Managing To Dos With Evernote
- 1. Managing to-dos & more in Evernote
- 2. My Issue Keeping up with 25+ accounts with: – 5+ notebooks – ∞ Post-It Notes – 20+ pens – Hundreds of flagged emails in Outlook
- 3. I used this method for almost 2 years. And wondered why I was forgetting things and completely unorganized. “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
- 4. Change often seems simple • But… – Breaking bad organization habits is hard – Creating a routine on another platform requires work, commitment – Initially extra work, but potentially a pay off
- 5. Left with 2 Choices! Option 1: Keep my forgotten notebooks, post-its and flagged emails. Stay unorganized, lost and eventually become left behind. Option 2: Get better. Find a method. Stick to it. Be more efficient. Seem more awesome because of it.
- 6. The Solution Imagine to-do lists, action items, client notes, ideas in 1 place. • In a way that is easy to review. • And a method that’s easy to stick to.
- 7. Method: The Secret Weapon Manifesto + my edits to make it work for my work load. Things You Need • Evernote • The Secret Weapon Manifesto
- 8. Setting Up: Notebooks • Action Pending: mainly for to-do items • Cabinet: Client notes, meeting notes – things to reference • Completed: This is a feel good notebook. You want to move things here. • IDEAS: Optional
- 9. Setting Up: Tags .Client – Ex: Client X, Client Y .What – .Active Projects, .Inactive Projects, .SEO Meetings, .IDEAS, Read / Review .When – !Daily, 1-Today, 2-Tomorrow, 3-This Week, 4-This Month, 5-Someday, 6-Waiting .Who – Ex: Juan, Mark, Victoria
- 10. Setting Up: Tags cont. • Nest your tags under each other like shown on the previous slide. • Allows for expanding & collapsing = easy viewing • Drag & drop as if these are folders: – .Client – .What – .When – .Who
- 11. Add a To-Do! • Create a note: – Note Title: Add new pages for Hip Hop Anonymous – Notebook: Action Pending – Tags: 3-This Week, Hip Hop Anonymous
- 13. Don’t forget the body! • Copy/paste text and format it • Drag files into body for easy remembering – Flagging emails and forgetting about them? – Create a to do and drag the email in
- 14. Add Meeting Notes! – Note Title: Hip Hop Anonymous Meeting Notes – Notebook: Cabinet (or Action Pending) – Tags: .Active Projects, Read / Review, Hip Hop Anonymous
- 15. Review it! • Beginning of every day • End of every day • A couple times a day No method will work unless you review it.
- 16. GTD • Create a place that you trust to put your to dos, notes and ideas for your accounts. • Use it. Correctly. Consistently.
