As the current year comes to a near close, we’ve got our days numbered to prepare for the beginning of 2020. And what better way to do that than with a yearly planner?
With only 58 days to go before the dawn of a new year, a new decade, in fact, there is nothing left to do than to make the best of the remaining few days and yes, to get our acts together. This also means looking back at the year that has gone by so swiftly. Did we make the most out of it? Did our plans come to fruition? Did this end up the year we intended it to be?
The answer to all those existential questions shouldn’t be difficult. That is if you’ve managed to keep a log of the days, diligently logging things down for posterity. So, while that consumes your thoughts for the fraction of the time left, it’s now time to look forward and kick off your new year with a planner, one that is bound to keep yourself organized and on track all year round, ideally.
Like clockwork, caffeine-aholics will head to coffee shops of their choice and start collecting stickers or stamps, in exchange for a planner. Meanwhile, non-fans with little to no EQ will go ahead and browse through bookstores and look for a 2020 planner that suits them well. There will be rows and choices aplenty for sure. So, to make things easier for you, we’ve stacked up the noteworthy ones you should keep tabs on for a more focused, organized, and abundant year ahead.
