The holiday season has started, and for us coffee lovers – it’s also the planner/journal season! For most of us, we already have our eyes on which planner we are getting to use for the coming year and we have been on a caffeine spree for the past weeks to fast track our ownership of these planners.
This year, I am using both CBTL’s The Giving Journal and The Starbucks Planner. The Giving Journal is my “Daily Planner” where I plot my everyday schedule and the Starbucks Planner is my “Budget Journal” where I jot down my daily expenses before I retire to bed. I have both 2016 planners from CBTL and Starbucks already, and planning of utilizing them both the same way next year. I also got the Bo’s Coffee Start: A creativity Journal last Saturday which am really excited to use, for the journal tackled two creative activities I am really interested in – typography and phoneography. And yes, am using all three next year. 🙂
But for some who are still figuring out which planner/journal to get, here’s a comparison of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s The Giving Journal 2016, Starbucks by Moleskin 2016 Planner (Regular Size) and Bo’s Coffee Start: A Creativity Journal 2016. 🙂

The Giving Journal is 0.25inch taller than Bo’s Coffee Start:A Creativity Journal 2016 and Starbucks by Moleskin 2016 Planner
Both Bo’s Coffee and CBTL’s sheets are thick, while Starbuck’s sheets are thinner. So be sure not to use those sign pens which blot when you plan to use the Starbucks Planner.

So which planner are you going to use in 2016?
