⚠️ Top 5 Mistakes People Make with Remarkable Templates (and How to Avoid Them)
If you’ve recently downloaded templates for your tablet — or you’re thinking about making the switch to a digital planning system — this one’s for you. While the paper tablet is a powerful tool for staying organized, many users struggle to get the most out of their templates simply because of a few avoidable missteps.
Here are the top 5 mistakes people make with their templates — and how you can avoid them to stay organized, productive, and frustration-free. ✅
1. 📥 Importing Everything at Once
One of the most common mistakes is trying to import an entire folder into your paper tablet — which isn’t supported by the app. Even if you import all the templates one by one, doing it all at once can clutter your device quickly and make it harder to stay organized or find what you actually need.
👉 Fix it:
Start by importing only the templates you’ll use right away — whether that’s a daily planner, project tracker, or lead log. Our bundles are separated on purpose: you stay in control of what goes on your device.
2. 🔗 Ignoring the Hyperlinks
So many users forget or don’t realize that the planner PDFs are fully hyperlinked.
👉 Fix it:
Tap around! Our templates include tabs, indexes, and shortcuts — giving you the feel of a real planner without flipping endlessly. You’ll get where you need to go in seconds, no scrolling marathon required. ⏱️
3. ⚙️ Using the Wrong Settings
Sometimes the templates are opened in the wrong app or flattened — disabling hyperlinks or zooming weirdly.
👉 Fix it:
Always import directly into your reMarkable, not through a third-party reader. Use the desktop or mobile app, and open it from your library. Simple setup = smooth experience. 📄
4. 🗂️ Not Creating a Folder System
Digital chaos is real — and Remarkable doesn’t sort your stuff for you. A giant list of notebooks and templates? No thanks.
👉 Fix it:
Create folders like:
📁 Personal
📁 Business
📁 Projects
📁 Templates
This small step keeps things clean, fast, and easy to manage.
5. 🚫 Expecting It to Work Like an iPad App
The Remarkable tablet is beautifully minimal — but it’s not an iPad. No pop-ups, no animations, and no color distractions.
👉 Fix it:
Embrace the simplicity. ✍️ Our templates are designed for Remarkable — black-and-white or with colours, distraction-free, and structured. That’s the whole point: clarity over clutter.
✅ Final Thoughts
The reMarkable can be a game-changer — but only if you set it up the right way. Avoid these common mistakes and you’ll unlock the full potential of your digital planning system.
