Note with a lot of tasks not staying checked (reverse checked grocery list)

[notetakeingguy 90]

I tried to see if putting my grocery list as a set of tasks would work, and I'm having problems. The note was previously a checklist. I replaced every checkist item by Inserting a Task right there. Then I checked it off. The idea is that if I need an item, I will UNCHECK it, causing it to then appear in the Tasks area.

However, after doing that, it keeps on its own unchecking items. Maybe I have too many? And the Tasks bar shows many, many duplicates, many of them unchecked. It's like it can't handle so many tasks.

If nobody answers, try support,

That's a really cool approach to surfacing items. I hope Evernote support is able to get it working for you... I'm following along to learn as well!

Unfortunately, it was bringing my entire Evernote system down. I feared corrupting it and losing Evernote, which I depend on heavily so carefully removed every task from that note, and then deleted the note. I'll have to work on it another time when I am able to make regular backups of Evernote.

 

Over the weekend, I initially liked Tasks. However, I also run an older copy of Evernote on my computer too, and can see Tasks doesn't work with it. And my fear of corrupting the Evernote. I also see that Tasks doesn't work for my wife, who has a free subscription. I currently use Any.do for personal tasks and will consider whether or not to switch to Evernote.

 

I use Microsoft To-Do for work, which is the best.

Using Evernote as a task manager is a joke. Their are many, many task managers out there.  Any of them would be better.

I also use Microsoft To-Do. Use it with the ios Fantastical calander app on your iPhone.  It is exceptional.

Thank you for posting. I just added a few words as a reminder that the world is not turning around your belly button.
