Hi,

I keep losing meeting and daily notes, can’t get organized with a paper notebook and would like to tag or categorize notes. Need to sync or be able to export to my desktop.

Is RM2 the one or is overkill for my needs? Having hard time to justify the almost 400eur price tag… What other device do you suggest?

    You need to know yourself here, and unfortunately “can’t get organized with a paper notebook” is a tell. If you’re not organized generally, you need to figure out and be honest with yourself as to whether having a digital version of paper will help you to be more disciplined.

    There is no assistance or automation on the reMarkable platform. It is the digital equivalent of a filing cabinet in which you store ring binders, books and paper print outs. You have to bring the order to the filing cabinet.

    The Tag system is very rudimentary - essentially you apply a text tag or more than one text tag to a document - and you can go to a screen where you can filter for all documents with a specific tag or group of tags. But again, you need to figure out how to make that work for you.

    The one thing that the device would be guaranteed to solve for is having all your notes in one digital place if you use the reMarkable for all of your note-taking. But without a system that you bring to the table, what you risk ending up with is a digital version of clutter.

      That is very spot on. The problem is that I tried to have different notebooks for different situations. Example: one for client quotes, other for tasks (before adding them to clickup), other for meetings.

      But then I don’t have something to filter by topic or something. Granted I could have a notebook for every client but still…

      I’m going to try a cheap alternative (38eur from amazon) for now to see how the workflow goes and organize it later on evernote or Microsoft notes.
