While we’re all gearing up to Christmas and getting into the festive spirit, it’s also a good idea to have one eye on the new year to come. I always prefer writing down ideas, thoughts and events by hand rather than typing them out into my phone. Not only does it help me remember things, but there’s that first-day-of-school freshness and hope for the new that comes with paper goods.
So I’ve rounded up my favourite minimal diaries and planners for 2018 – everything from simple print-outs to stick on the wall, through simple notebooks and to-do lists, to classic diaries with plenty of space to jot down ideas. They’re all simply designed, with bold, graphic type and smart, clean pages.
