📋 COMMUNITY QUESTION TIME: What tips do you have for my Evernote set-up?! 🎙 LISTEN TO THE BRAND NEW PODCAST: Become a Tools They Use listener on iTunes: apple.co/2EIyEsi
Not too long ago, I was heavy on notebooks n thought that tags were over hyped. But I reluctantly switched to tags anyways because of two reasons: 1. With notebooks u can go only one level deep. That was a hindrance in my workflow. 2. Sometimes, there r notes which r relevant to more than one topic/area/project. U can add multiple tags to a note instead of duplicating a note. I do wish they allow going one level deeper in stacks.
For Tags the best tip I received was to place a ^ in front of each tag. That way as soon as I enter a ^, I receive a drop down list of all of my tags. No duplicates and I find it is very easy now to tag. Hopefully someone finds this useful. Thanks for a great video and many happy years with your upcoming wedding.
I would like to have seen more of a dive into the folders and stacks setup. Didn’t really understand what Resources vs Areas was and the logic surrounding it. But, I am wanting to organize that section of Evernote so would love to see a deeper dive into Stacks and Folders if possible. Thanks!
Great job Francesco, always find it funny how I really don't use Notebooks and primarily use tags and you are just the opposite. To each their own. As for spaces for teams, I understand that this is the money maker in terms of getting into the enterprise however, it would be great to have a similar feature that would work well for families.
I understand some folks pretty much live on Evernote. Somehow, I couldn't get my head around considering Evernote great for my personal requirements. I get mad if I don't use Excel, I have created master sheets for Logins, movies etc in my excel & they just can't be used here. Also, I don't like Evernote's 2-;layer folder setup. However, Learnt a week back how to use OneNote to also use Word/Excel/Powerpoint & also use OneNote as a tool like Evernote to capture notes, To-dos, goal setting, capture screenshots/audios etc !
Great way to organize your Evernote, Francesco! As I said on the Facebook group, I was really waiting for this and gave me some insights on how to organize my own setup. Also, like me, you prefer to use notebooks instead of tags which is excellent. Thanks for this content 😉
So I've been using Evernote for a number of months now, but I made a tiny error in creating my notes: all of my notes are "free standing", meaning that I just made note after note, without putting anything in noteBOOKS. I now have a good 27-ish different notes, so this is no longer practical. Is there a way to take EXISTING notes and move them to various notebooks (i.e. categories)? I tried to simply copy-paste the content from one of my notes, and then add to a notebook, but then this note simply up and appeared with all of my other notes (giving me an extra copy of something I already have). Thanks for any advice you can give me!
I was so much waiting for this evernote setup video and ALAS! was disappointed as this was at a 30K feet level. I wish you had put together a much detailed review of your setup talking about folders, tags, note taking principles, GTD approach and so on.
Hey Anshul, this was a little lighter than I expected. I'm aiming to more in depth videos, sometimes I find it tricky, to help news users + as well as to help the advanced ones, it's a balance. Don't fret though. Next week's video will make up for this. A full Productivity Workflow from Notion to Todoist to Evernote and back. Can't wait for share this one :-) Sorry to disapoint, I am reading the comments don't worry! Francesco.
Spaces for personal accounts would be really interesting, i think! Q: u mentioned saving financial n health related info in ur Evernote account. How do u ensure safety n privacy of this data? TIA!
Good shout Gaurav, security is never guaranteed, but Evernote's privacy is fairly strong, I don't openly store passwords (clear as day) in the account. More documents with informaiton about health & finance. I use LastPass and my memory to store most of my passwords, so they are safe. Good point tho! Thanks, hope you enjoy when Spaces launch!
You can add 2 stage authentication and use something like Google authenticator. That's what I do as an added security step. Surpirsed this wasn't mentioned
Hi. I have been watching your videos always as I want to learn about productivity. I wanna know what is your office suite or word processing apps and even your cloud or file management. Microsoft Office, Google Suite or Apple's software (Keynote, Pages, Sheets)?
It's Google Drive Darwin, I'm doing a video on Monday of my full workflow of applications so maybe this can express insight into how I use that alongside the likes of Evernote and other productivity apps. Coming soon, aha. Thanks for your support! FD.
Separate people who never know creative need to organize online to view in everywhere so you can do a animation project and drawing not for all but only for us.
Evernote desperately needs to be upgraded and updated. We need a new UX and UI... It is just not worth the premium price anymore... Sadly, because I used to love Evernote.
Good point Lucas, many people have addressed my longer introductions recently, I do agree! I'm always so eager to chat to you, but I do bark on! I'm killing this soon, that's why I'm adding more skip buttons etc. :-) Thanks so much for the feedback. :D

Thanks for sharing the tag set up. I'm definitely interested in learning more about it... Even though I'm gradually weening myself away from Evernote

No worries Rodrigo, thanks for your support, as always!
Evernote creative people need it only.

great. I liked your simple setup.
Ah, thanks Nasim.
Hopefully it helped :-)

That is a bonus, I don't actually have that set-up, but should get things activated. Good pointer here Matthew.
The "like if you enjoy" pop up appears before the video even starts lmao
It's a reminder aha before we start.
Thanks for the video mate.
I started using InkDrop as my note taking app.
InkDrop is great! Where's the insert file/image feature, though?!
I have a lot of idea Evernote for me is the best.
Good to hear Ryan.
Francesco.
I don't do short video because I want making 30 minute video so I think about it whether have anything to tell inside the video.
I've improved structure of videos since this one Ryan. Just so you know :-) Francesco.

I think it's a great all-rounder for all industries, including creative too.
Francesco :-)
I haven t install it,but what is the difference between onenote and evernote?
(Sorry for my bad english)
Awesome video as always :)
I love you so much and your voice and your phone and your apps and I have no more words but please come to India
Thanks Keren, I guess :-)
If I'm ever on my travels to India, I'll let everyone know aha.
Francesco.

Too many ads for such a short video.
Can you please train yourself to stop saying "Hmmm", "Hmmm"....If you can't, please write yourself a script.
Sorry Mr Ken :-/
I use notes and have gotten better I think..hmmmm.. ;-)
But thanks for the constructive feedback!
Francesco.
Francesco ma sei italiano Ahahahha
Random comment: Looks like you have rosacea. There are things you can do to help with that. You might be aware of that already but maybe you aren't.
This was the least concise vid i seen. Terrible
Oh no! I'll take note of this, anything I should improve on?
Francesco.
too many ads. unviewable.

Laurie Pepper use adblock like the rest of the modern world
If you don't know about AdBlocker, maybe you shouldn't be watching TH-cam.
You do two intros, waste of time

Thanks so much for the feedback. :D
no one cares
