This is handy if you need something that is light and can slip in the pocket of your laptop case. It's a little thinner than I expected. It's just a month-at-a-glance calendar with a few extras. Those extras include a place for notes in the back and also room for contacts. There is a small section called future planning which leaves room for a paragraph for each month. I do like the layout of the calendar pages. The boxes are nice and roomy and there is graph paper in the margins for writing some notes. I like the elastic that wraps around to keep it closed in my tote bag. The black matte cover does show smudges a lot. It's a yardstick that feels like suede a little.
