- I sat down to start organizing my notes on the new #Evernote system, but I wanted to first tell you what I'll be doing for the next few days or, maybe, weeks.

Great system. I will apply this tonight.
Hi Vlad, I’ve been an Evernote enthusiast since 2010. I’m retired now, but have built a Personal Kanban like system in Evernote to organize my information, projects, and commitments. I have been slowly getting my spouse familiar with my system. This has already paid off when I recently had a health issue and was in the hospital. My husband was able to find health records and insurance information 😊
Loving your work here. I appreciate seeing another perspective on how to overlay an information organization system over the latest Evernote features. -John
Hi @JohnJablonski, it's so good when Evernote helps us when we need it the most. Something similar to your experience recently happened to me. I brought my dog to a vet he has never been to before, and I was able to answer all their questions about him because of Evernote 💚
Muy bueno! Gracias.
Good video. Nice to hear your are getting your voice back. Yes keep sharing.
Thank you for the kind words 💚
Hello! Good thinking. I actually have a similar system, as with your "timeline". I have an "inbox", where all my new documents end up from the beginning. I have active documents - documents that I edit periodically. Then I have a "current document" - documents that I need for a certain period of time and furthermore I have your "timeline" although I call it an archive, all your documents are eventually moved, if they are not deleted completely. The AI feature, in my opinion, in Evernote works way beyond expectations. Like you, I still use tags to be able to categorize my documents and find them more easily - if the ai messes up.
Many years ago, when I first tried this idea, I remember calling the notebook “Archive”. However, the word never resonated with me because some notes there are not actually archived. They are just not visible in my main “working space”. And although this is just a matter of semantics, I believe our thinking and, to some extent, actions, are, sometimes, influenced by words.
I'm truly enjoying the word “Timeline” and the meaning it caries. To me, anyway.
However, another thing I didn't do back then was to fully embrace the idea. I moved just some notes. Meaning that I never really test it. This time, I moved everything, and I'm truly enjoying it. It's working incredibly well.
Find this whole area interesting also. Some of my (not fully developed) thoughts:
1. Notes can have literally anything in them, so without a controlled structure associated with them (notebooks and / or tags) retrieval is really just by memory. Not ideal once the notes numbers build up (unless you are one of those photographic memory types)
2. I use just two notebooks (Inbox, Processed) but writing this makes me wonder if even that is necessary as I never really filter to either and really is a notebook anything other than just a special tag in some ways? (happy to be filled in if missing some benefit of them etc)
3. Like many (I'm guessing) I've just added tags over the years as needed and haven't paid much attention structure. Given that tags can be nested multiple times, I'm now thinking it could be useful to take the time to organize my tags more in an ordered hierarchy starting with top level ones like Health, Money etc. As much to have a mental model as anything (would be really nice if when you added tags to a note, you could view any higher or lower level tags to place you in context as it were)
4. Find it useful to regularly review notes to both tidy them up and also with a mind to how my future self might search for the note. With that in mind, I'll often make the title much informative and explanatory (so you have an idea if it's the right one after doing the initial search, and also possibly by adding synonyms, acronyms etc that I know might pop into my mind when thinking about that topic down the trac
5. Having one main note for a given topic, project etc and from there linking to related individual notes is quite helpful I find
Anyway thanks for prompting these reflections
Thank you for sharing all this 💚
I particularly don't like indentations of any sort. I do it on Obsidian because of some of its technical limitations. But on Evernote, I don't see the need for that, as I have a very well established set of tags and can usually remember most of them.
Since Evernote's search is excellent, tags, in my system, exist solely to group or filter notes. For example, if I want to see all my recent clients, I can use the “Clients” tag and look at the top of the list, as my notes are ordered by creation data.
I would never add tags to a note “just because”. They are always well thought through. I also try to make them one word to be easy to remember. Before creating a new tag, I always think about what would be use cases. If it takes me too long to come up with something, I will not create it.
I’m really enjoying your content, thank you. Subscribed
Thank you 💚 Welcome aboard!
Yes keep sharing ❤

I used to love Evernote, but 90% of the time was for professional use. Then I switched to Obsidian and I’m not looking back. Nice video, though.
Vlad -- Thanks for this overview video. It is really very helpful to me. It is also satisfying to me that both you and me have very similar overarching organizational philosophies. Obrigado
My pleasure! 💚
Very interesting video. Please continue showing us your progress.
Thank you! Will do! 💚
Thanks. Always interested in in how others solve data organization problems in hopes of finding a nugget that I can apply to my system.
My approach is the same. Sometimes, something hidden deep into someone's explanation ends up as a great solution. But I usually find these gems on completely unrelated topics.
