I've looked a dozen tutorials and was just about to give up and wing it BUT your tutorial saved me the heartache and time! Thank you for your detailed yet simple explanation!
I loved this. It took me a few times of watching. 🙄 By far the BEST keynote tutorial for a digital planner. Trust me. I probably watched too many and got confused. I came back here and was able to understand the master slides which is truly the secret weapon. I split screened RUclips and Keynote on my iPad and that helped as well. Thanks Genevieve!
thank you so much for this! I needed to learn this. I got tired of looking for a digital planner that works for me -- not for anyone else - but just for me. And more often than not, I would just settle for whatever I can find online. Watching your video was such a treasure, lifesaver, and oh so educational. I've had my macbook for about a year and a half now, and I'm not a student so I haven't explored much of keynote AT ALL. I literally had to pause, play, pause, play again while watching your video. I had no idea keynote could do this. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this! Sending love from the Philippines!
This is EXACTLY what inspired me to make this video!! I was so tired of buying planner to "make them work for me" when the truth is that no one BUT me could do that!! I hope you found your planner peace!!
This was an excellent tutorial, I managed to follow it even though I was using Keynote on my iPad! Everything thoroughly explained but far from boring! Thank you x
I am speechless. I have watched so many tutorials and you just took my skills to another level. I am starting a new planner from scratch right now. Thank you!!
I was having a little issue with my design and I was searching YT, this video hands down is the best video ever!!!! You should really start a class you would be a great instructor. Thanks so much for this video 💛
I was looking for a digital planner to purchase. I SOOOO love this tutorial. Thank you so much for the valuable information I have created quite the planner. I worked as I watched so this 20 min was about a day for me but it was so worth it. I learned how to do it. I had already copied the master and put on the things there before you said it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this. This is the BEST one i've seen so far. I started designing them on my iPad and then moved to my computer and it's 100x faster on my laptop. The problem I ran into was all of the tutorials for this was on how to make this on the iPad. You make this so much easier and you did it all in less than 20 minutes. Thanks again.
Wow, this is SO helpful! Thank you! I clearly made a planner the hard way before. I really struggled when I needed to change something either due to updating or finding a small error. Using the MASTER slides will totally save me so much time and frustration as I start working on my next calendar. Thank you.
Teacher Karen I started out making them the hard way too and would get SO frustrated when I wanted to make a tiny change and would end up having to change ninety slides! This video was born out of necessity for the sake of my sanity 😂🖤🖤
Hi! I also have to say that your instructions are so helpful. I actually purchased a linked customizable planner last night and I could not figure out wth was happening for hours even after asking the seller so many questions. I wanted to cry and finally gave up realizing I’m working way too hard to not be using my own design and customization. Thank gd I came across your video and I started creating my own original planner, thanks to you! I’m so impressed that I finally can make sense of it all. You’re a really great instructor.
You nailed it. "I’m working way too hard to not be using my own design and customization.". SO MUCH THIS!!!! I hope you'll share pics of your final design!!
So you can have a different master for each “type” (weekly, daily, finance, etc) of page? Any limits to how many masters? Holy Cow!! My mind is blown 🤯!!!! Thank you SO SO MUCH! ❤️
You are very welcome! I haven't run into a limit yet but I don't think I've had more than six masters. I know keynote shows like 10 or 12 customizable options.
Such an AWESOME tutorial!! Has helped me so much with a student planner that I was making for my daughter. Best one by far and I’ve viewed several. Lol!! Thank you!! New subbie!!
