Hello Remarkable Community,
I’m excited to share that my Remarkable device has just arrived. I got it to enhance my focus and productivity, particularly because I have ADHD. However, I’m looking for guidance on how to optimize organization using folders, tags, and notebooks.
If you’re an experienced user, I’d greatly appreciate your insights into how you make the most of these features to maintain an efficient and well-organized Remarkable. Are there any valuable tips, tricks, or best practices that you can share?
Thank you in advance for your help and expertise!
I like setting up folders in the main directory, with a couple of scratch notebooks or a quickbook available for quick note-taking, which can then be moved into the proper subfolders if needed…
00.Work, 01.School, 03.Health, 04.Hobby, 05.Personal
Then folders within folders, like…
Fall 23 --> Course1 Course 2 Course 3
Each Course has sections, each section has handouts, notes, homework…
For notes, each separate day is a new Notebook. The schedule from both profs include Class 1, 2, 3 so being able to check back to see which notes are from which class is nice. I personally like it better than one big notebook for all of my notes.
Work has Meetings, Projects, Processes…
Hobby has Crochet, Knitting, Fishkeeping…
Tags are nice too - I use them to help with searches, like DB project, or Stata, Crochet, Hat Pattern…With my organization, the tags aren’t 100% necessary, but they’re useful. For example, a WIP tag can pull work projects, homework, and crochet patterns that I have tagged as WIP so I can decide where my time is better spent. Same thing with a COMPLETE tag, or YAY/BOO to make notes of if I liked the pattern or recipe, etc’s end product.
Your insights have been incredibly valuable. You’ve sparked a few ideas on how I’ll structure my system. Thank you! ☺️
