I can find and add evernote widgets to my iphone... but for some reason they aren't coming up as widget options on my MacBook. I see every other app I have installed coming up as possible widget options to add ontop my desktop... but none for Evernote. Is this a bug with my laptop or are widgets not available on mac book desktop for some reason? Thanks for any help!

I do what @ianfm suggests pretty much. Works awesome. Most of my tasks do fall into projects - but I just create individual notes for all the one-off tasks too. On a side note...I've done it both ways (having a big master list for one-off tasks and ) and I have found individual notes for one-off tasks works for me better in being able to process tasks quickly and consistently the same way. Inside each note I individually "tag" each task myself. I put the "tag" at the end of the task title by using "@calls" or "@quick" or "@computer" or "@athome", etc. I sometimes put mulitple "tags" on each task (aka. the task might be "Reply to caterer regarding parent event @quick @computer @atschool". I always put "no date" reminders on all notes that should/will or do contain actual tasks so that I can quickly find any notes that should have a next action task on it....but don't. I will, however, set the note to the REAL due date/time instead of the project/thing if I really have one.... and also put it on my calendar automatically using zapier. For the individual tasks within task or project notes... I will put a reminder on the task for some point in the future of when I want to remember to think about it or consider doing it then. The only "due dates" that go on my tasks or my notes are those that are FIRM. This keeps my calendar uncluttered and REAL. I always have one task reminder going for at least 1 action task in every project... for me that makes sure nothing slips through the cracks. Honestly, this has allowed me to quickly use the task manager or search to pull up really whatever I want. I can pull up task manager to see things that are sorted as a list by reminder due/dates, note, flagged, etc. OR if I'm sitting in the car waiting and have nothing to do - I can run a quick task search based on context like @quick or @calls (or both) and pull up all my individual tasks that might suit that situation - project ones or one-offs. I prefer doing this vs using evernote's built in tags due to the limitations of their tags in evernote only being on individual notes and not on the individual tasks (which is what I want). The other nice thing is if I'm working inside a specific project note - I can change/update the individual task's context or status quickly by just typing a different "tag" onto it (@waitingfor) etc. as things move forward. I don't have to click to remove tags or add them or move them to another notebook or anything. I put a screenshot here if it helps anyone. I'm a visual person - so seeing how others have done things/organized really helped me find my system. All my tasks are either inside a project note inside my Projects List notebook or if "one off" tasks, they each have their own note and have been sorted by it's "main" context folder. The reason I do my "one-off" tasks this way (and not on one main list or something) is I have my email setup in zapier to forward emails to Evernote that I mark "action-on". I like it this way as i can then quickly create a task from the email created note of whatever action I need to do and just drag/drop the email note into the correct context notebook after. I do the same thing with reminders that come from my apple watch while I'm on the move - I just have them forwarded into evernote automatically as a note (can use IFTTT for this) and then I process it in the same manner. I really "dump" everything into evernote now - out of my brain into evernote! This way no matter HOW it gets into evernote - I consistency find/see/process my tasks the same way so they never get lost or forgotten.
