Gtd and evernote12/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Research shows that 20% of your week is spent searching for stuff. Evernote makes it easy.Īnd because all your “stuff” is now in a single spot – you’ve already captured a huge productivity advantage. ![]() Those sticky notes where I jot down the phone number of the vendor I need to contact – I take a picture with the Evernote camera on my phone and save it in Evernote.Īll of these are examples of open loops that – in order to effectively practice GTD – need to be off of my mind and kept in my trusted system (not my brain). The home warranty plan I need to access when the refrigerator goes haywire? I scan it to Evernote with my desktop scanner. The air filter at my house that I can never remember the size of when I’m at the store? I just share the photo from my camera roll directly to Evernote. That’s next-level networking right there! When I attend a conference, I record the presenter by recording an audio note in Evernote and I scan the business cards of those I met right to Evernote – and the contact info is automatically extracted and saved to my contacts. If I respond to an email and want to save it, I bcc my Evernote account and it suddenly appears. If the school sends me a PDF of the soccer schedule via email, I forward the email into Evernote – both the email and attachment are there when I need them. If I’m surfing the web and I find a blog I want to read later – I just clip it to Evernote. The hummus recipe I found online to test out on Saturday – the web clipper saves it in a click into Evernote. If I’m driving to the gym and I have an idea pop into my head – I speak my ideas into my Apple watch and it saves it in Evernote. If I’m sitting at my computer on a Zoom call – I take notes right in Evernote. Next thing you know, sticky notes line your monitor, your email inbox has 200 (or 2,000) unread emails, receipts are busting out of the shoebox, your laptop desktop is a cluttered mess of icons, and you have to tell yourself 14 times to buy q-tips at Target.īut Evernote puts me in control. There’s A LOT coming at us.Īnd, without a solid grasp on how to capture it all, it’s easy to retreat from battle and let the “stuff” win. In addition to illustrating my workflow, this graphic highlights why you’re so overwhelmed and buried under the crushing weight of information descending on you. ![]()
