If you have any problems, questions, or suggestions, please leave a comment below. I just make a copy of my original, blank list and begin filling in the info. Saturday or Sunday evenings, I sit down with my laptop and my iPad and start my list over. Simply change my category headers and filled in your tasks. The use of the list is fairly self-explanatory. Of course, I should also explain why I didn’t just build my tables using Evernote’s table function-it’s because it makes ugly, hard to manage tables. Why would I give the Pages file? Because when the tables are brought from Pages to Evernote (via Copy/Paste) they become much harder and in some ways impossible to edit. To that end, here is a ZIP folder that contains both my Pages files and the finished Evernote note. I’ve been using it for over two weeks now, and I think this system will definitely be what works best for me.Īnd maybe it can work for you as well. The list sits in its own notebook, though I am using this tag hack to keep it always at my finger tips. I made this to-do list using Pages (for the tables) and Evernote (for everything else). So after Christmas, when I got my iPad, I decided that my to-do list needed to make the leap from analog to digital. Thirdly, it was one more thing that I was always carrying around, and it didn’t fit really well in my Macbook Air laptop back. Secondly, my handwriting really stinks, and it’s not really an efficient use of time to have me writing all the time. Space, for example, is limited on a single side of legal paper, and I couldn’t spill to the back because then I’d never look at that side.

This system actually worked really well for me, but there were a few glitches. Boom! Then, I added a clipboard and a manila folder, to complete the 1980’s trifecta. Nothing did the trick, so I did it myself by going analog.įor about three months, I went old school. However, nothing has really made the different for me.

I’ve blogged a lot over the years about apps and notebooks and various things that could possibly/maybe sorta/kinda help one get their tasks organized and, more importantly, done. Whether’s Letterman’s Top Ten List-Dave, you will be missed-or those stupid “list-idles” that are so popular on the web, I have a deep, abiding appreciation for lists.Įspecially when it comes to getting things done!
