The Staff Writers at ChurchMag try to find niches in which we can become experts, and lately, I’ve been fighting to claim the “sweet notebook” beat. In the last year, I introduced you to the Passion Planner and Spark Notebook, the BASICS Notebook, the DreamWeaver Planner, and most recently the BULLET Journal. Pretty exhaustive, isn’t it?
Well, let’s add another one to the list:
Introducing the Spark Planner
Now, I just recently received a complimentary copy of the Spark Notebook, and I have to say that I love it’s design and layout even more than I thought I would. And that sweet minimalist design has been carried over to the Spark Planner.
I love the way they break the month down in weekly segments and how it all gets tied back together with the monthly challenges and the journaling prompts (prompts not pictured here).
Beyond the cool layout and design, there are three other little aspects that I love: it lays flat; it has two build-in bookmarks; and the pages are resistant to bleed-through. Boom! That’s a trifecta for a notebook nerd like myself.
At this point in their Kickstarter campaign, a Spark Planner will cost $30, and it will be delivered this December, just in time to get the coming-year planned out. Sounds like a good plan! Get a head start on all of the resolutions by putting your money where you mouth is: if you really want to get organized next year, put some money on the line and get a sweet planner. To quote Mitch Hedberg, “I bought a $7 pens because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring.”
How can you argue with that?

This looks SO good. Unfortunately, I had just bought myself a new planner for 2016, right before I saw this. Can’t bring myself to pay another $30 when I already have something…But my, it’s certainly tempting…
Phil Schneider says
Certainly is! I’ve got my Spark Notebook sitting on my desk waiting till I finish my current, and I almost can’t take the anticipation.

I really liked your review blog on basics and spark notebook.
Truly unbiased !
Me and my team is working on a similar kind of Kickstarter project; will definitely approach you for our product review.
Phil Schneider says
Sounds great, Bipin! Just let me kno.

Can you share pdf file for spark notebook
Phil Schneider says
No, I can’t. Sorry. Since it’s copyrighted and the Kickstarter is over, I don’t think they’re sharing it anymore. But, they are a pretty cool company, so maybe if you asked nicely? By the way, they’ve changed their name. You can find out more at http://inkandvolt.com/
