Paperl academic diaries/planners

What paper/physical academic diaries or planners does everyone use or recommend?

I used to have a Castelli Matra academic diary in either A5 daily or a weekly Quarto but they don't make academic diaries any longer. For some people a regular annual diary would work but I don't like the fact they don't fit the academic year.

I have found something less high end but with the features I love, I now use POPRUN (timeworkswonders) academic diaries which I find very handy for planning my academic year. Available on Amazon I think for not silly money. I'd sooner a posh Castelli one though :frown:

Hi @Dreamsandwishes

I really like Grace Beverley's Productivity Method planner. I find it great for uni as it makes it easy to separate things you need to do for uni and general day to day tasks, as uni is really about balance.

Hope this helps :smile:

Hi there,

This may sound mad, but I just bought the cheapest academic week a page planner I could find in my local Tescos. I used it to write myself reminders, to-do-lists and times of things in my day. For example, in my first year I used t o write down my lectures, the times and locations, and did this until I got used to my timetable, then I just used it for to-do lists. All my main lecture notes I took on my laptop as I found it easier to get more down this way.

These ones from Amazon are also really nice if you wanted something a bit more chic than a cheap supermarket diary! 🙂

Best of luck!
