10 diaries and calendars to plan your new start, day by day

The 2021 starts with the confirmation that the world of work is rapidly evolving towards new organisational models in terms of time and space, due to a state of emergency that has not yet passed. Large companies, as well as the more forward-thinking small ones, have well understood that a crisis, such as the current one, brings with it changes but also great opportunities. It is no coincidence that the word 'crisis' comes from the Greek verb κρίνω (krino), meaning to separate, update, change.

Today, smartworking is an established phenomenon that the individual worker must manage without being overwhelmed. While working from home gives us the feeling of having much more time to carry out our personal tasks, it also risks distracting us by spending 'too much' (more than we should) on work and losing focus on our personal well-being.

This is why it is useful to have physical and not only digital tools at hand to help us organise our time, on a daily but also weekly, monthly or even yearly basis, for a medium to long term outlook, identifying objectives, priorities and a to-do list, both work-related and personal.

Here are 10 calendars, planners and diaries that we would like to recommend for a year of organisation, functionality and mental well-being.
