How to use the tabs and links in your planner

Every tab, date and contents entry in your planner is a link to another page in the same file. Once you know the loop below, you'll never scroll through hundreds of pages again.

You'll need

  • Your planner open in GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes or another PDF note app

Step by step

  1. 1

    Start on the contents page

    The contents page lists every month and section. Each entry is a link.

  2. 2

    Turn off the pen first

    Note apps follow links only when you're not writing. Use read-only or view mode, or tap with a finger if only your stylus writes.

  3. 3

    Tap a month tab

    The tabs down the side of every page jump straight to that month or section.

  4. 4

    Tap a week or a date

    On a month page, tap a week to open its weekly page.

  5. 5

    Open a day

    On the week, tap a day's heading to open its daily page, if your planner has them.

  6. 6

    Jump to a section

    Section tabs, like habits or budget, open the first page of that section from anywhere.

  7. 7

    Go back to Home

    The links at the top of each page take you back to the contents, the year and your goals.

  8. 8

    Switch the pen back on

    When you're on the page you want, turn the pen back on and write.

Tapping draws a dot?

That means the pen was active. Undo the dot, switch to read-only or view mode, and tap again.
