Remarkable

You need to know yourself here, and unfortunately "can't get organized with a paper notebook" is a tell. If you're not organized generally, you need to figure out and be honest with yourself as to whether having a digital version of paper will help you to be more disciplined.

There is no assistance or automation on the reMarkable platform. It is the digital equivalent of a filing cabinet in which you store ring binders, books and paper print outs. You have to bring the order to the filing cabinet.

The Tag system is very rudimentary - essentially you apply a text tag or more than one text tag to a document - and you can go to a screen where you can filter for all documents with a specific tag or group of tags. But again, you need to figure out how to make that work for you.

The one thing that the device would be guaranteed to solve for is having all your notes in one digital place if you use the reMarkable for all of your note-taking. But without a system that you bring to the table, what you risk ending up with is a digital version of clutter.