Guuurrrrrrrlllllll! You just made my day!!! I’m new to this and believe me I’ve wanted to give up cause going thru slide by slide is no fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Using an iPad requires patience. I’m currently watching it and doing it on my iPad. It’s a little easier for me because I have a keyboard and a pencil. You should try it still before she does a video
Wow! this was very Helpful!!!! Thank you! I was doing my planners the long way before your video. I use them for my personal use only. As I love changing them all the time and this will help me do just that!! Thank you so much! I've subscribed and liked :)
Thank you so much for the generosity of sharing your knowledge! Everything you taught is very useful! Thank you for such detailed explanations! Greetings from Brasil!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am now going to give it a go myself. I had tried previously but I had too many masters, you have made it so much simpler. Thanks 😊
This is absolutely amazing - I have got as far as creating the 6 tabs (only doing 6 months at the moment) in Powerpoint (slightly different commands) and saved the template - going to have a break for now and then carry on. Thanks so much - have been wanting to do this for a long while
Thank you so much for this detailed instruction. I will be using this regularly and for other things too! I just having tested the week tabs, hoping they will work :)
Very nice! Even though I don't create on an Apple product, I could see how all of your steps easily translated over to Powerpoint. Thank you, it was very helpful! :-)
I HAD TO SUBSCRIBE! This was the easiest, most efficient "How to Make a Digital Planner..." tutorial there is! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I greatly appreciate how you stayed on topic and walked us through everything step-by-step without taking upwards of half an hour to an hour to get there (like most of the others out there). This was truly the best.
I was so proud of my self that I was able to follow your directions and make my own planner! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Do I put my stickers and other fun stuff in Keynote before I move it to GoodNotes or when it is in GoodNotes? I am having trouble being able to pull up my digital stickers I have made in Procreate or bought from Etsy for someone else.
The majority of people do all the fun stuff with stickers and text in Goodnotes. If you are saving them to your camera roll you will open your planner in Goodnotes and select the "photo" tool - its the one at the top that looks like a little photograph. Tap on your planner and your photo menu will pop up. If you have them saved in iCloud, Dropbox, or Drive everything its he same except at the last step you want to select "insert from" instead of tapping an image. Hope this helps!!
I was watching another tutorial about the whole making a digital planner and stop because I couldn't get how to make the rings. I went searching more videos and came across yours. Thank you so much for this tutorial it was very helpful.
This made my world! I'm having some issues with the links, but I'm sure that's not a you problem or your information. You are so awesome for making this video! I'll have to send you a link to mine.
Genevieve, thanks for this gr8 tutorial. You mentioned setting your custom size for the ipad, but if I were considering creating and offering to sell planners/journals, how do I determine the size to go with for potential customers, since screen sizes vary so? Or, will it resize appropriately on other systems? Thank You in advance for your response.
@@genevievemazer keynote just crashes ,without any specific error message,it just closes .Maybe I should have mentioned before that I put the daily pages too so it got to be a lot bigger
Thank you so much for your tutorial, it is so very helpful. I am stuck though. lol I don't have an iPad so I am using my MacBook. I have my pages and all my links connected. I export it as a PDF however when I open it up in Goodnotes or in Procreate( I sent it to my MIL to try) none of the links work in fact in Procreate it won't even open. Can you help me with that. I have searched and searched for answers and havent found any yet.
Clittle I did the entire creation on my MacBook. Procreate isn’t a PDF annotation app so it won’t read PDFs at all. Alternatives to GoodNotes are Xodo, MetaMoJi, ZoomNotes. Not all will recognize links though. Make sure you read the fine print on the app screen! In GoodNotes you need to make sure that your tools are turned off. There is an icon on the top right that turns off your pen, eraser, etc and when that is active the links become available, I hope that helps!
@@paigeadams5320 If you're using it in goodnotes you have to either long-press where the link is and select "open link" from the menu that pops up or you have to turn off they stylus tool using the little pen icon on the top right that looks like it has a swirl around it
Great video! How did you know what dimensions to put in? I see you have the iPad pro 11, but I'm wondering how you figured out the numbers. I have an iPad air 10.5
@@genevievemazer Please help me understand what you mean by the default settings? For my macbook? Or for my ipad air 10.5? I am using keynote on my macbook to make the planner for my ipad air 2019 in goodnotes. Thanks so much in advance!
Thank you so much!!!! This is an amazing instructional video! I appreciate you so much! If I created a different format (like started with a cover and then just had like a one page spread) it would work the same way, correct? Thank you again! I am just learning all this and THIS was the video that changed my understanding and helped me to see the actual reasoning behind each step. :)
All you need to do is export it as a PDF to, say, Google Drive, iCloud, etc and then in Goodnotes you tap the plus sign on the main page, select "Import" and then point to where you saved it
Wow what an amazing tutorial! I have been binge watching these planner tutorials all day and your tutorial is the easier and most ingenious way of doing it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Can I ask whether it’s possible to do this setup on my iPad keynote? I don’t have a Mac unfortunately 😢
Morning! Keynote still functions the same. As far as I am aware there are no major changes. This is Keynote for Mac, not iPad. Maybe that's the difference?
