I used to be a big fan of PAPER planners, but when I’ve decided to switch from paper planning to digital planning, I never look back.
Digital planners are almost like paper planners but so much more. I am sharing with you the 5 reasons why I switched to digital planning and so should you.
REASON #1: LESS WASTE
If you are a person who values the effort of recycling items at home, use no or minimal plastic, choose recyclable products or do your part to save the planet in your own way, then digital planning is definitely for you.
As you know, countless trees are being cut down for making paper. Digital planners are a great way to cut down paper use and waste. Switching to digital planners is a wise move to a sustainable approach to planning.
REASON #2: SAVE MONEY
As you are aware, you will need a tablet to use digital planners. It is properly doesn't make sense to a lot of people at first because tablet is expensive! However, it actually saves a lot of money in the long run. Let me tell you why.
Paper planners may seem cheaper but they can be used just for a year. And imagine if you are spending on not only a planner, but bullet journals, sketchbooks and etc, then it becomes costly. Not to mention the bullet journal supplies like washi tapes, stickers and sticky notes, they are not cheap!
Whilst using digital planners, you can reuse the undated digital planners and digital stickers as many times as you want.
And for lettering, you may end up using a lot of brush pens, compared to only an Apple pen or a stylus for digital planners. Looks like you can save a lot!
REASON #3: SAVE SPACE
I am the type of person who will buy several planners to keep track of my life. One for myself, one for my business, one for my family and more! Instead of carrying all the planners with me when I am on the move, I import all the planners and just carry my iPad Pro!
If I feel like I am not in the mood to carry my tablet on the day, I can still access to my planners using my smartphone! My digital planners can sync across all my devices include smartphone and tablet.
Using digital planners not only save space at home, it saves space in my handbag, so I can keep my bag light!
REASON #4: ENDLESS CUSTOMIZATION
The sky is the limit. Basically you can customize your digital planners to meet your needs. You can add pages, digital stickers, templates, widgets, pictures, highlights, text boxes and many more. It opens these possibility up of you, you will never run out of ideas.
REASON #5: SAVE TIME
What will you do when you make a mistake on your paper planner? You may end up spending time to fix it or redo everything. Well, in digital planners, the undo button will be your best friend. You won't afraid of making mistakes.
The copy-and-paste feature is my favourite when it comes to repeated tasks. I can plan my day, week faster.
If you are a planners or journals lover like me, give digital planning a try!
