It is so reassuring that there are still companies producing traditional products in this day and age. For those of us who still enjoy handwriting with pen or pencil on paper, these products are a treasure. I have been using the DB-23 monthly planner for 20+ years and can't live without it. I am grateful to Payne Publishing for continuing to produce these wonderful, high-quality calendars. Ps. your website is also very well organized. ~ Nora Kelemen, 11/13/2023

I have been using the Academic Time Master for nearly 10 years. I first discovered it at the NYU Bookstore, and it has been my favorite planner ever since. I absolutely love it! The design, layout, and functionality have helped me stay organized year after year. I simply wanted to thank you for creating such a wonderful product. I just placed my order for the 2026-2027 edition and am looking forward to another great year with it. Thank you for your continued work. ~ Nupur, 6/5/2026

Old school paper planners at the best in class, been using tm-3 for decades. ~ F Fitch, 12/3/2024

I’ve used a lot of planners over the years and this lay out is EXACTLY what I needed for keeping my lectures and assignments straight. The large area for writing assignments due on the weekends was a much needed space that most small planners lack. I am so glad so was able to find another one for this upcoming school year and hopefully for all the years to come. ~ Abigail (Cleveland), 5/14/2020

I LOVE this calendar because it sits on my clipboard and I can see the whole month at a glance. No flipping pages in a daily planner, no thumbing the phone. Back to the future!! This specific calendar, the VP-811 has been keeping me organized for the last 40 years. I can't work without it! A+ for size, A+ for utility. ~ Jim (Massachusetts), 1/12/2023

Discovered this calendar in 2008 at Bob Slate in Cambridge, MA and have been using them ever since. The calendar box for each day is big enough to write in, but overall size is great for a knapsack or purse. The cover is very durable - I've never had one tear or get bent. Very helpful to have a calendar from August through September that crosses over "year end". Good inspirational quotes for each month are a nice touch. These have kept me organized through the years. A great product! ~ Ruth (Boston, MA), 8/10/2022

I got my first timemaster Jan 2021 while finishing up my senior year at university--the planner was perfect for me. Small and compact, plenty of space to put priorities and information, and organized for how my brain functions! Found it at a bookstore, and decided to get ahead of the game and order right from the publisher for 2022! The cover and binding are strong, the paper is good quality. I can use felt tip pens and it doesn't bleed, paperclips, stickers and tape and it has held up well. Love the year-at-a-glance and month-at-a-glance pages! Nice color selection too. ~ Tina (Wisconsin), 7/7/2021

I am so grateful to have found this mini planner. Every year, I literally spend weeks trying to find a planner this size, one that will fit in your pocket so that you can make appointments on the go without electronic gadgets. They are great for teachers, who often must quickly note info. I finally found mine at the Paper Bear in San Marcos, Texas. It's also great to have a traditional planner that starts on Sunday. I will definitely recommend this product and will use your company to get these in the future. ~ Ron Schneider, Physics Teacher, 1/1/2013
