Everyone has a different need and it isn't like adopting a GTD methodolgy requires a religious adherence to the concept. What I've found though is that you should try and live with your method and then tweak it after a while to make it better. Note that I use notebooks not tags to house my priorities. I will forward it to EN by adding the following to the subject #.work #theproject This is because when you email a message to EN, you need to make it fast.įor example, say I get an email that requires an action. Regarding tagging - I think you want to try and use as few as possible. Many of the apps that use EN just use it as a storage device which is fine as long as you only access via the app. I think that they acknowledged this issue.įor me, a true "GTD/Task manager" that uses EN as its back end must have a straightforward sync so that if I want to create or edit a task in EN (because that might be where I am at that point) I should be able to do so.

For example, if you change a task in EN it doesn't transparently update in zendone in a predictable way. I've tried Zendone (along with every other app!!!) and the problem that it has is that it is not a transparent two -way sync with evernote. I would recommend that you go over to their website, and check it out.

For me, most of my "actions" come from emails.Įventually it is my understanding that Zendone offer a premium account with a monthly fee, but right now it is free since it is still in beta. You can also create actions directly in Zendone. Once an "action" is completed it leaves Zendone and remains only in Evernote. It never really leaves Evernote, Zendone just uses some additional tags. If it is not an action I send it back to Evernote for record keeping. From Zendone I can make an item an "action" with due dates, etc. In Zendone my Inbox shows everything that is in my Evernote default notebook. That default notebook is tied to my "Zendone" account. Basically, I forward all my emails to my default notebook in Evernote. You can request and invitation and they will set up an account for you.
Zendone is still in beta but it is very functional. Around June of this year I stumbled on the private beta of Zendone and I am now totally hooked. I started with Evernote and TSW in January of this year and like it very much for GTD. This works better for me as I was used to planning weekly then moving them to daily tasks

I setup TSW and i'm pretty much a fan - I can see myself customizing it to suit my style - for instance I've changed some of the. Sorry about typo - lol - fixed it - by the way your Gators and my Tide are on a COLLISION COURSE I should add that I've worked hard to minimize the number of tags that I put on stuff - in most cases most of my tasks just have one tag. An email is either actionable now - quick reply, then archive, not actionable - then archive, or is a task - forward to EN, then archive. I should also say that in my work, projects are more like areas of responsibility "scheduling", "hiring" etc.Ī key thing that I got from TSW though is zero inbox. I like this because I can click on my tasks notebook (which contains my sub task notebooks "1-next", "2-later" etc and then click on a project, say "projectB" and see all the tasks for that project across the different priorities. I now have nested tags that help me ID projects.
