I am considering purchasing an agenda. I am wondering if those who have an agenda still find it useful in this high tech age? What size do you have and how do you use it? Thanks
Is the Agenda still relevant?

I actually just purchased a large agenda last month. Imo its still very relevant. Tech is wonderful, but is missing so many elements, plus we are losing a lot of skills to it too. The agenda can perform many uses. There are a lot of really fun inserts you can purchase, plus stickers, shaped post its, colored pens etc. its a nice creative outlet, while being practical too. I plan to keep to keep track of appointments, daily activities, create to do lists, short and long term goals, etc. i am excited to put it to use! If you like to write, vs only use ipads/computers etc, then definitely get one. But if you prefer using tech, it might sit unused.
I own a Chanel agenda. Sadly I don't use it.
But I do use a desk agenda and get all kinds of crazy with it. But I never carry this around, it literally sits on my desk all year, but I can find everything (I mean literally everything) on my desk agenda. So I do see the use.

Desk agendas are wonderful too! Your Chanel agenda sounds beautiful
I love my agenda. Personally, I much prefer writing stuff down and the pen-to-paper method is strategic in jogging memory, too. We're forever typing and so on a psychological level, the simple act of writing is an experience I don't want to lose. I also want to see what's to come by flicking through the pages quickly and not scrolling. Also quite satisfying to physically "file away" the past year every January. I don't think there's any harm in doubling up or sharing actions with tech, too. All of this depends on whether you're a tactile and traditionalist person I would say.
I have an agenda in the pm size. It was one of the first items my DH purchased for me nearly 20 years ago, along with a beautiful LV gold pen(I wish LV still made pens!). I also used to buy the yearly LV agenda refills (when they were around $30 lol). Although I don't use it often much anymore, I do still carry it with me when I travel. I ordered inserts from Etsy for $15.I still send out Christmas cards, so I do like having pen and paper with me.
I love my desk agenda! The large GM doesn’t work for me because the front flap doesn’t sit flat. The desk agenda does! I use it daily for work and my personal journal!

I still love my agendas as I don’t enjoy digital planning.
I've used my Agenda MM for years. Bought it close to 15 years ago, and still use it. I still buy the inserts every year (from LV) and carry it with me everyday. I work at different offices, so I use it to track which offices I'm going to. Easier than putting on my phone. Otherwise, I basically use my phone for appointments so I can set a reminder.
I’m planning to buy a desk agenda for my hobonichi as soon as I can find one. But I use a small agenda in DE as a wallet/notepad and I adore it. I have to write everything down or I’ll never remember it so the Small agenda is a good capture system for me on the go. And I use both Notion and my hobonichi for planning. I find that taking the 20-30 minutes to get my day set in a paper planner saves me time from scrolling IG when I pick up my phone to check a list or something.
I have the GM agenda and have been using it consistently for 5 years now. I call it my "Life Book" I am not a fan of the premade or already laid out agendas, I like the ring agendas so I can customize it to my needs. I have my schedule, to dos for home, to dos for work, budget and lists I need for whatever. I love using it!
I bought one back in May I haven’t used it at all honestly.
Perhaps you will eventually. I had a round coin purse and ZCP in my closet for 3 years, and finally used both
. I think the agenda is a nice thing to have in your collection.
I use the coin purse for my wired headphones and cables I need. I just got a mini agenda for fun and am figuring out how I want to use it. I constantly make random notes and ideas which are a pain to type in a phone so this is better for that sort of use. Same for the odd sketch or list.
