Each board has columns now, next, soon, and waiting which correspond to the tags on each Evernote. I’ve set up boards for each project family tree, webmaster, core translation content and technical translation.

This is despite capturing a large number of observations, ideas and opportunities into Evernote. This approach discusses the elements that come into your work and personal life and the idea that you need to focus down on a limited number of them. The Kanbanote dashboard is the funnel to help moving new ideas into action. This enables me to create a board per project, and have a board for all projects. And each project then uses the same column organization, different projects are in different folders. The overall dashboard displays Evernotes tagged with those tags from any folder. This enables you to create an overall dashboard with all tagged notes, or to have individual project dashboards displaying just selected project folders. The columns in the Kanbanote dashboard display the Evernotes tagged current, next, soon and waiting either overall or in specific project folders.Īll notes for action use the same tags. I use columns current, next, soon and waiting, but columns can use any Evernote tag or folder. Kanbanote allows you to organize your Evernotes into a kanban grid. The objective here is to have an organized set of notes. You can group notes by tag and folder and play around with them in a kanban view using an overlay to Evernote called Kanbanote. This helps you focus on a limited number of subjects out of the morass of captured data. The idea is to use Evernote as a document library, with a Kanbanote dashboard as a top-level filter. These systems are intended to drive action, but the challenge is to present the data in an actionable format.

If you’re like me, you capture questions, issues and observations in Evernote.īut when you’re trying to turn that into action, you may have to regroup Evernotes from many different places. The functional GTD point of view is to have a way of sorting out all the data captured. Here, we discuss filtering incoming content with Kanbanote and Evernote. This idea can be implemented with specific tools.
