Colorful dividers for my filofax

I have finally gotten around to creating my own dividers using colorful scrapbook paper I found at Michael's. I am still playing around with the color of the tabs I want to use so I have just used temporary tabs for now. I am very happy with how wells these turned out.

Malden A5 Filofax Setup -March 2014

Inside my Malden filofax, I keep post-it flags and a small variety of stickers in the zipper pouch
Next I have the fly leaf with a project life card, task sticky notes

 Next I have a top loading page protector that i have put a few of my favorite sticky notes on a piece of paper on the front and back to keep a small variety with me at all times.

 For my monthly calendar tabs, I use some tabs I purchased at the Container Store, which sticks on very well.  The tabs I used a rainbow of colors of washi tape to cover the tab part and used my label maker to label each section.
 I use this planner for work only and keep my personal plans in my Erin Condren Life Planner.  At my current job, there is a lot of things I have to keep track of and my filofax has become the best organizational tool I have used yet to keep me on task at all times.

I have two monthly calendar sections.  The first one I use to keep track of my employees attendance and scheduled meetings.
 The next monthly calendar I use to keep track of certain information for my job which I create reports from on a weekly basis.
 In the weekly calendar section, I keep notes, meeting times,  and tasks that need to be completed that week.
 In the daily section, I detail the tasks that need to be completed and use this section for everything.  I like the day on a page the most.  I have this section open every day at my desk and since I have started to use the filofax for work purposes, I have felt much more organized and spent less time looking around for random pieces of paper I would use to write important notes on.
The A-Z section I have just started using as a note holder.  I don't keep contacts in my planner much since all of that information I store in my phone.  I had never thought to use the a-z tabs for this purpose until about a week ago when I found a you tube video where someone (sorry forgot who's video I was watching) had showed their filofax that was set up this way.  Since I have started filing my notes in this section, I know exactly where things are now.  Before it was in a notes section that was not organized in any way.
