Mobile analogue or hybrid organisational and time-management system

Interesting. Funnily enough, the new reMarkable tablet has just fallen in price from its previously eye-watering EUR 700 or so to a still eye-watering but slightly more reasonable EUR 499 (including tablet, marker/stylus, and replacement tips for latter).

The reMarkable would appear to have significant potential as a kind of hybrid digital/analog approach - it comes with 50 built-in templates (and will soon allow users to create their own, or so they promise), and I would imagine you could draw your own bullet-point-style templates in any case, or import them as PDF files. Combined with a competent handwriting recognition app (they’re still working on their own app), it would represent a potentially impressive bridge between two very disparate worlds.

Of course one could go with Wacom’s Bamboo Slate approach; although the latter’s Inkspace software has come in for some heavy criticism, there appear to be plenty of users who are perfectly happy with what it does. But the reMarkable tablet is remarkably cool…
