Every time I’m about to ring in the new year, I like to plan on how I want the next 365 days of my life to be. When I was a kid, I used to do so by creating New Year’s Resolutions like so many other people. But for some time now, I’ve been doing so by writing down my plans on paper so a planner always comes in handy for me!
Aside from that however, I also like to jot random things on my planner – from friends’ birthdays/special occasions to work meetings, to blog post ideas to expenses I’ve incurred and things I have to buy – an idea I’ve adopted from my Dad. I know, I’m so old school! A lot of peeps nowadays rely on their smartphones for that but whatever. I like my system.
Anyhow, I’ve finally decided on the planners – yes, multiple (actually just 2) – I’m going to use for 2017! And because I also like having coffee at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf with Ryan a lot, I’ve been able to complete stamps from them already resulting in multiple planners!
I actually like CBTL’s The Giving Journal. For one thing, they come in colorful versions.
It’s also got inspirational notes with really nice illustrations inside which really lives up to their Brew Your Best Year brand messaging.
It’s also got a good enough space to write down things everyday whether they’re goals, meetings or just random things.
And of course, for the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf lovers, some coupons you can use when you visit!
Plus with The Giving Journal you’re also supporting CBTL’s advocacy. It’s not called The Giving Journal for nothing! Every cup purchased and every Giving Journal redeemed helps enable the dream of Real Life scholars to take flight. Read more about that here.
Don’t you just love this time of the year? You’ve got a delicious coffee to drink while you chat with friends, do some work or just while the time away perhaps accompanied by a good book to read or a laptop for your TV or movie marathons (CBTL offers free WiFi for Swirl card holders) and at the same time, you get to have a very nice planner while being able to help someone too! I know I do.
Want to make this 2017 your best year ever? This planner can be the perfect companion! And on that note, because Christmas is the time for giving, I’m giving 2 people The 2017 Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Giving Journal!
The mechanics are simple – it’s follow, tweet and comment! And by New Year’s Day 2017, I’m picking out the 2 winners! Oh and this contest is open to Philippine residents only.

I intend to live 2017 as if it would be my last year on earth. Meaning? I would live life to the fullest. Say I love you,sorry and thank you to the people I cherish. Put my best foot forward with everything I do at work and in my personal life. Lastly, would always pray for God, our Almighty Savior. đ -@redredanderson

I will boost my 2017 by having my vacation in provinces in Visayas and Mindanao. Having been busy this year, it is time to really destress and recuperate to be more focused and motivated for the rest of the year.

I'm aiming to give my best effort this 2017 by PLANNING and considering the important steps, topics and niche to focus on and by scheduling them properly so I won't get stressed or overwhelmed. A planner from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf would definitely help me a lot in terms of planning and scheduling so I could meet my goals for 2017. Thanks for sharing đ

This 2017, I'm planning on finding my first job since I just recently graduated from college and then get to stop my procrastination attitude. I want to start the year right by planning things ahead of time and be more hardworking.

In the year 2017, which is next year. I will spend more time with family, close friends and relatives. The next thing is to study really hard so that I can graduate next year and study for the LET (Licensure Examination for Teachers) , find a good job. Last thing I should do is to make lessons for my student. I wish 2017 I can change myself into a stronger and believing myself that I can do anything that comes my way.

I plan to give my best effort this 2017 and have coffee break times at CBTL to unwind while waiting for movie date to start. I'd like to make it more balanced this coming 2017 in terms of work and enjoyment/relaxation to avoid being overly stressed.

2017 is the year of changing oneself into someone that can do better and it also bringing hope to each person. This 2017, I will study really hard so that I can graduate in that year (2017), spend more time with family, close friends and relatives. I also need to study for the LET exam (Licensure Examination for Teachers), and hope I can find a good job. I hope this 2017 will bring me lots of unexpected surprises and blessings, and also believing myself that I can do anything that comes to my way. With this planner, I can schedule to meet with my friends, also make schedules to travel to other places in Philippines. Thank you for sharing this and generosity to lots of people.
