The XL size provides generous writing space without being cumbersome, fitting comfortably in most bags. The acid-free paper is a pleasure to write on, compatible with various pens and pencils, minimizing feathering and bleed-through. The elastic closure ensures that loose notes, tickets, or receipts tucked inside remain secure, and the ribbon bookmark allows you to instantly flip to the current week.

The ideas and goals pages are perfect for brainstorming long-term objectives or personal aspirations, providing a centralized place for strategic thinking. The included stickers offer a fun and functional way to categorize entries, mark important events, or add a personal touch to your planning system.

Your Moleskine 2026 12 Month Weekly XL Softcover Diary is ready for immediate use. Simply open it to the current date or the first page of January 2026 and begin planning. No assembly or special configuration is required.
This diary is compatible with most standard writing instruments, including ballpoint pens, rollerball pens, gel pens, and pencils. For fountain pen users, test your ink on an inconspicuous page or the very back of the diary to ensure no bleed-through or excessive feathering, though the 70gsm ivory paper generally performs well.
Protect the Cover: While the softcover is durable, avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could scratch or tear the material. Keep it away from liquids to prevent stains or damage to the paper.
Mind the Elastic Closure: Ensure the elastic band is used gently to prolong its lifespan. Avoid overstuffing the diary with too many loose items, which could stretch the band or damage the spine.
Storage: Store your diary in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can cause the paper to yellow or the cover material to degrade over time.
Cleaning: If the cover becomes dusty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For minor smudges, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
