Day-Timer, 41745, Recycled Bonded Leather Starter Set, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, Black Cover, Sold As 1 Each

This is perfect for what I needed to keep track of my work tasks and my college assignments all in one. My boss, someone I've know for a very long time, uses her Day-Timer like its a lifeline. I admire her impeccable organization, so I got this to try to get started being organized too. I wanted one that was sturdy and zipped closed, but since I've never used one before, it seemed silly to invest in a real expensive leather one.This one is PERFECT! I'm very happy with my purchase. It's slightly bigger than I expected, but that's just because my estimation of sizes suck anyway :) The sample blank pages it came with are excellent, but I recently switched to the pre-dated Day-Timer filler pages because my boss ordered too many for herself and just gave me a set.It's simple, sturdy, and easy to use: all around a good quality product, especially for this great price. Now I just have to learn to use it diligently!

YEARS LATER...still going strong! I got it when it was under $25, but well worth over $30. I have seen similar ones much more money and this has LASTED!____________I was pleased with this organizer, particularly for the money. I have seen this for sale for about 60 and also for over 40, so under 25 is a great price.I wanted a simple black leather (this is bonded leather, but feels great) binder that zipped shut so receipts and things wouldn't fall out.I am happy with it and think anyone who wants a nice, everyday binder would be.

This is a excellent day timer for keeping track of activities, planning, taking notes, scheduling appointments, and general diary use. It comes with an assortment of office management tools (more than I ever use). The quality of the binder is first rate. I like that I can keep all of my activities in one place. This helps me stay organized. I would highly recommend this planner for anyone who likes to have all your pertinent information and tools at your finger tips.

I like that this came with a starter selection of several page formats so you can try several different ways to use it. The paper is not of good quality, but it's good enough to get started. The reference pages are useful. The binder is durable and looks great, but will need to break in before it will lay flat.

Details the manufacturer didn't emphasize:- It is larger than you might think. I ordered the personal size, and it is approximately 8" x 11"; there is about a full inch between the paper and the top, bottom, and side of the case. This is good, I think, because there is ample room for bookmarks or pens or whatnot. However, this will not fit into a medium purse, etc, if that is your goal. There are 7 rings.- The "starter package" is actually a FULL (undated) year, complete with tabs for every month and tabs (A-Z) in the back for an address book. There are monthly and daily pages.- The monthly pages have notes sections on the back, so you can separate them into the different tabs and do not have to keep them together. Mine also had, in the margin, the several years of months (e.g. April had April calendars from 2013-2019 on the right margin of the page).- There is a notepad in the back with punched holes, so you can add notes to the binder.- Other accessories include a plastic envelope, business/credit card holders, and a bookmark (all with hole punches). There's also a black plastic thing in the front, but I'm not sure what that is.- The front cover has a pocket you can slide things into. The inside has a larger, medium, and two small pockets. The back inside cover has a pen holder.

I expected it to have more room to write. I guess I should have researched more thoroughly as the one I had before was a two page and had actual dates. This one you have to write the dates in. I will be more careful when I reorder new packs.

Great planner, not to big for carrying around, not to small for larger writing. Very nice inserts!

Great product was so glad it is what I really expected it to be. Love it.
