+1 to this. Getting a reMarkable has improved my “Actually read interesting papers” metric by infinite%. I went from bookmark and forget to reading at least 1 paper per week on average.
Turns out published academic papers, even the bad ones, are infinitely better than even the most insightful twitter threads.
Years ago I replaced podcasts with audiobooks for long runs. Podcasts started feeling too short. That’s been a huge improvement as well.
This week I stopped listening to podcasts on my way to the gym. That’s 20 minutes of thinking time per day. Fantastic so far. I feel a lot more relaxed.

- Swizec 4y agoIt syncs over wifi. There’s a windows/mac/ios app that you can drop files into and they show up on your reMarkable. There’s even a chrome extension that lets you click a button and the page shows up on the tablet in epub form (which unfortunately doesn’t do images). You have to print-to-pdf then dump into the app to get a webpage with images onto the tablet. That part’s kind of annoying, but many articles work just fine as epub.
