The Remarkable 2 is one of the cleanest, simplest planning devices for entrepreneurs. It removes distractions, feels like paper and gives you a calm space to plan your week, projects and ideas without overwhelm.
If you want to use your MY PA Planner on your Remarkable 2, the good news is that it takes less than a minute to upload. Here is the simplest step-by-step guide to get you set up with the 2026 planner.
If you’ve bought an Onyx Boox and you’re looking for a planner that actually works on it, you’ve probably already discovered that most digital planners aren’t designed for e-ink devices.
They’re built for iPads. Bright colours, tiny text, layouts that look beautiful on a retina screen but become unreadable on e-ink. Hyperlinks that don’t work properly. Pages that are too cluttered for stylus writing.
Finding the right planner for Onyx Boox means knowing what to look for — and what to avoid. This guide breaks down what makes a good Boox planner, compares the main options, and helps you pick the right one for how you actually work.
Most people buy an Onyx Boox and use it for reading. Maybe some note-taking. But they never turn it into what it could be — a focused, distraction-free planning system for running their business.
That’s a missed opportunity. An Onyx Boox is one of the best devices for business planning if you set it up properly. No notifications pulling your attention. No apps competing for your focus. Just you, your stylus, and a clean screen designed for thinking and writing.
This guide shows you how to turn your Onyx Boox into a complete business planning system — from initial setup to a daily and weekly workflow that actually keeps you on track.
You worked all day.
Replied to messages. Updated a spreadsheet. Bounced between three apps. Wrote half a plan. Chased an invoice. Started something you forgot to finish yesterday.
And at the end of it?
You couldn't tell someone what you actually moved forward.
That's not a work ethic problem. That's a systems problem.
The other day I posted a poll asking founders how they currently run their businesses.
About 50% said they’re using a mix of apps and tools, kind of making it work as they go.
And I get it, that’s how most businesses start.
A note in your phone.
A task list somewhere.
Ideas in a doc.
Client stuff in email.
Money stuff in a spreadsheet.
If you’re a founder, this will sound familiar.
You work all week.
You’re constantly thinking ahead.
You solve problems other people don’t even notice.
And yet, by Friday, there’s a quiet feeling that you didn’t do enough.
That guilt is confusing, because you weren’t lazy. You didn’t waste time. You worked nonstop.
So why does it still feel like you’re behind?
Running a business means juggling ideas, tasks, clients, finances, and plans, often all in your head. Notion can be a powerful tool for organising your business, but only if it’s set up in a way that actually supports how you work.
This guide explains how to use Notion for business in a simple, practical way, without overcomplicating things or turning it into another system you never check.
Notion works well for business because it brings everything into one place. Instead of using separate tools for planning, notes, projects, and tracking, Notion lets you connect everything together.
Used properly, Notion can help you:
reMarkable 2 and reMarkable Paper Pro are designed for people who think better when they write things down. They remove distractions and give you space to plan, think, and focus.
But once you move beyond basic note-taking, many people run into the same issue. They have lots of notes, ideas scattered across notebooks, and no clear structure for their days or weeks.
Planning on reMarkable works best when you use a clear, repeatable planning system, rather than starting from blank pages every time.
Some people choose to use a structured digital planner PDF, such as the MY PA planner, which is designed to work well on paper-like tablets including reMarkable 2 and reMarkable Paper Pro.
Notion has become one of the most powerful tools for small business owners. Instead of juggling ten different apps, Notion lets you keep your plans, clients, projects, finances and ideas together in one clear workspace.
But the question most people have is:
“How do I actually use Notion to run my business?”
This guide breaks it down in the simplest possible way.
You’ll learn the exact structure most small business owners need, the types of pages to create, and how to keep everything organised without getting overwhelmed.
Most small business owners don’t have a software problem — they have a scattered problem.
They use:
Asana for tasks
Google Docs for notes
Stripe for payments
Apple Notes for ideas
Spreadsheets for finance
Trello for projects
A diary for planning
Their head for reminders
Notion replaces all of that by creating one organised home for:
planning
clients
content
sales
delivery
finances
documents
ideas
When everything lives together, you stop firefighting and actually feel in control.
Before you move your entire business into Notion, begin with the basics:
your week
your goals
your priorities
your recurring tasks
A weekly planning dashboard should include:
This Week’s Focus
This Week’s Goals
Today’s Tasks
Quick Notes
Calendar
Regular Actions (recurring tasks)
This alone will change how your business feels day to day.

