It’s not long to go now, folks, until the new year is well and truly upon us. We don’t mean to alarm you, but there’s no slowing the steaming train of 2026! Instead of freaking out (OK, a tad of freaking out is fine), this last month and a bit of 2025 is the perfect time to start getting your ducks in a row for the new year. We’ve got a whole lot of nifty tips and tricks to help you get organised for the forthcoming year, as well as a diary and calendar to get you amped up for a rad 2026.MUCH TO-DO ABOUT NOTHING You know what’s awesome? To-do lists. Whether they’re being used to shop for your groceries or to work your way toward your dream career, nothing is quite so scary once it’s broken down into half a dozen simple steps. Our dreamy 2026 diary comes with a whole bunch of lined pages for you to scribble down all the bits and bobs you need to remember. Plus, each weekly spread also comes with a space for notes, so you can break your goals or chores down into easy weekly missions.CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF Sometimes life is a lot. In periods of crazy schedules and chaotic relationships and who knows what else, checking in with how you’re feeling – like, really feeling – can easily fall to the end of the aforementioned to-do list. Making use of a daily mood tracker is a super-simple way to get in touch with how you’re chugging along, and what you can do – or stop doing – to help you feel the warm and fuzzies. You’ll find a nifty mood tracker in our 2026 diary to get you started, along with a bunch of fun monthly journal prompts.A BUDGET IS YOUR BESTIE Ignorance is bliss, so they say, but knowledge is power.

This nifty little tool will help you stay on top of your finances, giving you an idea of what you’re really splashing your precious dosh on.TAKE A MOMENT TO REFLECT You don’t need us to remind you, but the year goes by fast.

The 2026 diary’s year in review section is the prettiest space to jot down all your favourite bits from throughout the year, whether it be in words, doodles or snaps.
