Salter55 4 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Evernote is an important part of my workflow when it comes to projects I manage for my clients. I recently explored the new'ish task management functionality (I used Todoist in the past). I now consider this feature to be a value multiplier for Evernote as a whole. Most of my meetings will include follow up tasks, and there's no better way to do so than in the context of my notes. Kudos to Evernote's product management team, and of course usability people (UI is so very well done) and devs. 4 Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,006 Posted May 17, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Thanks for this. I'm planning to get into tasks soon. I'm self-unemployed, so it's a different work environment, but I see possibilities there. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,785 Posted May 17, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted May 17, 2022 If Budda would live today, he would have chosen the concept of self-unemployment as being the modern solution for „Nirvana“. What I like about tasks: It converts content - any content - into an actionable object. This together with sharing is a very powerful combination. EN clearly had self-unemployed users in mind when they created the new Professional subscription level: Good features to coordinate other self-unemployed folks, and just the right price level to neutralize the fact that it is now tax deductible - the net subscription price it that of Personal, after taxes … 3 Link to comment

Also 100% agree on power of having tasks sit inside your notes, instead of attaching your notes onto a task. It really plays to EN's strengths, when you get used to it. 1 Link to comment
idoc 413 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Would love some concrete ie:actual examples of how people use this. I'm still trying to figure all this out. For example, let's say I have a doctor's appt on July 10. Currently I set a reminder on my iphone for July 9th at night to ring my phone at 10pm. This will show me that there is an appt with the doctor the next day. Alternatively, I could set a google calendar reminder on July 10 but ask it to send me an email one day and 2 hours before. The third option is to set a task in EN but I haven't figured out a way to have that task ring my phone loudly enough to that I'm aware of it. I do not have a work flow that requires specific tasks attached to specific projects; rather, my tasks would be various things to remember, appointments, stuff I need to do etc. I would like ultimately to find one way of doing them all.

You don't have to use them. I'm not until recuring tasks and ways to email in tasks arrives. I tend to split events and tasks. For me, a Drs appointment is an event, so it goes in the calendar. I look at my calendar multiple times a day and get a reminder 24 hours and 1 hour before an event starts. Tasks are for things I must do like write a report, invoice a client, create a presentation etc. You fit the tools into your workflow but it's fine if you don't use them. Link to comment

I'm trying to get out of the habit of looking at my Tasks, iphone reminders and Google calendar all the time to catch the different things I need to do. Or trying to figure out where to put a specific thing. I'm hoping to phase out at least one of these three things so I only need to keep checking the other two throughout the day. Link to comment
Abdelziz 0 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I completely agree with you. For me, there is nothing more convenient than an Evernote for scheduling work tasks. And recently, I also began to understand my expenses as I realized it was time to learn how to save. Link to comment
