How to use a digital planner

As you can tell from all the free printable planner pages, I love planning. Carrying around my “normal” planner (I love Happy Planner Classic!) isn’t practical, but I don’t like typing notes and reminders into the text app on my phone. That’s why I started looking into digital planning. It combines the “look and feel” of paper planning without cramming your paper planner into a bag (and risking damaging it).

Digital planning isn’t difficult, but there are a couple of steps to get your planner onto your tablet.

You will need:

A compatible tablet
A stylus (such as the Apple Pencil)
A planning App. Goodnotes and Noteshelf are the most popular
Your digital planner!

How to import a digital planner into Goodnotes

After downloading the PDF file, the planner will open in the Safari browser of your iPad.
Click on the Share button on the top right corner.
You might have to scroll and select copy to Goodnotes.
In Goodnotes, choose a location and click the import as a new document button.

How to use the Goodnotes app

Sometimes people have trouble and aren’t able to get the hyperlinked tabs to click when they use Goodnotes.

How to use hyperlinked tabs in Goodnotes

For the tabs to work, you need to be in the Read-Only Mode in Goodnotes. You should see an icon of a pencil with a line through it.

This mode lets you navigate through your pages easily.

All other inputs, like the pen/stylus, are blocked when this mode is active.

How to write on your digital panner in Goodnotes

To be able to write on your planner, you need to deselect the Read-Only Mode in Goodnotes. You should see an icon that looks like a pencil drawing a loop.

You can use the writing tools like the pen and highlighter in this mode.
