Day-Timer Starter Set Organizer - Black Bonded Leather Portable Planner with Calendar, Contacts & Notes - Perfect for Office, School & Daily Productivity (D41746)

I recently spent over $140 on leather calendar/date-keeper by another, very famous company. However, the way this other company organizes its various sections is counter-productive, inefficient, stupid and annoying. If, for example, you want to separate the months with tabs - Jan., Feb., etc. - you have to stick your own tabs on - a mess. You can special-order opaque separators with monthly tabs, but they are useless, because the end of each month on the calendar shares a page with the beginning of the next month. Last year I found an excellent product by Day-Timer at a local box store. But the store doesn't carry it anymore. Hence, the expensive mistake mentioned above. So I went to Amazon and found this wonderful, small product. I also bought it in a desk version, but the small one is so good, has so many excellent, sensible features that I plan to use it on-the-go and at my desk. You actually get monthly calendars with tabs, so you can flip directly to a particular month without leafing through page after page until you find the one you want. You get a phone directory with letter-tabs... you know: a,b,c, which did not come with the more famous company's product. Theirs had only blank pages for names, addresses, phone numbers. This recycled leather model is very well made, looks very high quality and costs a heck of a lot less than a new-leather version; the zipper works like Teflon and never jams; it's fat enough to stuff with all sorts of pockets, pads, zip lock bags, business cards, photos, paper clips, pens, etc. It truly is a splendid little item, which I plan to use for years to come and which I recommend without reservation.
