First Paper Planner Designed for Handheld Users

    LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- DayTimers, Inc., and Laura
 Stack, The Productivity Pro(R), have designed the first paper planner for
 those who want the efficiency of handheld devices and the reliability of
 paper.
 
     "Increasingly, technology has become another thing to manage. Rather
 than supplementing handheld technology with post-it notes, random yellow
 pads, or voice mail messages recorded on napkins, professionals can now use
 this planner as an organized way to take notes, create lists, file needed
 information, and track projects," said Kenneth Drudy, director of
 merchandising for DayTimers.
 
     "Having our lives run by technology can be emotionally draining,"
 commented Laura Stack, DayTimers expert on productivity and author of the
 just-released, The Exhaustion Cure. "Some people believe that going
 paperless is the ultimate goal, but countless others prefer making lists
 and taking notes on paper. Now, it is no longer an 'all or nothing'
 proposition -- you can do both.
 
     The DayTimer(R) Productivity Pro(R) Planner features monthly calendar
 pages and contact tabs, so it can also be used by professionals who don't
 own handhelds. The 2-Page-Per-Month planner layout coordinates all time
 commitments-personal and professional-in one place. The 2-Page-Per-Day
 pages have ample space for making lists of things to do and phone calls to
 make. The A-to-Z tabs double as a contact management system and a paper
 filing system. The Notes pages capture conversations, meeting notes and
 project schedules. As an added bonus, each page offers productivity and
 work-life balance tips by Ms. Stack. This organizing power is contained in
 a Portable binder that's easy to carry in a handbag or briefcase.
 
     The DayTimer(R) Productivity Pro(R) Planner is available exclusively
 from DayTimers (www.daytimer.com/productivity) beginning May 2008. Laura
 Stack's newest book, The Exhaustion Cure is available in bookstores
 everywhere and at www.daytimer.com/productivity as well as
 www.theproductivitypro.com.
