Learn How To Add Tabs To Your Digital Planner

Are you tired of scrolling endlessly through your digital planner to find the right section? Do you wish there was a fun and creative way to organize your planner digitally? Well, look no further! In this blog post, I'll show you how to create eye-catching tabs for your digital planner using the versatile design tool, Canva.

 

 Why Tabs?

Tabs are not just practical; they're also visually appealing! They help you quickly navigate through your digital planner, making it easier to find exactly what you're looking for. Plus, adding tabs can add a touch of personalization and flair to your planner, making it uniquely yours.

Getting Started with Canva

First things first, if you haven't already, sign up for a Canva account. Don't worry; it's free and super easy to use. Once you're logged in, navigate to the "Create a design" section and select "Custom dimensions." For digital planners, a standard size like 1000x1500 pixels works well, but feel free to adjust according to your preferences.

Designing Your Tabs

Now comes the fun part – designing your tabs! Canva offers a plethora of design elements, from shapes and icons to colors and fonts. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating your tabs:

1. Choose a Shape: Select a shape for your tab. Rectangles, rounded rectangles, and triangles work best for tabs, but feel free to get creative!

2. Add Text: Use Canva's text tool to add labels to your tabs. Whether it's "Monthly," "Weekly," "Goals," or "To-Do," make sure your labels are clear and easy to read.

3. Customize: Play around with colors, fonts, and sizes to make your tabs visually appealing. You can also add icons or illustrations to make them even more fun!

4. Duplicate: Once you're happy with your first tab, duplicate it to create additional tabs for different sections of your planner.

Organizing Your Tabs

Now that you've designed your tabs, it's time to organize them in your digital planner. Here's how:

1. Download Your Tabs: Download each tab as a separate image file from Canva.

2. Insert Tabs into Your Planner: Open your digital planner in your preferred editing software (such as GoodNotes or Notability) and insert the tab images onto the desired pages.

3. Arrange and Resize: Arrange your tabs along the side or bottom of your planner pages and resize them as needed to fit your layout.

4. Link Your Tabs: Most digital planner apps allow you to link pages, so you can easily jump from one section to another with just a tap. Simply link each tab to the corresponding page in your planner.

Final Touches!

Once you've added your tabs to your digital planner, take a moment to admire your handiwork! You now have a beautifully organized planner that's both practical and stylish. Feel free to experiment with different designs and layouts until you find what works best for you.
