Comments on: Using Tags for GTD Areas of Focus in Evernote http://hanamidesign.com/blog/using-tags-gtd-areas-focus-evernote/ Blog and Portfolio Thu, 17 May 2012 03:04:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Weszt http://hanamidesign.com/blog/using-tags-gtd-areas-focus-evernote/#comment-17557 Weszt Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:20:51 +0000 http://hanamidesign.com/?p=5177#comment-17557 To some Career and Work may be the same thing. For me, Work is anything to do with the company I work for. Career is what I'm doing outside of that to become a better, more accomplished designer, writer, and songwriter/singer/musician. Some people might put those things under Personal, but I prefer the distinction. To some Career and Work may be the same thing. For me, Work is anything to do with the company I work for.

I am also referring to http://hanamidesign.com/blog/starting-fresh-20000-level-horizons-focus-getting-things-done/#comment-block Work would mean your job description / your responsibilities. But Career is the same as work or maybe the same Personal? I am a bit confused, hope you could elaborate a bit on this. Thnx Maybe it’s a language difference but what is the difference between Career and Work?

Answering your questions led me to discovering how the tab for Tags now serves as a mobile Areas list. Bonus! No problem.

Without stacks, with notebooks: 1) Area notebooks made for a very long list 2) Couldn't view all projects together 3) To view projects, I had to remember it's area first (very annoying) A single notebook proved more usable on a regular basis. Technically I don't need a hierarchy for my areas. I could rename them to start with my super group titles: "Work - Fitness Designer". One very cool - and completely accidental - advantage of using tags is that they have their own iPhone tab bar item. This makes it easy to jump right to my Areas list whenever I like and easily sort any notebook I'm in. Good question, Robert.

When you posted about using stacked notebooks you mentioned this wasn't supported on the iPhone. As far as I can see nested tags also are not supported on the iPhone. Can you describe the difference - from a usability aspect - between using notebooks or tags on the iPhone? I enjoy reading your experiments.
