This planner packs a punch - it gets straight to the point with the essentials and leaves out all the extra frills and weight of those fancy planners you just don't know what to do with. You get 12 months of daily entries and months-at-a-glance. That's really all you need sometimes. Keep it simple. It's size - big enough to write entries, but small enough to fit in your purse. Not super thick or bulky.