HAVe you considered teaching this on Udemy or Cousera? You explain in detail which is what I need. Thanks. I see so many people designing and putting them on Etsy. What a grand idea.
This video is super helpful thank you so much! If you want to make a planner with weeklies AND dailies there is no way to use master slides for dailies right? So I have to address every single day of the year to a certain slide myself?
Keynote has a grid option (I do it by making tables) but to my knowledge it doesn't have a dot grid option yet. So how I do it is to create a dot grid in Photoshop (you can do this in Affinity Photo too) and stick it on my master slide as I would any other shape. I hope they come out with a dot grid option soon!
Hi! Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing tutorial!!! SO much quicker. I am wondering if there is a way to use hand-drawn monthly and weekly spreads from procreate, rather than creating tables in keynote, but still have it be linkable (like from monthly spread to weekly when you click in that week...) Could I just put an invisible table on top of where the link should be? Thanks again!
Hi! It's super easy to do! Just create a shape (I usually do rectangles) and set it to No Fill and No Outline. In Keynote it will still look like a thin outline is there but that's just so you can see where your shapes are. If you hit the preview button they'll be invisible. Then you can just select the shape and Add Link (CMD+K). Voila!
So happy to have discovered your videos, Subscribed! Thank for your detailed explanation. Can you make a video on how to have the tabs show on left and right? Like when you flip the pages, the “back” of the tabs would begin to appear on the left side as if flipping through the pages.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Wondering what I am doing wrong... I added links for the weekly schedule as shown, but when I click on any other months other than January, the links take me to the same slides (13-17). What am I doing wrong? Please help! Thanks!
It’s difficult to guess without seeing it but if I had to I’d say that the order the slides were created is the problem. So for example if you created the links for slides 13-17 and then created February for example followed by copy/pasting the weekly slides they will still go where you told them to which is 13-17. If you wanted to create consecutive months that will change the links to match you need to copy the entire month including the weeks. If this didn’t make sense please send me an email or dm on Facebook and I can try to walk you through it.
HI 🙋🏽♀️ Thanks for the content. I have having a little issue when I export the Pdf in to Noteshelf. The hyperlinks work great. However when I tap on the screen to write with the pen the page turn to the next page. I noticed in another planner that I have purchase you need to swipe the page to turn the page. How to I get the planner I created to do the same swipe function to turn the page instead of just a tap with pen to turn?
Page flip orientation is a feature of Noteshelf. If you go to the little wrench tool on the top left when you are in the planner there will be an option for “Scrolling”. You can set it to horizontal or vertical. Also in the same menu is a “gestures” function. Check there for swipe abilities. Hope this helps! 🖤
Thank you! ❤️ I had a big problem though. When I imported the PDF into GoodNotes it was very very slow to load ... Took 10 secs per page to load!!! 😩 I sorted it out by reducing the file size of the pdf... phew! Question.... how can you add a title page without upsetting all the links????
Great Tutorial!! I do have a question though. Can this be used on the new Macbook Pros? I'm in college and use a Wacom trackpad with a stylus to write my notes. Is there a way for me to be able to make my own planner through keynote and continue to use it on the computer? I dont own an iPad or apple pencil. TIA!
It absolutely can! I have a Wacom tablet as well and the stylus works great with Goodnotes on my MacBook Pro 2020! Much easier than trying to use the trackpad, let me tell you!
@@genevievemazer ahhhhh thanks so much for your reply!! I've downloaded GoodNotes and am working on my planner right now! So excited. thanks again :)))
You "Export As" as a PDF file (I usually choose "best" quality). Then you can either upload it to your cloud storage (dropbox, Drive, etc) or airdrop it directly to your tablet. In your program you go to the main page (not in a document) and hit the + symbol and select "import"
In Keynote go to File -> Export -> PDF. Then save it where your Goodnotes app has access (cloud, dropbox, etc). In Goodnotes you select Import from the main screen (not inside a document). Navigate to your PDF and tap it. Goodnotes will do the rest!
