While many of us are glued to our smartphone devices and rely on digital calendars, the charm of unplugging and putting pen to paper in a weekly diary is unparalleled. Embrace the joy of jotting down your thoughts and planning the year ahead with a designer planner. Keeping your plans all under wraps in one place is key to keeping your life organized – you’ll also guarantee that a technology glitch won’t wipe away your lists and appointments.
Speaking to Vogue Arabia, Saudi womenswear designer Arwa Al Banawi shares how she ledgers her life: “I’m an old soul, so I make sure to have my entire schedule planned for the next day before I go to bed. Using a day planner is comforting to me and I like the flexibility of being able to write, edit my day, and sketch, if I’m inspired by something. I don’t believe in doing it digitally yet.” As for her favorite planner, she swears by her favorite: Smythson.
