How to Choose the Right Planner: Printable, Digital, or Notion?
Share
Choosing the right planner can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options available. Should you go for a printable planner, a digital planner, or a Notion template? Each format has its unique benefits, and the best choice depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and how you like to stay organized. If you're unsure which format suits you best, our 3-in-1 packs are the perfect solution - they include all three versions at a discounted price, so you can try them out and see what works for you!
Printable Planners
If you love the feel of pen on paper and enjoy physically writing down your plans, a printable planner is an excellent choice. These planners allow you to:
- Print the pages as needed
- Customize layouts by arranging sheets in a binder
- Reduce screen time while planning
Printable planners provide flexibility and the satisfaction of traditional journaling, especially if you enjoy scrapbooking, stickers etc. There is another advantage: you will truly enjoy reading your journal when you find it 10 years later - I personally do.
Digital Planners
A digital planner is great for those who love technology and want to carry their planner anywhere without the bulk of paper. These planners can be used on a tablet or a phone (such as an iPad with GoodNotes or Notability) and offer:
- Easy navigation with hyperlinks
- The ability to erase, copy, and move elements
- Environmentally friendly, no printing required
- Templates can be duplicated
If you like an interactive way to organize your tasks and don't want to carry a printed planner with you, a digital planner is ideal. Apps like GoodNotes can be used on Mac as well.
Notion Planners
For those who prefer an automated and highly customizable digital experience, a Notion planner is a fantastic option. Notion planners provide:
- Interactive databases for tracking tasks, goals, and habits
- Customizable templates that adapt to your workflow
- Integration with other digital tools
- Ability to add new pages and combine with other templates
Notion is especially useful for people who love structured organization and automation in their planning process. As long as you use the same account on your phone and desktop, everything will be automatically synced. You can also connect your Google Calendar to your Notion in 1 click.
If you aren't sure which one to get, you can buy 3-in-1 packs for a discounted price.
I hope this helps :)
Best regards,
Useful Planner
