3 Things You Need to Know About Digital Planning
Digital planning has taken the online world by storm over the last few years and I’m not mad about it because IT IS AWESOME! (Plus I make a living designing digital planners so that is pretty cool too 😂 My Etsy shop actually turns 2 years old next month!
So what exactly is DIGITAL PLANNING? I tell people that digital planning mimics the paper planner experience but on a tablet. Make sense?
I want to tell you 3 things that you need to know about digital planning:
One: The level of customization is high.
This has got to be the best part about digital planning (that and the fact that you can endlessly erase and select and move things around without a second thought, lol).
You have the ability to add pages, stickers, pictures, text boxes, etc. One of my favorite things to do is go on Instagram and check the tagged photos on my digital planning account to see how y’all are using your digital planners. It’s so cool because no two ever look the same. You can make your digital planner meet your needs! And even better…you can change how you use your planner every month, week, or even day if you want to. Sometimes I feel like a weekly spread will work for me and then other days are extremely busy and I need an entire spread dedicated to just that day.
Our newest planners actually have 10 blank tabs and come with 10 inserts on the side so that you can use the ones that work best for you. You’re also able to add any other inserts that you’d like (from our shop or others) in addition to the ones that come with the planners.
The 10 inserts that come with the new planners are:
+ Weekly Hustle Sanely 5 Tracker
+ Weekly Routine
+ Yearly Goal Breakdown
+ Meals + Groceries
+ Monthly Habit Tracker
+ Cleaning + Home Maintenance
+ Monthly Budget (2 pages)
+ Assignment Tracker
+ Password Tracker
+ Health + Wellness Tracker (workouts, sleep, hydration, nutrition, menstrual cycle)

The second thing you need to know about digital planning: it’s cost effective.
A lot of the planners in my shop are undated which means you only have to buy them once and you get to use them over and over again without having to re-purchase! Popular paper planners cost upwards of $50…and that is just for a year! My digital planners are $15-$30 with the option to purchase add-on inserts but you only have to buy it once! Sounds like a win in my book!
The third thing you need to know about digital planning: your planner is super portable.
I digital plan on my iPad which is WAY easier to carry around than a bulky paper planner. Not only that, but I’m able to view my planner on my iPhone, too. And let’s be real…I’m never without my phone so I always have my planner with me! I have a video on my tutorial page that shows you how you can access your planner from your phone if you are using GoodNotes like me. Now when I’m out and about and someone asks if I’m available on a certain day, I don’t have to tell them I’ll check my planner when I get home and let them know - I can pull out my digital planner and check right then and there!
Have other questions, like:
“Will digital planning work on my laptop?”
“What app do I need to use for digital planning?”
“Can I type in my digital planner?”
I’ve got you covered! I have a VERY extensive digital planning FAQ page here.
Oh and because I like to go big, I even have a digital planning video tutorial library here.
Still kind of on the fence about making the switch to digital planning?
