It actually depends on the paper you use and the dividers you use. Circa paper is thicker than ordinary 18- or 20-pound paper. In my 3/4-inch letter-sized notebook, I have 5 plastic tabbed dividers...

Or generic version of the same thing. I'm never without my wallet, which also has credit cards, identification, and building-access cards in it. Because my wallet also has a pad of paper and pen in...

Outlook allows you to open Tasks (or any other folder) in its own window. Right-click on the folder you want and select "Open in New Window." That will let you open up Tasks and see your Projects...

I use Circa, but only for certain lists. I have the full-sized notebook with 5 tabs: Actions, Projects, Waiting For, Agendas, Errands.

I'm seeing a lot of people who have joined. Any further insights, reviews, opinions, etc. now that it's been a couple of weeks?

I have no experience using it, and no opinion on it one way or another, but I've read some decent reviews of Copernic Summarizer. Might be worth checking out if you're looking at that type of...
