The start of a new year is here (where did last year go exactly?) and if you’re looking to start it out organised then it is only right to invest in a brand new planner.
If the #NewYearNewYou pledge that we see all over our social media feeds applies to you or if you have a particular resolution to finally getting organised, then a brand new diary for 2019 is the place to start.
Despite living in the digital age, hard copies of diaries are still going strong. There’s just something much more satisfying about putting a pen to paper and having a physical copy to help keep on top of your plans, meetings, interviews, deadlines and anything else that needs remembering ie: the new season of Broad City, Love Island, Game of Thrones etc..
To suit every lifestyle, we have gathered the best dairies from pocket-sized A5 versions, personalised options, and fun ones with some kitsch and bold designs to keep in your bag, backpack or on your desk to ensure you never forget an arrangement again. At the very least these smart and savvy options will inspire you to keep planning well beyond mid-January.
Ready to populate with your 2019 plans, these diaries also feature address books as well as a place to write your to-do lists and other important notes.
