My personal organizer is jet black. I like the bit where I can mark off my vacations! The most original things in there are the pics of my nephew, Mace! Isn' he the CUTEST?

My personal organizer is simply my schedule for work and play. I'm kind of stupid, so my work schedule is really important. The design was too dull and simple, so I added some painted sea shells to it to make it more interesting.

Personal organizers are the next best thing to a committed spouse - they know your friends, where you go, what you do and never forget anniversaries and birthdays. Some will even run your life if you let 'em! This week, our organized reporter got the lowdown on Tokyo's personal organizers, which bit is the most useful, and what makes yours unique.

This personal organizer is a Palm IIIxe hand-held PDA. What's the most useful thing about it? The calendar and infrared syncing tool. The most interesting thing in here is the section with all my old girlfriends' phone numbers that I never use!
