How it Works

Analog doesn't replace your digital tools, it works alongside them by helping you focus on your most important work.

Watch How it Works ►

Analog divides tasks into 3 cards

Today

Today

At the beginning of each day, write up to 10 tasks on a Today card.

Use Task Signals to mark each task as completed, delegated, or in progress

Carry over unfinished tasks on a new Today card, or move some of them to a Next or Someday card.

Analog is my perfect desktop companion. I can use it for digital tasks, but it lives where I have constant and easy access to it, beside my keyboard.

Less is more. Above all the to-do lists apps and task boards, a simple Analog card on my desk every day keeps me more focused than any of the more complex tools I've tried.

What I love even more than the simplicity, is the built-in archival nature of the cards. There's something special about seeing a stack of cards that represents a whole week – or a whole year! – worth of work and progress.

As someone that can spend more time messing with my to do list app than actually doing things, Analog is great because it helps me focus. I also really like the dot grid on the back for sketching quick ideas.

Analog FAQ

What’s the key to making Analog work?

Analog is all about building the daily habit. You’ll quickly realize the power of how starting with Analog each day helps you focus and get real work done.

Is Analog also an app?

No. Analog works alongside digital apps but is currently only a paper based tool.

What are the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner for?

Use these dots to rate how productive you are each day. For example, if you complete your entire card, fill in all 3 dots. Or you can also use the Card Signal to tie related projects together. All “work” projects might get two dots. And all “home” projects get one dot.

What if I have more than 10 things to do Today?

Analog forces you to prioritize and set realistic expectations. We all think we can get more done in a day than we actually can. If you somehow do complete all 10 tasks, fill out another Today card.

How do I capture tasks while on the go?

Analog is made to be portable and come with you wherever you go with the Travel Case But when you don’t have an Analog card with you, use a reminder app on your phone to capture an idea and then transfer to your card later.

How do I link cards together for specific projects?

Use the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner to link cards together. Another way to link cards is by adding a title on the line in the upper right hand corner.

Where do I put the complete cards?

Completed cards can be slid under the bottom of the stack of cards in the wood holder or discarded (the cards are fully recyclable).

Where do the Next and Someday Cards go?

Keep your Next and Someday Cards on top of the magnetic divider to keep them out of sight but always within reach for when you need to jot something down.

I still can't seem to get everything done on my Today card. How do I decide what goes on my Today card?

Don’t feel the need to fill up all 10 lines each day. Start small and only write the absolute most important 2 or 3 tasks each day. As you complete those primary tasks, continue adding a couple more tasks.

When do I start a new Next or Someday card?

This is totally up to you. I find it helpful to start a new card when over 50% of the tasks are complete and I want more free space to add new tasks.

Can I pause the subscription?

Yes. The Analog Subscription is billed quarterly and you may pause or cancel at any time.

Favourite journal

The discbound journal is really great. The discs are made of really sleek stainless steel. The leather cover keeps its colour even after using it for a longer time. My favourite notebook that's alwas in my bag.

Lovely to hold, touch and use

I absolute love how the Discbound Heirloom Journal looks and feels – and smells. The colour is actually more of a “midnight blue” than navy, but I like it anyway. For other European users: I am using the journal with Rhodia fountain-friendly paper that I punch myself with the Atoma hole puncher. Works beautifully.

Discbound Heirloom Journal Number 2

There are few products that I have loved from the moment I held them. I have loved everything I have purchased from Ugmonk, but the number one product is the Discbound Heirloom Journal. This is my second journal. I love the color in addition to the leather and paper. You cannot go wrong with this journal.

I can't stop smelling it

Opening this journal is like opening the door of a new car. It smells incredible, and it feels comfortable and pliable in the hand. Love writing in this thing, and looking forward to using this for years to come.

The Best and Only Journal I've Ever Used Consistently Every Day!

I've put this journal to the test for work daily for a variety of work scenarios - I code, I do graphic design, I provide strategy for businesses and have countless meetings for all of the above. Being pulled in so many directions - notes, diagrams and drawing are key to my survival and overall organization. This "never ending" journal has been fantastic for me. I number the pages, use them as references for previous dates and other notes; it just works flawlessly. I've even made short links to reference later for some of my projects/notes. It's become a powerful resource for me and I can't work without it!

Notebook of champions

This purchase is one I do not regret. The notebook is high quality throughout and I particularly appreciate the quality of paper inserts for the notebook. The green leather cover is thick and I'm sure it will patina wonderfully over time. Great size notebook for portability, but still plenty big enough to take notes throughout the day.

First disc bound journal, and I love it!

I've had plenty of journals and notebooks over the years, but had never tried a disc bound one till now. I love it! It lays flat, is the perfect size, is easy to add/remove pages to. Overall I just really like it so far.

Lovely writing paper

I bought the discbound heirloom journal earlier and found the paper really nice to write on. I expected to buy another sort of paper in The Netherlands but I can't find anything to match the quality of this paper. So I ordered this paper again. It's from a nice thickness, feels smoothly when you write on it and doesn't bleed when you use a fountain pen. Great quality for a reasonable price.

Best Notebook I’ve Used

This is the nicest notebook I’ve ever used. The material is top notch as is the paper. I’m now spoiled and can’t imagine using another notebook.

My Little Black Journal

So, two things … well, maybe more. One: it’s beautiful and feels wonderful to the hand so I take it everywhere. My lifestyle is not at all sedentary. It fits nicely into my bag. I’m not ashamed to pull it out for notes or ideas or just plain doodling. Two: the paper is great to write or draw on with whatever I choose to use. It’s quality. Those are the main points. Beyond that, it makes me feel good. It keeps me coming back to record information whether for a new novel, a requested interview, or simply my meanderings on life, the universe, and everything. And when I want to refer back to any and all info, it’s there in one place. That’s a big deal. And that’s how I feel. Inspired.

The absolute highest quality journal I have ever owned

I am very happy with this journal. I use it next to my desk to keep work-related notes. I like both the cover and the actual paper. To bad the brass bolt-action pens are sold out, as they would go very well with it.
