Today I continue the series of posts to launch Filofax templates for 2023. This post covers weekly inserts for A4 and A5 organisers; A4/A5 monthlies and yearlies are still to come, as are Personal size and Pocket size posts.
These inserts arise from a collaboration between me and Steve Morton of Philofaxy and you can find the files there also. We've been making these together for nearly ten years and plan to keep going for ten more at least. I've made the decision to consolidate the range a little, and cut down on the number of very similar inserts and those that attract very few dowloads. BUT the source files are still here (see below) and if you are happy to roll your sleeves up you can go and recreate any of the old sets yourself.
But you don't need to have a Filofax or any other organiser to make use of these. A4 and A5 binders are widely available and there's no reason why you can't combine one of those with these pages and have a complete DIY solution.
Although you'll still find the source files on this site and on Philofaxy to produce your own diary sets for any year (or any shorter period) people seem to like the convenience of downloading full year sets. Here are A4 or A5 sets for 2023.
3. Two days per page sets
NB: Pictures throughout are of previous sets, but the downloads are for 2023.
This layout gives you a full week across two spreads. Your choice is lined or unlined pages.
Each version is set up as an A4 document. To use them as A5 inserts, print the document in booklet mode on A4 paper, then use a guillotine to divide each sheet into two and punch the required holes, which the templates are set up with mirrored gutters to accommodate. Or, if you have A5 paper, then either the printer or the PC will scale it to size for you.
It'll be 2023 soon and it's time to start posting Filofax templates for the new year. This post covers daily inserts for A4 and A5 organisers; A4/A5 weeklies, monthlies and yearlies will follow soon, as will Personal size and Pocket size posts.

1. Day per page sets
NB: Pictures throughout are of previous sets, but the downloads are for 2023.
You have a choice of three different layouts here.

To use them as A5 inserts, print the document in booklet mode on A4 paper, then use a guillotine to divide each sheet into two and punch the required holes, which the templates are set up with mirrored gutters to accommodate.

We're there, finally, at the last of the 2023 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.
1. Week on two pages
The week on two pages layout gives you a straightforward planning view, a week at a time.
Maybe you prefer not to print your own. I will print and bind a 2023 daily log book for you at a cost of £6.00, including postage to anywhere in the world. It will have a printed card cover that looks like this:

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.)
We're getting through these. Today's post contains 2023 versions of my layouts for the Moleskine Large Cahier format. As usual, all are available for download as A4 and Letter paper PDFs and are all free for personal use.
Here we go.
1. Daily dashboard
The Daily Dashboard gives you a booklet per month and contains a monthly overview followed by a double page spread for each day, letting you organise tasks, appointments and anything else you can imagine.
You need a booklet for each month, so twelve cover the full year. I've packaged up 12-month sets for the different printer paper sizes. Here are the files:

The roll-out of 2023 insert booklets continues. Today I'm updating the week on two pages layout I produced for the Personal size. It's free for personal use like all the others.
You have the choice of downloading this in A4 or Letter format. Either way, you will need both the Half 1 and Half 2 files to make both booklets covering a full year between them.

2. Yearly calendar
The yearly calendar will print equally well on A4 or Letter paper. Each version includes two years. Cut each one out and fix to the cover of a booklet for a quick overview of the whole year. There is a choice of colour themes.
This year, by popular request, I am also providing PDF versions of these.
