How to use Daily Notes as a Planner

A planner is a must if you want to stay sane and organized. It’s a great life management tool that enables you to keep track of your day by taking note of your appointments, events, tasks and more. Franklin Planners are a classic sample of such a powerful amenity, letting you also add your notes.

You might be fond of your planner but maybe, you’re now looking for a modern version, an app with some similar features, that you can use both on your iPhone and iPad devices. You can actually turn Daily Notes into that beloved, classic time management tool.

Here are some ways of turning Daily Notes into your very own Planner.

1. Create multiple sections.
Daily Notes has Tabs, which acts as sections, similar to a Planner. In these Tabs, you can sort and keep your notes, photos, even PDF attachments, sketches and voice recordings. Set up multiple Tabs for the different aspect of your life: Work, Personal, Projects, Workshops and more. You can even set up a Tab for your Master Tasks lists. You can also have a Tab for Addresses and Contact Information, just like a Planner.

2. Create tasks lists.
For each folder or Tab for this matter, you can create a Tasks list. Say you have Work Tab, you can add to-do lists there such as file invoice, meetup with client, etc. If you have a Personal Tab, you can add tasks such as pay bills, pick up laundry & more. You can check finished or pending Tasks right on Daily Notes.

From there, insert the pictures, write something on them if you want and save them as an image attachment to your notes.

7. Quickly find notes.
You can also make your Daily Notes-turned-Planner so much easier to manage by tagging notes.

  1. i would like to know if you can import contacts or do you mean create a tab called contacts and just write in your contacts individually?

    • Hi Mary, it’s the latter. You can create a Tab and type in your contacts there. You can categorise your contacts and tag them so you can easily find which is which. Hope that helps and hope you’ll find Daily Notes helpful for your daily needs.

  2. Does your site have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but,
    I’d like to shoot you an e-mail. I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be
    interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it
    improve over time.
