in which I ramble on about planners and other stuff no one else cares about

Urgh. Today was definitely longer than it had to be. Why do I have to spend two-and-a-half friggin' hours in Franklin Covey just to buy a stupid planner binder and planner pages? Thankfully, in the end I bought the cheapest of what I was looking at, but I really, really wanted to get this leather wallet/purse/binder combo, but it's $99.95. See, the main concern is that I want something that will fit well in my bag but that has zippered or some other firm closure. And that doesn't cost $100. Well, that basically doesn't exist. And so... A purse that is my binder. That appealed to me. Plus, I spilled milk all over my wallet/purse a while ago, so I wanted either a wallet to put in my current bag or a new wallet/purse, and they don't sell them at Coffman anymore, so this did the trick. But besides the price, it had a lot of small quirks that made it not perfect enough to convince me to spend $100 on it.
In the end, I got the same fat $25 binder I got last time and the $7 cheaper original 2/day planning pages (I miss my Monticello design... :( But I'll get used to this style soon enough, I'm sure.) and a few add-ons, and after a 20% discount and tax I spent $66.84.
I still miss that slim black leather/blue denim binder I got from the Penns, though... ^_^;

And afterwards I got a cup of oolong tea from Teavana, decided not to by a $20 wallet, and decided to skip Barnes and Noble completely.

[EDIT: Ah, good thing I didn't get the wallet/purse/binder. I just got hit with a $33 overdraft fee. (I'm in the black now, though.)]

Zire. Same price easier to find your stuff in. It beeps when you need to remember stuff. You can archive your stuff to your computer and print out hard copies of stuff you need. You can keep 30 years worth of memos, date planners, etc in the same amount of space and archive it to CD ROM.

Paper planner. You loose thigs you wrote down and need to remember, because you forgot to flip through ever page to find the note you wrote yourself.

I love electronic organizers, but they're not quite the same as paper, either. I wish it were possible to sync the two.
