(As with before, as projects are archived, I’ll tag all the notes with the name of the project and move them into their respective area’s archive notebook.) The main reason I kept my Archive notebooks separate from my area stacks is because I do have a few areas (like my Undergraduate and Graduate School notes) that are no longer active with content I still wanted to hold on to. I do still maintain an Archive stack, and within it, I have a notebook for each of the areas mentioned above. Then, within each of those stacks, I have my notebooks for my active projects, areas, and resources. Instead of stacks for Projects, Areas, Resources, I now have a stacks for each of the main area of my life: this blog, Home, Personal, and Work.

However, my current notebook structure is much more reminiscent of my set up in other applications like Things, making it easier to mentally switch between systems. I’m still very much a fan of Tiago Forte’s P.A.R.A.

With that out of the way, I also wanted to quickly update how I’m structuring Evernote because it’s changed since I last posted about my set up. A better web clipper – Evernote’s web clipper is simply miles ahead of Apple’s share extension.Integration with my email client, Spark.Note Links (Apple Notes has this, but I pretend I’m sharing a note with someone to get the link.).If Apple decides to add more to Apple Notes down the road, I’m certainly interested in switching back to Apple Notes, but right now that list of features to add is pretty significant: There’s just no way I’d be able to get him to become an Evernote user, whereas he was already using Notes on his own when I met him. I say primarily, because I’m still using Apple Notes for things I need to share with my other half. I’ve written about it in passing like when I explained why I was no longer using DevonThink or why I didn’t renew my Agenda subscription, but I wanted to give a more concrete answer.įirst things first, I’m back to primarily using Evernote for my notes and have been for quite some time. My Current State of NotetakingĪ number of people have been asking what notetaking system I’m using lately. If they can prove me wrong, I’m still keeping my options open, but for now Bear seems to be my best bet.

As a note-taking service, it’s still a pretty great option for most users, I’m just not sure I’m most users anymore. With that said, I really do hope the best for Evernote.

It’s also worth mentioning that Bear’s Pro subscription is around 20% of what a year of Evernote Premium would cost me.

There are a few things I do miss, like tables, but those seem to be on the road map so hopefully, the wait won’t be too terribly long. This is in part to the simplification of my organizational needs from when I last tried it. I’m still getting used to the tag-based structure, but overall, I’ve been liking it a lot more than I expected. No thank you.Īt this point, I’ve settled with Bear. I also tried OneNote, but, my gosh, the interface is “oh-so-Microsoft Office” and seemed way too fiddly for my needs. The highly-praised Notion was next on my list, but quite honestly I don’t have the patience to set up a database from scratch. You pretty much have to pretend to share the note with someone to get a note link. Unfortunately, while it does meet most of my needs, it doesn’t have any sort of integration with my email app. My obvious first choice would have been Apple Notes, which I’m already using for sharing notes with my other half.

I need to be able to link to notes both within and outside of the system.

I need to be able to add multiple file types.

I need to be able to save important emails easily for reference.

It’s hard to say there are no better alternatives anymore, especially now that my needs have simplified, which is why I started thinking about what I truly needed out of a personal knowledge management system. One thing that has changed, however, is the world of Evernote competitors. Sure, Evernote keeps saying that they’ll bring these features back in the future, but this is also the same Evernote who said the new versions would be better than ever. Suffice to say, the tides haven’t turned, and their recent app updates removed several of my most used features. For years, I’ve been increasingly less and less confident in the Evernote’s future or the company’s values, but in the absence of no better alternative, I stuck around hoping the tides would turn. The reason for my dabbling was due to a feeling of uneasiness when using Evernote. Time after time, though, I always seem to Evernote. Long time readers may know I’ve dabbled here and there with other platforms for my personal knowledge management such as Apple Notes, Agenda, and DevonThink.
