📓 The Return of Analog Thinking: How reMarkable Helps You Work Like It’s 1985 (But Better)
A few months ago, a friend told me she was “drowning in apps.”
Every day started with a to-do list app, then a project board, then a flurry of emails and chat notifications. By lunchtime, she’d looked busy all morning but hadn’t crossed off a single important task.
Frustrated, she pulled her old paper diary out of a drawer and started planning her day like she did in school. The change was instant — more focus, less stress. The only problem? Carrying stacks of notebooks wasn’t practical.
That’s where the reMarkable came in. It gave her the quiet, analog feel she loved, without giving up the efficiency of the digital age.
🕰 Why “Analog Thinking” Is Back
In the 1980s, planning was simple: open your diary 📔, jot down the plan, and get to work. There were no push notifications or “urgent” pop-ups — just you and your goals.
Today, we’re craving that same simplicity. Analog thinking is about slowing down, focusing on one thing at a time, and keeping your attention where it belongs. It’s not anti-tech — it’s pro-intention.
✨ Why the reMarkable Fits the Bill
The reMarkable delivers all the benefits of paper without the clutter:
- 📵 No apps, no pings — just you and your notes.
- 📄 Unlimited pages — never run out mid-idea.
- 🔍 Searchable writing — find what you need instantly.
And when paired with a hyperlinked digital planner, it’s like having the best paper planner you’ve ever owned — but with the ability to flip between months, projects, and notes in seconds.
📅 Planning Like It’s 1985 — But Smarter
With a reMarkable and a well-designed planner, you can:
- 💼 Carry years of planning in one slim device.
- ☁️ Back up instantly — nothing gets lost.
