2025 OneNote Life Planner Setup - Part 1

I'm setting up my 2025 Life Planner in OneNote! Using my planning pages for all of the sections and pages I want to include I will take you through the steps of setting up my notebook. This will be the first of 2 videos where I walk you through my process.

Hi, I’m Crystal. Welcome to a Crystal Clear Life where we talk about planning, organizing and living a more simplified life. I use Microsoft OneNote 365 on my PC to create functional and decorative planners and notebooks to help keep my life organized. OneNote is awesome because it crosses all platforms so I can use it on my desktop PC, my iPad and my Android phone. That way I am never without my planner! Hope you enjoy.
