My wife and I have been using this to plan out the week and it's been great to keep us both on track. I like that it has the days of the week on the side to write in appointments or obligations, but also has the black chalk portion to write in whatever is needed or even do some doodles. It is also magnetic, so you can pin up wedding invitations or what not as well. We have this in the kitchen/breakfast nook area so it's visible each morning as we start our day. It's easy to clean with a damp paper towel. A very useful tool.
