Ian Matthews 0 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hi. I am trying to set up a Getting Things Done system using Evernote (setting up on my Mac) and I am getting unstuck on one aspect. If I create a note for a project then list all the things that need to be done for that project in that note, it seems that I need to manually duplicate the entry of all those things into the relevant context notebook (e.g. calls, waiting for etc). This seems to double up the amount of time I spend noting down all the steps of a project - am I missing something? Thanks so much for your help! Link to comment

It allows me produce a current task list using a search shortcut (reminderOrder:* -reminderTime:day+1 -reminderDoneTime:*) Link to comment
