How to Start Digital Planning with OneNote Digital Planner

[@StanPerret]

Found your page while searching for an easy-to-use Onenote planner to use in my day-to-day productivity. I am a pastor in Mississippi and I will tell you, that your planner is a blessing. I have it set up, with autostart as soon as I start my laptop. Keep up the great work and the explanations given in your video were spot-on and easy to follow.

Just purchased your 2023/2022 personal planner. Using it with my surface pro (and syncing with desktop and phone). Already loving it. I WAS writing notes on papers all over the place, a physical planner etc. It was becoming a nightmare to keep everything together as it needs to be, and importantly, to have access to my notes and planner when im not physically holding these papers. A digital planner + notebook like this is gamechanger for me. To newbies, I always found OneNote to be overwhelming. It provides basically a clean slate, which can actually be counter productive. This product has streamlined my focus quite a bit, and is still customizable (eg i added a full tab for blank sketches in the notebook, important for brainstorming).

OneNote is so versatile. I’ve got the 2023 planner for OneNote and I usually copy in additional note pages onto the meeting template - The great thing with OneNote is you could just write off to the side of Branden’s template if you run out of space in a pinch; I find adding an additional set of blank note pages to the meeting to work well as it keeps it all consistent

[@bodendorfer]

And you can also place tiles on the pages as well

[@DanielHarrisCodes]

@@bodendorfer love tiles for custom layouts comes in really handy and a great addition to the product

I really liked how you explained the difference between a OneNote planner versus a pdf planner. I have been wavering between the type for a couple of years, but you may have just convinced me! I am such a OneNote geek, this gives me a sense of joy thinking about the new year!

[@jamesalexander110]

I was having difficulty downloading the planner -- User Error!! They jumped in, accessed my desktop remotely, and fixed the issues right away. That Techie thing. Really looking forward to the Key2Success planner as my productivity system

[@johnkasza3893]

Long time Franklin Planner person here. I really like how this is set up and design to move from paper to digital. Thanks a bunch for clarifying the OneNote app vs the pdf apps. Very clear and informative. Looking forward to trying this.

[@dhd951]

Thank you, Branden. Very informative. I was a Franklin Planner User; I am going to commit to this year using the digital version you created. I need some of the business but now see the personal program being a good fit. Going to watch so more videos.

[@finallykeywest7470]

Have you used this for this past year? I’m a die hard Franklin Covey planner user. But this is very intriguing curious how it compares to Franklin.

[@adamkreuz9068]

I had a Franklin Planner and I barely used it, I'm more of a digital user. Realized the other day I just have piles of notebooks filled with notes, I need to fix this. Work gave us Surface Pros and One Note so might as well use it. I'll have to pick up your planner, looks very useful

[@bodendorfer]

Your statement is so true for so many. Myself included. You’ll find the search features of your notes very healthful.

[@itzjustkay1972]

Thank you. This is so informative. I already have the One Note app on my phone and want to expand the usage for my desktop(Windows). Looking for a simple digital planner for now. Appreciated. New Subscriber here!!!

[@claugheo]

Hi Brandon. Thank you for the tips. Where I can download the planer? It is is very helpful orgsniser and notes taken . Thanks.

[@bodendorfer]

That is awesome to hear! The planner is on my website: OneNote Planner Shop: bit.ly/3yRtjKl

[@RenaldoEpps]

Can't wait to see this. I have my notifications on.

[@bodendorfer]

What do you think?

[@RenaldoEpps]

@@bodendorferIt was great I truly enjoyed it. Can't wait to try out tiles. My only wish is the times lots would be twenty four hours. Many business professionals now work in other time zones so a calendar with 24 hours would be great.

[@bodendorfer]

Well, we will have 24 hours!!! We are working on a tile that you will be able to use!

[@pinkypie9119]

I work in sales, I just want a planner that I can sync with my outlook calendar and appointments. Also something to help with goal tracking.

[@bodendorfer]

I highly suggest you watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2O9hIWufq5giqc Also I think you should look at our CRM Toolkit. It will help you with your closure rate. brandenbodendorfer.com/digital-planner-crm-sales-toolkit-now-available/

[@artesantiagoruiz313]

Excelente, saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

[@joplingirl2]

I think the tiles are the best addition yet!! Can't wait to try them. One question - I usually type on the planner using my laptop but I haven't figured out how to get the typed lines to line up on the lines of the pages. Is there a specific font and size that works or other tip I may have missed? I might be a bit OCD!

