If you’ve ever stood in the stationery aisle clutching a pretty paper planner… but also love the idea of planning on your iPad with just a tap—you’re not alone. The planner world is beautifully divided between paper purists and digital devotees.
So, which one’s right for you? Let’s break it down and help you decide (and yes, we’ll be gently nudging you toward the magic of going digital ✨
The Case for Paper Planners 📝
The Pros:
✅ Tangible and tactile—there’s something satisfying about writing things down by hand.
✅ Doesn’t require batteries or apps—just a pen and some peace and quiet.
✅ Can be a creative outlet—great for doodling, bullet journaling, and decorating.
The Cons:
❌ Once it’s written, it’s written—no “undo” button.
❌ Limited space—you can’t duplicate pages or move sections easily.
❌ Bulky to carry around, especially if you love those big hardcover planners.
❌ Can’t be backed up—lose it, and it’s gone.
The Case for Digital Planners 💻
Now let’s talk about digital planners—my personal favorite! 💖
The Pros:
✅ Reusable forever—no need to buy a new one each year.
✅ Hyperlinked & interactive—quickly jump between months, weeks, or sections.
✅ Customizable—duplicate pages, change layouts, and personalize to your heart’s content.
✅ Portable—take your planner anywhere on your tablet or phone.
✅ Eco-friendly—no paper, no waste, and guilt-free planning!
✅ Works beautifully with apps like GoodNotes, Notability, Xodo, and more.
✅ Add digital stickers, photos, checklists, and even handwriting.
The Cons:
❌ Requires a device and stylus (but most people already have these).
❌ Learning curve if you’re brand new to digital planning (but totally worth it).
So… Which One’s Right for You?
If you love the feel of pen on paper, don’t mind carrying a notebook, and enjoy the analog vibe—paper planning might be your thing.
But if you’re looking for something more flexible, fun, customizable, and clutter-free—then a digital planner is the way to go. It’s perfect for busy entrepreneurs, moms, students, or anyone who wants to stay organized without the bulk.
