Get back on track for 2020 with the help of these mid-year diaries - you can thank us later.
For all of the complaining we did during our school years, there was one thing which made ‘back to school’ season something to celebrate: the inevitable stationery haul. There was something so satisfying about picking a fresh set of pens, choosing a new diary and getting everything organised ready to start again. It was like round two of #newyearnewme – a chance to reset and get your life together (kind of).
But why should the school kids get all the fun? Why can’t we, the adults, join in too? Enter the mid-year diary. These beautiful planners give us the chance to refresh our desks and get back on track with all the goals we set long ago in January, even if we gave up studying a long time ago.
And lucky for you, we’ve done all the work. Take a look through the list below to find the mid-year diary of your dreams.
