HOW TO CREATE DIGITAL PLANNER TEMPLATES

- Choose a niche or specific target audience for your digital planners (e.g., students, professionals, moms, fitness enthusiasts).

Step 2: Choose Your Software

- Select the software you're comfortable with for creating digital planners. Adobe InDesign, PowerPoint, or even specialized digital planner software like GoodNotes are common choices. Canva is pretty much ALWAYS the perfect go-to for building and designing any sort of digital product.

Step 3: Create a Basic Template

- Consider adding elements like hyperlinked tabs, buttons, and interactive checkboxes for user convenience.

Canva even has built in planning templates that can be edited and used to suit your niche! All put together for you, the hard work has already been done! Simply change it (colors, text, possibly layout, titles, dates) to suit the theme you are going for, and even add in graphic elements (Canva has a ton!). So don't get hung up on what to have on the template, the layout, or even what it should look like. Choose from some already made templates! Be sure to change it up slightly to go with your theme.
