What planners do you offer?

We offer several versions of the Key2Success Planner for OneNote, GoodNotes, reMarkable, and other PDF annotation apps. We also publish a recipe planner and a Bible reading journal, and we add new products regularly.

What is the difference between your planners?

Each product page carries a comparison table showing exactly what that edition includes. Compare them side by side on the shop pages.

How do you price your planners?

The system is built to work at home and at work, and it has been refined every year since 2013. Pricing also covers real customer support from real people, not a bot. The business and executive editions add features on top of the core planner. Compare them on the shop pages.

Why invest in the Business or Executive edition?

These editions include professional development tools that organizations often pay hundreds of dollars a year for, including the CRM and sales toolkit and a one page business plan. There is also a full content and communications planner for teams building an online marketing strategy.

The executive series also includes a 30 minute one on one session with creator Branden Bodendorfer.

Do I need a new planner every year?

Yes. Think of it like a paper planner made digital: each year you purchase the new edition. The dates change, and every year we also add features and update pages.

Which file do I choose from my downloads?

PDF purchases include more than one file so you can pick the layout that fits your device.

Is there a portrait and a landscape version?

Yes. Every PDF purchase automatically includes both the portrait and the landscape version as two separate files, and you keep both.

Try both, then commit to one for the year. Because they are separate files, notes you write in one do not carry over to the other, so switching mid year splits your planner in two.
Do you offer refunds?

Yes, within the terms of our published policy.

Getting started

Which planner should I go with, PDF or OneNote?

It comes down to which app you are already comfortable in. OneNote is strongest if you live in Microsoft 365 on Windows. The PDF version is strongest on iPad, Android, and e-ink tablets.

How do I install my planner?
How do I get started with digital planning?

Work through the Get Started Guide. It walks you from a blank planner to a working weekly rhythm.

On how many devices can I sync my planner?

It depends on the app and the storage service you sync through.

Can I type in my planner, or do I need a stylus?

You can type. A stylus or Apple Pencil is optional, not required.

Does the planner integrate with Google Calendar?

Yes. You can bring your calendar alongside your planner in OneNote, on iPad, and in GoodNotes.

Is the Key2Success Planner the same in OneNote and PDF?

The content is the same. The pages, subject matter, and system are identical. The only difference is how you navigate: the PDF versions have built in hyperlinks, while OneNote navigation runs through the app itself or through a hyperlinked version upgrade.

OneNote

How do I install the planner in OneNote?

Follow the OneNote import guide, and make sure you are using a supported browser when you import the notebook.

How do I extract my ZIP file?

Usually you do not need extra software. On Windows 7 and newer, right click the file and choose Extract All. If you have WinZip installed and it is getting in the way, uninstall it. If you do want a free tool, WinRAR works.

If you use WinZip, you can ignore its prompt to pay. You do not need it to extract the planner.
Can I share my OneNote planner with someone else?
Can I add pages to my OneNote planner?

Yes. Add as many pages and sections as you want. It is your notebook.

How do I get text in OneNote to align on Windows?
  • Hold ALT while dragging the text box so you can place it freely.
  • Set the font size to 11 point.
  • Use the system font Calibri.
Error: this file does not appear to be a OneNote file

This error means you are opening the notebook with OneNote for Windows 10. Open it with the OneNote desktop application instead, or use install method 2 from the guide. Either way, the notebook folder cannot still be inside a ZIP file when you open it.

OneNote error message reading that the file does not appear to be a OneNote file
Error: sorry, we cannot open this section due to a problem with its content

Delete the notebook and re-import it. A clean re-install usually clears this.

Error: we could not open this section

Check these three things, in order:

  1. You are using OneNote for Windows 10 instead of the desktop app.
  2. Your OneDrive is full.
  3. Your file was never extracted. Right click the ZIP and choose Extract.
I need help with OneNote itself, not the planner

For questions about the OneNote application, Microsoft support is the fastest path.

GoodNotes

How do I install the planner in GoodNotes?
My GoodNotes hyperlinks are not working. What can I do?

Work through these four in order. One of them fixes it almost every time.

  1. Links only work in Reading mode. Tap the icon with a stroke through the pen at the top center of the menu to switch into it.
  2. Force quit GoodNotes, then restart your device.
  3. Scroll to a different page, such as the month at a view page, and tap a dated link there.
  4. Give it a few hours. Hyperlinks can misbehave while GoodNotes is still syncing.
Can I add pages to my GoodNotes planner?

Yes. Add pages anywhere you need them.

Can I search my handwriting in GoodNotes?

Yes. GoodNotes recognizes handwritten notes and makes them searchable.

Devices and other apps

What is the best setup for my Onyx Boox with the planner?
Will the planner work in Supernote?

Yes, the PDF version works on Supernote.

Will the planner work in Notability?

Yes, the PDF version works in Notability.

Training and resources

Where can I find Branden's YouTube tutorials?

Every setup walkthrough, device review, and planning tutorial lives on the channel.

Will you be adding more training?

Yes, regularly. Subscribing on YouTube is the easiest way to catch new tutorials as they publish.

Email support
Still stuck

Email us and a real person answers

No ticket maze and no bot. If the answer is not on this page, we want to hear about it, because that is how this page gets better.

Include these four things and we can usually fix it in one reply

  • The email address you used at checkout, or your order number.
  • Which planner and year you bought (for example, 2026 Executive, PDF).
  • Your app and device (for example, GoodNotes on iPad, or OneNote on Windows 11).
  • A screenshot of what you are seeing, especially for error messages.

Without those, the first reply is usually us asking for them, which costs you a day.