[@bodendorfer]

It for sure is one of the coolest things we have done. The possibilities are endless as we start to move into future editions of the planner. As for your question about typing. Yes you can type in the planner and we have a video that shows you how to get your text to align with the lines. Its pretty easy. Take a look. brandenbodendorfer.com/how-to-turn-off-snap-to-grid-in-onenote/

[@DavidHernandezLovesYou]

Does your program offer a convert handwriting to text feature?

[@bodendorfer]

Yes using OneNote you can convert the handwritten notes to text. You can do this in a number of other applications that our planner supports.

[@DavidHernandezLovesYou]

I want pages for journals. How many journals would I be able to use with the personal?

[@johnmccracken6497]

Brandon, between GoodNotes and OneNote, which do you personally prefer?

[@bodendorfer]

John - That is a tough question for me to answer, however you did ask me what I personally prefer. The answer to that is OneNote, as it offers me the ability to view my planner across windows, apple and android devices, including the e-ink onxy boox. I find that in the windows environment, I have all the features I would expect, and I lose some of that in the apple UI, which I am find with. When I look at goodnotes and OneNote just on an Apple ecosystem, Goodnotes has more to offer in features, but OneNote still gives me the hyperlinks and infinite canvas. If you are having a hard time choosing, go with the onenote version and email us your order number, we will gift you the goodnotes version of our planner. Then you can tell us what you prefer.

[@slindsey1230]

Thank you for the extensive review. Very helpful. Curious...Does the planner come with stickers to decorate it? I didn't see anything like that, but just curious. :-)

[@bodendorfer]

The planner doesn’t come with stickers. However you can easily import stickers that you file that you like. We are in the process of building tiles that will act like business stickers in the planner, to help you be able to customize your layouts and develop your own templates.

[@DanielReed-hu3ny]

Once I purchase the planner.... How do I get it in One Note.? Is it automatic?

[@bodendorfer]

You will receive a download with instructions on how to open the notebook within OneNote. 4 steps. We have walkthrough videos.

[@abchappell01]

Does this digital planner synchronize over multiple devices such as PC,tablet, and phone?

[@bodendorfer]

Yes it does!!! You can use our planner with OneNote and sync it across all of your devices.

@@bodendorfer hi thank you! Why don't the planners look the same on all devices? I followed your video to set up One note on computer, but my phone and surface all look different.

[@mw75012]

HI Branden, I just dropped you an email. The manual inputs and dates suddenly appeared very big on my iPhone and there is obviously now a sync issue. Is this due to some new version of OneNote that led to incompatibility issues with your product? Can you kindly advise as my calendar input on my iPhone now appears very big relative to your calendar templates. Please advice, thanks.

[@bodendorfer]

I replied to your email. The planner would not effect this. This could be an accessibility setting that you enabled on your end. The planner itself does not have any relationship with the software.

[@mw75012]

​@@bodendorferMy entire set up is based on syncing between my iPhone and PC. I tried everything, from reinstalling OneNote on my iPhone and PC, to clearing the credentials. There is a very serious bug which is affecting the use of your templates. I have decided to stop using your templates because such a setback is quite unacceptable, and the amount of IT support I get from you is really non-existent.

[@bodendorfer]

@@mw75012 You are welcome to jump on our website and start a chat with us. We offer a remote support solution. I can promise you that there is no relationship being our planner and what you are experiencing. It has to be something that is local to your machine and system preferences.

[@dr.dineshkadam]

Your website not working properly can't open after 20 minutes also.how to purchase that and is there any such a problem in your personal planner. I hv an doubt on that so give demo of personal planner for a month.

[@bodendorfer]

hello - Give us an email [e-mail] - We actually just had a mass mailing go out so we have a lot of traffic. It should solve within the hour.

[@earlhamil731]

My biggest issue to be solve is integrating multiple calendars in one place and making the combination interactive. I have a Google calendar for personal and outlook for consulting company. I want to see a combined calendar so I have one place to see everything schedule things and them go back to the sources etc.

[@bodendorfer]

To start a discussion about electronic scheduling. How are you able to actually plan those activities. I am a firm believer that you either eliminate electronic scheduling or it becomes a secondary calendar. Take a few minutes each day to sync up.

What are you looking to review? I am not sure I understand your question.

[@phunt1769]

I was told that one note is being retired by Microsoft. Is that correct?

[@dukedavis736]

From what I have seen Microsoft just combined OneNote and OneNote 10. So moving forward on Microsoft 365 is is just “OneNote”.
