TdeV 88 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 My problem is more a philosopical one about data organization. My usual evernote is sorted in Last Updated order, because that tends to be what I'm currently working on. But I do run across stuff that I have to stuff into Evernote, and stuff gets updated, so there's a lot of irrelevant stuff in that list. I spends lots and lots of time trying to remember how I organized stuff in Evernote (i.e. I know that I made a bunch of notes which have url links on one introductory page, but what did I call the introductory page?) Everytime I add a new note, I try to remember how it fits into my life and I apply several tags. But I do not know absolutely that I have the right tags. The world is moving at a phenomenal rate and I have to just keep going. What would be really useful would be some routines that I could run automatically at the end of the day which would add tags to notes based on their content, then I would know that selecting tag x would really give me all the stuff that should be there. (i.e. I could create a long search which looked for stuff in the note but which didn't have the appropriate tag). Thanks for advice. Link to comment
ScottLougheed 1,316 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Here is a discussion about tags that could be helpful. There are links in those posts to further discussions and specific use cases. http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/57740-the-benefit-of-using-tags/ Specifically regarding looking for mis-tagged or un-tagged notes is this post from the discussion linked to above:http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/57740-the-benefit-of-using-tags/?p=274180 In many cases using detailed titles (what constitutes "detailed" will depend on your personal case of course!) can overcome less-than-exact tagging when coupled with the intitle: search syntax. Perhaps there is a plethora of other posts around here on the topic of tagging and organization that might be worth perusing, through you aren't a newcomer so I'm sure you've already been down those roads! A discussion about Evernote Housekeeping might be nice to have here! Link to comment
