What I need in a planner.

I spend a lot of time thinking about the set up of my planner.  Over the years I've used primarily a personal size, an A5 size or an A6 size.  Most recently, I have been using a really wonderful agenda from L'Agenda Moderne, a French planner company.  The top photo shows this brand. I visited Bon Marche in Paris last month and took this photo in the store.  I ended up buying the orange planner in the bottom left corner.  The size is not quite an A5. It's a bit shorter, but the same width as an A5.  And I am loving it.  It fits very nicely in my handbag, and the inserts are beautifully designed.  I love having the extra space to write and take notes.  The size accommodates the phase of life I'm in right now.  I have a lot going on -- I'm managing an existing business, launching a new business, getting ready for my daughter's senior year in high school and eventual departure for college, spending time growing my Paper, Pens & Planners passion and exploring the next phase of life with my husband. I was using an A6 planner, but found that it didn't provide enough space for my notes, appointments (not just for me, but for my kids too) and the assortment of odds and ends I need to carry with me each day.  The only downside is that the company doesn't market to the US.  And getting inserts to fit this particular size of planner is very difficult.  While I would welcome the chance to order additional planners and inserts for this brand of agenda, it is not at all convenient and is proving to be more difficult than I realized it would be.
So, on Friday I ordered a preowned Louis Vuitton large agenda from Fashionphile.  It was $200 off the retail price and is in very good condition. It is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I decided to go with this model for a variety of reasons: 1-a number of IG planners carry this model and give rave reviews; 2-the LV large agenda keeps its value quite well; 3-the LV canvas and monogram are beautiful; 4-the agenda accommodates Cloth & Paper inserts which I am really into right now. The biggest downsides I anticipate are: 1-the size (I hear it is a very large agenda); 2- based on photos I've seen, some of the LV agendas don't lay flat (I'm hopeful the large one does); 3- it doesn't have business card slots, but I've ordered business card sleeves, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Over the next week or so, I will set up the new LV planner and do a blog post showing my set up.  I have ordered a bunch of materials from Cloth and Paper for this agenda: a week on two pages vertical layout inserts (this is my day to day planning tool for appointments); frosted plastic dividers for the 5-6 sections I use in a planner -- Cleaning, Letters to Write, Passwords, Blog Planning, Todo Templates; a few business card sleeves since the agenda doesn't have a place for business cards; a chic black folder to put at the front of the agenda for receipts and other pieces of random paper that need to be kept; a plastic sleeve for my various stickers, stamps and other planning tools; and two writing journals (one for business notes and the other for personal items). 
​Stay tuned to hear how it all comes together.
