[quote=Anonymous]In 2011 Amex sent me a nice Daily Planner book with a plain black hardback cover with minimal gold lettering on the spine that seems to have toggled in different years between “The American Express Appointment Book” and just “Appointment Book” with the year on the bottom. I have no idea why it changed sometimes.

My guess is that the 1st one was free but when I didn’t return it I implicitly agreed to keep it and subscribe to receiving another one every year, which seems to be delivered in November. Although I’ve noticed the stamped initials are my eldest son’s initials and it’s totally possible I thought it would be a gift for him, it was just something he had no interest in, so I kept that one and used it and then continued to use and keep the ones ever after.

I just received the 2026 one but haven’t broken it out of the box just yet. Last time I checked it was like $80 or something

I definitely keep calendars on my phone because the book isn’t going to remind me of anything with an alarm, but when I’m doing things like being on my cell phone with customer service asking me “can you write this down” I definitely have that book open all the time.

I look back now at all the volumes on my shelf and inside I have taped photos and important receipts, and I definitely used one volume heavily for each year one of our kids was applying to colleges to keep track of things. Never used them like a “diary” per se but I have definitely used them to scribble quick ideas and thoughts and potential shopping lists of things I hear about online but need to research more before buying. (I probably don’t buy 90% of those things)

Now I find like after 15 years I’m possibly handing them down to my adult kids as sort of a record of stuff. Like lists of maintenance things that need to be done every year to own a house, a jury duty summons postcard with YES YOU HAVE TO RESPOND TO THIS etc.

Anyone else still have manual planner diaries, or what is your system if not all online?[/quote]
