If you are aware of #Filofax #PersonalOrganizer history, then you will know that the format was original 3.75" x 6.75", as invented by the Lefax company in the early 1900s, and later Filofax standardized on 95 mm x 171 mm, which is within 1 mm difference.

If you are measuring in picas and points (1 pt = 1/72"), 3.75" x 6.75" is exactly 270 pt x 486 pt.

That gives me enough room for 3 lines for weekdays and 4 lines for weekends at 7 mm, or 5 and 6 lines at 12 pt, with minimum 12 pt margins.

Oops. #RabbitHole. #兎の穴

In 2018, I decided to #design a new #PersonalOrganizer format, in the hopes of slightly reducing the size from a typical Personal (95 mm x 171 mm). I have long used a 5 mm ruling standard for my #Filofax, so for the new format, I used a 12 pt ruling (~4.233 mm), the smallest I think is practical for Latin scripts.

Taking into account the size of US currency and checks, I settled on a page size of 237 pt x 438 pt, or about 83.6 mm x 154.5 mm.