Once your planning is in place, add a simple project dashboard:
Project name
Status (Not Started / Active / Waiting / Done)
Linked tasks
Due date
Notes
Linked client (optional)
Then create a task database with:
Task name
Due date
Priority
Status
Linked project
Linked client
This keeps everything clean and traceable instead of scattered.
A CRM doesn’t have to be complex.
A simple Notion CRM helps you track:
enquiries
leads
follow-ups
client details
meetings
notes
what stage they’re at
This alone can prevent thousands in lost revenue each year.

Small business owners often avoid finances because the tools feel too “big”.
Notion gives you a simple snapshot of:
upcoming payments
invoices
expenses
subscriptions
income
profit
categories
due dates
You don’t need accounting software for everyday visibility.
You just need one organised weekly view.

A content planner helps you stay consistent without burning out.
Create:
ideas list
platforms (IG, TikTok, Pinterest, email)
weekly or monthly posting schedule
hooks
captions
brand messaging
assets
This makes content creation structured instead of overwhelming.
Once you have planning, projects, CRM and finances in place, you can combine them into a full Notion business hub.
A real business hub includes:
Weekly dashboard
Planner (daily → yearly)
Projects + tasks
CRM
Finance
Content
Documents
Systems
Meetings
Recurring actions
Quick add buttons
This is what turns Notion from “just a note-taking tool” into a business operating system.

If you’re at the beginning of using Notion for business:
This is ideal if your main challenge is:
clarity
weekly structure
getting things done
reducing overwhelm
This is perfect if you want:
planning + CRM
clients + projects
finance + content
everything in one place
one calm, clear weekly view
You don’t need complicated systems.
You need a clean, calm, organised structure that helps you focus on the work that actually grows your business.
Notion is powerful, but only when it’s set up properly.
A good template creates a foundation you can build on for years.
There is something grounding about opening a fresh planner.
Clean pages. A calm layout. A feeling that you are finally taking control again.
For many people, including me, pen and paper is where clarity happens.
It slows your mind down just enough to think properly.
It cuts out the noise.
It gives your week shape.
This is why MY PA has always been a paper first system.
The physical planner is the core, the anchor, the place you come back to no matter how overwhelmed life gets.
If you’re curious, this is the exact Notion workspace I use myself.
Running a small business means juggling ideas, clients, planning, content, invoices, projects, goals… and often doing it all alone.
Notion is one of the best tools to bring everything together, but only if you use the right templates.
In this guide, you’ll discover the best Notion business templates for 2026, what each one is for, and how to choose the right system depending on where you are in your business.
Whether you’re a solopreneur, coach, creator, freelancer, or small business owner, this guide will help you build a business that feels clear, organised, and calm.
Most business owners don’t struggle because they’re disorganised.
They struggle because their business is scattered:
Most small business owners are not struggling because they’re disorganised.
They’re struggling because their business is scattered everywhere.
Projects in one app, content in another, money tracked somewhere else, client notes in a notebook, screenshots saved in your photos, reminders in your head.
It feels heavy because it is heavy.
And no one can run a business with clarity like that.
This post is for the business owners who are doing everything alone and carrying all the mental weight. If it feels messy, slow, or overwhelming, there is nothing wrong with you. You just don’t have a central system holding everything for you.
On the outside it looked like “planner season as usual.” Orders going out. Emails coming in. Social posts. Real life.
On the inside, every spare hour was being poured into one question:
How do I take what MY PA does on paper and turn it into a proper business system that lives in Notion.
I thought it would be simple. A few databases. Some views. A nice dashboard.
It wasn't simple.
At several points I seriously considered walking away from it and pretending I never started.
For years, I have watched customers use the MY PA Planner as their weekly control centre. They plan their goals, block their time, review their weeks and actually move things forward.
But there was always this gap.
They were still running the business in their head. Leads. Client work. Invoices. Content. Ideas. To-dos. All in mental tabs.
