Trying Out the hyperpaper Planner

I’m a pen and paper guy for sure, but the Kindle Scribe is a perfect companion for me. And as a result, I’ve been using the freeform notebooks more like a planner.

I still use (and love) my William Hannah notebook, but my friend Brian sent me an interesting link the other day: hyperpaper.me.

This is a service that generates a customized version of their PDF planner, which you can use on most eInk devices, as well as PDF annotators on iPad OS, like GoodNotes and Notability.

And at $19, it was an instant purchase for me.

A long review and video will be available for my members, but here’s what I really like about it:

You can customize it. I added a habit tracker, and an additional notes page at the end of each day. Now I can write my “open threads” there.

Everything is linked. I thought navigating this behemoth would be a challenge, especially because the Kindle Scribe’s PDF navigation is lacking right now, but they thought of that! You can jump to any day from the month calendar.

I bookmark the current month for easy access.

It’s got a good Table of Contents If I’m every lost, or want to jump outside the calendar views, I can open up the TOC.

I was able to reasonably recreate my William Hannah notebook, and it’s been my daily driver for a few days now.

We’ll see if it sticks, but I’m confident it will. It’s such a great product and idea.
