Starting My First Real Canva Project...

Hello everyone!

I have an idea.

I’ve always had a hard time staying organized— but not for lack of trying. I want to be the person with the color-coded planner and neatly mapped out days. And believe me, I’ve tried.

But my brain doesn’t seem to work like that… at least not with any of the planners I’ve used.

I’ve bounced between paper planners, digital apps, and random printables—constantly searching for something to help me feel more grounded and structured. But nothing ever really fit. Some were too overwhelming. Others were too bare. Most just didn’t match what I needed day to day.

Lately, with everything I’ve got going on, I’ve been feeling especially scattered. Like I need something—anything—to help me see things clearly and make the most of my time.

So this morning, I decided:

If I can’t find a planner that works for me, maybe I should just make my own.

I’ve been slowly getting more comfortable with Canva, and I’ve been looking for a ā€œrealā€ project to help me practice. So why not design something that fits the way I function—something simple, flexible, and easy to stick with?

So here it is: my first official design project—a personal planner, built from scratch, page by page.

I’ll be sharing the whole process right here: what I’m designing, why I’m designing it, and what’s helping me stay on track.

I’m starting with the pages I know I need most, but if there’s something you’ve always wished a planner had, feel free to drop it in the comments—I might add it in as a bonus later on!

I want to try to make planners on canva too but my access is mostly on the phone. Is it easier to design on a computer? I have barely messed with it.
