25 bucks is the cheapest day planner I’ve seen with a day for each year though. Seems less expensive.
However… I made my own in good old fashioned Excel (is that retro yet?). I probably am spending more than 25 in printing them, but whatever.
I stick them in a pretty leather three ring binder that some one gave me 15 or so years ago as an address book.

I also keep regular schedules, appointments, that kind of stuff in there. I use my phone calendar for most things, but I find it’s helpful to have a physical page to look at some times… and for meetings it’s just a bit easier to write at times. This is particularly true if the meeting is being held on the phone you’d be taking the notes with.

Also I can stick pages in page protectors and use white board markers… ah… now that’s cheaper. You don’t even have to reprint the page to update something.

I guess what I am saying is that while I don’t feel a burning urge to buy this, I can see why people would like it.
