Organize your shit

not sure how it works, i was under the impression that its more complicated than a bunch of notes. there should be some structure/flow to it, no?
No, each note is different. Basically like pages in a notebook but you can tag each page with keywords, add photos to each "page" (and any text in said photos becomes searchable as well) and organize each one into "notebooks", etc.
Once you get in the habit of clipping articles/photos/content/making notes with Evernote you start to see how it becomes a workflow type tool.
Peasant.
dude you a peasant
stickynotes rocks notepad a million times over and it is standard on windows
and anything you paste in there gets saved instant unlike notepradzz
and textpad just kills notepads
^^ This.
Some of good guys praising Evernote here, can you please share some exampless of its awesomness? It's really hard to imagine why it's so great.
:girl:
Evernote + Outlook + GTD (Getting Things Done) = Full of Win
for a really good setup approach, check out what these guys have to say: The Secret Weapon Manifesto | The Secret Weapon: Evernote and GTD smoothly integrated into TSW
soo much easier to use one system when you are ADHD and have 27 different projects going 28 different ways.
I have a whiteboard in the office and one in the kitchen. I map shit out for work, todo lists and more todo lists. +1 for Evernote and Lastpass. I also use my girlfriend.
^^ I have ran across this site like 100 times but never went through it.
I think I will today since Mont brought it back up.
Thanks!
So many option here. Might consider some BUT have a few privacy concerns so just could not allow Evernote to take hold deleted from the iOs devices before even giving it a fair chance. Like that with all these apps. The Terms of Use always manage to conjure up the red X.
So for my house it's Microsoft OneNote for the bulk of things and a little Excel here and there and Notepad 2. OneNote syncs across all the devices in real-time or as needed which is a plus. Think the Notepad 2 is a carry over for needing to code things when Dreamweaver MX2004 would act silly years ago...
In fact, have the netbook with me right now and synced some outlines for a website concept just made on the main box...no need to login or anything. It just does it

Oh, and Whiteboards- just gotta spread some ink sometimes, ya know?

Week 2 of this, I'm doing it like 70% right and it's already made a huge difference in my throughput. TSW + Trello & Dropbox for collaborative projects = #winning.
Meaty and I are using Asana for projects too, not sure I understand how to use it but at least it emails me and tells me what to work on.
"Getting Things Done" helped me a lot. I got the book around a year ago. I think I saw it recommended on some random blog, and it was around $9 on Amazon. So, why not?
I'm still pretty "disorganized" but a lot better. I think it's more about finding the system and tools that work for you as individual, rather than specific apps. Deal with the mental process and sort things out. It doesn't matter as much what you use.
My whole basement is whiteboard. Plus I have multiple magnetic boards in my office and I used a giant roll of adhesive "whiteboard" roll that I'm pretty sure came from a deal someone posted here. I like things written out- so I have a lot of notebooks everywhere. Reading and writing things on paper connects with my brain better for whatever reason. Then I have multiple notepad files and notes on my phones.

@John
I am a GTD cultist, as it has litereally turned my life around at a point in the past... what you are doing is as far from GTD as possible.
Multiple notebooks, etc..
Geez.. ONE inbox, then process.
@grindstone
Also just starting with TSW .. simply because my fav phone app (pocketinformant) just took a nosedive to the land of unselessness.
