  1. This approach would work for me if I were to start collecting notes now and expected to have just few dozens of notes at the most. But I've been collecting nested personal and business notes since Palm invented the first PDA. Since then I've migrated through four different platforms and apps combination. I hope to leave my family-notes as a legacy. For that purpose, a nested note system makes it easier and more intuitive to browse the notes without any preconception of a tag configuration.

    Yes is true... maybe.

    I mean, whenever I've had to look into someone else storage to find something I always felt lost, more or less. The fact is what seem us intuitive and logical is often a cognitive bias.

    So, I think the key, whatever the system you use, is to document your filling system. It is particulary true when you have to collab, share or transmit your infos, but even for a personnal use (do what I say, not what I do :unsure: ). Maybe, however, this need is more important with tagging system (I feel so in any case).

  2. Ok, I didn't understand what you meant Kevin.

     

    There must be several ways to do that, it depends of what you want to do with notes.

    You can have one index note per book. You can use it as a summary and TOC for other notes relative to the book...and you can give this index notes thematic tags.

     

    Tags you can also organize with nested tags & hierarchy, or you can just use  keywords at the beginning of the notes... the hardest thing IMO with EN is often to make a choice.

  3. OK understood. You will only need one filter in Gmail wich forwards all emails from calendar-notification@google.com

    to the Evernote address.

    This filter will forward all mail incoming from calendar-notification. It needs to be more accurate.

    Furthermore, people may use gmail forward-filters for some other process...

     

    Can you give an Example for lets say an recurring event.

    A screenshot would be fine, what someone has to paste into the fields.

    I don't really clearly understood the IFTTT thing I guess.

     

    For example for a recurring event like this.

    Newsletter !tomorrow @Office #marketing

     

    A step by step explanation would be cool, like I have done it before.

     

    Thank you.

    (you have to activate your calendar and evernote channels before this)

    In calendar : Create your recurring event like you do.

    You can add a specific keyword in description that will triggers the ifttt recipe. However it's optional, you can use a word from the event title for this.

    In Ifttt, go to the recipe page https://ifttt.com/recipes/175306-send-an-event-tagged-in-evernote-via-gmail

    I think the recipe is clear enought but here is a screenshot with details

  4. Well I didn't think too much about this, it's just an alternative for people who already use Ifttt recipes.

     

    But there are maybe some differences to take care about.

     

    - In gMail you can only set 20 filters to forwarding mails / you can copy Ifttt recipes and change searched terms as you want

    - with recipes you can email up to 5 adress at once (your EN mail included)

    - gmail process is more reliable  and ponctual (ifttt recipe fires within 15min of starting time)
