| My experience has been that it's very easy to flip through a pile of papers, and I tend to "know" where the info is. The beauty of physical interfaces like for paper is that you really can just flip through a stack while talking to someone and find what you need. The big thing that I think works well in paper world is simply having things organized chronologically. I often remember around when I collected a piece of info. |

| The RM2 also fails at organizing: no text search in PDFs and not in notes, if you don't convert every handwritten note into text on a new page; only tags, which means if you don't add tags everywhere, you can't find anything by searching; etc. It's extremely expensive for the functionality it offers. |

| You've probably heard of Org mode. Go look it up - md and a todo app is exactly poor man's Org mode. |

So I’ve a custom GTD-like system build using iOS reminders, .md files, and a couple of scripts. | | |
