Moleskine diary layout guide

Moleskine diaries are top of the sales charts year after year, and they've helped thousands of people organise their lives, appointments and projects. But which Moleskine diary is the best one for you?

Daily diary
Daily diaries are perfect if you've got a busy schedule, or like to manage your time down to the minute. Each page gives you space to lay out you day from 8am to 8pm to jot down all your important meetings and appointments, with helpful week markings to help professionals track where they are in the year.

Our Daily Pick
Moleskine's Daily Diary has plenty of space for even the busiest schedule, in a Large format that gives you all the room you need in a compact design that you can carry everywhere you go. And you can feel comfortable tossing your diary in your bag – with a robust Hard Cover, this diary will keep all your info safe and secure.

 

Weekly diaries
Offering a more balanced layout, Weekly diaries make it easy to stay on top of everything you've got coming up by showing your week at a glance. If deadlines are always sneaking up on you, or you find yourself buying birthday presents on the day-of, a Weekly diary might be the one for you.

For those of you who like to plan your whole week at once, you've got three main options: Weekly Notebook, Weekly Horizontal and Weekly Vertical.

Weekly Notebook diaries are the most popular of the two, giving you your week on one page plus a notebook-style page each week to jot down important reminders, write a shopping list, or anything else you might traditionally do with a notebook. It's the most versatile diary option, with room to manage all the busy weeks that sneak up on you, or just capturing those moments of creative inspiration when they strike.

The Pocket-sized 2024 Weekly Notebook Diary is a portable planner designed to go everywhere with you. At a compact 9 x 14cm and sporting a slim soft cover, you can check your upcoming schedule and make important notes at a moment's notice, so there's no need to rely on your memory for those essential events and phone numbers.

The Weekly Notebook is available in an array of colours, and in your choice of Pocket, Large and Extra Large sizes. There are also plenty of Hard Cover versions if you like your diary to be more rugged. Still not sure which version is right for you? Have a look at our Notebook Size Guide to help narrow it down.

Weekly Horizontal diaries, on the other hand, spread your week over a double-page spread, giving you a little more space to keep track of each day's important details. If you like knowing what's coming up at a glance, the Weekly Horizontal view keeps everything right in front of your eyes, so you'll never let a due date sneak up on you again.

That kind of precision planning is why Professional diaries go for the vertical layout, so you can slot in that last-minute meeting knowing you aren't double-booking yourself.
