Here is an idea of how compact my pocket Belmont planner is. It fits perfectly in my small Coach Swagger bag. I cannot carry much in this bag but my back thanks me and I don’t need anything else over weekends and evenings.
Belmont pocket Filofax and Coach Swagger bag
After I read about your experiment, I decided to try my own. I am going to use 2 planners with my work life in an A5 and my personal life in a personal size. I was finally able to find some vertical week on 2 pages inserts. They are strangely hard to find in the U.S. My complete schedule is in both. Before, I had everything in my A5 and it was too big and too heavy.
Good luck! It is so much easier to function with a lighter planner when you go out. I used to find myself leaving mine at home because it was too bulky, and then I didn’t have it when I needed it!
Your bag looks really pretty! I love it! and the planner looks great too. May I also say that your hair looks absolutely gorgeous!…
Thank you on all counts. I never thought I could use a bag this small but my back thanks me every day!
IT’s quite a challenge to fit everything in, but when it does, it’s wonderful!
