How I organise my RMPP documents. (2025 July version)
Spent some downtime organising My Files on my RMPP. I used numbers, tags and Folders to position my docs so as to be able to use the root 'My Files' as a Home Page. My goal is that I can just swipe down to get to the 99% of documents I use every day without needing to hunt around.
I have three main themes for my work - Personal, Employer and Project/Client and my aim is to use these themes as the key for organising stuff.
Everything is organised, using numbers and letters to pin important docs into position on the My Files screen.
Folders: These appear above the docs. I had a lot more than these six. A. BLANKS <- Contains PDF template, mostly from methods.remarkable.com or my own. B. Personal <- my personal shizz. C. Work <- Folders for the major categories. D. Client <- I tend to have a single, long-term consultancy gig going on at any one time. E. Books <- yer actual published materials. Folders under there, mostly. F. Reference <- Generally short-lived PDFs, either something someone published, or a web page converted.
Documents
With the view on 'Large Grid', you get 3 rows of four columns each, giving 12 documents. My layout uses 11 of them.
I've got my documents sorted numerically then alphabtically according to the plan below
Row 1 - Personal. These all have my name as a tag.
- 1a. Inbox <- a GTD kinda thing. Just based on a regular Remarkable Notebook.
- 1b. Calendar 2025. Whole year view. Holidays/Birthdays/etc all highlighted in different colours with a key at the top. Also includes significant Work and Client dates, circled in different colours. Also on position 1 on the Favorites shortcut list.
- 1c. To Do 2025. This is the Remarkable standard green PDF, just using the monthly pages which gives me a long enough checklist. 'Renew house insurance' etc.
- 1d. Notes. Using my Gray lined document. General notes, eg dinner planning, list of veggies to plant, list of restaurants to visit by town etc.
Row 2 - Work. These all have my employers as a tag.
- 2a. Inbox. Just the same as 1a.
- 2b. Meetings using the the Meetings template from methods.remarkable.com.
- 2c. To Do 2025, again using the Remarkable green PDF, but now I'm using the Weekly pages. eg Week 27.
- 2d. Notes, July 2025. Using my 100 page document, with the pink cover. Probably going to do one a month and move it to a folder 'C. Work/Archive/' and rename it to 2025.7.Notes. Actually I might use that name going forward to save myseolf a job.
Row 3 - Client. These all have the client name as a tag. Client engagments tend to one at once, for 1..6 months.
- 3a. Inbox. Same as 1a.
- 3b. Meetings. Same as 2b.
- 3c. To Do 2025. Same template but now its on 'Daily' mode. Added to Favorites, position 2. There's no 3d as I don't need to work on client notes on my personal device.
Favorites.
- 1b. Calendar
- 3c. Personal To Do
- Whatever book or reference material I'm reading.
