Digital planning is just like paper planning but on a device. It is a paperless route to plan the same way you would plan with a paper planner. Using an optimized PDF file imported into an annotation app; the digital planner file includes embedded hyperlinks that allow for navigation with tabs and sections just like your paper planner.
All functions are similar to how you would normally plan, but digitally.
(Digital Planning is different from your notes app or your google calendar. Those -both great tools- are different from using an optimized PDF. The Digital Planner PDF is meant to replicate your paper planner. This means, just like your paper planner, it does not link/sync to these other agenda apps.)
Digital Planners, Journals, & Etc
Digital planners, journals, notebooks, etc are optimized PDF files. They are created specifically to be used in annotation apps for the purpose of digital planning. This means that they are created to look and work like traditional paper planners with hyperlinks for tabs and sections to help navigate the planner.
Digital Stickers and Elements
Stickers and elements for planning digitally are PNG files with the background removed so they can be placed in a digital planner and look like a paper or vinyl sticker. They are essentially just an image, but most are designed specifically for digital planning. Digital planner sticker sets will usually include functional elements for planning as well as decorative stickers. Most will be pre-cropped meaning each sticker is individual and ready to use in the planner. Some you may find with a full sheet with multiple elements that will need to be cropped in order to use each item.
