Watching (or reading) my tutorial for beginners on how to use GoodNotes with your digital planner will give you a huge head start.Ready to give it a shot? I don’t blame you! That’s why this blog post is all about how I use my digital planner with the GoodNotes app. Files or copy them to other documents, please refer to the pages belowOne thing is clear: if you’re frustrated with your digital planner, it may be because you’re using your tablet’s native software or PDF reader. But I know my digital planner wouldn’t be half as powerful without the best app.In note-taking apps such as Flexcil, GoodNotes or Notability, you can use your.
That means that, even though I can’t edit my planner the same way on my computer or phone, I can still reference it and take my digital planner with me anywhere! Convenience is definitely high up on my priority list, and GoodNotes gets some big points in this area.If you’d prefer to watch me plan with GoodNotes, click here to go straight to my GoodNotes tutorial.One more thing before we jump into all the GoodNotes fun, I wanted to note that I use an iPad Pro and Apple Pro Pencil with my digital planner. My favorite thing about GoodNotes is that it can be opened across your devices. Honestly, it’s the best $8 I’ve spent on an app in my life and totally worth the investment.
These hyperlinks are built in by the developer of the planner, so not every digital planner will have the same hyperlinks. A hyperlink means that when you click on the tab labeled “August”, your planner will automatically jump to the month of August instantly. Hyperlinks are really the thing that give a digital planner an edge over a paper one. I was smack dab in the middle of a planning session, so you can see GoodNotes put me right back in the action as soon as I opened it.In order to get back to my main planner view, I can tap the home button, which is in the upper right corner as highlighted in the photo below.This is a great example of hyperlinks. If you’ve purchased a Sweet Life planner, check your email for a short video on exactly how to open your planner in GoodNotes.As you can see, when I opened my digital planner, GoodNotes remembered where I had been working.
Read mode means that when you touch your pencil to the tablet, it will not write. How to Use your Digital Planner in “Read” and “Write” Modes in GoodNotesGoodNotes has two main modes to operate in: read and write modes. You want your digital planner to do all the hard work for you, so when you’re shopping around for a planner, keep those hyperlinks in the forefront of your mind.
This will make a blue toolbar pop up right above the original toolbar. To switch from read mode to write mode, click on the drawing tool located in the top right corner of the toolbar, as highlighted in the photo below. Write mode is where you want to be in order to actually start writing in the planner.When GoodNotes first launches, it’ll start in “read” mode.
But just stick with it and you’ll soon be navigating these two modes like a pro! I haven’t been in the digital planning game for terribly long and It’s already become second nature for me now – I don’t even have to think about it! More About Digital Planner Hyperlinks in GoodNotesRemember how I said hyperlinks are what set digital planners apart? I wasn’t exaggerating! In my original example, I talked about navigating from month to month. It’s highlighted in the photo below.It’s a learning curve at first, so it will take a little bit to get used to. Again, go back to read mode by clicking the button on the far right in the nav bar. You can see in the photo below where I tapped on “August” while still in “write” mode.If you want those hyperlinks to work, make sure read mode is active. Instead, you’ll actually make a little mark on the tab, because you’ve told your planner that you’re writing, not that you want to click on anything.
So, when you’re shopping around for digital planners, keep an eye out for those hyperlinks! That is really going to be the thing that makes your digital planner worthwhile.The Sweet Life Planner has around 20,000 hyperlinks. Just because one digital planner has those monthly, weekly, and daily hyperlinks, it doesn’t mean that every digital planner is going to have those same hyperlinks. Simply tap on the week, and you’ll be viewing the weekly plan in a matter of seconds.As I mentioned before, not all digital planners are the same.
This is a feature I definitely recommend so if you want to make sure your tablet and pencil have this capability, read more about it on my post all about how to get started with digital planning.Next, you can choose the color you are writing with. Here, you can select the type of pen (fountain, ballpoint, or brush) as well as some of those other details like the Palm Rejection feature.Palm Rejection is a feature where, when you’re writing with the tablet pencil, the tablet will only recognize the pencil and it won’t think your hand is trying to write, which will feel more like you’re writing on paper. But if you tap twice, a couple customizable features show up in a drop down menu. If you tap on the pen once (reminder: that tool on the toolbar toward the left side), it will simply switch to the pen and you’re ready to write. How to Change Pen Thickness and Style in GoodNotesNow that you have a basic understanding of how digital planners work and how to navigate them, I want to highlight a couple features that GoodNotes has to offer.The first is the customization of the pen tool. This one has some tabs on the top, which act like little bookmarks to your “at a glance” views and then tabs along the side to easily navigate through the months and monthly goals.
Similar to the color select, there are three different thicknesses. (Who else is all for color coding when they plan?! ?)Right next to the color select is where you can set your pen thickness. This is so you can set three different colors and easily switch between them. If you really want to get fancy, you can even enter the hex number of a specific color.You’ll see there are three spaces in the toolbar where you can store a color.
