Results: Experiments with Using an Evernote Stack for Projects and Areas of Focus

The goal of this experiment was to see if using a stack of notebooks dedicated to my GTD Areas of Focus would work better than my hierarchy of tags. Each notebook would house my projects. My hope was that a set of notebooks would work better than tags because dragging and dropping would also mean sorting.

Admittedly not the most demanding thing I’ve ever tried productivity-wise, but I’m dedicated to weekly experiments and this was one I allotted for last week. Almost seemed too trivial to write about.

But in short, yes, this approach worked just fine – at least until I synced with the iPhone app. Stacks are not yet available there. I have read they are on the way so it might be worth sticking it out.

So I’ll keep toying with this for a while and will post an update if it the results warrant it.
