It’s the new year and once again it’s time to make new resolutions and goals. I’m actually not the type who makes new year’s resolutions. Not because I don’t believe in those, it’s just that for some reason, I can’t seem to stick to the resolutions I’ve identified. I’m more of the goal settings and bucket list identification gal.
It’s for this reason that planners work well for me. Planners allows me to visualize my goals for the year, plan for my day or week or month, as well as stay organized (as I’m scatterbrained sometimes, on top of being fickle minded š ). I like my planners simple and straightforward, which is why I’ve never got into Journalling (as it’s a current trend these days). I think it’s my 3rd year of having 3 separate planners – one is for personal purposes, another is for work, and third is for the side-business (my small baking business) or any other uncategorized stuff like errands that are not directly related to me.
Typically, for my personal planner, belle de jour power planner has always been my choice. I love the simplicity apart from the coupons included in the planner. I also like the monthly write ups and the inspirational quotes they’ve placed per week. These planners comes with a dream board wherein I can put pictures or lists that I dream of achieving for the year. In most recent versions, it comes with a check list of things that you can do; kind of like a bucket list but more of a generic female things to do. Sweet, right?!
For work, I usually go for CBTL planners. It’s so easier to complete, as they only require 12 stamps compared with Starbucks’. I like the paper used in these planners as well since it doesn’t blot easily, as I’m fond of using ink or gel pens rather than regular ballpens.
Lastly, for my 3rd planner, I’ve opted to have the Starbucks’ travel planner for this year. It’s super handy (small and not bulky) and don’t have the typical dates or weeks we get in regular planners. It’s just like having a notebook that you can carry everyday with you in your bag.
Now, I’m all set for the year! Having 3 separate planners might be costly and inefficient, but if it makes me be inspired, stay organized and be on track in achieving my goals for the year, then I’m happy and content. š
This is not a promotion on the planners, these are just my personal choices. You have to look for that planner that would suit you best.
Happy New Year! Good luck to us, whether it be achieving goals or resolutions!
