You can also create nested notebooks within notebooks to create a hierarchy of notebooks to organize your notes. Emails, pictures, other web services like Facebook, Twitter (via services like IFTTT), even hardware devices like the Fujitsu ScanSnap. There is no limit to how deep your hierarchy. Evernote has more or less, became my extended brain. One of my latest experiments with Evernote is to use Evernote as a task manager to integrate into my GTD workflow. Luckily, Evernote allows you to organize all of your notes into three different tiers. I’ve been trying a few setups, spending quite a few dollars ( ahem) buying different apps and services, and i’m glad to say that i’m pretty close to what i describe as productivity nirvana. To help you make sense of that, a stack contains a series of notebooks, and a notebook contains a series of notes. I keep all of my professional life organized in one stack called. GTD, or short for Getting Things Done, is the “work-life management” methodology designed by David Allen. It’s important to think of how and why you will be using Evernote before actually starting to create notebooks and tagging stuff.īasically it is a set of steps designed to help, as the name implies, people get things done. I won’t go into detail describing the concepts of GTD and explaining the terminologies, instead you should checkout David’s book.

Inbox notebook and I try not let this notebook exceed 15-30 items, as it takes approximately 5-10 minutes to process that many new notes.

I just wanted to share how my setup looks like, and perhaps you can share with me yours and we can compare notes (pun intended, heh).
