myAgenda

I needed a new planner this week. I got a little $3 one from the student stores on campus in August, but being only $3, there wasn't enough room to write everything I have to do in it, plus it didn't hold up at all. So this week I started looking for a new one. I wasn't easily satisfied. I looked for a better one in the student stores with no luck; I actually bought one and returned it after I realized it was only for 2008. I wanted something that started in August so that I could write down what I've done so far this school year (to keep as a record, and because I'm obsessive) and also went all the way through 2008, though I wasn't going to get my hopes up about that.

Today I looked to see what See Jane Work had, and found the myAgenda, from the makers of momAgenda. I looked to see how much the shipping was from either See Jane Work or straight from the source, and it was almost $10 at either of them. Nuh uh. So I looked to see where momAgenda's products were available locally, and found them at Salutations in Meadowmont Village.

I really hated spending $35 on an agenda, but this one was truly everything I wanted, and as I said, I'm obsessive. I use my planner every day, so it would be worth the cost if I could find the perfect one. The metallic espresso cover is beautiful, and there are two ribbons to keep your place in the book. There are different blocks in the daily/weekly planner section to use for whatever you want. I'm using mine to keep track of my deadlines, work hours, class schedule, random appointments, and homework/miscellaneous to-do. There are separate sections for birthdays and anniversaries; websites, usernames, and passwords; take-out/delivery phone numbers; and a ton of other useful things that I constantly have to look up in inconvenient places. It's so nice to have all those little things in one place where they're easy to find.

By the way, it goes from August 2007 through the end of 2008. It really is perfect.
