Using the Remarkable Tablet as a Working Memory Tool

I still use the working memory dot txt file on my computer for efficient note-taking and capturing ideas. I find it easier and faster to type on the computer, allowing me to capture a lot of information. However, when I'm away from my computer, I use the quick sheets feature on my Remarkable tablet as a substitute for my working memory file. It has been useful for jotting down ideas and notes on the go, such as during walks or in meetings. Having both a digital and physical format for my working memory has been beneficial, as I can use whichever is more convenient in a given situation.
