A digital planner is the most recent organizational and planning fad. This approach is enjoyable and easy to learn if you’re going paperless or just want to start using a planner without spending a lot of money. Starting with a paper planner doesn’t take a lot of resources, but if you want to incorporate stickers and fancy pens, it will.
A tablet is all that is required to begin using a digital planner. This blog is a fantastic place to start whether you’re thinking about converting to digital or have never used a planner before.
Digital planning can open a lot of doors for creative planners and for productivity. With either an iPad or an Android tablet, you can transformed and notes and planners into a fun paperless experience. Many digital calendars, digital stickers, and notebooks have appeared since the introduction of the use of tablets, and their popularity is growing.
What's covered in this post
What You’ll Need to Plan Your Digital Strategy
Getting started is easy. In fact, it’s possible that you already have some or all of the items you’ll need. Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll need;
1. Apple iPad or Android Tablet (one with a stylus would be better!)
2. A stylus
3. GoodNotes5 or any other PDF annotation app
4. A Digital Planner or a Notebook in PDF format ( and you’re set!)
Typing and writing
The pen symbol (and pencil) at the top of the page is the most basic feature for utilizing Notes Writer as a digital planner. Alter the line’s color and size. Then, exactly as with a real pen/pencil, write with stylus. An Apple pencil was well worth the money. To erase, go to the top menu and click the eraser icon, then use the stylus to erase. It’s as accurate as a writing pen. If the tablet’s handwriting is horrible, type anything in the text field. By selecting the text icon before typing, modify all of the font options. Modify everything once it’s typed. To type, use the stylus or even a fingers. To move the final text around, resize the text box, or bring up the editing options, tap the hand symbol.
Accessory for Digital Planning (optional)
Another wonderful benefit of digital planning is the variety of interesting digital planning accessories available. Digital stickers, sticky notes, and much much more are available! The best thing is that they can be used over and over again! Unlike real stickers and tapes, which can only be used once, digital stickers may be reused as many times as you like.
There’s also the option of shifting stickers around once they’ve been placed on the page. They’ll always be there, ready to use (in contrast to actual stickers).
Moving text
On monthly calendar, the left margin is vacant. This will give enough space to write down the month. The hand tool may then be used to rotate and resize the text to fit the area. Simply drag, squeeze, or move the text field with a finger.
Undated planners
These are digital planners that aren’t pre-dated; the user must do so. As a budget-conscious person, look for calendars that can use year after year and that have room to write, take notes, and just plan out the life you want to live.
Highlighting
The highlighter is a feature that is very amazing. It may be whatever color you choose, and it will immediately appear below the text to make it easier to read. This is a wonderful method to draw attention to anything. However, it’s also a fun way to brighten up the planner.
Duplicating or Moving drawings
By clicking on whatever sketched with the stylus, move it around. Use the scissors to make a duplicate. Draw a circle around the object you wish to clip using the icon at the top of the page. The clipped object will be duplicated. This is useful if need to copy anything from one page to another or if just need two of something.
Pages can be added and rearranged.
Fill the planner by duplicating each page as many times as you like. To see a menu of all the pages, click the boxes in the top left corner. To add a page to any location, go to the top right corner and click edit. Tap on the page you wish to replicate, then on the left-hand tiny copy icon. The duplicate will display next to the original, but you can move it around. Once finished, reorganizing, click done.
