One of the best things about Evernote is Forums like this with helpful inventive people. Thanks for your suggestions which I'll try. However, it would be great if Evernote could solve our problem with a pin-the-note solution.

Come on, Evernote, the ability to pin a note at the top of a Notebook would be hugely helpful.

Agreed, GTD enthusiasts would benefit greatly if tags could be assigned to individual tasks. Fingers crossed Evernote/Bending Spoons are listening in to these conversations

Thank you for your thoughts regarding tags allocated to tasks. What an ingenious group you are. Despite all the wonderful ideas and work around, I still favour being able to tag to an individual task as it seems the most straightforward solution from a user point of view.

Thanks AGSteele. I think what many of us want is the ability to tag task rather than notes so that you can add a context to each task. For example in a Note you may have six different tasks eg phone Bill, Email Florence. develop plan with Sid etc Many people want to group phone calls, meetings, visits etc and tags attached to tasks would facilitate this.

Another clever workaround. Thank you for sharing it. I hope Evernote are watching and more importantly, working on a process that will allow a simple way to group tasks and filter them. Tags seems like a good place to start

Thanks for the update. A very neat solution. I use Todoist, so I see your logic. It would be great to be able to just switch to Evernote for all tasks like you but I need more options like "context" and "tags". Thanks for sharing your idea.

Sadly, your screenshots are clipped, so it isn't easy to see how you've organised things. I'm asking for a simple way of tagging tasks rather than inventing clever workarounds, though there is fun in doing that!

Thanks for this info very useful. I'm trying to figure out a way of grouping tasks so I can sort them differently from the available "Due, Assigned, Notes and my Tasks" for example group as "Today, This Week, Next Week, This Month, Next Month, Someday". Giving all tasks a due date get's close but is laborious and can be overwhelming. Tags might not be the answer for the reasons you've explained. Some way of customising or adding user-defined groups in addition to the currently available "Due Dates Assigned, My Tasks etc. might be a way forward.

Yet another clever workaround and simple to execute. Thank you for sharing.

Agree. We live in the hope that Evernote will add tags to tasks opening up new ways of managing projects and other things.

Some very creative workarounds, but it would save all this extra work if Evernote would bring in the ability to tag tasks.☺️

Interesting idea can you elaborate or give an example?

Good idea. Perhaps another route is to have a notebook called Tasks. You then create a tasks page for each of your projects and place them in the Tasks notebook with backlinks to your other project notes?

Thanks AGSteele. I think I'll put it forward as a development idea. Thanks for you help and time.
