How to plan right from your desktop: 🤓

I love digital planning but sometimes you can spend more time on the planning app making everything look cute than you do actually getting your tasks done

I have been using this desktop planning method for a couple of years and through some refinement it was been a really good tool to keep me on track without taking a lot of time to set up!

What you need to do:

•Find and customize a template on Canva

•Set the image as your desktop background

•Use the stickies app to add in your tasks, events, or whatever else you may need a quick reminder for

(This is for my Mac but I’m pretty sure windows has a similar app)

•Add your files that you use daily to the Home Screen

(Pro tip: you can customize the icons of these folders to fit your aesthetic!)

Do you like digital planning?? Would you try this desktop planning method? Let me know!

Digital planning can significantly enhance your productivity, especially when it’s customized to fit your personal style. This method not only provides a visual reminder of your tasks but also makes your workspace aesthetically pleasing. Start by finding a versatile template on Canva that resonates with your work needs; it must be functional yet appealing. Setting this as your desktop background turns your screen into a powerful planning tool. The stickies app is an excellent addition for quick note-taking and reminders, allowing you to jot down tasks or important dates as they come to mind. For Mac users, the stickies app is intuitive, but Windows users can explore similar applications to achieve the same effect. This desktop planning method underlines the idea that personalization in your digital workspace can increase both your motivation and efficiency. Lastly, don't forget to streamline your workflow by placing frequently used files on your home screen; consider enhancing the aesthetic by using unique icons. This way, you can access your essential documents quickly while keeping everything visually organized. Embrace this planning approach, and you might find that managing your tasks becomes not just easier but also more enjoyable!
