Raghav 0 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I have been using evernote premium for about 5 years now. Over the years, number of tags & notebooks have only been increasing and organizing notes has become a pain & i'm looking for better ways. In terms of workflow, every time a user creates a note, he/she can add a tag to it and move it to a specific notebook. Instead of this workflow, is it possible to associate a default tag with a notebook and organize/move any newly created note with that specific tag into the associated notebook automatically? In this case, workflow for the user would be - create a note & add a tag. User does not have to explicitly move the note to any notebook. Link to comment

Which platform(s)? I use a script (Mac) to assign my tags/notebook; it would be easy to associate the notebook with the tag. It seems redundant. The tag has identified the note; what purpose does the notebook serve? I can see a use case; All notes for project abc (tag) get assigned to to a shared notebook for team access. Other than these special purpose notebooks, my notes are assigned to notebook FilingCabinet Link to comment

I realize that the simplest suggestion would be to use the tag itself as a hashing key or notebook. but then like you mentioned, there are benefits in organizing notes in specific notebooks (i think of it as folders). I use hazel on my mac to tag and organize/move files (particularly downloaded files ) to specific folders based on the tag. I'm essentially looking for some similar mechanism for notes.

My scripts are AppleScript on a Mac. You're possibly using AppleScript in your Hazel process. In processing notes in my Inbox (default notebook) I use a dialog to identify the note type choose from list notetypeList with prompt "Specify Note Type" with multiple selections allowedAfter further dialogs, I assign title, tags, notebook, reminder, calendar, ... assign tag theTag to theNote move theNote to notebook theNotebook Link to comment
