Contrast this to a list based approach, you can see the full next action without further navigation. If you have a long note title (next action), you need to click on the note to read the entire next action. Screen utilization is better: The middle column of Evernote desktop is narrow. When you use a notebook based approach to organizing, both the note title and note body are in play.
With a tag based approach to list management, all of the notes that are simple “next-actions” only use the note title field. Note utilization is better: Notes have two “fields”: a note title, and a note body.
You use fewer notes: If you don’t have to create a note for each and every next action, you will have fewer notes. When compared, the two approaches to list making begin to illustrate what I call an “efficiency advantage” to a notebook based organizational approach for GTD in Evernote. In this example, you see, using the checkbox feature how:Ģ: Checkboxes are used to indicate open/completed itemsģ: Note links are used to provide navigation to supporting information/notesĪlthough both approaches successfully generate lists, each approach is fundamentally different. When you use notebooks to organize your data in Evernote, lists are created on notes - either by using the checkbox feature, or Evernote’s Tasks feature.
