The best way to stay ahead.
Though it’s still early days, 2026 has already been marked by a number of cultural moments. It will, for example, forever be the year that Brooklyn Beckham took to his Instagram stories to practically disowned his parents, Timothee Chalamet’s Marty Supreme press tour and Hilary Duff’s long-awaited return to music.
On a slightly more high-brow note, it also appears to be the year that we’re all going analogue. It’s partially a response to the terrifying rise of AI, Instagram’s unpredictable algorithms and friction-maxxing (the idea that we need to make things harder for ourselves).

Of course, we’re happy to have you here, reading this. But if one of your goals for the New Year is to reduce your time online, we’d suggest ditching your Apple calendar, and grabbing a good old fashioned pen and paper. Whether you’re partial to an A3 calendar or a planner with a spread dedicated to each day, rest assured, there are plenty of options to suit your organisational, analogue needs.
