Busy B Dual Schedule Day A Page Diary January to December 2021 - A5 Cream and Gold Planner with Space for Two schedules, Lined Pages, Notes and Year Planner

I always have trouble finding the diary for the new year. Usually I am disappointed with what I’ve bought but this one is the best I’ve ever had. I just hope I can buy next years just like this one. Fingers crossed

This is a great daily planner and exactly as described. What I like most are the dual pages, which is use for home and work. And Saturday & Sunday also have a full day each, not the two days on one page like a lot of planners. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for an organisation planner that lets you have work life and home life plans in one convenient place!

Wow! Beautiful impressive Diary. Ideal for writing down times to take medication. Two columns and space for writing above and below. Perfect for my needs. I Buy Busy Bees diary every year, due to quality and presentation 10/10.

It’s exactly what I needed.

Disappointed, received the first one it had black marks on it, the second one was the same.

This is a nice, dual day-to-a-page diary. The cover is pretty, soft and feels like leather. I think it is durable and would last a year. Also, the covers are firm so they should not bend out of shape too quickly.It is definitely a feminine diary with calming colours. I do think the covers will fade and pick up dirt over time, so maybe it is not the most sensible of colours to last the year long.The diary has elastic to keep the book closed with an elastic pen holder too. This is perfect for being on the go and storing it in your bag.It is a practical diary that seems to have thought of everything. It opens with a double page spread for personal details and useful information. Personally, I would not use a lot of these fields – like passport number and expiry date; bank information; blood group etc. However, I think this shows how the diary is intended for a broad demographic.Also included is a 2021-2022 year calendar. It is spread over two pages to give you more space. There is a year planner for 2021 as well.The diary begins on Monday 28th December. Each day-to-a-page is divided into two columns. I think this is an interesting way of organising a diary and not something I have considered before. It is intended for two schedules ie: home and work, his and hers, or even personal and family. In other words, you will find yourself being pretty organised with this resource!The bottom corners of each double spread has the current month/next month calendar. The current two days that you are using are highlighted to show where you are in the month. There is also space at the bottom of the page for notes, marked ‘Top Priorities’.Week numbers, bank holiday and commemorative days are marked on the pages for reference.At the end of the diary is your planner for 2022. There is also a section for birthdays, also spread out over two pages to give you plenty of room if you know a lot of people! However, if you know several people who share a birthday, you might find there is not enough space. Finally, there are several notes pages at the end which is always a helpful feature.This diary feels well made. The paper is not the thickest but it feels smooth to the touch and is pleasant to write on. The ribbon marker is essential for all diaries and it feels feminine and pretty. It would make a good gift and a great way to stay organised for next year. Good value for money.

The diary is beautiful and looks better than I thought it would. The colour of the cover gives a calming sense and the leather feel gives a tactile element to it. It looks like a quality diary as well. The paper on the other hand is thinner than I'd like it to be and the next page can be seen through it. When requesting this product, I saw that I could divide my day into two sections and use my own headings e.g. it could be used as a him and hers. What I hadn't noticed was that at the bottom of each page there were bullet points for my top priorities for that day. This is great as it gives me a focus and also means I can treat this a bit like a journal as well.Some diaries put Saturday and Sunday onto one page even it it's a page per day diary. I'm pleased to say this one doesn't and the weekend days have a whole page each. Handily, the bank holidays are included as well as other notable holidays. There's also a section for birthdays at the back too. The extra features that sometimes come with diaries such as important phone numbers, conversion charts, moon cycles etc. are limited to birthdays and next years calendar. Therefore if you make good use of the added extras, you won't find them in this one. On the side, there's a pen holder which does a good job of holding a pen securely, however I did find it fiddly to get my pen into it and if your anything like my mum and like to keep hundreds of bits of paper for appointments etc. inside, then you'll probably find quite a few of them dropping out during the process.

I’ve used Busy B planners quite a lot in the past, and this is a really good one. It’s the first I’ve had that is a day per page; there’s a good amount of space to write on each page, and it’s handy how each page is divided into two columns so you can have different types of jobs/appointment lists on each side of the page (eg work and home).The only small downside is the very pale plain cover, which I imagine will start to look fairly grubby after not much use. Putting this to one side, I’m really pleased with the planner.
