Getting Started with Digital Planning

Get Started with Digital Planning

How to Get Started with Digital Planning Using a digital planner is a great way to get organized. Paper planners are great, but a digital planner has a lot more function and versatility. With the advent of the iPad, digital planning is easier than ever before. Plus, digital planning helps reduce clutter and it also provides a digital copy of all of your notes through the years - all on one device. You can easily carry around years of planning! Get Started with Digital Planning To succeed with digital planning, it's important to first establish your reasons and expectations. Why ...

Branden and his team have created an excellent product in their OneNote Business Digital Planner. The planner is intuitive, user friendly, and combines the best of both worlds for both hand-written and digital planners. Using his planner daily has already increased my own productivity and goal progress accountability. We will be purchasing this product for each new psychologist we hire. I highly recommend trying his OneNote Business Digital Planner whether you are starting or scaling your business.

Finally a digital planner that really feels and work as an old fashioned paper planner. I have especially enoyed being able to plan with an iPencile but also have notes better organized to how I file. Not how the app developer says to file notes.

I did a lot of research before choosing the Key2Success Planner and I’m so happy with my decision. I love that I can personalise it to my own needs but most impressive is the free and regular video training with new and improved ways to get the most out of the planner.

I’ve never felt so organised!

I got really tired of flipping through coffee stained pages and lugging around paper planners. I have a galaxy note, an Ipad pro and use a surface and was using onenote for a lot of other written applications. I tried making my own templates and they were ok, but not very visually stimulating or very organized. I sent a message via the chat function with a question and within a minute Branden had responded, and a minute later we were on the phone (7am his time) and he walked me through exactly how Keys2Success could help me accomplish what I was looking for in a digital planner, and actually steered me toward a bundle which was less money than I intended to spend. We wound up chatting for about 20 minutes. Great guy. It’s two weeks later and I am loving the planner. I made a few adjustments to suit my needs and I’m off to the races! If you are serious about a written planner, take a swing and you won’t be disappointed!

I have been looking for this for a while. My tablet is much easier to carry than a paper planner. I miss the weekly planner view though. Will there be a weekly option? The weekly plan is more of a review of previous week than a view into what I need to plan for this week. The review is not very useful for me.

The Key2success planning system is the best digital planning system I have used. It enables me to replicate my old Daytimer System in digital version and therefore have it with me whenever I am. I will be recommending to my clients that they use the system and we will be using it in our personal and business productivity coaching programs. Branden has developed a great planner system.

Excellent product and since i purchased the version for OneNote and OneDrive it works seamlessly across all devices. I have windows laptop at work, an Iphone for work and personal, abd an ipad, for work and personal. I can access the same planner from any of these and it syncs between all three. Customer service was great as i messed up the first install and they helped me download it again and helped get it to work. I can imbed pictures right into the notes I am taking. If you have ever used a planner like Franklin you will really love a digital version.

This digital planner helps me get my whole life organized, it is plain but helps you keep everything from appts, to chores, to events on two pages! I have found it very helpful ! It is difficult to setup but customer help is excellent.

So far, I am loving the calendar… I wish it was more colorful, but the organization of it is great. It is helping me to be more efficient.

Given the similarities to paper planners, in particular the Franklin Covey system I was used to, the Keys2Success planners closely mirror this system but has its own strengths. The yearly Vision Page along with Annual Keys set you up to get clarity before you “try” to wade in and force metrics at a monthly level. The Annual pages right at the front of the planner make perfect sense and get you thinking and concentrating at a higher level to see the whole year first… makes perfect sense. I highly recommend the Keys2Success system.

Had been looking for a while for a good planner for OneNote. This is great and the extra templates are great. Just use the notes page and set it as the ‘default’ template when adding new pages to the section and you’re all set for multiple meetings per day. Great job, Branden!

I’m an early adopter kind of guy. I lived with my paper Day Timers for ever until my work collaboration forced me to digital tools. Keeping up both seemed wastefully redundant and never worked for me. Last year I created my own Day Timer pages as templates for One Note. It sort of worked, but not quite.

Barely two weeks ago I came on Key2Success and after listening to a couple of Branden’s vBlogs purchased his OneNote Business Planner. I have one instance running on my 13″ Lenovo laptop and another running on my Samsung Tab 6 with s-Pen beside me like a notebook. Both machines, as well as my Samsung Note 9 have precise stylus input. I know it’s nuts to say after only a couple of weeks use, but after a very short learning curve my productivity and sanity have increased noticeably.

I’ve occasionally invested in working with business coaches over the years. Ten minutes of Branden’s vBlog, along with the OneNote templates that would have taken me too damn long to build myself, (although, as I said, I started last year,) was well worth the price of admission.

Hands down by far the best product that actually works. To start Branden was there to help in every shape possible. Just based off his customer service I purchased the product and expected to just let it sit. I’ve purchased many digital planners and this one is my new best friend. I work in Real Estate and a stay at home step-mommy and this works wonders with keeping my in line. I am NOT a computer savvy person to save my life and this product is so easy to use! Thank you Branden for making me a life customer!

I must give very high marks on this planner. I was in the habit of using a manual planner. Going through the recommended clarity times and pulsing… I used both worlds of analog and digital effectively. But carrying around a pretty thick planner and an IPad became too much! Plus I now use my Apple pen which I bought but never used effectively. It does everything I had hoped and then some! I must say I did need a little coaching and Branden lived up to his commitment via direct chatting, email and a call! I gladly rate this a 10+ out of 10!

I love this planner so far. Love having the feeling of writing notes as well as writing out my thoughts and actions for the day. Reminds of the days I used a Franklin Planner. Believe this planner also enhances my workflow as I can now go totally paperless and write my meeting notes right on the meeting pages rather than on paper and retype them later. Combined in daily review and with Omnifocus as my task manager my workflow I believe has been greatly enhanced by this planner.
