Make The Starbucks Planner My Own, Cymplified!

January 12, 2017 by ceemee

How is your January coming along? I was excited to use my new planner when the clock struck 12 on the 1st of January. By this time, I have an idea of how to make the Starbucks planner my own.

 

A photo posted by Cym M (@ceemee) on Dec 31, 2016 at 8:29am PST

After using the Mommy Blogberry, the Momme and the Mommy Mundo Mom 24/7 planners (in no particular order), for sure the Starbucks planner is not super detailed. Yet, since 2015, I went back to using it for some reason. Therefore, I have learned to customize it to suit my lifestyle.

personalize it

I use the year view as a menstrual tracker by encircling the date.Make The Starbucks Planner My Own menstrual tracker

 

The boxes in the monthly view is where I write down our daily expenses, including utility bills that I paid and credit cards. In the 2017 edition, there’s a place to list things to do. That’s where I jot the goals for the month. Also, this latest one has smaller boxes. In the previous version, there’s just a blank box at the rightmost; thus, that’s where I write the weekly total of expenses.Make The Starbucks Planner My Own expense tracker

 

I write what I need to do each day on the weekly view page. I note the events we need to attend. That is also where I write what the children need to bring to school, their exam schedules, etc. Forgive the messy handwriting. Then, when done, I highlight them!Make The Starbucks Planner My Own schedules and tasks

 

I am no planner decorator. The most designing I make is by using my multi-colored metallic pens and using my old washi tapes for sticking movie tickets or museum tickets on my planner/sort-of memory-keeper.

I write random ideas or doodle on the notes part of the weekly view in the previous planners. This year, I started reading The One Year Love Language Minute Devotional by Gary Chapman. A Christmas gift. I decided to write each day’s Bible verse on the notes part. As a result, ideas and doodles go to the back part. make the starbucks planner my own Bible verses

 

insert joyful days

Not included is a meal planner. I guess this prototype of the calendar I did could be for that. It could be for anything, actually. It’s part of the Joyful Days planner inserts that I made with watercolor, edited then printed. joyful days january calendar

 

If you want to get hold of these planner inserts, kindly message me. Just click on the bottom left of this site. A smaller size is for sale. 🙂

This is the first page. You can cut it, write a salutation plus “Wishing you…”, then sign with your name.make the starbucks planner my own add inserts

By using these inserts, I wish to:

  • Inject positivity
  • Hone gratefulness
  • Set goals and actions
  • Revive connections
  • Personalize and share cards
  • Plan a party
  • List down gifts
  • Most of all, show love and appreciation

Do you want to insert joyful days into your planner and your life? 🙂

    I started bullet journaling last december 2016 kaya yung planner ko this year is Victoria’s Journal na plain pages so I can personalize it. But I do have Starbucks planner as well. I am planning to use it once my VJ planner runs out of pages. Ang ganda ng SB planner this year!

    • ceemee says

      January 25, 2017 at 18:46

      It’s true that the SB planners this year are so pretty. I bought SB planner last year because it’s Moleskine, but the pages were so thin.

    I am also using the Starbucks Planner this year and like you, I also write the things I have to do and reminders there.

    That’s very creative. I like what you did with the inserts. I did not buy planners for this year because I still have notebooks or blank diaries from last year. I’m trying to do the planning bujo style on those diaries. I got some ideas from what you did here. I’ll include them on mine. 🙂

    • ceemee says

      January 24, 2017 at 12:34

      Thanks! Yep, notebooks are great for BuJo, or so I read in an article. There’s even more space for you to get creative!

    Seeing more and more moms making beautiful journals. I envy your artful works and how I wish I can keep these organizers. For now, contented nako sa desktop planner and my never ending scratch pads, and looker nalang sa inyong magagandang planners.

    • ceemee says

      January 23, 2017 at 19:58

      Hehe! You can compile the scratch pads in a notebook, parang scrapbook ang effect. 🙂 Thanks, Lanie!

    Wow, pretty! I’m keeping a journal now but using it more as a scrapbook of memories. Hehe. I’m not a planner kind of person.

    Hay, if only I am creative. LOL. I rely on planner stickers to prettify my planner :))

      That’s one way of designing it!

      January 23, 2017 at 16:20

      Thanks! Well, I don’t think mine is bullet journaling. But, BuJo looks interesting!

    Those Joyful Days inserts are a nice add-ons to your 2017 planner! I bought my planner before Christmas, and until now I haven’t had the time to jot down anything on it. So busy! Sigh!

    • ceemee says

      January 23, 2017 at 16:09

      Thank you! I think the planner could help us organize our busyness. We need to allot time for writing and planning, though.

    I have planners in my drawers, I still don’t use it until now. I really hope that I can be creative like you.

    • ceemee says

      January 23, 2017 at 16:18

      We don’t need to wait to be creative to use our planners. I just went ahead, even with the messy handwriting and mistakes that I need to use correction fluid on.

    January 23, 2017 at 01:24

    I’ve never thought of personalizing my planners that way. Usually, my planners end up as additional weight in my bag since I keep forgetting to use it. I got used to using my phone’s calendar and alarm to work for me for the past few years. This year though, I have 2 planners and I plan to use them properly. Not as artistic as you though. Maybe next year I could try that.

    • ceemee says

      January 23, 2017 at 16:04

      Too bad planners don’t have alarms! Hehe!

      What’s important is that the way you use your planner works for you. 🙂

    January 22, 2017 at 13:43

    Your inserts are really cool! The reason why I stick to ring planners is that it’s very easy to personalise them. My monthly and weekly inserts are printed but some I made by hand. I wish I had your watercolour skills!

    Got a starbucks planner too and I also personalize it. Ihihi. Not that colorful like yours as I often say to myself I do not have much time. But when I saw your planner, it gives me the extra push to give more effort into decorating my planner. Thanks for the share.

    As much as i wanted to insert joyful days into my planner but i am not a planner person hahaha. I only ise old notebooks and scratch papers when planning hahaha. Im lazy writing literally. But yes, i wanted to always insert joyful days into my life 🙂

    • ceemee says

      January 22, 2017 at 14:15

      Haha! I feel you. I really need to be conscious about setting aside a few minutes to read the devotional and write in my planner.

    I tried collecting stickers to get an SB planner last December but then I realized, it’s not practical so I gave my 6 stickers to my friend. I’m not really into decorating it as long I’m able to use it. I still prefer the hard copy over the digital ones. 😉 By the way, I like your inserts.

    • ceemee says

      January 22, 2017 at 14:03

    I have 3 planners this year and one of them is the small Starbucks Siren I got just last week. Unlike the previous years though, I chose to use my SB planner now as a gratitude journal. 🙂

    Last year, I tried BuJoing. Too bad, I was not good at keeping it. Di ako naging consistent. Pero this year, I started writing my devotion on a simple notebook. Hopefully matuloy tuloy ko until end of year. Thanks for sharing and btw, ang ganda ng insert mo 🙂

    • ceemee says
