I Got Rid of My Notes App (Finally): Here’s My New Productivity Flow for Getting Work Done

I first wrote about my workflow back in 2018, sharing how I take notes and prioritize to-dos in <a href="https://medium.com/@trifontsvetkov/5-simple-rules-for-organizing-information-409b3ad7bb04" rel="noopener">this article</a>. Surprisingly, it gained momentum here on Medium and people found useful tips to implement in their own workflows. Since then, my setup has changed enough that I decided to create a follow-up, sharing my new approach to notes and task management. So, here it goes. <h1>1. Capture everything using Todoist</h1> For years, I relied on <a href="https://evernote.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Evernote</a> as my note-taking app. However, I found that most of what I capture usually has a related action, hence a task manager like <a href="https://todoist.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Todoist</a> is more suitable. Sure, it lacks rich note-taking functionality such as saving whole articles, taking screenshots and annotating them on the spot. But for my workflow, these occurrences are so rare that they don’t justify using an advanced note-taking app. Over time, I learned to simply note down, in plain text, a quick reminder about the given thought, idea or to-do I want to capture. Since I was already using Todoist as my task manager — and it has a built-in Inbox folder — it was a natural choice for me. Still, I kept Evernote for a long time, despite using it rarely, as I was heavily invested with all my existing notes already. Eventually, this changed as well. <a href="https://medium.com/@trifontsvetkov/i-got-rid-of-my-notes-app-finally-heres-my-new-productivity-flow-for-getting-work-done-93d6a3ea2894">Click Here</a>
