About Quo Vadis

About Quo Vadis

The unique Quo Vadis Agenda Planning® diary format was invented by a French doctor, F.G. Beltrami in 1954. Dr. Beltrami found appointment books with their cramped, impractical format did not serve the needs of professionals. So he created his own system that is simple, practical and easy to use featuring the day's priority, special headings for activities, daily notes, and a perforated corner to open to the week in progress. It allows you to organize your week precisely, and write notes without cluttering the appointment schedule - all at a single glance.

For the last 50 years, Quo Vadis has earned a worldwide reputation for "Agenda Planning Diaries®" combining quality materials, durability and innovative design. You can schedule your appointments, priorities and plan your weeks activities simply, effectively. Agenda Planning diaries® are stitched and bound; you can therefore open your Quo Vadis planner without damaging the spine. Choose from a variety of models and layout styles: desk diary, pocket size and academic year. No matter what model you choose, all have numerous planning features that are easy to read and easy to use.

Quo Vadis History

1952 Invention of the Agenda Planning®

In 1952, a French doctor, F.G. Beltrami, invented the "one week on two pages" planner format. Up until that time, appointment books were simply "day per page" diaries . Dr. Beltrami, feeling cramped and unable to plan ahead his week, month or year, took a sheet of paper and created his own personal management system. He made his first diary by stamping a grid on the white pages of a notebook. This modern diary is a combination of a calendar and a journal
