This planner was created to give you the experience of a full planner in one digital file.

Below, I will outline what you’ll find in each section.

Hyperlinked Tabs Include:

  • Home (Cover)

  • Templates
  • Stickers
  • Custom Sections 1–5
  • Index
  • Months of the Year (January–December)

Index

The index is where you can find a link to most every page (just not every weekly). This is important if you want to get to the beginning of the year and end of year pages.

Cover & Perpetual Calendars

When you open the planner, you land on the cover, which serves as your Home hub. In the first section, you’ll also find two spreads with perpetual calendars: January–June and July–December.

These make it easy to reference dates at a glance without switching apps like Google Calendar or Apple Calendar. It’s easy to find important dates like birthdates, anniversaries, etc if you add them to the perpetual calendars.

Yearly Planning Pages

To help you map out your year, set big-picture personal goals, and reflect on your progress, the planner includes:

  • Yearly Goals (five dedicated sections)
  • Yearly Habit Tracker
  • Yearly Vision Board
  • End of Year Review

These sections are perfect for the new year, the academic year, or a fresh start at any time.

Monthly & Weekly Planning Sections (January–December)

Each month has its own hyperlinked mini-planner, which includes:

  • Monthly Overview
  • Monthly Calendar
  • Monthly Notes section 
  • Six Weekly Planner Pages
  • Blank Section 1 
  • Blank Section 2

The structure repeats for every month so you can plan your entire year with ease. The blank sections give you lots of customization options so that you can add whatever is important to you for monthly planning such as meal planning, workout planner, work planning pages, etc. 

The monthly pages include a to do, important, and monthly focus sections at the bottom under the calendar. Each day in the calendar is hyperlinked to the corresponding weekly weekly page.

The weekly planner pages are designed with a dashboard layout so you have plenty of white space for to-do lists, daily tasks, appointments, reminders, and top priorities.

Each weekly page includes a quick to do in the upper left corner with a slot for each day of the week where you can add major weekly to dos for each day of the week or to use as a meal planner. Then, there is a blank rectangle with large space for each day of the week for you to add in whatever notes you need for each day.

You’ll get ten lined note pages (Notes 1–10), all hyperlinked from the main notes page hub. They work beautifully as a digital notebook space for your specific needs such as brain dumps, task lists, class notes, important information, reading lists, project ideas, or daily planning notes.

Five Custom Hyperlinked Sections

This planner includes Custom 1–5 so you can create your own sections. Under the index there is a palce where you can write in the name for each section.

What I Use for Digital Planning

My favorite app is the Goodnotes app. It’s the program I use with my own digital planner and digital notebooks. I use an iPad Pro with an Apple pencil. Using some sort of stylus like an Apple Pencil is honestly a must with digital planning. 

iPad users aren’t the only ones who can use digital planning apps. If you work with Android Devices, you can use these free files, too. There are plenty of options for apps on Android tablets that will accept hyperlinked PDFs, too. 

How to Use This Free Portrait Digital Planner

  1. Download the planner file
  2. Import the interactive PDF file into your digital planning app (Goodnotes, Notability, etc.)
  3. Tap any hyperlinked tab for instant navigation
  4. Write directly on the planner pages with your stylus
  5. Add digital stickers, images, or template add-ons if you want more customization

Because the planner includes blank pages and open sections, you can set it up like a bullet journal, an academic planner, a daily planner, or a life planner with habit trackers and to-do lists.

A Flexible All-in-One Digital Planner

This digital planner provides a structured format without limiting how you use it. Whether you want to track progress on personal projects, manage class schedules, organize home routines, or follow your daily life with mindfulness, this planner supports a wide variety of planning needs. With custom sections, it truly is a customizable digital planner because you can add sections for anything you’d like. 

There is no such thing as a perfect planner – finding planner peace can be difficult for people. But with digital planners, you can erase and modify your planner as the year goes on and your needs change.
