Mead Q4 Paper Tablet, Graph Ruled, 20 Sheets, 11" x 8 1/2"

I was an early adopter of Personal Digital Assistants, beginning with the Palm Pilot all the way through the latest smart phones - but the simple reality for me is that paper and pencil is faster and easier for me to use. The only advantage of digital systems is the ability to search and recall past events - but, I almost never need that functionality. I need to make quick notes, have quick access to my schedule, etc., and the compact page-per-day planner is faster and easier to use than any electronic device I've ever used. Plus, I never have to worry about the battery going dead, I can use it on a plane, and when I drop my Day-Timer, the screen doesn't crack.

As an auditor of governments and non-profits I have to keep my time, by financial statement area, to the quarter hour. The small size of this makes it easy to carry with my workpapers but has enough space per day for me to write down the time for each area. I've used the same cover for at least 15 years and it's still nearly new.

As an Information Technology Systems Engineer, I hear horror stories almost every day from people whose sensitive, personal and business information has been lost because they stored it on their smart phone, tablet or computer, and the device was either stolen, lost, broke, or was hacked. You can't hack a Day-Timer.

Got first Day-Timer in January 1980; senior two page per day and have consolidated to Junior one page per day. Would be lost without my Day-Timer but quality has suffered in the last few years. Several times the calendar has been incorrect! Hard to be efficient when I have the day wrong!

User for 50 years. Daily use for reminders and as journal. Would like to see refill books offered without all accessories. Have tons of unused spare pages and expensive calendars,boxes, etc. Would cut down cost and shipping. etc save environment, more.

Unique, I have not found another product with the same features that and still fit into my shirt pocket. I prefer the 2 page-per-day version, but I do not like the high price. I'm trying the 1 page-per-day version for the first time.

I have used the 1 page a day system for many years now and can go back when needed to check detail, phone # or other info needed. The only thing that I don't like is that day timer no longer makes any fashion covers or other good leather covers for the compact size day timer system.

I have been using the one-page-per-day compact planner for over 20 years. I like the compact size, and the leather cover I ordered with the first one still looks almost as good as new. There are two drawbacks to the product: You have to trade what I believe are an inordinate amount of dollars for it, and you also have to give the company what seems like way too many dollars to ship it. Without those two problems, the product would get 5 stars from me. Perhaps if it were shipped with just the planner refills and without all of the other stuff that is just thrown away, the number of dollars traded for it and given for shipping would be more reasonable.

I love Daytimer and have used these products for about 45 years now. I do still recommend Daytimer. But the pricing (including the exorbitant shipping and handling fee) in comparison to the digital planners that already come built into my cell phone are making me re-think my patterns. I am truly "old-school," but this old dog can still learn new tricks.

This could so easily be made a great pocket calendar with just a few formatting/setup changes: MONDAY START! 99% of the workforce starts the work week on Monday - when planner companies have daily/monthly planners which start on Sunday, the flow of weekly and monthly planning suffers (for example, events that occupy the entire weekend have to be written twice on a Sunday-start monthly calendar vs. just written once across the weekend on a Monday-start monthly planner) Two changes need to be made to improve this 1ppd compact calendar in this respect: 1-The monthly planning pages included in the back of each booklet needs to be Sunday-start 2-Start the daily planner pages with the "Notes/Memo" page on the left-sided page (and rename it "Notes/Memo/Weekly To-Do") and Monday on the right-sided page. This results in several huge improvements: 1- the weekend pages (Saturday and Sunday) then both show up on opposing pages so that the entire weekend can be seen when opening the planner to Sat or Sun 2-for those that tear out past pages to keep minimal thickness, the Notes/Memo page can be kept in during the week and be as a constant reminder of the weekly to-do Perforated corner tabs at the bottom would also increase accessibility of the monthly planner at the back of each booklet
