A Sailor's Love Letter to the Remarkable 2 Writing Tablet
A Sailor's Love Letter to the Remarkable 2 Writing Tablet
Ahoy there! Let me spill the beans on my love affair with the Remarkable 2, the writing tablet that sailed right into my heart on Christmas day, courtesy of Michael's thoughtful gift.
As an avid note-taker, organizing my thoughts was akin to juggling multiple notebooks, each dedicated to a specific topic. However, on a sailboat with limited space, such clutter became impractical. So you can imagine my elation when I unwrapped the Remarkable 2 on Christmas day – it was an instant tear-jerker moment for me. I have wanted one of these since 2017 when the first Remarkable came out.
Let me share some of my most cherished aspects of the Remarkable 2 since it became a part of my life.
First and foremost, its organization and minimalist design resonate deeply with me. Minimalism isn't just a trend; it's a necessity on a sailboat. Having all my learning topics neatly categorized on one device that I can write on and sync to my computer, is a dream come true. With a few taps, I can seamlessly flip from one topic to another using the folders I've meticulously created. So I’ve said goodbye to the cluttered tables where I scatter open notebooks – now, every topic is neatly organized into folders, and I'm absolutely hooked!
Since we go to the beach twice daily, at a minimum to let our doggy realave herself, the Remarkable 2 has become my haven at the beach. Its slim profile fits spaciously into my beach backpack, alongside my other beach essentials. I love that I don't have to worry about pages flipping in the wind. I can enjoy long beach trips, indulge in shell hunting, workouts, reading, and journaling without any distractions.
As someone eagerly anticipating motherhood, something I value is journaling daily. Besides documenting our daily adventures and wildlife encounters, I do it as practice for keeping track of my future children's milestones. The Remarkable 2 keeps my chronicles safe and sound. I don't know about you but eliminating worries about damaged or lost notebooks is a huge weight off my shoulders. Knowing that I can easily share these stories with friends and family is also a huge bonus. We travel a lot so only having one slim “notebook” to take with me is also a huge plus.
The absence of distracting apps on the Remarkable 2 allows for focused work sessions amidst the sea's distractions. I also keep track of all my boat tasks and whatever Michaels says, “add it to the list,” because boat duties never end. Writing blogs has never been easier – I jot down ideas and outline my blogs before converting them to text and syncing them across all my devices. The tablet's slim and lightweight design, coupled with sturdy bumpers, instills confidence, even in unpredictable sailing conditions.
It's truly a sailing companion, a productivity mate, and a keeper of stories in the world of a sailor and a blogger.
In conclusion, the Remarkable 2 is more than just a gadget to me; it's an indispensable shipmate that has revolutionized my blogging voyage.
Fair winds and smooth writing! ⛵
