I have used Day Designer planners for several years due to the hourly time slots, 3 important to-do list area, and the large area to make notes of other daily notes and to-do items. I’m not a big fan of the hard cover. My pages crinkle by the coil and paper being thin has started to pull and almost rip. I really like the planner overall, and love the choices for cover design, would like to see thicker paper or reinforced paper by the coil.
