A YEAR WELL PLANNED

A closer look at our new Academic Diary.

For students, teachers, and professionals alike, the start of a new school year is a blank canvas – make the most of it with our new Academic Diary, whether you’re planning lectures or attending them.

Thoughtfully designed to help you plan, track, and achieve from the first day of term to the last, the Academic Diary is an elegant multi-purpose tool to organise your days, months, and year. Inside, versatile layouts run from June through the following August, with ample space to capture everything from ideas scribbled between classes to detailed study plans, while a convenient slip pocket keeps loose pages safe.

As with every Smythson diary, each piece is crafted by hand in our Panama cross-grain leather, filled with signature gilt-edged, blue Featherweight pages, and finished with a hand-placed grosgrain ribbon marker.

THE YEAR AT A GLANCE

A year can feel like an overwhelming period of time to map out, but our year planner layout makes it simple to see everything in one clear view. Designed to give you perspective at a glance, it allows you to plot key dates, deadlines, and milestones without losing sight of the bigger picture. Whether you’re planning your academic year, setting goals, or simply staying ahead of important commitments, this spread helps turn twelve months into a manageable plan.

THE MONTHLY OVERVIEW

Combining two layouts, the monthly pages will bring clarity to the weeks ahead by breaking up larger goals into smaller, actionable steps. The calendar provides the perfect space to map out your framework for the month, all in one convenient view, from deadlines, assignments and lectures to study sessions and social occasions. Our monthly planner and facing notes page offers both structure and space to scribble reflections and reminders freely, whether a to-do list, seminar notes, a Wi-Fi password or a spark of inspiration.

THE FINER DETAILS

It’s within the finer details that your days find order; these pages are designed to keep your routine in clear view, from weekly timetables to daily plans. Begin by transferring your timetable to create a clear study, revision or lesson plan, ensuring all of your weekly commitments are visible at a glance. A dedicated space at the bottom allows for quick notes, and the flexible layout lets you add your own terms and dates. No diary would be complete without the quintessential week-to-view layout, offering a snapshot of the week ahead with a column for each day and a detailed 12-hour breakdown to give a thorough view of your schedule.
