I bought this same brand and size of date book last year, although my 2015 version had a black cover and was spiral-bound. This planner allows one to briefly note appointments and/or what they need to get done hour-by-hour, allowing space to do so from 7 am to 8 pm each day of the week. It is lightweight and relatively easy to hold, but it's not flimsy or cheap in feel. It's colorful, but not unprofessional or gaudy in appearance. There is space allotted within each week's section to note "Email/Paperwork/Errands" on the left-hand side. On the bottom, right-hand side there is a section for "Goals/Project I Will Work On This Week". These components serve as convenient documentation/reminder areas for the goal-oriented individual.
