5 Insanely Great Reasons to Start Using Digital Notebooks on your iPad

I'm sure you've heard this before: "an organized mind is a happy mind." And it's true. Before I started using digital notebooks, I used to have the most unorganized life ever. I didn't know where anything was, and my brain was a mess of jumbled thoughts that were impossible to organize.

Thankfully, I learned the benefits of having systems and started using digital notebooks early in my life. Now I can't imagine going back to doing things any other way.

We all know it, but sometimes we don't really think about the benefits of digital notebooks. It's only when we've been using them for a while that we realize how much they change our lives.

I used to have a lot of problems with my old-fashioned paper notebook. It was filled with random thoughts, ideas and tasks that I would forget about until the day before an important meeting or deadline. Then I’d be scrambling to come up with a solution at the last minute and hoping that it would work out okay.

Nowadays, I use my iPad to take all of my notes. It has made such a difference in how I work. I'll share with you some of the ways taking notes on my iPad has helped me become more productive and organized—and how it can help YOU too!

1. It’s always with me. I have all of my notes saved on the cloud and can access them from all of my devices.

2. I can see everything in one place. I organize my notes in digital notebooks that have up to 31 hyperlinked tabs. It’s so much easier to manage my notes when they’re in one place instead of trying to keep track of them all over different pieces of paper or in different apps… it’s just one big happy family!

3. I can easily scribble new notes, or duplicate old ones and move them around on my notebooks, which comes really handy and saves me time when I am in the rush or have duplicate the same thing multiple times!

4. I can turn my handwriting into a font, that makes my notes look so much more cohesive and aesthetic.

5. It makes me feel like a boss when I look at my digital notebooks because it looks so neat and organized, whereas before it was just a mess on paper with scribbles everywhere.
