Why was I even trying to move them to emClient? Your article hammers that reason down pretty well. I decided the time overheard of having to replicate into another system was not worth it, and continued with Evernote. And just two days ago, I had Evernote opened alongside emClient (an email program that integrates with Google Tasks), copying over tasks from Evernote to emClient. I have actually recently starting using Evernote now for my task management. To get on the email list, go here.įiled Under: Blog, Featured, Leadership, ProductivityĪs a recent user of Evernote and long time user of task list organizers (primarily ones that integrate with Google Tasks), I would strongly agree on this. It’ll be practical and easy and quick to read. PS: I have an ebook releasing in May about managing productivity. You may get it to work with an IFTTT hack or something, but for me, I don’t mind having 2 hubs of productivity that can communicate easily with one another. Sure, you can try Evernote for your project manager/to-do list. Evernote it too robust to be a true getting things done system. There’s something motivating about checking off a task and watching it go away. It’s a small, but truly important thing that we lose seeing the task disappear after we complete it as well. I’m afraid we’ll lose a lot of the easy access that a true inbox in a to-do list provides. The danger is that when we go to mind dump a task into a task manager, it takes too much time to find the right notebook and note. I’ve tried rolling to-do’s into Evernote and I lost so much of what a true to-do list offers. It’s great to house longer notes and ideas that can then be linked in ToDoist. Does Evernote integrate well with a project manager like ToDoist? Sure. There’s no quick access or quick dump or action step lists or even sub projects or tasks. They’ve tried to make it a little more friendly toward housing project management and to-do’s, but it’s just not for that. There’s a secret weapon people have tried to use to make it a good to-do system. I know they’ve tried with check box integration and reminders. The one thing that you won’t find in my Evernote notebook? A to do list.

Templates for different things, my wife, and reference materials all have a tag (along with a few more). For a few things here and there that I know will have notes across the many notebooks I have (I probably need to skim that down some), I use tags.

For work stuff and anything else, there’s a notebook in my Evernote for it. For personal stuff, we have a family notebook that Melissa and I share. From clipping things across the internet to storing files I want to be able to access anywhere, Evernote is the swiss army knife of productivity and my workflow. I’ve written about how much Evernote means to my every day life in the past.
