I’ve been putting it off for years…What is it you want to hear about? If you’re one of the many people who have asked if I have or would write a book- what made you ask me this? TYIA
My Digital Planning Starter Resources and Go-to Favourite Shops:
1. Purchase GoodNotes 5 from the App store: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/goodnotes-5/id1444383602 It’s about $10 depending on your currency. You can use PDF Reader Pro, it’s free, but GoodNotes is intuitive like Apple and easiest to use if your going to do it, not just try it, invest in GoodNotes. It’s the best App I have ever purchased. 2. Now, with GoodNotes, you can use digital planners that have “hyper linked tabs,” this means when you click on a tab it opens to that page like a actual planner. *pop confetti* Otherwise you can import any PDF and write on it with a stylus, but you’ll have to flip through each page this way: ok for workbooks, not so fun for a 365 page planner. However it will open to the last page you used so if your say scrapbooking you don’t need the linked tabs. 3. If you are a digital planner you have to join The Full Moon Society Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/821925718154267/?ref=share . She has a free quarterly magazine and digitial planner charms, and her etsy shop is amazing: real low prices -every day! Think Walmart. She is also super sweet and creatively inspiring, and her group is friendly. She has so many freebies, like the magazine (which is FULL of free stickers) https://etsy.me/30pH4ju and usually under $2 for a pack of stickers and you don’t have to wait for a sale, her prices are fair and low everyday: I like that I can buy it on the spot and not put it in my cart for 7 weeks LOL! Her art is unique to, and gorgeous. 4. Super affordable and cute planners and notebook covers to switch up your planner cover or put a cover on a PDF: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/PlanPlanStudio . I recommend this planner as it’s cute, cheap, tons of tabs: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/786976762/quarantine-digital-planner-in-rosegold?ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1 5. For blackout paper, which looks amazing with white, pastel or neon bright ink; these black digital notebooks and planners are affordable: https://bossbabestudio.uk/?ref=jwwepwgfhiyw Black paper is less straining for your eyes too! 6. Shameless plug: I have created some PWYW (Pay What You Want) digital planners for our group that you can see here: https://gumroad.com/l/rainbowspoonie?fbclid=IwAR0NoMp_oalQoG9ZqwFmUH4UPYoJRi3v3Gvvrsi0ogkssMW65BaYVlpYKdA and I made a video that explains: ✔️How to download your digital planner and ✔️How to use your digital planner in the Good Notes app. It’s pinned it in announcements of our group, as I cannot offer tech support one on one. I made a handicapped planner too, a Star Wars Planner, a Glam makeup girly coral planner, and a LV designer one -plus a Notebook with hyperlinked tabs; you can find them all here: https://gumroad.com/ladycelesteeden?fbclid=IwAR0bnHK1qbIvpWQB20xPiYsk42z6TUfQpEOQBLX7y_7xe4ZIiVPRWTijCQ4&sort=newest 7. DPC Digitals is insanely strict about their rules, I mean I got kicked out of the Facebook Group for posting a freebie on #FreebieFriday without checking with admin first! So be really careful if you share in the group, but you can get a lot of free stuff (monthly notebooks, $2 Tuesday planners) if you get on their email list and check the website archives:  http://dpcdigitals.com . To shop digital stickers: https://etsy.me/2ZgUzjC 8. Blessings Manifesting makes a CUTE self care planner: https://www.blessingmanifesting.com/2020-self-care-planner/ and she is a woman of color. I love using her bright, happy, positive planner. 9. Lucid-Pen! Affordable and oh so cute: https://www.lucid-pen.com 10. Dribble, the cute grey drop character from AGoodwinDesigns Simple and Effective Digital Planning by AGoodwinDesign on Etsy 11. Gorgeous “real,” planner spreads, 500+ stickers in a kit for like $4 on sale: https://etsy.me/2ymGaX5 from PrintPetticoatBandit 12. RandomScraps has cute, well, scraps of paper and washi! RandomScraps Digital Planning Downloads by RandomScraps on Etsy 13. You need an iPad and stylus to be able to write on your planner in the GoodNotes App. You do NOT need the iPad Pro, just an iPad that is compatible with the iPencil. It’s so intuitive. I suck at computers and am self taught, no YouTube videos even required. Copy paste, undo and lasso are your friends. The best part is you can have many planners and use new stuff every day if you want: this would be maddening on paper, but it’s surprisingly easy to manage and fun digitally. Well, you have seen how many I post. 