Almost every person on this planet has gone gaga over the 2012 planners of Starbucks, Moonleaf and other famous coffee/milktea shops. Even the notoriously expensive Moleskin planners are selling like hotcakes in leading bookstores.
Planners never worked for me. It always irks me whenever I receive a planner every Christmas. I was in high school back then when I started receiving it. Once, I was given a planner as a gift on my birthday (take note that I celebrate my birthday every AUGUST). Ugh, the horror!
But don't get me wrong. I am not a burara type of person. In fact, I organize my things, place them on the right spot. In short, I'm an OC-type of person. I really hate it whenever things don't go according to my plans. But it's just, there are times that I become spontaneous, therefore ruining the purpose of having a planner. Whenever a friend invites me to go shopping/traveling/food trippin', I'd reply YES, SURE in an instant, as long as the budget permits.
I have nothing against to people who write and update their planners. Others even put an extra effort by having some decent artwork on it. I actually admire them for being so creative and hardworking.
You see, I have blank planners way back in 2007... worse, it comes with different styles! Those were never touched. Still a virgin.
I still lack motivation and drive to do creative stuff on a planner. I admit that I'm still lazy on writing my future schedules and events on a planner. I just write it on a piece paper and post it on my wall. Simple as that.
It doesn't necessarily mean that I don't have concrete plans in my life. I actually have.
But it's just I'm too lazy to write something on a planner.
Yes, I'm THAT lazy.

Hi, RM! How are you? It's my first time in here... nice blog! :D
ReplyDeleteWell, I've been collecting Starbucks planners annually (Starbucks fan here), and eventually I've been writing and planning to-dos and stuff along the way. This year was no different... and actually, I wrote something related to planners on one of my recent blog posts. :D
