A steal for the price!
I purchased the "large" PlanAhead organizer. It came with 5x8 paper, which is a5, classic, etc. I bought it for the organizer itself but I was absolutely amazed all that came with it!
When you open up the planner, it has a zippered pocket on the left, business card holders, and two pockets. At the back there is an elastic pen loop and more folders and pockets.
There are three rings - not two sets of three rings - just 3 rings like a normal 5x8 binder, which makes punching or finding a a5 hole punch much cheaper if you decide not to use the inserts.
There is a "Today" plastic page marker that also has a ruler on it. A page of Personal Information including ICE, as well as spots for blood type, medications, allergies, insurance companies, etc.
It starts with a January To Do TAB and page. You can check off your monthly to do's in the space provided. This is the same from January to December. Although it is undated, there are tabs for each month. Included in each month is the to do page, monthly page, and weekly one on two pages set up.. and you have enough for each month.
Wait, there is more. Then there is a To Do, Work, Personal, Reference TABS and inserts. "To Do" has more of those monthly to do's I was telling you about - except these just say "To Do" at the top instead of the month. "Work" has a date, notes/conversation, and follow-up set up. "Personal" includes Birthdays & Occasions set up Jan - Dec with a LOT of room. Included as well are Budget Organizers and Expenses. "Reference" includes Metric Units, U.S. Units, Celestial, Clothing Sizes (US, UK, Europe, Canada), Time Zone Map of USA.
THEN we get to the "Contacts" tab, which is basically like a phone book, except with plenty of space for Name & Address, Email, Home, Office, Cell, Fax. After the "Contacts" tab, there are additional tabs that correlate - AB, CD, EF, GH, IJ, KL, MN, OP, QR, ST, UWV, XYZ.
After all of these glorious inserts, you have a zippered vinyl pouch which is quite durable, as well as a durable business card vinyl sheet, both of these are hole punched already.
The organizer itself seems very sturdy, it is soft, and there is a magnetic closure for the organizer. I am REALLY really impressed with this product and I can't even imagine how much I would have to pay for a Franklin Covey, Filofax, Day Runner, or Day Timer to get everything included in this. I am impressed in the variety of inserts as well as the quality of the organizer itself.
Oh, and then there is a PAD of "Notes" which is just lined paper that is pre-punched and sits nicely in the back of the planner too! I have added a silent video of all of the contents found in this organizer since in product details, it does not give much information.
