New tools

Blaming my tools

Posted on November 30, 2009 by Jeff

I was going to talk about my new sooper seekrit plan to release and mar­ket Uni­fi­ca­tion Chron­i­cles today, but I expe­ri­enced some tech­ni­cal dif­fi­cul­ties recently that I just have to rant about. We’ll get to the busi­ness plan stuff, I promise. Even­tu­ally. But … Con­tinue read­ing →

Evernote and the Google problem

Posted on September 23, 2009 by Jeff

We’ve all seen the new Bing com­mer­cials show­ing peo­ple suf­fer­ing from search engine over­load. I can iden­tify with those thus afflicted, since I go through that every day. Only it’s not hit­ting me when I search Google; it’s hit­ting me when I search Ever­note. … Con­tinue read­ing →

Notebooks or tags with Evernote?

Posted on September 1, 2009 by Jeff

I’ve got­ten a few ques­tions about how I use tags and note­books in Ever­note. Now, while I think one of the cool things about Ever­note is that you can set it up how­ever makes the most sense to you per­son­ally, I real­ize it helps … Con­tinue read­ing →

Evernote for GTD, simplified

Posted on August 28, 2009 by Jeff

If I’m going to use Ever­note for GTD because of how amaz­ing it is as an uni­ver­sal inbox, I need to develop a sys­tem that actu­ally exploits Evernote’s strengths, rather than sim­ply trans­lat­ing the paper note­book GTD work­flow to it. Ever­note is … Con­tinue read­ing →

Evernote Mobile gets a facelift

Posted on July 24, 2009 by Jeff

As my Twit­ter fol­low­ers know, I’ve been pretty peeved with Ever­note recently. The iPhone client ver­sion has decided that it absolutely, pos­i­tively will not com­plete a sync with the Ever­note servers on my 3G. I’ve done every­thing I can, even sent my … Con­tinue read­ing →

Cross platform GTD in Evernote

Posted on May 26, 2009 by Jeff

I got a request on Twit­ter recently (hi, @girvo!) to update how I use GTD now that I’ve switched plat­forms. It’s pretty sim­ple, and if you’ve been read­ing my stuff recently, it should come as no sur­prise that I’m doing it almost … Con­tinue read­ing →

Evernote, the universal notebook

Posted on April 21, 2009 by Jeff

Every­one knows Ever­note is great for note tak­ing, but what else are note­books for? Specif­i­cally, for writ­ers? That’s right, drafts. And with Ever­note, I can com­pose both arti­cles and fic­tion on any device: locked down work PC, desk­top at home, net­book, … Con­tinue read­ing →
