A minimalist daydream, Midori’s 2026 MD Notebook Daily Diary A5 gives you the barest essentials so that you can use your diary however you like.

Each page gives you a loose structure as guidance, to be filled in as you see fit – from the day and date to the schedule, the MD Daily Diary lets you take the lead. Between more familiar monthly views that give you room for long-term planning, the daily pages keep things open-ended, so you can use the subtle dot-points for a to-do list, or not; you can lay out your day down to the hour, or you could use that same space for a grocery list, or a quick poem, or anything else you like. There’s even a blank space left on each page to be used in any way you can imagine.
