How to Customize Your Digital Planner: Stickers, Fonts, & Layouts
One of the best parts of digital planning is making your planner feel uniquely yours. From soft fonts to functional layouts and fun stickers, customization helps your planner fit your lifestyle and your aesthetic.
If you’re new to digital planning, don’t worry — this beginner-friendly guide will walk you through simple ways to customize your planner without feeling overwhelmed.
Why Customize Your Digital Planner?
Customizing your digital planner can help you:
- Stay more motivated to plan consistently
- Organize information visually
- Create a planning routine you actually enjoy
- Make your planner feel personal, not generic
✨ Even small changes can make a big difference.
1️⃣ Fonts: Keep It Simple & Readable
Fonts set the tone of your planner.
Tips for choosing fonts:
- Use clean, easy-to-read fonts for daily planning
- Save decorative fonts for headers or section titles
- Stick to 1–2 fonts for a cohesive look
Beginner tip: If your app supports it, start with built-in fonts before downloading custom ones.
2️⃣ Colors: Soft, Calm, & Intentional
Color helps highlight priorities without creating clutter.
Best practices:
- Choose a small color palette (2–4 colors)
- Use one color for headers, one for tasks, one for notes
- Soft neutrals and pastels work beautifully for everyday planning
✨ Consistent colors = calmer planning pages.
3️⃣ Layouts: Choose What Fits Your Lifestyle
Not every layout works for every person — and that’s okay.
Common planner layouts:
- Daily: Great for detailed schedules
- Weekly: Ideal for busy moms and professionals
- Monthly: Perfect for big-picture planning
You can also add custom pages like:
- Goal trackers
- Wellness or habit pages
- Brain dump or notes sections
Tip: Try one layout for a full week before switching.
4️⃣ Stickers & Icons: Functional First, Decorative Second
Digital stickers can be fun and practical.
Types of stickers:
- Functional: checklists, labels, habit trackers
- Decorative: icons, quotes, aesthetic accents
Sticker tips:
- Use stickers to support planning, not distract from it
- Avoid overcrowding pages
- Stick to a consistent style for a clean look
✨ Less is more — especially when you’re just starting out.
5️⃣ Customize Without Overwhelm
If customization feels overwhelming:
- Start with fonts and colors only
- Add stickers gradually
- Keep your planner functional first
Your planner should make life easier — not more stressful.
