Hello guys, welcome into this new video. Let's take a look how we can create a digital
0:04
fallible planner using this great tool, this great platform called Canva. So
0:12
what am I using Canva? Because Canva is totally free. And actually
0:16
I'm going to be using more tools to make this a fallible
0:20
file. So what does fallible actually mean? Speaking about fallible, it is a file
0:28
where you want to constantly start to edit the elements and the text and everything that's inside
0:36
the template or the file that you just created. So what are the platforms that we can choose
0:44
to edit our stuff? Of course if you create a PDF file, this might be fallible but depends on the
0:52
actual device that you're currently using the file. Let's say just one example here
1:00
I do have this monthly planner, so how do I know if this one is
1:08
fallible? So I'm going to show, I'm going to download and here I want to choose only the second page, which is actually this one
1:16
I want to save this as a PDF standard file and I want to download this. So once I download this
1:24
I'm going to go for, let's say downloads and here it is
1:28
I'm going to go into my files, I'm going to go into my downloads and I'm going to
1:32
double click my file. Alright, so what can I do if this one is fallible or not? As you can see
1:40
I do have elements in here where I can edit my own file. So I can
1:44
either draw wherever I want to do or I can even add text wherever I
1:52
want to do. So this is a fallible file. So I can even change colors if I want to highlight those
2:00
but as you can see we're just limited here of what we're
2:04
doing here. So there are different ways if you want to use these elements, these images
2:12
I think that for me it's a little bit difficult to use digital planners that are created
2:20
and designed for other users from Canva, from from Protextures, from let's say
2:28
there was another one called Sketches, there's a lot of applications where you can create a lot of stuff like this. But focusing
2:36
here into just Canva, I'm going to go into leaf, focusing here into
2:40
just Canva, we can make a fallible file but what you need to do is to constantly open
2:48
the document and you can edit that but only by using Canva
2:52
In different ways, different scenarios, a fallible platform that can be helping you to make something a little bit
3:00
more interesting might be the Google suit. So here is the Google
3:04
suit, you can create a Google slide file, you can create a Google
3:08
doc file. So speaking about what we can do here into Google for example here to have a digital planner, LD 2023, I have
3:16
a monthly planner and here I can just tap into enter and here let's say that I want to create
3:24
a few files, a few fields. So I'm going to go into insert, I'm going to hit into small chips
3:32
or actually I'm going to go for table and here I'm going to go for
3:36
7 because I want to go for Monday, Tuesday 4, 5, 6, 7 and I'm going to hit like only
3:44
5. So what I want to do is to go for Monday and here I can go for
3:52
Tuesday and here I can go for Wednesday and like that so
3:56
that's how we can just get started here into Google Docs and then what I do here is to
4:04
start editing my own file, my own needs in here. So here let's say that this is for January
4:12
so I'm going to go for January 2023 and here I do have this file of Monday, Wednesday. I'm going to go for
4:24
let's say go to the movies so that's how I can available my file
4:32
I can go back into my own documents I can select the recent documents that appears in here. Everything has been
4:40
just updated automatically. So I can go into own title document and here I have my digital planner of the 2023 and if I deleted
4:48
this or let's say I want to choose this cell or delete this or I want to click into a next like
4:56
if all those days has passed already like this, like this and like this
5:00
I go back into my files and let's say I like just run somewhere else
5:08
and I go back a few days later, I click into my digital planner
5:12
and here is my file already edited. So that's how we can create a fillable file. But if you want to be creative
5:20
if you want to add, you want to inspire, you want to add more elements
5:24
background colors, that's the reason why I can strongly suggest you to use Canva. But if you don't know how to
5:32
edit a PDF file, it's going to be a little bit hard to have
5:36
this fillable file. In my case, if I go into Canva, I want to go into the template
5:44
and here in the template, let's say that I want to look only
5:48
for a yearly planner or monthly planner monthly planner or let's say yearly planner
5:56
like this. Let's see what does the file has here. So I do have like this calendar of the 2023. Let's use
6:04
for calendar of 2023 actually. Alright, so we do have a lot of files
6:08
here, I want to choose this option, I want to go into customize the template and here
6:16
into this template, I can customize this as I want to do, I can just try to edit the colors, I can try to edit
6:24
the fields in here, the text, the fonts whatever you want to do. So once I hit into show
6:32
and I hit into download, it's really important to choose a PDF standard file, go into download
6:40
and here, what I want to do is to open this depending on the device that I'm currently using, only for
6:48
PC, for example, if I double click like this it's going to be automatically sending me into this reader
6:56
of PDF files where I can try to draw, scratch or do
7:00
whatever I wanted to into this file. And once again, it's going to be having the same
7:04
thing. If I hit into draw, for example, I'm going to be choosing the red color
7:08
there's a thickness like this, and I want to scratch this like this, like this, it's passed already, passed already
7:16
passed already, passed already. So I'm going to leave it like this, I'm going to hit into save
7:24
actually this is the print file, so I'm going to cancel, I'm going to hit into save
7:28
I'm going to go into the X mark, and I'm going to once again
7:32
open my file, and there we go, everything that we just did before a few seconds ago, it's already saved it into this file
7:40
and if I want to erase those, I can totally do that, since
7:44
we didn't do this in the original file, we can delete this. So it's really easy to have this available
7:52
file as a PDF file, if you want to have a file, and if
7:56
you want to use a PDF file, and be creative and use
8:00
your own ideas and elements to add that into your own digital platter. But that's totally up to you guys, if you want
8:08
to use an application, or another place where you can edit, or you can customize your
8:16
own templates, and you want to daily, day by day, enter the application, and enter the application. My point of view
8:24
at the end of the day, it would be like most, it would be
8:28
harder for you to enter the application, to scratch a day, or
8:32
to update that. What I do a lot is to use a calendar, or the calendar from iCloud
8:40
or the calendar from the Huawei, or the Samsung company, so everything
8:44
is just in one place, and I can take this calendar into my iPad, into my phone, into my PC, and everything
8:52
is going to be updated in here, and I don't have to focus a lot, I mean
8:56
it's not looking like really creative as we just did before in here, but everything is just organized, and
9:04
for me, I think that it's more than enough. So hopefully guys, this was a very useful video
9:08
for you, you can do whatever you want to do, these are just a few tools
9:12
and elements that I show you, so you can create your own digital planners, and of course
9:16
they are available, so you can work in them. Don't forget to like
