Make Your Own Digital Note and Planner Templates ✨
If you aren't making your own digital note and planner templates then what are you actually doing?
Apps like Goodnotes have their own templates to take notes and write out your schedule, but have you ever seen someones iPad notes on pinterest and they're super aesthetic?
Yeah those are just custom templates that you can make for FREE on Canva!
They also sell them on Etsy in big bundles of templates too but if you're cheap like me then just use this tutorial to make them yourself and thank me later🫶🏾😭💕

Okay, so you've seen those gorgeous digital notes and planners on Pinterest, right? I totally get it – I used to scroll through them wishing my own digital setup looked that good! The original article already spilled the beans on how to whip up your own aesthetic templates using Canva, which is a total game-changer. But let's dive a bit deeper into why this DIY approach is so amazing, especially if you're using apps like Noteful or Goodnotes, and how to really make those custom templates work for you. First off, why bother making your own when there are so many Noteful templates or Goodnotes templates out there, both free and paid? Honestly, it all comes down to personalization. While those pre-made bundles are convenient, they rarely hit all the marks for your unique planning or studying style. When I started making my own, I realized I could tailor every single detail – from the size of my daily schedule boxes to the specific sections for my WEEKLY PLANNER goals. No more wasted space or features I never use! Plus, let's be real, saving money by using free tools like Canva is always a win. Now, once you've designed your masterpiece in Canva – maybe a sleek DAILY PLANNER or a detailed meeting note layout – how do you actually get it into Noteful or Goodnotes? It’s surprisingly simple! Design your template in Canva, making sure the dimensions are appropriate for your tablet (usually standard paper sizes or a custom size that fits your screen aesthetic). Once it's perfect, export it as a PDF. Then, open your Noteful or Goodnotes app. You can usually import a PDF directly as a new notebook or as a new page template within an existing notebook. For Noteful, you'd typically go to 'Add Document' or 'Import' and select your PDF. Some apps even let you set these imported PDFs as your default template! Think about all the cool stuff you can create. Beyond just basic lined paper, you can design intricate WEEKLY PLANNER layouts with sections for hydration tracking, mood monitoring, and even project outlines. For my study notes, I love creating a custom Cornell-style template that integrates perfectly with how my brain processes information. You can even mimic the look of traditional 'Spiral Notebook templates' but with the endless flexibility of digital. Canva has tons of elements that can give you that classic paper texture or binding look, making your digital notes feel extra special. My top tip for designing in Canva? Play around with the grid and line features to keep everything aligned and neat. Use consistent fonts and a limited color palette for a cohesive, professional look. Don't be afraid to experiment with different layouts for your DAILY PLANNER or project pages. Remember, the beauty of making your own is that if something isn't working, you can easily tweak it. It’s an ongoing process of refining your digital workspace to perfectly suit your needs. So, go ahead, get creative, and elevate your digital planning game with templates that are uniquely *you*!
