5 Ways to Use a Digital Planner to Simplify Your Life (and Actually Stick With It)
Share
Spoiler: It's more than just a to-do list.
Let’s be real — planners are cute, but they’re only life-changing if you actually use them. That’s why digital planners (especially hyperlinked ones 😏) are kind of a game-changer.
Here at Yours Truly Shirley, we believe planning should feel like a treat, not a chore. So here are 5 creative ways to use your digital planner to not only organize your day… but your whole life.
1. 🧠 Brain Dump When You’re Overthinking
We all get stuck in that overwhelmed, “I have 47 tabs open in my brain” feeling. Use the brain dump section to clear your head without judgment. No order, no filter. Just get it all out — and then organize.
✨ Shirley Tip: Try a weekly brain dump every Sunday night while sipping something cozy. Thank us later.
2. 💧 Track Your Habits (Without the Guilt Trip)
Whether it’s water intake, sleep, mood, or workouts — tracking helps you notice patterns, not just check boxes. Use the built-in habit trackers to see what’s working and where you might need a little reset.
✨ Real talk: You don’t have to be perfect — you just have to be aware.
3. 🥗 Plan Your Meals + Grocery List in One Place
Meal planning doesn’t have to be a 3-hour Pinterest spiral. Our planner includes meal plan pages, recipe cards, and space for your grocery list. Way easier than flipping between five different apps at the store.
4. ✈️ Use the Trip Planner for Vacay and Staycay
Planning a vacation? Or maybe just organizing a weekend to chill and not burn out? Use the trip planner pages to map out itineraries, budgets, packing lists — or just a “do absolutely nothing” weekend agenda.
5. 💰 Keep Your Finances in Check
Budgeting doesn’t have to be boring. Our finance trackers help you stay on top of spending, savings, subscriptions, and business expenses — in a way that’s visual and satisfying (you know, like grown-up color coding).
🖇️ Bonus: Make It Yours
You can edit and personalize the planner in Canva, so it actually feels like it fits your life. Add your name, favorite colors, or even cute icons and stickers. Shirley says you deserve pretty things and peace of mind.
