Evernote and GTD

I am trying to get into a pattern for my schedule and To Do lists. Currently I have them all over (Google Calendar and Tasks, Gtasks, iOs tasks and just notes in Evernote). I did a lot of research on Google and found lots of ways that different people have incorporated their lives into Evernote. I am a premium user and have used it for about 4 years now for reference material for my computer support business. With their addition of reminders I am going to try to use it for all my lists, tasks and how to's. I think I will leave my calendar in Google as it does a pretty good job of syncing to all my devices (iPhone 4S, iPad 2, laptop, netbook, etc).

During my searching on Google, I did find a few templates that others have made up and graciously shared (thanks Chris Mayo ) that I am trying out. One Daily Checklist gave me the idea to create my own as there are websites I do like to visit but forget about in the daily whirlwind which is life! Will also make up one for my part time gig as a customer support lead at Flip-Pal the mobile scanner which has been a great help in going paperless.

I have been getting into Genealogy and have found Evernote to be a great help there, still working on a workflow so that what is there also gets added to my Famiy Tree files. The clipper helps greatly there.

I have found Evernote to be great for storing my client notes but seem to like actually taking them in just the apple Notes app on my iPad, I just send them to Evernote (still having trouble remembering to put in the notebook name but that will come) and then append them to the original, delete the new and all is done. I will try setting a reminder for those clients on a cleanup schedule but will probably continue to use Google Calendar for that as well. Duplication in that instance is good!

I have pulled out my GTD workflow and posted in the wall to help me setup a habit of following it. I seem to do better, feel better about what I have accomplished in a day it I can check it off on a list! From reading other bloggers that seems to be a pretty common trait!
