Office Diary

The very first step to writing an effective office diary is to find the right type of diary for your business. Important considerations while buying an office diary are the layout of the diary, the size of the diary, the style of the work diary, and finally, the price.

The most common size for an ordinary office diary is A5, which is exactly half the size of an A4. A5 size diaries are compact enough to fit any purse, laptop bag, briefcase or even a sling bag, while at the same time being large enough to accommodate all your work plans, analyses, and lists of appointments. However, certain business requirements do call for much larger-sized office diaries like A3 diaries which are primarily used for making charts, elaborate plans, posters, as well as presentations.

An office diary, also known as a work diary or business diary, is one of the most important organizational tools for your office or business. It is a simple paper diary, usually hardbound, that can go a long way in elevating your organizational skills and productivity. It helps you to formulate strategies for your business or team, set overall goals, and segregate goals into several smaller milestones, as well as to analyze the daily performance statistics of your team or business. Moreover, a well-maintained work diary can also aid in suggesting steps for improvement in key performance areas. Work diary entries can be broadly classified into two main types: planning (forward-looking) and analysis (reflective).

An office diary is an inexpensive piece of office stationery. Any decent hard-bound work diary with a PU cover can be acquired for no more than a couple of hundred rupees. However, if you are a discerning customer with a penchant for classy stationery that can help you make a statement in the office, you might need to shell out upwards of a thousand rupees for a personalized leather diary.
