A 2009 Planner that Kicks the Starbucks Planner’s Ass

December 2nd, 2008 with 1,382 views

It’s the time of year when people flock to the nearest Starbucks to spend hundreds, maybe thousands of pesos on cups and cups coffee. All because they want to accumulate stickers for yet another Starbucks planner. The planner promo is a clever marketing strategy that boosts the coffee giants’ sales, but all it really does is encourage people to spend mindlessly on beverages and objects they don’t need.

Instead of wasting your money on expensive, designer coffee, why not get yourself a Journal that will Actually Change Your Life?

“This Journal will Actually Change your Life” is a 2009 Planner from Free Speech Publications, a new local publishing house that “aims to write & publish books that are visionary & life changing” and “to distribute books that provide fresh answers to the situations in contemporary society”. The 2009 Planner is hardbound in black with colored pages. And instead of subtle advertisements to make you buy more coffee, the pages contain interesting trivia, quotations, and other kinds of “useless” information.

Besides the usual monthly and weekly calendars, the Free Speech Publications 2009 journal also has lots of other useful features such as quarterly health check-ups and soul inventory, a weekly mood chart, a monthly expenses tracker, note pages, measurement conversion tables, an address book, even a little section on flags! Not to mention there’s also lots and lots of space for doodling and making other notes.

The Journal That Will Change Your Life is not only a useful planner to have around - buying one will actually help make a difference. All proceeds will go to the Lifeline Foundation Support Team, a non-profit, non-government organization dedicated to educating the poor and giving relief to the oppressed.

Grab a Journal That Will Change Your Life and make a difference for only Php 850 (less than what you would spend for a Starbucks planner!). Available at Fully Booked and Power Books.

    Wow! I like planners =) Will there be any of these in Cebu? I will be doing a stop over there before going to Surigao. Will definitely check this out. I like owning unique things and this seems to me a unique and ingenious creation for me. Thanks for sharing

    I think so! There’s a new Fully Booked at Ayala Center, Cebu. If the planner’s not there, I think you might be able to order it from the Free Speech website. :)

    I haven’t owned a Starbucks planner yet (though I would love to own one!) Anyway, I saw The Journal that would change your life planner in Powerbooks. It’s really nice and almost complete in features! I’m a sucker for planners, as mentioned in one of my posts! Cheers!
