The Iconic Dear Diary A5 Planner – Organisation for Every Part of Your Life

Welcome to the heart of the Dear Diary collection—the A5 Everything Planner 2026 (English). If you’re a woman who wants to feel in control of her life, to organise all the chaos into order, and to make space for dreams, wellness, and reflection, this is your perfect planning companion. Designed to handle absolutely everything, the Everything Planner has become a beloved essential for women across South Africa and beyond.

Packed with a remarkable 581 pages, the A5 Everything Planner is your ticket to holistic, mindful living. Its compact, travel-friendly format makes it easy to slip into a handbag or backpack, while its clever layouts ensure you never run out of space for notes, goals, and inspiration.

Why the A5 Everything Planner Stands Out

Unlike generic diaries or basic planners, the A5 Everything Planner 2026 is the result of years of feedback, love, and real-world testing. It’s been refined by busy women – including founder Karin Meyer—who juggle family, career, creativity, wellness, and self-care. This isn’t just a to-do list on paper; it’s a roadmap for living fully and intentionally.

The A5 size (21.5 x 15.5 x 4 cm, approx. 900g) strikes the ideal balance between portability and space. Whether you’re planning a business meeting in a café, mapping out school runs, or journaling in your favourite chair at home, the A5 Everything Planner keeps up with you – without taking over your desk or weighing down your bag.
