I work for an animal shelter as the cat department supervisor. I have been searching for a planner for work for literal months. The ones I kept finding were either filled with water, food and exercise trackers...a waste of space and a good way for me to feel guilty every time I try to use it for actual work stuff. Predated, ok that might work for some people but I don't always need it every day so again a waste of space. Blocked in writing space, sometimes it was way too much space, others not nearly enough. What do you do then? You can't just write today's things in tomorrow's spot!This planner solved all that for me. Let's start with the cover. Thick, laminated, sturdy and beautiful! I can write notes on it in dry erase marker and wipe it clean, no need for a clip board, the cover is sturdy enough to write in the planner while holding it.The binding?! Oh heavens I nearly purred at the spiral binding. No cheap, easy to bend, break or snag on anything wire here! It's made of thick, I mean really thick and smooth metal. The pages glide as you turn them, stuff this planner in your bookbag, purse or briefcase and she ain't bending!The paper is luxurious, smooth feeling without any glossiness so ink actually soaks in and doesn't smudge. I'm partial to G2 pens 1.0 mm writing tips and anyone who also uses these knows how easy they smudge or bleed through. Not on this planner! I've used my pen and highlighters with no problem.The simple lined side of the paper allows me to decide when a particular day begins and stops. The stickers included make it easy to mark the date. The to do list on the side is absolutely perfectly designed. The pages are perforated, ao if you need to remove one, it comes out easily. My only suggestion would be to include the to do list on the back side of the page too. The back side is simply just lined. I would also suggest including a snap in bookmark so we can easily find where we are in the planner.When I brought this planner in to work my coworkers went crazy over it too! I bought 4 for Christmas presents for them. One for each of the supervisors and one for my manager.10/10 worth every penny and then some!!!
