A (very) detailed review
The physical notebook:- Overall the notebook itself has a very nice substantial feel. The cover is smooth and really nice to the touch. It’s what a high end notebook cover should feel like.- The cover is sturdy and not flimsy at all. Which is extra nice if you are trying to write in the notebook in your hand.- The coil binding works out well because it allows the notebook to lay completely flat on the table.- The white “Action Pages” work surprisingly well. The stickies stick to them very well (they have never once fallen out), but stickies also remove very easily and don’t leave a mess. I was concerned these sheets won’t hold up, but they actually held up really really well.- I really like the thick green enclosure band. At first it seemed too thick when I got it, but now whenever I occasionally use my Moleskin, that band feels flimsy.Functionality:- For me, using stickies is fantastic. I can take each of my to-dos and put them each on a sticky. Once done, trash the sticky. Soooo simple!- The stickies are all in the notebook and not on my desk. So I can easily take all my to-dos wherever I need to go.- You can see ten stickies/to-dos on two pages when opened.- This makes prioritizing simple because you can easily take in what you need to get done all at once.- Since I really only take “notes” on what I need to get done, they all go on the stickies and not on the lined pages. I thought I would fill up the lined pages quickly, but after six months, I am not even a third of a way through.Durability:- The notebook came with 3 extra double sided tapes to refill the sticky pad. I actually used them up pretty quick, but they are cheap and you can get them easily at Walmart.- I have been using this notebook over half a year now and no signs of tear and wear. The cover is still nice. Somehow it even seems water resistant the few times I got a little water on it from my bottle.- Sturdiness is still there, it’s not falling apart at all.The Cons:- Just one thing really; the sticky pad itself fell out on me twice. But I just learned to handle my notebook with a bit more care. If you don’t toss it across the room, you are good to go.Bottom line:The overall quality is very solid for a notebook. And the functionally is super simple and effective. The calendar type notebooks, daily/weekly/monthly types can’t be compared to this. It’s hard to put it in words, but for people who need to track a lot of stuff of what they need to do, this “system” can’t be beat! I can’t see myself using anything else now.

This notebook is easy to use and a must have for secure office environments. The handy sticky notes help keep important items up front and are easily sorted for changes in priority or tossed away once tasks are completed. The first few pages are plain white to hold the sticky notes, while the following pages are lined for keeping more permanent notes. This makes logging events or chronicling meetings a snap. The cover is a soft non-slip material perfect for those who loathe finger print smudges. The elastic neon colored band keeps the notebook closed when needed and is bright enough to highlight its location. The only thing I think could make this notebook better would be to add pockets to the front and rear covers to hold important printouts during meetings. I find myself grabbing this notebook any time I need to take action or when I get flooded with tasks too numerous to track in my head. Great Product!

This for me is the perfect solution to keep track of to-do's
This for me is the perfect solution to keep track of to-do's. The system works very well when you are dealing with constant priority changes in tasks. 5 notes per page seemed like a waste of space originally, but i am finding that it gives a good representation of top priorities. The only reason why I cannot give it 5 stars is that the pad of sticky notes will start falling out very quickly. A simple corner ledge would solve that. For now I use a large document clip to hold the sticky notes which is a nuisance when you need to make a new entry, but the benefits still outway that minor item.

Buy an ActioNotebook, you deserve one! :)
This is THE notebook you need to get and stay organized at work and in life. I uses to bury my action items deep in the context of my old notebooks and this system eliminates that problem entirely! I simply write them on the included post it notes and stick them to the action items pages and when they're done, I toss them in the recycle bin. Talk about instant gratification and a quick sense of accomplishment. I think this is the only way to take notes and manage actions. I have made believers out of several people at work and they're more efficient (and less forgetful) as a result. I highly recommend ActioNotebook!

Works for what I bought it for
Don't use it as much as I thought I would, but works good for what I bought it for. Make post it's of what I need to get done, and move it to my poster board where I list what I need to do. Helps me to write down due dates right away instead of convincing myself I'll remember it later. Or trying to type as fast as professors talk

I like it but as other reviewers have said the sticky note pad comes off easily. For the amount of money you spend on this book you would think they would have a better system for the note pad. I solved that problem by putting a clip on it and it works fine that way. Other then that it's been great organizing my work load on here.

Finally!
I live by post it and this is a great solution to prioritize and keep with me at all times instead of all over my desk. Only downside is the actual post it pad (not the individual sheets) does not stick well to the notebook. I took a small binder clip and clipped the majority to keep in place other than that this was an excellent buy! Thank you.

This is such an innovative idea! I am a student and have to juggle many different assignments and "to-do's" all at once. I love that I can jot down what I need to get done and then re-prioritize by moving the post-its around if a deadline changes. My dad has seen me using mine and wants one for himself so i will be ordering him one for Christmas!
