What Is a Digital Planner?
A digital planner is a digital version of the traditional paper planner. Usually in the form of an interactive PDF that can be written on using a tablet and a stylus, it functions just like a traditional paper planner. It can help you manage your goals, tasks and important appointments to get more organized.
While physical or paper planners can be carried around, notebooks can be easily misplaced and they can clutter up your space. To avoid this, getting a digital planner that you can access anytime, anywhere may be a more convenient option.
