Very cool! Congratulations!

Hello everyone,

BitQwik is now officially in the Evernote Trunk, in the Productivity section:

http://trunk.evernot...bitqwik/windows

I am very happy about this and wish to offer a personal thanks to Gervis, the Evermpte Trunk Manager, for the helpful suggestions he gave me that led to critical improvements to the product.

Just downloaded. My first impressions: http://www.attorneym...ier-well-sorta/

I just communicated with the dev and he has some great things planned. Looks like this will be a keeper.

You can read the article on the webapp and use Clearly.

Just bought Scrivener and I am delighted to learn that note links work (and are clickable!)

I used to have Area of Focus tags but I found something that worked better for me. I pre-pend my tags based on area of focus. So, if my business is abc, tags for that area of focus are abc-blog, abc-ideas, abc-training, and so on. This allows me to organize and filter as needed by AofF. It also lets me organize tags for easier browsing and, of course, eliminated the extra AofF tag.

I do all GTD in Evernote now. The only thing I miss is calendar integration but I post note links in gCal and this works well enough (for now).

It might be easier to make a list of things we DON'T use EN for!

Sales and marketing:

• Forms, checklists, scripts, letters, emails
• Lists: Vendors, suppliers, consultants
• Sales and support documents
• Prospect tracking and follow-up
• Customer data/CRM
• Copy "swipe" file
• Training new hires/VA's
• Training new customers (set up, usage, troubleshooting)
• FAQ's
• Ads, direct mail pieces, radio scripts, press releases
• Testimonials, endorsement letters, awards

Attorneys:

• Sample documents/pleadings
• Client data
• Case history
• Witness statements
• Interview forms and checklists
• Evidence inventory
• Jury instructions
• Pleading templates
• Investigation (witness statements, police reports, photos, etc.)
• Executed documents (contracts, leases, trusts, corporate minutes, etc.)
• Instructions: to caregivers, witnesses, clients, experts, etc.
• Sales and marketing. . .

Yep, I had the same issues and now use tags instead of notebooks for GTD:

• !!Today
• !Next
• Projects (Empty tag; active projects are nested)
• @Errands
• @Read/Review
• @Someday/Maybe (includes inactive projects and a few special categories, i.e, book ideas)
• @Waiting
• Reference (empty; nested tags for anything not actionable)

One default notebook ("Inbox") and one Notebook ("My Notes") for everything once it has been processed.
