You might want more, less or different ones. I also use contexts to distinguish between work and home tasks. Then, go through all tasks, and assign one of the tags listed above to each of them (if you need any help with this concept, do a quick google search or read one of those articles). That’s basically it, and my GTD-Setup in Evernote is ridiculously simple:Ĭapture all your tasks in your Inbox. I decide when - in a rough sense - I should do things without scheduling them. I do not schedule my Todos, unless they are time-sensitive.Team-wide task tracking notwithstanding, I use one system and only one system for my personal tasks. I have a Single Source of Truth for all my commitments.It counts.īut what stuck with me are a few key ideas David lays out, and they led me to a bastardized GTD that works for me. We’re not talking Marie Kondo-style organized, but still. I am busy, but I am not one of those super-overworked executives he uses as examples in his books. I never was able to follow Davids rules religiously, and I doubt that I was the main target audience of his system. The buzz about David Allens Getting Things Done might have fizzled out a couple years ago (and people now rather rave about slack and bitcoin). If a task is not in Evernote, it doesn’t exist. I keep everything I have to work on in my Evernote account. After a short transition period, Evernote completely replaced all other personal task trackers for me. Previously, I used the excellent Things app to track my tasks, but I somehow found it lacking. I’ve started using Evernote as my To-Do list a couple of years ago. But it actually can be so much more.Ī note: I am not affiliated with Evernote except from being a paying customer of theirs. In case you haven’t heard about Evernote, it is a note taking application. Reflecting that, here’s what Evernote does for me, and maybe can do for you, too. I realized that over the years, one application has taken over so many of my daily workflows that I can only consider it to be my Operating System. More like a growing sensation of understanding. Not one of those big ‚whoa, wait a second!‘ moments. How Evernote came to be my Operating SystemĪnd how that works out for me (spoiler: great).
