A digital planner is a PDF file with hyperlinks that will lead you to a specific page. You can use this PDF file with a tablet, like an iPad or Android device, and a pencil.

 

Now imagine you are on a page with a monthly overview, and you want to write down your appointments. How? You will need a PDF annotation app and your pencil to note down these events with your handwriting. You could also use a keyboard - if you want to.

 

Let's think a step further! You are ready with planning your month, but what if you also want to plan on another page, like a weekly or a fitness page? Here is the difference to paper planning: instead of swiping your pages until you found the next page, you will just click on a tab (which usually has hyperlinks), and your tablet will lead you to that page. Magic, right?
