What's the Right Diary / Planner for You ?


The Workaholic/Big Organiser: Kikki.K: Personal Planner (or Time Planner)


I purchased a personal planner earlier this year and have fallen in love! For anybody who is at uni or working full time and wants something where they can pop important dates and also compile their notes and other projects all together - this is the planner for you.

The personal planners come with tabs and note paper already inside it as well as a little to-do list and note pad at the back. Kikki.K also offer tonnes of cute Planner Dashboard Kits containing extra pockets, stickers, page markers and more to help you to start jazzing up your diary, or otherwise you can add your own little personal touches.

Anything you can hole punch can live in this planner. Invitations, concert tickets, note-papers to jot meeting notes on, photos, inspirational quotes cards, ANYTHING! If you are the on-the-go person who doesn't want to be carrying around 4 different books and note-pads, this is perfect for you.






The Mum/Student/Health-Buff/Busy Bee: Kikki.K: A5 Family Diary


This is my all-time favourite Kikki.K diary! Whilst it may be called the 'Family Diary', it's layout offers the perfect solution for any mum, student, health-buff or busy bee in my opinion.

The way this is set out is with the days gridded vertically and six columns lining the top so you can catergorise your days. For a mother, she could pop in all of her children's names, 'gym', 'social' and 'birthdays' to keep track of what herself and her family is up to. For anybody else wanting to use the Family Diary, I think it's awesome to keep track of lots of things at once. I'm going to give the Family Diary a go next year - categorising my sections into 'uni subject 1', 'uni subject 2', 'uni subject 3', 'work', 'social' and 'other'... but how perfect is this for anybody who wants to keep track of their own well-being and what not!?

I can also totally imagine a health buff using this for 'breakfast', 'lunch', 'dinner', 'gym', 'social', 'other' ... THERE ARE JUST SO MANY EXCITING POSSIBILITIES. Plus, it has perforated shopping lists and a plastic zip lock pocket at the back, (like I needed another reason to love it.)




The Glancer:
Kikki.K: Wall Planner

If you're one of those people who just like to know what's going on in the week but don't need all the details and stuff jotted down as you can just check your events tab on Facebook, this is ideal for you! 

It's a super simple, paper wall-planner which has each day gridded and allows you to simply glance and know what's going on in your day. Even if you wanted to grid due dates and use a diary separately, this could work super well for that too. I love the possibility of adding cute stickers (check out 'Life's Little Stickers' on the Kikki.K website) to keep track of everything going on and make it easy to colour-code and track things.
 


The Bits 'n' Pieces Person/Scheduler:
Marks Inc.: Storage.It Weekly Diary

If you are a specific scheduler and need times printed on the page to plot everything in your day and also want something to organise your backpack or handbag a little better, Marks Inc. has provided the perfect solution! 

It has a timed day grid, allowing you to schedule your daily plans orderly, and also has an amazing plastic zip-lock cover you can pop all your bits 'n' pieces into. It's large enough to store headphones, pens and anything else you use to organise your life. The diary comes in a range of colours so you're sure to find one that suits you, and I am a huge fan of this layout. These diaries are available on www.notemaker.com.au (and while you're checking out the diaries ... take a look at the whole site - it's so addictive, and check out 'Rifle Paper Co' too). Sorry in advance, your wallet may not like you very much after this, goodbye money! But is it so worth it.




I hope this little article has pushed you a little closer to picking your diary for next year! Organisation is just the best, enjoy setting up your new diary/planner! :)
