Start 2021 on the right foot

Maintaining the discipline of using a daily dairy, journal or planner isn't always easy, but keeping organised is so much easier with the right tools. Of all the 2021 diaries and planners we've come across, the MiGoals Goal Digger Planner is one of the best. A vision in pink pu leather and gold debossed lettering, it's functionality more than lives up to its stunning looks. Here we'll take a look behind the cover at what makes this diary so special.

Love at first sight

The Goal Digger Planner is B5 in size - larger and more substantial than A5 but still portable and small enough to slip in a large bag. This, coupled with its sizable 304 pages, makes it both substantial and good value. It's an eco-friendly notebook too, made from sustainably sourced paper and vegan-friendly pu leather. The planner comes in a sturdy cardboard box, making it a good gift option and giving you a safe place to store it.

The gold debossed lettering in the soft pink cover is complemented by gold edging to the pages all around the notebook. Two divider ribbons are on hand too, giving you one to log your place in the year and another for your key goals or notes.

Life coach

From the first few pages, the Goal Digger Planner reveals itself to be more than a simple diary. It offers you the services of a personal life coach, encouraging you to outline your core values, purpose in life and what motivates you to succeed. You can plan out where you want to be through each stage of the next through years and even develop a vision board to help you achieve it.

Goal setting

As MiGoals explains in these pages, people with written goals are 42% more likely to achieve them than people without written goals. Setting pen to paper is the first step preparing you for success.

Within the Goal Digger Planner, you'll find useful insights into not just the power of goal setting but how to set personal SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely) goals about the things that really matter to you. This is so much more than simply setting New Year's resolutions, the Planner forces you to think analytically about your goals. What do you really want to achieve? What obstacles are standing in your way? What feeling are you chasing?

Plan to succeed

The planner section is similarly detailed, giving you the tools you need to plan out the goals for each month. As well as a month-to-a-page overview, there are week-to-a-page spreads with to do lists, weekly goals, gratitude lists, habit trackers and more.

If the stress of 2020 has taught us anything it's the importance of putting coping mechanisms in place to help stay balanced and feeling in control. The mindful elements of the Goal Digger Planner give you that extra support to stay on track and integrate mindful moments and gratitude journaling into your daily routine.

There's still more on offer here in the Goal Digger Planner, including budgeting pages to help you work towards savings goals and an ample selection of plain and lined notes pages for you to use however you need.

Invest in yourself

The Goal Digger Planner is much more than a diary and is worth considering for anyone who takes planning and goal setting seriously. It will only pay dividends if you invest the time in its planning and goal-setting sections but with a notebook this beautiful, you'll want to keep it to hand every hour of the day.

The MiGoals Goal Digger Planner is one of the diaries in the MiGoals range available now at Pen Pusher.
