This is the Sidekick Notepad.
0:01
Your new desk capture companion,
0:03
here to help you stay organized and look good,
0:06
like a good sidekick should.
0:07
Slimly sized to sit between you and your keyboard,
0:10
as tested by thousands of users on all their different desktops,
0:13
where sidekick fits,
0:14
ready to help them all out.
0:15
How?
0:16
Well, with its little list and capacious capture canvas,
0:18
your Sidekick remembers for you,
0:20
in the prominent way only paper provides.
0:23
Get a great idea while in the middle of other work?
0:25
Well in that moment, with paper,
0:27
you don't need to make the decision of
0:29
where does this go digitally?
0:31
How does this sort into the
0:33
infinite space that exists inside your computer
0:36
with thousands of things that take up no space
0:39
in the world or in your mind.
0:42
No! Just jot ideas, deadlines, deliverables
0:45
or other daily doings, as they come up,
0:47
quickly and quietly, without changing context
0:49
or getting digitally distracted.
0:51
At the end of the day,
0:52
put these pieces Sidekick saved where they need to go.
0:55
And when everything is processed,
0:56
tear off the sheet,
0:57
and you're all set for the next day,
1:00
with another tri-state checklist to keep you on track,
1:02
and Sidekicks dot grid designed
1:04
to give you the best of both lined
1:06
and grid paper.
1:07
I know.
1:07
You're probably skeptical of those dots,
1:09
I was too when they first came up in the design process,
1:12
having lived only the lined life,
1:13
but I've been converted to dots as foremost for flexible capture.
1:17
They let you write like it's lined,
1:19
no problem,
1:19
even if you've got positively primitive penmanship,
1:21
or easily divide the page
1:23
in any way you want,
1:24
as if...a grid.
1:25
And dots are great for a doodle.
1:28
#dotlife
1:28
Now, with your Sidekick Notepad
1:30
helping you to design and doodle,
1:32
capture and check off commitments,
1:33
you might want to bring it in a bag.
1:35
Which is why it's got this sturdy cover
1:37
to keep clean and neat while it comes along.
1:39
Because a Sidekick is here to help you
1:41
in meetings that matter.
1:43
Now, of course,
1:43
lots of meetings don't matter,
1:45
time wasting, life sucks
1:46
where everyone has laptops open
1:48
and you know no one is paying attention.
1:51
I've had many hours of experience
1:52
hiding in the back of a hall,
1:54
as I made the best of things,
1:56
processing paperwork.
1:57
In this kind of meeting, sorry,
1:59
Sidekick can't help you,
2:00
nothing can.
2:01
But for meetings that matter.
2:03
Where there's real work to get done,
2:04
clients to impress,
2:05
Sidekicks got your back.
2:07
Right from the first impression,
2:08
slip out your Sidekick,
2:09
flip it open with a little flash,
2:11
and you've got an agenda ready.
2:12
A spot to take notes, sketch ideas,
2:14
and at the end agree on next actions.
2:16
Demonstrating, in a physical open way,
2:19
that you are paying attention
2:21
and taking this serious,
2:22
in a way that a screen,
2:24
in between,
2:24
just can't.
2:25
The power of paying attention with paper,
2:27
in my repeated experience,
2:29
really makes an impression on other people.
2:31
Ooh, what's that?
2:32
It's me.
2:33
Paying full attention to you.
2:35
So Sidekick has been trialed by so many,
2:37
and even been used in some
2:39
insanely secure settings
2:41
where serious thinking needs doing
2:43
about serious things.
2:44
The sort of settings I'd say by name,
2:46
but probably shouldn't,
2:47
but even the most important of meetings
2:49
you want to keep as short as possible
2:52
and that's where the cover comes in again,
2:54
to convey subtly,
2:55
yet strongly,
2:56
Okay, we're done now, let us make our way to the door.
2:59
While I live most of my life online,
3:01
I'm a big believer in
3:02
the power of paper, for productivity,
3:05
which is part of why I co-created
3:06
the Cortex Company
3:07
to craft high quality notebooks.
3:09
And boy, are these quality!
3:11
Each one handmade in London.
3:13
Lovely, with traditional techniques,
3:14
by a team with decades of experience
3:16
that cares about the details.
3:18
The paper is quality thick, won't curl
3:20
and has been intensively tested by pen efficientatos
3:23
to make sure sharp lines won't bleed,
3:25
for both fountain pens and roller balls.
3:27
And if there's one thing,
3:28
we really care about at Cortex,
3:31
it's that the pages tear cleanly.
3:33
[zip]
3:34
Ahhh. So satisfying.
3:35
And that's the Sidekick Notepad.
3:37
Your capture companion.
3:38
Here to help you remember,
3:40
design,
3:40
dream.
3:41
do whatever you need,
3:42
while looking good.
