 How to use this Planner
Get Organized:
Set up your digital worldbuilding planner on your preferred platform, such as
a note-taking app, spreadsheet software, or specialized worldbuilding
software.

Sections and Categories:

Divide your planner into sections or categories that align with different
aspects of worldbuilding, such as geography, cultures, magic systems,
characters, etc.

Centralize Information:
Use each section to centralize information related to its category. For
example, create a "Characters" section to record details about each character
you create.

Templates and Prompts:

Utilize templates and prompts within the planner to guide your creative
process. These can help you consider important details you might otherwise
overlook.

Customization:
Tailor the planner to your world's unique needs. Add or remove sections as
necessary and adapt templates to fit your vision.

Linking and Cross-Referencing:

Link related information across sections. For instance, link a character's
backstory to their culture's history or a location's description to its
significance in the plot.
