Title: Organization
Post by: acrogimp on January 04, 2016, 09:46:29 AM
For my Pilot Spin friends who may need a trusted system/list approach to keep themselves organized (like I need), I have been using Evernote for the past month and am seeing really great results - I know it has been around for a while but I had never really given it a try - syncs across multiple devices/OS's, I use it on my Win 10 laptop as well as my Android phone and tablet and am just really pleased - wish it had a few features like reminders for subtasks but overall very useful.

I find I still use Google calendar for individual subtask reminders (specific phone call, e-mails, etc.) but I really like the ability attach/include stuff in the Notes, and the ability to organize them into folders/subfolders and establish parent/child hierarchies - there used to be a great plug-in for Google Calendar (Google Tasks Organizer) but it went away after some fighting between developer and Google.

When you have professional tasks, personal tasks, and business development/start-up tasks and other projects like I do it really helps to be able to unload them from your head to a trusted system (Getting Things Done terminology for the David Allen fans out there).

I've been using Evernote for a while now. It doesn't sound like I'm using it to the same extent you are, but I'm starting to use more of the features. Do you pay for premium? I haven't used enough of the features, or often enough, to justify paying for it. Great app.

I find myself using Google Keep in addition to my calendar to keep organized.
