Free Midori TN calendar (diary) inserts for 2025: Part 6 - Field Notes size layouts

We're there, finally, at the last of the 2025 diary sets posts. This time it is my Field Notes sized inserts. As usual, all are available for download as A4 and Letter paper PDFs and are all free for personal use. 

For the last time this year, then, here we go.

Note that I've lazily reused some of the 2024 and older pictures from last year, but I promise that what you download from the links will be the actual 2025 versions.

1. Week on two pages

The week on two pages layout gives you a straightforward planning view, a week at a time.

 You'll need two booklets for a full year.

  2025 A4 version: H1  H2

  2025 Letter version: H1  H2

2. Daily log book

The daily log book is ideal for tracking daily activities - exercise, say, or diet - even Pokemon Roblox whatever the kids are doing this year.

  2025 A4 version

  2025 Letter version

Special offer

Maybe you prefer not to print your own. I will print and bind a 2025 daily log book for you at a cost of £6.50, including regular postage to anywhere in the world. It will have a printed card cover that looks like this:

If you want to take advantage of this offer, email me

(ray.blake@gmail.com) and we can make arrangements.

Printing instructions 

You can print on to plain A4 paper in most of the world, or, if you’re in a country saddled with Letter paper, you can download a special version of your own. Either way, print at 100% – no scaling – duplexing by flipping the paper on the short edge. Then follow the instructions in the video below to bind your pages into a booklet. Remember that for this format you need to cut at a width of 90mm rather than 110mm and you'll have to trim 35 mm from the top and from the bottom as well, leaving you a booklet 140 mm tall. If you’re using Letter paper you’ll have to trim a bit more at the top and bottom to end up with a booklet that’s 140mm tall (Google will tell you whatever that is in inches, I’m sure.)

Print your own index tabs for your notebook

Filofax users have always been able to organise their content into sections using index dividers. How would you like to be able to divide up and organise a bound notebook in a similar way?

Today's free download is a Word file that allows you to make and print your own index tabs.

Choose your own colours, sizes and section names. Print, cut out, fold each tab over and glue to a page on both sides.

Download the file here. There are sets of tabs in two different sizes. You can change the text as well as colours of both the text and the tabs.

The Filofax-themed Filofax divider set to download and print - A5 and Personal

When I made available some photographic divider sets recently, it was suggested that a set featuring Filofax pictures might be well-received.

I have always admired the Filofax pictures Deborah (DEM) posts on her blog, Thoughts & Exploration, and asked her if she wanted to collaborate on making a set together. She had the hard job of taking the photos (creative photos that are clear, well lit and composed like hers don’t just take themselves), while I had the much easier job of sizing them on the divider templates.

If you want to see all six dividers, you'll have to download a set, but here's a sneak peek of one of them in both sizes.

If you want to celebrate your Filofax love, you can download and make your own set.

You have the choice between A5 dividers and Personal dividers, and there are different versions for those of you printing on A4 and those using Letter paper. Download the file of your choice, print onto card or photo paper, then cut out and punch the dividers.

Topic divider set for your Filofax to print at home

Following the popularity of my monthly dividers, I have produced a set of topic dividers based on the theme of 'Antique and Antiquity'. Here's what hey look like:

Since making this picture, incidentally, I've had some help with my translations.

The templates are set up with pictures I've found through Google Images and just cropped down to fit the format. The intention is that you can replace these with your own pictures.

When you add pictures, you'll need to position, size and crop them. This will be hard if you don't know how to make pictures 'float' in a Word document. To do this, once your picture is in the document, right-click on the picture and from the pop-up menu, select 'text wrapping', then 'behind text'. You can then drag the picture around at will. Finally, select your picture, right-click and choose 'send to back' to put the picture 'behind' the calendar and the tab.

You can download the templates below as Word documents. Each page will print on A4 card and contain two different Personal-size dividers, with crop marks to make cutting them out easy.

Jan-Dec photographic dividers for your A5 Filofax

Following my post of these in Personal size, I received a request for A5 versions. The wider page allowed my to show more of the original pictures, and I'm quite pleased with the results. If you want to see them all, you'll have to download them, but to whet your appetite, here is one example compared with the smaller version:

Jan-Dec photographic dividers for your Filofax to download and make

About a year ago, I posted a template you could use to make your own photographic dividers. This year, I've put the template to a different use. I've added calendars to make a set of monthly dividers, which make it easier for you to navigate though your diary pages. Here's how they look. You can click on any of them to get a closer look.

Decorating your Midori insert, Filofax divider or notebook

As a design motif I really like travel-themed rubber stamps, although I don't actually own any.

When I looked at the plain, buff-coloured Midori Traveler's Notebook insert, I felt it was crying out for a little decoration. Only a little, though; I find a little tends to go a long way. Here is what I came up with:

Those aren't real rubber stamp prints, of course. They are images found for me by Google and assembled in a Microsoft Publisher template you can download if you like.

Once printed and cut out, they are attached in the old-fashioned way with glue.

