Being organised is a lot less daunting when you have a diary or planner that you love. While the calendar on your smartphone is efficient and can be easily synced with other devices, keeping a physical book and being able to flip through the pages to see what you’ve done for the past weeks, months, or years is satisfying.
You don’t even need to use your diary or planner for scheduling appointments or keeping track of meetings if you prefer to use technology. Lots of people prefer to use their diaries for setting goals, writing poems, drawing pictures, or even just writing about what happened during their day. What matters most is being able to get your thoughts on paper so you can look back at them later on.
If you’re looking to get organised or start journalling next year, here’s our list of the best diaries and planners for 2024 and beyond.
