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!
One thing that helped me stay a little more organized was to only keep a few notebooks on the main screen that I use frequently, everything else goes into a designated folder/subfolder.
For the main screen, I keep a to do list, quick sheets, and meeting notes. One thing that I did after reading an article about keeping it organized is to make a cover page for each of those and set the first page to always display in the thumbnail. It is just a simple bubble letter page but makes it a lot easier to identify quickly.
I don’t use tags at all because I use a label system for folders and notebooks that is a little more descriptive. I am a developer and use my tablet for reading a lot. I have a folder called “Books”. I split that into sub folders for each language that the book is dealing with. In each of those sub folders, I have another level of sub folders that are the level of difficulty/experience. Folders are great for organizing as long as they are labeled with something meaningful and you do not over generalize the contents or over complicate the folder structure.
These ideas are fantastic. I’ll definitely implement your suggestion to maintain a cleaner main screen. And your idea of utilizing cover pages is simply brilliant! Thank you.
