Academic Diary 2025, Jan.2025-Dec.2025, 12 Months Monthly & Weekly Planner, A5 Diary Spiral Bound Week to View, Weekly Planner Notebook with Bookmark, Organiser Planner for Life Work Balance

Here are my thoughts about this diary, from the perspective of getting it for my elderly aunt, who is starting to find it essential to write everything down:1. The cover is pretty and eye-catching and will be less likely to get mislaid/will be more easily found.2. The info pages inside are well thought-out and include a quick-reference page for emergency contacts.3. The print is large and the fonts clear.4. The month tabs make it really easy to navigate from month to month.5. There's a month to view at the beginning of each tab, followed by the spacious week-to-view pages.6. The bookmark that clips/unclips into the ring binding says TODAY at the top: a useful memory aid.7. Metal edged corners to protect the diary if dropped.In addition to these specific plusses, the paper is decent quality and there's an elastic to hold the diary shut. I'm very pleased with it and my aunt will be too, I'm sure.

This is a lovely diary to get you organised for the year (2025). It is A5 sized which to me is more of a desk diary but still very much portable. Even though the description shows other cover patterns the one i received is a really nice green and pink floral print on coated card. This spiral bound book has reinforced corners and features a removable page marker, internal pocket on the back cover and an elastic strap to keep the diary closed when not in use.Well laid out with a week to view over 2 pages plus monthly planners are included, will be very useful. Includes some reference information plus holidays although on closer inspection, the public holidays listed are for the US and not the UK so this is a little irrelevant but on the whole the diary is still very usable.I would have said around £10-12 but at £17.58 (at the time of review) i think it is a bit overpriced even though the quality is very good and it looks great.

I like the thick decorative front and back covers with corner protection, and the strong double ring binding the pages. Each month starts with a month to a view, followed by a week to a view. The months are tabbed to make it easier to find the month you need. At the front is a table giving the US public holidays, which also appear on the relevant days in the diary. At the rear is a pocket which is a little flimsy and an elastic closure.This is a sensibly sized robust diary, with a clear and accessible layout. It is a shame that the US public holidays appear, as this will be of little interest to most people in the UK.

There is really nothing much to dislike about this diary ... it's well made, lie-flat and contains all the necessary basics for a weekly planner diary: month planners, year planners, tabbed pages, a moveable placemarker, a pocket at the back for loose papers, reinforced corners and a good selection of designs to choose from. The paper is good quality and take all the pens I've tried on it well (including fountain pens).If I have a slight quibble with it, it's that the elastic closure is a bit tight and I fully expect it to over-stretch quite quickly - but it's not a bad enough fault to deduct a star for.

Academic Diary 2025 is thoughtfully designed with a simple yet elegant colour palette on the cover that is suitable for academic occasions but also makes a statement of personal taste. The inside pages are well laid out, with enough space for recording daily progress of study and research, as well as a dedicated area for summarising reflections and planning for the future. In addition, the diary is equipped with an index page and a monthly planning page, making it easy for users to find and plan quickly.In terms of materials, Academic Diary 2025 uses high quality paper and cover materials. The paper is thick, smooth and resistant to ink bleed, ensuring clear and long-lasting records. The cover material is wear-resistant and non-slip, so it maintains a good look and feel even after prolonged use. Overall, the texture of this diary is excellent, making it a pleasure to use.The Academic Diary 2025 excels in terms of functionality and practicality. Not only does it offer a wealth of recording space, it also incorporates a variety of practical functional elements. For example, the diary is equipped with a time management form to help users better plan their daily study and research time; it is also equipped with an Inspiration Notes page to encourage users to record their thoughts and ideas at any time. These functional elements not only enhance the practicality of the diary, but also stimulate users' creativity and self-improvement.

I like the cover, I like the layout and overall design, but as others have pointed out, I didn’t like the U.S holidays being listed rather than U.K. Doesn’t affect my use of the diary, but may for some.

Pretty cover design, and if you're buying this for someone in the USA, it would be a potentially useful gift.However, the holidays page is not relevant to the UK, where we do not have Labor Day, Independence Day, Presidents Day, Veterans Day etc.Nor is November 4th Election Day in the UK.UK holidays / celebration days are not listed, which makes it pointless in my opinion.
