Admittedly, the first few months of or 2021 are looking a little quiet for us all, but it's always good to be optimistic, right? In any case, a good diary has plenty of extra perks aside from a place to record your weekend plans – they can help you remember all-important birthdays, standing arrangements and to-do lists. Some even provide a space for you to keep up good mindfulness habits, such as writing down what you're grateful for, or recording your daily water intake.

So, if you think this is the year you'll finally get organised, here are our picks of the best 2021 diaries and planners to help you breeze through each month stress-free.
