What is a Realistic Digital Planner

You may be wondering what we mean by a realistic digital planner. It’s still a planner on a device after all.

When we say a realistic planner it is all about making a digital planner LOOK more like a traditional paper planner. There are lots of ways you can do this but here are some ideas:

Textured Front Cover
Open Planner details- such as binder rings and page tabs
Paper designs
Planner accessories – these are things like sticky notes, paper clips, washi tape, and pins

All these little details can make your digital planner experience feel more like using a traditional paper planner as well as creating a fun-to-use…and amazing-to-look-at planner.

Why have a realistic digital planner?

From experience, we have found that if you love your planner, you are naturally going to want to use it more. If your planner makes you smile every time you open your device it makes creating a planner habit so much easier.

Plus you deserve to have beautiful things in your life!

How Do You Make Digital Planners Realistic?

By now we are guessing you really want to make your planner look more realistic. So how do you do it?

Up until now, there have been two ways to do this.

1. Buy pre-made realistic digital planner downloads

Lots of digital planner creators have done lots of the hard work for you by making digital downloads with realistic planner features that you can add to your Digital Planner.

Pros- Everything is done for you so you can just download the files and add them to your Digital Planner. Saving you time and effort.

Cons- These files will often have no or limited customization options available. This means you may find it hard to find just the right products or ones that fit your needs, planner style, or themes.

2. Make Your Own Realistic Digital Planner Features

If you want to create your own realistic features then you can with programs such as Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, and Affinity Publisher. With this option, you are only limited by your imagination and capability to learn the programs.

Pros- You can create exactly what you want for your planner.

Cons- The design software to create these features is often expensive and it can be time-consuming to learn how to use them.

Now though there is a third way. And you’re going to love it. Because you can create customizable features, without having to buy or learn specialist design programs.
