reMarkable 2
Analog is Better
Well for me anyway, but also for most people: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnbeh.2021.634158/full
A recent study by Kuniyoshi Sakai, titled Paper Notebooks vs. Mobile Devices: Brain Activation Differences During Memory Retrieval, actually showed higher retention and recall for subjects that used pen and paper versus a keyboard, or tablet and stylus.
Essential Resources
PDF Templates
Abstract
- github.com/sowcow/blank_slate_pdf - More of an experiment than something intuitive and useful, interesting none the less.
Pages/Paper
- https://templarian.github.io/remarkable/ - Love this. The simplest paper generator for remarkable 2.
- Dots Graph Paper PDF Generator
Planners
Free
- Planner written in LATEX - A decent planner, but aesthetically not my favorite, feels like an academic paper.
- Remarkable Organization Planner Generator - This is a really great free option. I almost decoded to use it for 2024. I love the configuration tool this provides.
Paid Templates
- Etsy remarkable 2 templates
- Hyperpaper - Another really nice paid option, made by someone in r/RemarkableTablet/. The customizer is great, and there’s a preview you can download if you just want to take a month for a test spin.
