I think it would be essential for it to look businesslike, I'm just not sure I'd be motivated to use it...<br /><br />TracyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11780696436600821062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782680101722146118.post-32436439622600250122012-06-30T14:47:55.819+01:002012-06-30T14:47:55.819+01:00Hi Ray!

Anyway, love the "business" filofax post.

The other two are the Observation Aid and the Inspection Aid. Collectively they are a mechanism for gaining assurance on the technical competence of an employee you supervise. To gain such assurance, you can either watch the employee perform his/her job, inspect his/her job outputs or ask him/her about aspects of the work. Each of the aids supports one of those three interventions. The shaded half gets completed before the discussion and you note down those technical aspects of the work you propose to ask about. Alongside, in the white areas, you can note down what you find and reflect on whether this meets the competence requirements of the role.Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926473417659563584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782680101722146118.post-8826015061336538552012-06-30T05:11:52.943+01:002012-06-30T05:11:52.943+01:00I like the 'professional' feel of this, bu...I like the 'professional' feel of this, but I'm curious as to what the 'discussion template' looks like up close?

And all the possible combination with the own System.<br /><br />So thank you for Sharing. Like LJ, i have one Main Filofax for personal and business relating content. My filofax doesn´t get in touch with many other People, exept me. But because there are a few areas, my collegues might see (English-lesson-notes at work, or my WpP Business Overview) I will work on a new professional look for them. <br /><br />Lesson learned.

I suppose the main difference between my personal and work binders is the read:write ratio. In my personal Filofax, I write a lot. There's little reference information in there; mostly it is calendar entries, temporary notes and tasks. The business binder, though, is mostly about reference information. I'll make notes, and use it to schedule my time, but that's a small part of its function. Mostly it's there to support a particular project with a particular client at any one time.Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926473417659563584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782680101722146118.post-30774137601629261492012-06-24T19:28:36.936+01:002012-06-24T19:28:36.936+01:00Hi Ray,

Has really inspired me to try and be more professional.<br /><br />Do you have any generic tips in creating a good work Filofax. Maybe you can talk more on how you settled on this system.<br /><br />Thanks.Kejihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11295273306877111315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782680101722146118.post-45165760647716262922012-06-24T10:59:40.365+01:002012-06-24T10:59:40.365+01:00Very nice layout, and love your templates.

The only reason I can get away with all the childish stuff in my set up is because I don't have to deal with clients, all my dealings are with internal people and my filo usually stays on my desk all day :o) However, as my filo usage has been so successful in eliminating most of the need for me to work excessive hours or take work home, I am considering moving back to a work v home filo as opposed to having just the one, and may keep all my 'special' paper for my home one...LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778171833372717942noreply@blogger.com
