Digital Planning

I've blogged many times about planners. I love my paper planner and its (almost) perfect for me. Why doesn't it have full pages for Saturday and Sunday? That's the only thing that keeps me from planner peace. But I digress. I finally got an Apple Pencil and I thought it was a good time to try out digital planners. Why not? I can have a full page for every day of the week.

The first planner I bought was undated. This would save me money, I thought, because I can reuse it every year. It quickly became apparent that I was going to have to copy and paste 365 days to get my full year of pages. Gah! I don't have that kind of time.

I went to a dated planner next. July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020. (2020!)

This was better because I didn't have to create anything myself, and while I would have liked time slots for appointments, it was okay.

While I like the idea of digital planning, I'm pretty sure this is going to be a fail. It's just too much easier for me to work with paper. I keep my planner right next to me on the desk in my office and I can glance over and see my day without having to navigate to a file.

I'm glad I tried it because now I don't have to wonder if I could find planner peace on my iPad. I can't. :-) The paper planner I've used for the past few years is the closest I'm ever going to get to planner peace and I just need to accept that it's not going to be exactly perfect.