😂 You are going to love it. 6 months ago I said I would NEVER even consider trying digital. Now it’s a daily part of my day and the best part of my day. Many people ask me why I switched from paper to digital planners. First, I had NO intention of ever switching. I didn't "get," how anyone could be interested in digital when paper is so lovely. Well, I made a digital self care planner to sell. That was my first one. Buying clip art was fun! (...and dangerous!) Then I bought digital notepads and other people's digital planners, and digital stickers. Why I like it more: Perfection. I can move that sticker around until it's in the perfect spot. I can hand letter and 1 key stroke erases the last letter I messed up. I can even change the size of the type or hand written words, and the color of ink. The money saved because you do not need the actual "things." No ink. No pens. No printing paper. No sticker paper. No crayons. No washi. It's all available in digital form and for a fraction of the price! Which means you get more! Without more clutter!!! My office looks like a kids craft room. I have anxiety looking at my piles of papers, planners, stickers printed but not cut or used yet. The clutter!!! The space it physically takes up. Now, I am disabled. So I often found myself unable to grab a planner (I am in a wheelchair) so they didn't get used. It was to much effort to get the well intended Budget Planner or Wellness Journal out, or to find all the supplies I needed: stamps, ink pad, washi, felts, stickers... too much work, and too much time taken to prep and then put it all away. With my iPad it's one click. I have everything I need on the iPad; I have all the pens, felts, paint, calligraphy ink I need on my stylus. I no longer have to get up. It's so real looking too. My only complaint is that the iPad battery only last 10 hours. I have to recharge it. I am on it all the time planning. I have never been so happy: it just fills me with energy and being creative is such an outlet for me for stress relief. I "cut," images from anywhere and collage them into my planner. I screenshot, crop and edit stuff and add it. IG posts, posters, something I like and want to buy but a photo would be just as good. Boom. Money saved. No glue. No sticky fingers. No cutting out with scissors and having my hand hurt the next day. Yes I love cutting, the sound and feel. But not the payment in pain I pay every time I do. No lost favorite pens. No being out of ink. Having more colors than you can name, literally. A brand new iPad cost about $350. You know you pay that in stickers and planners probably every 6 months, right? Or maybe every season! Never mind new launches. I have to stress I said I would NEVER use a digital planner. I had zero interest. You have to try it. It's only because it is so new and strange that it seems foreign to you. I have zero computer skills and figured it all out; it is very intuitive. Easy. If I can do it, anyone can. Really. I have never had so much fun with a hobby ever. I have paper planners I will "use up," too many undated to count. But for pleasure, my heart it with digital. I have not touched a paper planner now for 6 weeks. I don't miss a thing. Digital gives me things paper just can not do. Oprah was right, Ipad's are the greatest invention ever. I got mine cause I want to draw stickers to sell one day. I never thought I would become a digital planner! I haven't even started the process for learning to make stickers yet! I've been to busy making more spreads in more sizes than I have ever used in my life. Now I can try out as many different planners as I want. Weird sizes: tall, slim, wide, short, mini. BuJo's. TN's. Hobochi- whatever it's called. All of it. I would never go buy physical stuff just to see if I might like it. Now I can get it for a fraction of the cost, digitally. I've tried it all. There is also a LOT of free stuff out there, and you can turn many of your physical things like dashboards or stickers into digital form. Anything that starts as a PDF works in GoodNotes, a cheap easy to use app. Images work even better, by that I just mean easier/faster to use! It's cheaper because there in no physical item they are selling. In business terms, there is no, "stock," to invest in. No washi piled up, no stickers to print cut and package; someone has to hand stuff an envelope and mail it. No shipping! Often no taxes added to prices. You can buy from all over the world, places where people sell digital stuff cheap, and get it instantly. No waiting for happy mail to come. No lost packages. No damaged items arriving. You can also use it over and over, so no more saving your favorite sticker, or paper (yes there is digital paper) and never using it cause it's too pretty to use! There is an, "undo your last action," button that is a savior. Anything you do, if you mess up, you can go back. As many times as you want. Then forward if you decide you do in fact like it. You can not do this with paper! Lastly, the iPad is the only way I know of to have truly secure, private journal writing. If you don't want someone to read your personal inner thoughts, you do not want to write it in a traditional book. Being able to vent or worry without fear someone will read what you wrote is a great release. Password protected! ✔️ This is just my first list of why it's awesome. Give digital a try!
