Very similiar to my original posting - I use additional notebooks once tagged, but I have since added in more powerful tag and search features. Cheers!

I originally started out like you did, using a single note for each project and using the next action for the title. I ended up having two problems with that, the first being that it wasn't always clear what project the action was associated with. And second, some of my projects required additional support notes that got to be too cumbersome in a single note. Of course your answer to that is the search feature. This is something I've never given enough of a chance. I'm a little OCD about organization, so I rely on more tags and rarely use the search function. You say it works. I'm going to commit to giving it a shot. I still like my implementation of projects. At the least it gives you an easy way to review all your projects weekly. Check out how I do it here: http://examinehealth.com/personal-productivity/69-gtd-and-evernote.html I also follow your intuitive cherry picking from to do lists, although I've implemented a system to bring my most important tasks to the top. It's helpful when there's something that really NEEDS to get done. I'm really curious about sorting context by energy levels or time. I've felt there could be improvements to the original context implementation. Have you tried this yet? How did it work for you? I really like your approach here.

When I set up search tag:* it returns all items with any tag attached to them. What am I doing wrong? Really useful stuff, the only thing I cannot get to work is the !inbox search.
