Compared to 2018’s back and forth on the subject of my 2019 diary, I am so pleased that this year there was none of that nonsense.
You can read about my 2019 diary here. Interestingly, it’s the most popular post in November 2018 of the 6 months since May 2018! And here are pictures of my 2019 diary in action on Instagram.
I saw all the diaries in my local bookshop, noticed a few that I liked but one stood out – this one. I thought about it for a few days and then went back to get it.
Things I love in a diary are:
- goals page at the front, and one for each month
- monthly events calendar at a glance
- weekly format
- not too big to carry around
This diary had all of these features and the best is that I’ve already played around with the same format in 2018, so I know it works for me.
I also like how it zips up so I can carry a thin bullet journal with me and zip the whole lot up so that it stays contained in my handbag.
For those who are new to me, I love a weekly planner because my brain thinks in weeks and no matter how pretty the daily planners are, I’d never use them as well as I use a weekly planner.
I also like that this diary has a prayer list if you’re so inclined (you can use it for your weekly intentions, which is almost the same thing!), your priorities for the week and the notes for the week section which I use for some of my weekend to-dos.
Perhaps this will be the year I’ll be able to restrict all my weekend to-dos to that one little section? 🙂
I prepared my diary by adding dates, school terms, public holidays, etc. and I started my to-dos yesterday too.
Do you use a diary? Which one are you using this year?
Here’s a useful post to help you make decisions if you haven’t decided yet.
