I’m not sure that it is THAT different - except that it’s completely up to you how to lay it out. I found the DayTimer setups too fussy for me. I like being able to mix up rapid logging with the calendar and appointments. I like the fact that you end up rewriting a lot of lists, which actually makes you decide whether or not they are actually that important. Some of it is kind of counterintuitive. I do still use my Google Calendar for electronic reminders, since I am apt to get lost in a task and forget appointments. Unfortunately I have the really bad habit of inputting things in the wrong week in electronic calendars - it appears to be some weird form of dyslexia or ADHD because I do it over and over and over again!