I've looked a dozen tutorials and was just about to give up and wing it BUT your tutorial saved me the heartache and time! Thank you for your detailed yet simple explanation!
You are very welcome!!! 🖤
I have watched dozens of videos on how to get this basic set up, and this one is by far the easiest to follow!

Hi I LOVED this video.
1 question where do i get (buy) the rings for the digital planner?
I make them myself but you can find tons of them on Etsy!
Thanks for this! Super helpful!
How do I figure out what size slide to optimize for iPad 2018 (non-pro)?
The 4:3 aspect ratio works very well 🖤
This is a fantastic short cut, the only downside is you can't have tabs the change sides and you change pages but its worth it to create it quickly!
One way to get around that is to create your base planner in master slides and then just overlay the images you want on the individual slides

Thank you so much!!!! This is an amazing instructional video! I appreciate you so much! If I created a different format (like started with a cover and then just had like a one page spread) it would work the same way, correct? Thank you again! I am just learning all this and THIS was the video that changed my understanding and helped me to see the actual reasoning behind each step. :)
Where do you get your binder rings? Thanks for the video 😊♥️
I make them myself using Procreate 🖤
So helpful! Thank you!
This is a wonderful tutorial. Just what I was looking for. Thank you so much 😊. Would you mind helping get it downloaded to my good notes?
All you need to do is export it as a PDF to, say, Google Drive, iCloud, etc and then in Goodnotes you tap the plus sign on the main page, select "Import" and then point to where you saved it
Wow what an amazing tutorial! I have been binge watching these planner tutorials all day and your tutorial is the easier and most ingenious way of doing it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Can I ask whether it’s possible to do this setup on my iPad keynote? I don’t have a Mac unfortunately 😢
YES you absolutely can!! All of the functionality is there, its just a matter of learning the gestures vs the mouse clicks
Genevieve Mazer thank you so much!!
I am new to digital journaling. Is this an older version of the app? Do you have an updated video? Thank you.
Morning! Keynote still functions the same. As far as I am aware there are no major changes. This is Keynote for Mac, not iPad. Maybe that's the difference?
HAVe you considered teaching this on Udemy or Cousera? You explain in detail which is what I need. Thanks. I see so many people designing and putting them on Etsy. What a grand idea.
She really should. She did an awesome job.
Thank you so much , you tutorial was AWESOME!
Thank you!!
Thank you! So easy to follow!
Thank you for watching!!
This video is super helpful thank you so much! If you want to make a planner with weeklies AND dailies there is no way to use master slides for dailies right? So I have to address every single day of the year to a certain slide myself?
oODaraOo There IS a new way to do this that I’ve discovered. Video incoming soon!
Genevieve Mazer omg I can’t wait this has been bugging me for a long time!!!
Very good .... Thanks
Seriously the best video ever for creating a digital planner! How do you create dot grid to mimic the pages in my branded paper notebook?
Keynote has a grid option (I do it by making tables) but to my knowledge it doesn't have a dot grid option yet. So how I do it is to create a dot grid in Photoshop (you can do this in Affinity Photo too) and stick it on my master slide as I would any other shape. I hope they come out with a dot grid option soon!
Hi! Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing tutorial!!! SO much quicker. I am wondering if there is a way to use hand-drawn monthly and weekly spreads from procreate, rather than creating tables in keynote, but still have it be linkable (like from monthly spread to weekly when you click in that week...) Could I just put an invisible table on top of where the link should be? Thanks again!
Hi! It's super easy to do! Just create a shape (I usually do rectangles) and set it to No Fill and No Outline. In Keynote it will still look like a thin outline is there but that's just so you can see where your shapes are. If you hit the preview button they'll be invisible. Then you can just select the shape and Add Link (CMD+K). Voila!
Genevieve Mazer awesome!!! thank you so much!!!
where were you able to find binder rings?
I make them myself in Procreate and Photoshop
@@genevievemazer How do you make them? can you make a video on this?
@@yesheniazuniga903 I have a video here with a free template to make them in Procreate
The best tutorial I have seen on making a digital planner
I have a question, can I make it in the iPad app?
