Hello! I bought a paper planner for this year and it just isn't working. I have seen digital planners and think that is what I need to get. Do any of you wonderful Peas have any experience with them? If so, which one is the best? I have looked at all of them it seems and "Organized Me" seems like the one I am leaning towards. Before I pull the trigger I was hoping to get some advice.
Thanks so much!

I have a free one from Paperlike because I didn’t want to pay $$$ for one only to discover I wouldn’t use it any more than the paper format ones. Guess what? I didn’t use that one either.  I end up using iCal more than anything because I always have my phone and it’s most convenient. Do you have an iPad or another tablet or device you plan to use? That might make a difference in what people recommend. |

Check out Laurel Studio digital planner. She has a basic free digital planner, as well as more detailed planners that are customizable. There are planners for Android, ReMarkable, iPad and iPad iOS Calendar Integration. Digital Planning with Laurel Studio is the Facebook Group and she has an active YouTube channel. A couple of years ago I attempted digital planning but eventually went back to a combo of paper and iCal, in large part to the stage of life I am in. But while exploring digital planners, this was the best one I found. |

Not a planner, but a task manager; I've been using Microsoft To Do, blue checkmark which links to Outlook. You can make lists and flag your important emails. It's pretty handy and when you finish a task a nice ding sounds.

If you aren't finding what you want digital planner-wise, you could consider designing your own on Canva. There are lots of templates in Canva that you can customize. Here's mine as an example: Planner on Canva.I use an eink tablet for notetaking: Supernote |

I’ve been using digital planners from DPCDigitals, in GoodNotes on my iPad and iPhone, for years. They include every imaginable kind of planner page in their planners - workout, menus, lists, goal, etc. - as well as daily and weekly pages. They also have a Facebook group. I primarily use the monthly calendars and the weekly pages. |

Thank you so much everyone. On to I am going to check out all of these recommendations. Crazy4scraps: Do you use the paperlike screen protector? Do you like it? I don’t use one but I don’t think I would like the rougher texture. My DD who does way more digital art than I do probably would love it though. I use a silicone tip cover on my Apple Pencil and she doesn’t, which probably makes a difference. |

Do you use the paperlike screen protector? Do you like it? I used it during my foray into digital planning along with my Apple Pencil. I had no problems with it and preferred using it to writing directly on the iPad screen. The flow was much better for me. |
