What type of diary should I buy?
There are three main types of diary. A traditional diary is a place to keep a regular update of events in your life. A planner is used to organise events and work to do. And a journal is a place you store a collection of ideas, thoughts and memories, but unlike a diary isn't tied to a time or period. 

What size diary should I get?
Diaries come in a lot of different sizes and names for those sizes. If you're looking for a smaller diary, you will want a Slimline, Pocket, or A6 Diary. A medium diary will be around A5 in size, and a large one will be an A4 diary.
