Random question... In an age of mobile apps, does anyone use paper diaries? Apart from jotting down appointments on dates, are they of any other use? I mean do people actually care the measurements or public holiday dates in those extra pages? Or use it to make notes?

No, but I do miss 'the old ways' of doing things if that makes sense. It's a different world now.

Yup, I do. Even though some of my younger colleagues have shown me how to use apps I much prefer a book to help me. I work shifts and it’s much easier for me to plan my life if I can see it in front of me. The pain is my work week starts on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday and just about every diary in the worlds week starts on a Monday, so between now and January I’m on the lookout for next years.

I couldn't do without my big "page to a day" desk diary which I use to make notes during telephone conversations

My dear wife still a avails of a diary and our daughter buys her one each Christmas. I haven't used a diary for many a year.

Someone mentioned about buying milk from the supermarket. I recall the days of the jolly old milkman and those bottles with red/silver tops etc etc. I hear milkmen on floats still exist but I haven't seen one for many a year.

I use an online diary for work and a paper diary as back up for the inevitable IT issues, I also use a personal paper diary that lives in a drawer at home as I plan things in advance and have a habit of losing or breaking mobiles.

Diaries are a bit like calendars in the modern day.

Their days are numbered.

A page a day A5 hardback.
Comes in useful to have on the desk to plan availability for work, and also take out to jobs to make field notes.
Always use a biro to write with, just in case it's raining

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

I do for work. I like to physically turn the pages from week to week and write things down.

Similarly I like to hold and turn the pages of an actual book as opposed to an ebook reader . Hate them

I use mine to keep lists of those to be rounded up after the military coup.
