In fact the client is so poor that the one thing it really needs is for someone else to come in and overhaul it. Evernote has become more of a platform than a note taking client. The problem with Evernote is that, although it has really good searching power, OCS and finally better RTF support and a client for just about every platform you can imagine including the web, none of the clients have been very good and on many occasions the features have not been universal. Which is one of the main reasons I also fell in love with Evernote, it’s a great dumping zone for your brain allowing you to get really close to David Allen’s original idea of the Everything Inbox: a digital version of that desktop tray on your desk, essentially a “vide-poche” for your mind. Most of what I actually do is capture information, and when dealing with integrators, architects and technical analysts that also means diagrams, tables, clippings and pictures of whiteboards. In fact, the v6.0 refresh was the most amount of code I have touched in almost a year. ![]() However the problem with that is that I just don’t code all that much anymore. These are all the same reasons I still prefer to use TextMate on the MacBook when I am mucking about with code. When I first got the iPad, I really fell in love with PlainText and SimpleNote because neither one of them screwed around with my files. One of the things I tend to do the most these days is attend meetings and capture information of all sorts and the most important thing is to capture as much info as I can the first time and never have to worry about having access to it on my other devices or should I ever misplace my iPad.īeing a former web developer, I used to keep all my stuff in TXT files and sort them into all kinds of folders initially on key fobs and then via DropBox: the Internet’s USB key. For me, the iPad has totally replaced the paper notebook and up to a certain degree my real notebook computer. We all find little GTD hooks and life hacks to make our tools work for us. If there is one thing we Dads tend to take pretty seriously is our productivity, face it when you have as many kids as us, you really need to be able to get your act together to get things done. ![]()
