New, Simpler Evernote GTD System, Part 5: Workflows
So far in this series, we’ve examined the structure and principles of my Evernote based GTD system. Now we’ll explore a bit of the workflow.
My tasks and projects come in from one of four inboxes: Evernote on my computer, Evernote on my phone, Gmail, and my notebook(s). If I can do something quickly, I try to do it immediately; otherwise, I have to make some decisions. As always, if something doesn’t fit in my Horizons, I throw it out.

For easy reference, here are few flow charts that help illustrate how I’m getting things done. Includes daily review, weekly review, and processing.
Weszt, thanks for sharing your workflows. I’ve tried http://tarpipe.com/ to automate some workflows, but recently discovered http://ifttt.com/.
If this then that has almost limited possibilities automating workflows between channels such as dropbox, Google Calender, Twitter and Evernote.
Can you share an “if this then that” example? Sounds interesting, but I’m having a hard time getting my head around what I might do with a service like this.
Depends on the channels you use. Possibilities include:
Get an SMS alert before any event starts on your Google Calendar
Send favorite tweets to Evernote
Send favorite tweets to Instapaper
Archive your tweets on Evernote
Send Google Reader starred items to Evernote
Store and share FB pictures on if you’re tagged.
Save my e-mail attachments to Dropbox
Save all Instagram photos to Dropbox
Send a tweet to new followers
Archive your 4SQ checkin history to Evernote
You get the idea?
What a great resource! Having an app that automatically copies what’s in my Action folder in Gmail to Evernote is a God send. Thanks, Robert!
