The “Drafts” is the only notebook where I actively create notes. In Blog, I have the notebooks “Drafts”, “Published posts” and “Shared content”. In Work, I have notebooks for papers and classes I’m teaching (current projects), but also a reference notebook with checklists and templates. Inbox and Ideas are single notebooks, while all others are are notebook stacks, containing several notebooks related to a context or area of responsibility. I use numbers and dots to make sure the notebooks are sorted the way I want.
Inbox – notebook where everything goes by default and which will get emptied out in this sectionĪ few of my Evernote notebooks. The whole structure of my notebooks looks roughly like this: The first thing I do is sort through everything in the Evernote inbox, where all notes were captured. Since my inboxes (Todoist and Evernote) are combined, it’s not logical to go through the process I describe below twice. I am quite strict with not doing personal projects at work and not working during the weekend, but the weekly review – which covers both types of projects – is something I can’t get around. I do this during a weekly review, usually on Friday (at work) or Saturday (at home). Now that everything is safely captured in Todoist and Evernote, what do I do? It’s time for the organize step – sorting through everything you captured and getting the important things into your agenda – Google Calendar in my case. This is the second post about how I get things done (GTD) with Todoist, Evernote and Google Calendar.
