They say people with planners are well-organized. Well for my case, it's because I'm an I-always-tend-to-forget-things type.
Since my school days, I always feel the need to list down things that I need to do, else, they'll be forgotten. I'm also the type who likes to note some memorable stuff, particularly the good ones. Add to that, I really like jotting down anything; may it be future plans, expenses, some quotes that I just heard of, or maybe thoughts of the day. Well, I started with just writing on a memo pad or a tickler, a notebook, then a cheap mini planner (since I was still a student). But now that I am earning, I want a PLANNER.
I used to have our company's planner that I got for free. It wasn't bad after all. Then last year (2011), I got the "The 'Relax, Puso Lang Yan, Malayo sa Bituka' Planner 2011" from Witty Will Save The World. I just saw this in Facebook and bought it online for 350Php. This is the planner where I got the idea that planners can be fun! I really enjoyed this planner as it has it's own character; far from the usual date, month, notes, calendar type of planner. But mind you, this is for the "jologs" like me!
This year, 2012, I am again in search for a good and fun planner. I also wanted it to suit my personality, and something that I would really like since I'll be using it everyday for a whole year! My options were drilled down to the "Doodle Planner" from Filed and the "Slate 2012 Planner" from Planet Slate before I headed to Fully Booked to see the actual planners. They are equally good planners, almost the same price (~550Php), and have their own plus factors. Several times I tend to pick one over the other, then vice versa, then I keep browsing the pages and comparing. In the end, I decided to have the "Slate 2012 Planner".
