More than a Planner

I'm more than a planner,  
but most cannot see,  
more than paper, plastic, and metal for thee.  
I'm the storage of goals, thoughts, actions, and deeds, 
 I'm an area to grow and plan your ideas like seeds. 
 I don't need batteries –  
I work via pen, I'll make things better –  
like medicine can.  
You can drop me, bop me, and stomp on my coat,  
but inside I'll protect whatever you wrote.  
What you give me will stay and this is so true,  
I'll always be waiting for more things from you.
