I don’t use Evernote for everything like I had in the past. It really used to be my “everything bucket”. That has gone away over time, but there are some things the way I manage my daily workflow that really help me out. Let me explain. I try to keep […]
Trying out the new note taking app called Bear
I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately trying to figure out my long-term plan with Evernote, or something else. A couple of things that really bug me about Evernote are: Lack of markdown support The editor is just goofy as hell for layout/formatting tagging seems tedious..but perception I […]
Use Emoji to help make searching in Workflowy easier
I just had this thought tonight.. I’ve been using #task or #meeting in my notes in Workflowy to track meetings or tasks. Why not make them an emoji, it will look better, and you can still search on it? I tend to keep my weekly/daily journal of all meeting notes, […]

Not sure why I am forever trying to optimize my workflow. My evenings and weekend “fun” is messing with things, including my own setup. So.. I am moving my day to day note taking back to Workflowy. Why you ask? I decide a couple things. First, I am […]
Taking the plunge..WatchOS3 Beta 6
I’ve been dying to try this. I had assumed non-developers were going to get a chance to try this out. I love my watch, but the lag drives me nuts. Trying to open apps is worthless. I’ve all but given up. Everyone posting about how good WatchOS3 is, I am […]

IDEA: Auto-create tasks from Apple Notes
I am playing around with the Apple Notes app still to see if I could replace Evernote. One of the items I love about Evernote is my ability to see recent notes with checkboxes created in them. There is no way to do this with Apple Notes. It got me […]
Life Hack: Linking to a specific Apple Note
BIG UPDATE HERE: I figured out a better way to link up notes in Apple Notes. For this new version, I am using a text expander snippet to generate this for me. Here is the workflow. If I am writing a note that I want to reference later, I […]
Tried and Failed… Apple Notes vs. Evernote
I was trying to see if I could switch from Evernote to Notes. Don’t get me wrong, I love Evernote, but with all the hubbub lately around Evernote, I thought it was safe to explore options outside of my walled garden of Evernote. I figured by trying Apple Notes, I […]
