This is a great start with so much more potential. The addition of in-line tags and save-able task searches means I could always bring up a grocery list from multiple recipes with just one click on a shortcut!
Hi Vlad and Brittany, Great idea with the shopping list. I think I've taken it one step further. And cut a few corners from your version to make it faster and easier (at the cost of losing shopping lists for different stores). 1. Make all the ingredients in the recipe a task. 2. Open "Tasks" from the left column. Filter the view to the notebook where you keep your recipe. In my case "Recipes". Now all open tasks show as a shopping list. This view is also shown in the tasks widget on the home page. 3. Mark the task as done when you bought the ingredients BUT DON'T edit it back to a bullet list or whatever you used. Keep it as a done task. When you do this recipe again, you only have to unmark the task, and it will show on your shopping list again. I also put my note "Shopping list" in the notebook "Recipes". When shopping you might need more than food - toothpaste, deodorant, coffee, etc. My shopping list contains all the stuff I regularly buy, and I've made them into tasks. So I just unmark the things I need, and it will show up in the shopping list together with my recipe stuff. Images here: www.jarnhall.com/task-list.jpg Cheers! /Bosse
Hi Bosse, thanks for adding to the topic. As for item 3, I had the same thought. However, given what I know about Brittany, I may say that she only wants to keep the note looking good 😉
Suggestion: for recipes, can there be a markdown that when we type the time in recipe instructions, it can highlight it and when you click it a timer starts. For example: Bake cookies for “18 minutes”. Many recipe apps have this feature behind a paywall. I like the idea of tagging tasks with emojis and converting such tasks into a quick grocery list or organizing tasks by type. Again having markdown “#” built into tagging tasks would be very helpful.
Very interesting video! I've recently been thinking about the possibility of "tagging" tasks, so this helps a lot. One question - setting a completed task back to a bullet point in a checklist - I'm unclear of the process here and can't get it to work fully. Seems to be a problem if there are two tasks next to each other in the list for example. Would be good to see a clearer walk through of this process of resetting the task to a bulleted item.
Found the answer! You have to delete tjust he circular task symbol at the start of the line, that changes it back, then use ctrl+shift+B to reinsert the bullet point
@@vladcampos An even quicker way of putting the bullet point back in! Great stuff! All these little tips are of great benefit as there is so much functionality being added, it's not always easy to keep up with it all.
Liking Brittany's idea of using EN Home as "mission control". I need to review what widgets I actually need on Home. I don't think there's a need for the Tasks widget, as the Tasks flyout is just one click away on the sidebar, and I find the flyout more useful as you can have it display tasks by due date - which I find very useful to keep on top of what I should be doing.
Yes, it is a good idea to use Home as a mission control, or a dashboard, as I like to call it. I have many videos about it here on the channel. Here are some examples. ruclips.net/video/p8Rse1QvOLc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/NEOYniLJcPM/видео.html As for Tasks, I prefer them on Home. Below is a link to a video where I explain my reasons. ruclips.net/video/VtgFy04JRho/видео.html
Since before the release of Tasks, when I was trying the beta, I have been advocating for this. There are some reasons, and if I'm not mistaken, Jack Lynch, the Project Manager responsible for Tasks, talked about it during one of my interviews with him.

@@vladcampos Thanks for your reply. I can see that there is no plan for this. The problem is that he talked about context, but context is different for many users, so it could be really helpful. Anyway, I really appreciate your comment and job done. Great content!
Thank you, Vlad and Brittany, for the creative approach to tagging and flagging recipes and tasks. I was thinking of how to group like grocery items together and came up with using store departments as keywords: dairy, seafood, produce, etc. Similar items wouldn't necessarily be next to each other on the list, but they would be closer :) P.S. I am relatively new to Evernote and love, love, love it so thank you for all the tips and ideas!!!
First of all, welcome to the elephant herd, Kim. As for Brittany idea, I agree, there are so many options to explore. I think a trial-and-error approach is the best way to go. In other words, testing it in real life at the grocery store.
Getting more intrigued by this concept. Thinking about how "Recipes" can be translated into "Projects"... Maybe engage with GTD-style Next Actions? Looking forward to more videos!
I have a video about managing project in Evernote (link below). But I'm not a fan of GTD. Agile is my thing 😉 👇 ruclips.net/video/pJiWPv8hagw/видео.html
Fantastic video Vlad and Brittany! Have also been playing around with this. I manage about 30-40 projects in Evernote with areas of focus filtered by color: 🟣🔵🟢🟠. Complementary to the emoji recommendation, using just colors might make you remember them more easy. Works like a charm. And used the grocery example to give tasks a status if needed (limited to Waiting For only). Even though The task search is not as powerful as the generic Evernote search it goes a very long way already. Keep it up. Many thanks as always!

I do this. It allows me to "search" by emoji. 🖤🤍🧡💙💜. Now that I think about it, I could create grocery list and have a set of emoji that is related to a store. The colors of my emojis are also used in my calendar. I use block time often. If my block time is "blue" I search my "💙" tasks and work on those tasks.

👏 Saving the searches is a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Very enjoyable and so practical! Maintaining recipes is something every household needs. This is the "how to do it" for a digital world.
Hi Frank, thanks for stopping by 😉 I'm glad you enjoyed it! 💚
Evernote task to have Tags possible. This will increase productivity and usefulness of Evernote
I agree, this is a suggestion I gave back when 'Tasks' was still in beta.
Suggestion: for recipes, can there be a markdown that when we type the time in recipe instructions, it can highlight it and when you click it a timer starts. For example: Bake cookies for “18 minutes”.

You already have it, I noticed. By the way, another alternative to adding the bullet point is to type an asterisk and then press the space bar.

Good as an idea, but I wonder why evernote doesn't add tags on tasks anyway. They will help more people start using the complete system.
