I only bought my 2012 diary (planner) on 1 December!
I do believe this is the latest I’ve bought my diary in about 5 years.
It’s a combination of not getting to the shops with enough time to have a good old browse and just not seeing something that jumped out at me and said, “YES!”
While I liked the A5 size I had this year, I found half of it went unused because I just don’t have as many appointments as I did in years past.
Effectively I was only using the notes section and a tiny portion of the week-at-a-glance.
So for next year I’ve gone even smaller (A6) in a gorgeous teal Italian leather. I’m super-tactile so I already can’t stop touching it.
It’s still a week-at-a-glance format with notes paper on the right but it somehow feels less overwhelming to me.
It’s from Legami, by the way.
And whenever I write a post like this, all of you very helpful readers tell me I should use online tools.
People, I’m a paper gal – years ago I kept trying to be an electronic person (and I’d stop being effective because of trying to use various online tools that didn’t work for me). Now I’ve fully embraced that I need to organise my life on paper.
If this is speaking to someone out there, embrace your paper-loving self.
Have you bought your diary yet?
It’s not, but I can relate in the opposite way: I’m an electronic kinda girl, and I can try and try and try again to stick to paper (mostly because the planner are usually beautiful!), it doesn’t work to me. I usually forget to open the planner, which completely defeats its purpose. An electronic planner or my smartphone, on the other hand, reminds me with vigorous beeps that there’s something to do! And the same is true for my hobby: scrapbooking. Even though I buy paper stuff in the hope of becoming a crafty girl, I’m a digiscrapper at heart and the said paper stuff ends up taking space in my office and making me feel guilty for not using it.
Nice 🙂
I like paper diary as well.
Beautiful colour! I can’t quite give up on paper yet, although I use a lot of electronics. So I’m a bit of a mix. Nothing quite beats sketching out ideas and lists in a diary.
YES actually! I bought it in August LOL
BUT it’s a 16 month and it started then, I think it’s technically a student one. It matches my purse and wallet and I even bought a matching pen LOL

Yep, paper all the way, baby! LOVE that planner of yours…texture, color, size. Everything is perfect!
LOL thanks! I do love that colour so much. It brings me joy to use it!
