I get this planner every single year.  I used to use a planner where I chose the pages and put them in my little binder but with a family of five, none of the pages suited me as well as this.  I use a blank row for each person so I can see at a glance who has an appointment or a day off from school, for example.  I think it could also be helpful as a student planner using a row for each class.  If you don't have five people you could use a row for birthdays and anniversaries or special tasks that you want to keep track of, or maybe even things that are for multiple people or the whole family.  This won't serve everybody's needs but if a monthly calendar doesn't have enough room and a daily schedule planner is too much, this could be a possibility.
