Recommend Me an Affordable, Executive Looking A4 Day to a Page Diary

Hi all

Starting a new job. Looking for a new diary. I plan to use it to take notes in daily meetings etc.

Hoping for a nice day to a page, A4 size that won't break the bank, still looks nice enough to carry it around in a professional setting, is durable enough to not crease and rip etc by the end of the year.

I'm conscious about it because it's a career upgrade for me to a more senior position than im used to. It's the Social norm to carry a diary around. I was thinking a stock standard Collins one but would love other recommendations.

Thanks

    Choose a Moleskine that meets your needs.

    Goto officeworks and check out the sale basket

    Maybe not the right time….but if u go around Feb or March there's plenty of very decent looking diaries they try to get rid of

    iPad/Surface Pro would be your ideal choice. Take notes, organise diary, scribble meeting minutes, thoughts, ideas, pick-up e-mail etc etc.

    I like Whitelines. Just seems easier on the eyes, although I don't take advantage of its scanning features.

    I'm not sure I understand the use case.

    Calendar will be online as people need to see your availability and it's really the superior way of managing your day (shuffling meetings, rooms, etc).

    A day to a page. Unless your handwriting is microscopic that will be filled up by lunch time.

    Or is the plan to just use it to plan out your key tasks for the day?

    Every exec I know has a PA, and a smartphone/tablet.
