How it Works

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

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

Beautiful and Streamlined

the Analog system has taken alot of the best parts of to do lists while optimizing the less enjoyable parts of lists that can be overwhelming! The quality and craft of Analog product is also 5 stars, every detail finely tuned!

Gorgeous and wonderfully crafted.

I’m so pleased with my Analog card holder. It’s perfectly weighted, and you can tell it was crafted with a lot of thought and attention. I’m already feeling more productive after just a couple of weeks.

Excellent Quality and Functionality

The quality of the pen and card holder is impressive. The pen surprised me, with high-quality ink and a small profile. The cards are easy to use and feel so elegant that I know spend more planning exactly what I want to write. This has helped me organize my task list. Thank you, UGMONK!

Awesome product

These cards are amazing. I use them every day to help with all my “to do’s”. They are sturdy enough to just slide one in my pocket if I don’t feel like taking my leather folio. Truly a helpful item in my day to day life!

love it

I have had my eye on the analog starter kit for about a year. I finally hit buy and I am glad I did. This is so visually satisfying, not only from the design perspective but to have my notes facing upright where I can see them clearly is great. The cardstock for the kit is much like old school index cards- good hand feel and fits nicely in a shirt or back pocket for on the go notes. I balked at the price, hence why I waited so long and was able to get this via their warehouse sale, BUT now having it, i would say it is worth the tag.

A remarkable system

I prefer writing things down to digital where they get lost, but a notebook feels clunky. This system makes todos special and focused so I can get the work done.

Like New!

I recently bought the Analog Starter Kit through the Warehouse sale which are items that are supposed to have "small cosmetic imperfections or irregularities" but to my surprise the item I received doesn't seem to have any cosmetic irregularities and if it does have them, the flaws are so small and minimal that I can't even notice them. Very happy with my purchase and the deal I got.

Better than expected

Such quality pieces - from the holder to the cards themselves. I truly appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into this product and I can't stress enough how nicely everything is made. The daily cards are sturdy and portable so even if you're not at a desk all day, you can take them with you to get your errands done and stay on track. The circles -- and really the half circles -- are the BEST. LOVE that you can "halfway" check something off if you're in the process of getting it done so you still feel some accomplishment. I don't think anyone could possibly be disappointed with this product.

Expectations Exceeded

I’ve had the Analog for a few weeks now and cannot believe I slept on it for so long. It is well-designed, practical, useful, and just the best. I’ll have been recommending it to everyone who will listen to me.
