I love this planner revolution! I've tried out a few over the last few years, including the Recollections from Michaels. I've used Day Timers in the past. All great systems. But I've wanted a Midori for awhile now. They have a rustic elegance that speaks to me.
I tried out the Recollections brand from Michaels last year to see if the system would work. And I liked it muchly. I have a 3 notebook system and you'll see more in the video of what, how and why.
Just unpacking this notebook was a delight. And it's a beautiful thing really, but not precious.

I ordered both the camel and brown and finally decided on the camel. They are both just beautiful. My son might get the dark brown for his birthday.
You can already see the signs of wear. The scuffs, and color shift. It will become more beautiful with age. If that isn't your bag, though, it seemed like the brown was less susceptible.
I'm not a particularly organized person. Have you noticed? (LOL, Barbara M). But I'm spinning a lot of plates and my planner is a lifeline. When ideas strike, I have a Master List and sketchbook always with me.
There are many deadlines and due dates in my life and I'd be lost without my planner. I use it in conjunction with my computer calendar since most of my deadlines come in on my computer. Every Sunday, I look at my computer calendar and put any deadlines (from others or self-imposed) into my planner. This is what works for me and maybe some of this will help you?
Amazon sells this but doesn't stock them. They come from Japan. Jetpens does sell them and they have free shipping. I'm "friends" with JetPens - not affiliated. I have a special link you can use

Diana,
I just HAD to have a planner, so I bought the Mambi classic, just to write down doctor and test appointments etc. It is sitting in my craft area with just a couple of notations in it. This will end up being another thing that I will fall behind on.......LOL I think I just like to spend money. Of course, I see your need for a planner with all that you are into. Think I had better get my planner now and write tomorrow's bloodwork appointment in it.....LOL. Thanks for the video, even though it made me feel guilty......LOL
