary on the page for the beginning of the month at appropriate intervals down the page (as the pocket page is conveniently 12cm long). Then I thought the tab sticker would protrude too far onto the page where you write.
Idea scrapped.
Then, while on the bus today, I thought that I could cut sections out of the side of the page at 1cm intervals to form grooves for each month.




I tried roughly with a holepunch, but that wasn't happening. Then tried cutting with scissors. This was do-able.





Then I came across another dilemma. You are ok at the beginning of the month with single figures.




But the space becomes narrower with double figures.




And so, my experiment has come to an end unsuccessfully. So if anyone knows of anywhere that sells tabbed week to view diaries for pocket give me a shout. Or if anyone has any ideas on how to do it differently post a comment.
Thank you very muchly.

The set up of my pocket Malden

Hello. As promised here is the set up of my pocket Malden aka my life.






The pocket Malden is a fantastic size for day to running of life. A lot easier than the personal. I have decided to name this Malden Scarlet. I think the name suits her.

So we start with the front cover.






As I am using this Filofax as a purse/wallet I have my loose change in the zip compartment. I also have a couple of cards and my train ticket in the other pockets.
The first thing you see when you open Scarlet is the Filofax post-it notes.





I am also still using the bic four colour pen with it, so due to size doesn't fit into the pen loop.





So with this being a pocket Filofax I decided to make my own top tab dividers to give more room for the pen. I am finding that this works well.






We then come to the standard week on two pages diary. There seems to be a lot of ringspace so have got 11 months inside.






Next we come to the purple divider. Behind this we have notes and info.





The orange post-it tab is my Christmas gift list. This tells me what I have bought and for who. The blue post-it tab is inportant information that I might need.





Then we have the second divider.





Behind this we have my little Filofax stickers for events and appointments.





Behind the blue divider we have my to do list.











We then come to silver, the final divider.





This keeps my cards that get used now and again and my shopping vouchers.





I may put another envelope in yet. I'm undecided at the moment.





In the back cover we have my notepad and two cards in the vertical pocket.

I am loving how this Filofax is working.

















I am especially liking how the top tab dividers work within it, giving me more room for pens.






So there we go. My blogpost on how I set my Pocket Malden Scarlet up.
Hope you enjoyed it.