Although I designed this for the Midori Traveler's Notebook, I realised there were other applications, too. For instance, it could be a quick way to decorate the generic Filofax dividers:

Or how about a casebound notebook?

I think I'll be making these for all my Midori inserts.

Photographic Filofax dividers template for Pocket size

I recently created a template people could use to make their own dividers for the Personal Filofax.

I have now developed a companion template for those wanting to make Pocket size dividers. The template is built in Word:

Click to enlarge

Each page will end up being printed on A4 card and contain two different Pocket-size dividers, with crop marks to make cutting them out easy. All you need to do is add your pictures, and delete the tabs you don't need. Each template has six, evenly-spaced tabs but you could easily alter the template to cater for - say - ten tabs if that better meets your needs.

When you add pictures, you'll need to position, size and crop them. This will be hard if you don't know how to make pictures 'float' in a Word document. To do this, once your picture is in the document, right-click on the picture and from the pop-up menu, select 'text wrapping', then 'behind text'. You can then drag the picture around at will.

Study the illustration below to see what all the marks and shapes in the template are for:

If you've done everything right, you'll end up with a document that looks like this:

Click to enlarge

Print this on card, crop using the marks, taking care around the tabs, then punch as usual. You can wrap some clear plastic film around the tabs and cut off the excess if you want the dividers to last longer. If you look at the dividers that came with your Filofax, you'll notice this is what they do with the standard dividers.

Anyway, if you have that creative feeling you can download the Word file and get started.

Making photographic dividers at home for your Filofax

When I posted recently about my new dividers, I received a lot of positive feedback through comments and via Twitter. I was also asked for a tutorial. I made mine using the methods I outlined in my post on quick and easy Filofax dividers, but I thought it might be useful to provide a bit more help in the way of a template people can download and use to make the whole process easier.

So, here it is, my new divider template which is built in Word:

My new set of Filofax dividers

For a while I have wanted to make dividers from some nice photographs, so I sat down with Google images to find some nice architecturally-themed ones. I wanted some dividers that were a little more masculine than the home-made ones you often see, but you could use any pictures at all.

I printed them on card and cut them to size with tabs, using the method I recently shared here. I added a little longevity to the tabs by wrapping them in clear adhesive film and removing the excess with a knife. If you look at the standard Filofax dividers you'll notice they do exactly the same thing.

Then it was simply a matter of getting the label machine out. I use the 'box' setting on my labels, which makes them easy to then cut down to size, as explained in this post.

And here is the finished set:

Quick and easy Filofax dividers

Making your own dividers doesn't have to take all day (although sometimes that can be a fun way of spending a day.) Today I'm going to show you how to create basic dividers in no time.

You'll need to start with a set of cardboard or plastic file dividers. I used these ones from Tesco because I liked the colours and they were very cheap.

Each of the dividers in the pack will yield three Personal-size dividers. The first job is to cut the big dividers down into sizes which are slightly taller or wider than a regular Filofax page. You want your dividers taller than a regular page if you're making top tabs or wider if you're making side tabs. The pictures below illustrate the concept.

Already, we're nearly there. Once you've cut a set of these templates, you can work out the tab positions for each. The easy way to do this is using an adhesive index tab (as pictured below), but you could measure and mark if you prefer. 

Top tab cutting guide

Side tab cutting guide

Once you know where each tab needs to be, you simply cut away the rest of the extra strip, leaving the tab standing proud. You can now punch holes in the divider. Do that a few times and you'll have a quick and easy set of dividers.

Making transparent dividers with floating tabs

I often produce bound reports for clients, so I have a variety of report binding machines. I also have a stock of clear plastic covers, like these:

There are fifty in a pack. Each one will yield three Personal size flyleaves, or two A5 ones, provided you have a ruler, a craft knife and a hole punch. So far, so good.

However, another use for them is to cut them out with tabs at the top or side to make transparent dividers. On the face of it, this is a silly idea, because the one thing you want your tabs to be is visible, but bear with me.

You can either cut from measurements or you can draw around a template using a CD pen. An exisiting flyleaf with a Post-It index tab on it makes a good template to draw around. If you place the straight edges at the corner of the sheet, you need only draw around and cut two edges rather than four.

Use a label maker next to make your tab titles. Use a small setting for the text. I always have to trim the labels my maker produces to use them on tabs. I find that if I use the 'box' setting, the label maker will make some nice cutting lines for me:

Cut down the labels and add to the tabs - front and back - and add to your binder. You'll find the labels seem to float in the air:

It's a nice look. My thanks to Vanjilla, who suggested I write this idea up after I mentioned it on her blog.

My new home-made dividers

Don't you hate those plain, buff dividers that come with your Filofax? I do. And I prefer to give the sections my own names, too. So, equipped with a laminator, a hole punch, a craft knife, a label maker and some decorative paper, I often make a set of my own, like the ones I am currently using:

These ones use pages from an old road atlas. I was going to use my old London A to Z book, but couldn't find it, so I used an old US atlas from a trip I took years ago. Atlases like this are great, because the paper is thin enough to laminate well and is double-sided too.