Absolutely! All of the same functionality is there as well 🖤
@@genevievemazer Thank you, you have a new subscriber
Thank you!! 🖤🖤
So happy to have discovered your videos, Subscribed! Thank for your detailed explanation. Can you make a video on how to have the tabs show on left and right? Like when you flip the pages, the “back” of the tabs would begin to appear on the left side as if flipping through the pages.
I think I can come up with something
@@genevievemazer That would be awesome!! Thanks!
Would this work for the iPad mini. I bought one to be portable, I don't want to carry a large iPad with me. The mini fits in a purse!
It certainly does! I have an iPad mini 5 that works flawlessly!
Thank you for this! I should have found this weeks ago ;-)
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Wondering what I am doing wrong... I added links for the weekly schedule as shown, but when I click on any other months other than January, the links take me to the same slides (13-17). What am I doing wrong? Please help! Thanks!
It’s difficult to guess without seeing it but if I had to I’d say that the order the slides were created is the problem. So for example if you created the links for slides 13-17 and then created February for example followed by copy/pasting the weekly slides they will still go where you told them to which is 13-17. If you wanted to create consecutive months that will change the links to match you need to copy the entire month including the weeks. If this didn’t make sense please send me an email or dm on Facebook and I can try to walk you through it.
HI 🙋🏽♀️
Thanks for the content. I have having a little issue when I export the Pdf in to Noteshelf. The hyperlinks work great. However when I tap on the screen to write with the pen the page turn to the next page. I noticed in another planner that I have purchase you need to swipe the page to turn the page. How to I get the planner I created to do the same swipe function to turn the page instead of just a tap with pen to turn?
Page flip orientation is a feature of Noteshelf. If you go to the little wrench tool on the top left when you are in the planner there will be an option for “Scrolling”. You can set it to horizontal or vertical. Also in the same menu is a “gestures” function. Check there for swipe abilities. Hope this helps! 🖤
Perfect for what I need!
You are amazing! Thanks for the tips !
Sandrine Piou Absolutely! I hope this helps!
Thank you! ❤️ I had a big problem though. When I imported the PDF into GoodNotes it was very very slow to load ... Took 10 secs per page to load!!! 😩 I sorted it out by reducing the file size of the pdf... phew! Question.... how can you add a title page without upsetting all the links????
Annette Louwen Adding pages shouldn’t upset the links at all. Keynote recognizes a new page and adjusts the links accordingly 🖤
Great Tutorial!! I do have a question though. Can this be used on the new Macbook Pros? I'm in college and use a Wacom trackpad with a stylus to write my notes. Is there a way for me to be able to make my own planner through keynote and continue to use it on the computer? I dont own an iPad or apple pencil. TIA!
It absolutely can! I have a Wacom tablet as well and the stylus works great with Goodnotes on my MacBook Pro 2020! Much easier than trying to use the trackpad, let me tell you!
@@genevievemazer ahhhhh thanks so much for your reply!! I've downloaded GoodNotes and am working on my planner right now! So excited. thanks again :)))
How do you upload this planner template to GoodNotes or a comparable app?
You "Export As" as a PDF file (I usually choose "best" quality). Then you can either upload it to your cloud storage (dropbox, Drive, etc) or airdrop it directly to your tablet. In your program you go to the main page (not in a document) and hit the + symbol and select "import"
Omg bless you! Thank you so much. where did you get the rings? :)
I make them myself using Procreate 🖤
Thank you! How do you zoom in and zoom out in keynote, like you do in your video. It look so easy, but I don't know how. Thanks!
Just pinch! Works on the iPad or on the MacBook trackpad 🖤
@@genevievemazer Thank you so much! It works!!
Wow thanks for this video!! Are you able to save this as an interactive pdf?
N R E E N S Yes as long as you ‘Export as PDF” any program with the capability to read the linking and interactive features will be able to do so.
I liked it. But how to you get your planner to goodnotes in the end?
In Keynote go to File -> Export -> PDF. Then save it where your Goodnotes app has access (cloud, dropbox, etc). In Goodnotes you select Import from the main screen (not inside a document). Navigate to your PDF and tap it. Goodnotes will do the rest!
Great tutorial, thank you!
Thank you 💐💐💐
