Using Evernote and Calendar to Stay Organized

The speaker transitioned to Evernote to manage their overwhelming to-do lists effectively by categorizing personal, work, and family tasks. They found Evernote's organizational and search capabilities highly beneficial, especially using it to write a book divided by chapters. They created a system in Evernote for daily tasks, personal tasks, and team member assignments. Despite enjoying the act of crossing off tasks on paper, they acknowledged Evernote's efficiency in tracking main tasks. Their Google calendar is color-coded and includes personal, blog, production, social media, and kids' schedules, allowing for seamless coordination with Evernote. By syncing the two systems, the speaker frees up mental space to focus on creative work and be more present in conversations.
