For the person who......wants small and classicIf your organizational issues are uncomplicated and portability
is a factor, the leather Filofax Pocket Bridle ($110,
www.filofaxusa.com), measuring 5 5/8 by 4 1/2 inches, is a stylish
solution. The price includes one year of calendar inserts, pages
for an address book, and a starter pack of index pages, note
paper, and to-do paper.
...wants midsize luxuryIf you need more space to keep track of appointments or for
writing, the luxurious Coach Leather Planner ($138,
www.coach.com) measures a roomy four by seven inches. Rather than
the standard notebook-ring construction, it comes with a spiral
address book on the left and a calendar and note pages on the
right. The downside: no inner pockets to stash cards or receipts.
...wants full-size and fancy The Filofax Personal Size Dorset planner ($100,
www.filofaxusa.com) is best for those who have multiple
appointments each day and need to stash cards, receipts, and
clippings (handy inner pockets make this quick). The larger size
(7 1/4 by 5 1/4 inches) has another advantage: available
inserts, such as maps for major U.S. cities ($7), a menstrual
calendar ($4), and a birthday tracker ($4).
...wants full-size (and a zipper) for lessThe DaySaver Vinyl 6-Ring Organizer is a budget-friendly option.
At $35, this organizer (7 3/4 by 5 1/4 inches;
www.plannerstore.com) keeps you on schedule for just pennies a day. It comes
with weekly and monthly calendars, an address book, and interior
pockets that hold up to six credit cards. The zipper closure
