Hey everyone πŸ‘‹ I'm Jeff, the founder and designer of Ugmonk.com. I've been working on Analog on and off for several years and am pumped to finally launch it into the world! Even though it may appear quite simple at first glance, Analog has revolutionized the way I work. I've struggled with focus for as long as I can remember. I use digital apps for capturing things, but I needed a way to pull things out of my apps and actually get them done. All of the paper planners and productivity journals I tried felt like extra work, so I’d never get more than a few pages in. I needed something simpler. So I decided to design my own system – which eventually became what you see here today. Would love to hear your thoughts and/or questions. Thanks! - Jeff https://www.kickstarter.com/proj...

@ugmonk beautiful!
Jeff Sheldon
@chrismessina Thanks Chris!

Fantastic, unique idea. I love how the card gets propped up so you can see it and don’t forget about your tasks.

@alancassinelli Thanks Alan!

Insta-backed! Been using a 3x5 system for a while now and was dismayed at the holder options β€” this looks like a dream. Please make an Ugmonk timer and Post-it Notes and my desk life will be complete. :)
Jeff Sheldon
@corey_gwin Thanks Corey! Sounds like you already have the habit in place and Analog will fit right in :)

This looks like a mix of Zettelkasten (Niklas Luhmann) + The Bullet Journal (Ryder Carroll). Not sure what to think of it yet... but looks like a good concept.
Jeff Sheldon
@tintim Thanks. Yes, I was definitely inspired by other systems and pulled in concepts that worked for me. I'm excited to see how different people use Analog and adapt it to how they work.

@ugmonk As a product manager who prefers writing to typing, I love how it captures the essence of Asana/Jira and put it in a physical form. Great stuff!

I was lucky enough to get an early version of Analog and it's fantastic. So simple. So thoughtful. And a great productivity system you can follow and won't let you get sucked down any social media app rabbit holes πŸ˜‚ . I've been a huge fan of written to-do lists for years and Analog now makes those lists look great on my desk. Awesome job, Jeff!
Jeff Sheldon
@jasondoesstuff Thanks Jason! Appreciate your help testing Analog. It's been a loooong time but now we can FINALLY share it with everyone else πŸ˜„
Ashton Squires
This looks great, I've always noticed I tend to work better with written to-do's. Congrats on the launch!
Jeff Sheldon
@ashton_squires Thanks Ashton. Hard to beat pen and paper :)
Greg Stone
Wow. This is incredible. My whole productivity system is analog... read most of the books you had stacked there... I'm excited to see you launch this. Congrats!
Jeff Sheldon
@gregstone14 Thanks Greg! Yeah I didn't originate the concepts but tried to pull together into a physical system that works and looks nice.
