What are you most looking forward to ‘meeting’ in 2022?

I’m really looking forward to 2022. To reset, both personally and professionally after a wild end to 2021. I’m looking forward to seeing what new projects my partner, Hugo, will embark on, and settling into our new home, and I’m excited to see what is next for Lotte Design.

Reflecting back on 2021, what is something you have learnt that you will take through to 2022?

Looking back on the year, I’ve learnt how resilient I am.

What is one personal, professional or financial goal you will be tracking in your 2022 diary?

A goal for 2022 is to create a better work - life balance.

How many years have you been using an An Organised Life Diary?

I love hand-writing lists and reminders. I have been a fan for a good few years now, I appreciate the functional and beautiful design.

What 2022 diary did you pick & why did you choose that style?

I chose the 2022 A4 Beige Daily Planner with gold monogramming – I love being able to see my entire day on one page.

Talk us through that feeling when you first unboxed your new AOL 2022 Diary? What did you notice?

I’m obsessed with opening something new. From the box, to the paper, to the hand-written note, it always feels immaculate but personal. And I loved seeing the new beige colourway in person.

What is your favourite feature in your 2022 diary & how will it help you stay organised?

My favourite feature would be the space for entering a weekly goal or focus on a Monday. Being prompted to set an intention for the week is something I really appreciate.

What are the top 3 ways you organise your life?

Writing lists, setting priorities for the week and working out.

What are 3 things in your wellbeing toolkit?

Daily walks with our dog, talking with friends all day every day and gardening.

What are your current desk essentials?

My Earpods
Pantone swatch book
A large water bottle
And of course my AOL planner!

Top WFH organisation hack?

Reading emails as they come in
Writing jobs down in my planner and actioning them one at a time
Trying to remember that there is always tomorrow
