Planner Sighting at Starbucks

Source

The other day, I went to Starbucks for lunch.  As I settled myself into one of their comfy leather chairs, I noticed a couple at a table.  They each had laptop with them, each doing work of some kind.  After a second look, I noticed an open planner next to the girl’s laptop.  From where I was sitting, I couldn’t see much detail.  However, it looked as though it may have been a DayTimer or Franklin Covey (definitely not any Filofax binder).  It appeared to be an A5 style, perhaps something similar to this or this.  I don’t know if it was an open style binder or a snap style, but it definitely was not a zip binder.  From what I could tell, the inserts were two pages per day, something similar to this, though they could have been a page per day.  It was a little difficult to tell.  I tried to sneak a peek as I walked by, but I didn’t want to be too obvious in my nosiness.  I thought about going over and saying something, but it’s that whole “they’ll think I’m a nutter” fear that kept me from doing so.  And I would have taken a picture to post—even contemplated it for a mere minute—but didn’t feel that it would be right to post a picture of something that belonged to someone else without their permission or knowledge.  I can tell you that the planner was big and hefty, was being used along side of a laptop (I wonder how she integrated digital and paper planning, if at all), and was in use at the time of the spotting.  I just hope she kept it free from coffee spills, though on the other hand, it would have given character to the day’s page(s).
