That’s really useful as I’ve been struggling to see the point of tasks in Evernote when my tasks are in Todoist. I’m going to revisit Evernote and see how I can replicate your examples. Great job as always!
Thank you Carl! There is an approach that you always store the data where you need them. Ideally, it would be better to have the tasks directly in the note because then you have everything in the same place. For the whole thing to work, you just need a global view of all tasks and that's what Evernote can do. However, over the years I have become familiar with linking in Todoist, especially since it works very well. Tasks in Evernote is for me still something "do I really need that?"
Thank you for this tip as I was struggling with how to integrate Evernote with my task manager (any.do which is OK), and I really didn't want to copy Evernote note links into any.do. The tickler idea is great. When I scan things at home or clip them from the web, they go in Evernote. Recently, I scanned information about purchasing my kids yearbooks (deadline in April), and clipped a summer camp pack list into Evernote. Based on the tips here, I added a reminder to them, since the deadlines are far off, so they don't clutter up my any.do task list. For work, I use OneNote and Microsoft To-Do, and the integration is much better (and with Outlook). To-Do has the plan view similar to what you showed here from Evernote. However, Evernote's search and tagging, both of which I use a lot, are much, much better than OneNote.
Great video! Want to comment that This can work too with Apple Notes. Create a smart folders with open tasks and you can have quick access. Not as good but it works.
Excellent use of the Tickler (abstracted from daily notes) in EN with the power of task/labels that are only in task... 005. So Aston or Bentley - that is the question? Nice mix of GTD - elements of that in a more electronic environment, and a re-emphasis of the weekly planning mode - accessibility of the right notes to make those planning decisions... and with the full cleanout of those inboxes that we have scattered about. The task inside the note - saves me so much 'explanation' and for those slightly smaller projects - several tasks scattered over 20 or 30 notes - with filters/tags of project name works well to mean the time blocking management say Project 'C' is blocked out for Tuesday am - I can quickly shuffle any or all of those 'do-able' project 'C' tasks. And yes - still don't see EN going away... but we will see in the next few months as The Spoons start moving things over...
First - kudos on the Dr. No references. Well Done. Second - this is an area, among many, that I need to begin using. I recently switched from a PC to a Mac at work, and the workflows I was using with MS Outlook, OneNote, and the OneNote integration with MSFT To Do are no longer relevant as the integrations of Office on a Mac are not the same as on a PC. Thanks for the quick lessons.
Thanks for this video. I use Nimbus Notes, which is similar to Evernote and also has tasks, which I've thought was superfluous, but I can see how it could be useful since some of my notes relate to my work and would probably lend itself to the same type of treatment.
I'm among those who want EN to add tags to Tasks. A simple example: Priority 1, Priority 2, Priority 3. Each of these could then be visualized on HOME with a tag filter. I'd also like a way of pulling a Task to Today or Future on the Task sidebar, instead of having to open each task and changing the date, and resaving it.
Hi Ellis, I start from the premise that Evernote is a notes app. Attempting to turn it into a task manager will require a lot of compromises and that will never end well.
Thank you for all your great videos. Will you still be using Todoist? or how are you combining them? Just started using todoist after seeing your videos
Start with the built in apps on your devices (Windows - OneNote, ToDO/Planner and Outlook) once you know how you will ultimately use these tools, you can look for something more in tune with how you work.
It's great to see Carl Pullein come back and make Evernote videos.
Hahaha thank you.

I use it to keep Todoist clean and tight.

Thank you for sharing! I wasn't aware of this feature.
You're very welcome.

You're right, these ideas will work well in Nimbus.

Of course. Evernote is simply a support for me. It will never replace Todoist.
I need a good project manager or note-taking app/software/website.
What should I use?
Start with the built in apps on your devices (Windows - OneNote, ToDO/Planner and Outlook) once you know how you will ultimately use these tools, you can look for something more in tune with how you work.
@@Carl_Pullein Alright, thanks! This helps.
@@Carl_Pullein how about Mac & IOS ecosystem
@@callmeNeno Apple Notes, Reminders and Apple Calendar.
@@Carl_Pullein thanks 🙏
Surprised to not see Quarrel in your client list!
Hahahaha good point.
Even though I've read GTD, the tickler file is still something I've not been able to 'get' yet! 🤔
I think in the digital age, it's largely redundant now. It was helpful when we were analogue and hybrid.
@@Carl_Pullein makes sense. 🙂
Is this video for everyone or is it only for Evernote users?
I’d say for Evernote users (although I believe Nimbus Notes also have dedicated tasks)
Helpful video but please - get a pop filter for your microphone!
It too fast to learn that about Evernote tasks. As sorry some deaf it is too hard to for this.
😊
Since you always have to connect a task to a note, Evernote is totaly useless as task manager.
