On the 1 do I need to modify all the reminders to 10/01 or would they still appear on 10/01 with the search even if the reminder is still 09/30?Īlso is there an easy way to set reminders with shortcuts? I can't find any shortcut, but I may be wrong? How do you proceed with items you couldn't proceed for today? For example today is 0 and I cannot do 3 items. I begin to understand how your system works, I need to think about it a little more to make it perfectly clear. For all of my projects almost all of the actions are independent from each other. I have many tasks to do at the same time: write something for my patients, give some calls, do some little actions. I'm more concerned about your 0-Now, 1-Next, 2-Following. >If I understand it all, it seems we have pretty similar way of proceeding, just that you're using reminder where I use tags?
The "someday" list also needs periodic reviews Reminders don't require an actual date, also equivalent to do it now set a date if appropriate, it could be today's date (do it now) assign it to a project, my default is "Project - None" In periodic project reviews (weekly?), check the task list and adjust dates as required. Every time a task is completed, identify the Next Action(s) and set the date on project setup identify the first task(s) and set the date.
And whatever method, it has to suit your eye. Whatever the case, one does have to invest the time in working the task backlog, be it dated or tagged. Sounds a bit more complicated than it is, but it helps me stay focused. When dated stuff is complete for a day I will pull from the tagged backlog. I have saved searches for dated tasks of Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday, Late, Next 7 and the like. Sometimes a tagged task gets a date to force priority when the need arises. This system has morphed to where most now items are dated and the less urgent tasks are tagged. Neither list is overly long on any given day. So I have two stacks to manage, dated (gotta get done) and the rest. For anything that has a specific date requirement or I want to get done on a specific date I apply a reminder with a date.
Relative to task management, I started using a hybrid system of tags and reminders with dates. I prefer tags over notebooks in any case. I just mentioned the notebook method since others have referenced it. I just needed to be more rigorous about it.Ĭould very well be. By reading you, I'm thinking that my system wasn't that bad. The system seemed to fit pretty well, but it needs more efforts along the week. I found the tag system to be complete, it just took a little time everynight, not too much after all. I tried the notebook system, but it didn't work for me. I'm wondering if another system could be better? Do you have any idea? What do you personally use? See if all the actions I couldn't proceed in "0" should remain in "0" or be placed into another tag

The downside of this system is that I need to update it every evening: 3 lists all the items I need to proceed during this week with no particular order) For now I use a tag system as below (0 is for all the items I need to proceed today, 1 for tomorrow, and 2 for the day after. The When part is the part I'm questioning myself is the time management. Where: where can the action be taken (anywhere, work, home, on any computer.) What: what action is needed (call, email, errand.) What project: guitar, word, professional. Non actionnable notes are tagged with the ".cabinet" tag and placed into the proper folders I use Evernote as my main and only system to take note, but also as my task list. Hi everyone, I've got some questions about the "Task management system" in Evernote.
