But with a cluttered desk comes a cluttered mind. Handwritten notes, lists - so many lists - references, and sticky notes accumulated around me faster than time and mental capacity could process. The screen layout is perfect: you are presented only with the working Notebook, its tabs in an horizontal line, and its notes vertically under each tab.After nine months working remotely full time, I found myself drowning in paper.It's very fast, both in syncing and searching.because OneNote WP/Win10 app is quite minimal (to be kind): I do not like it too much.īut OneNote 2016 is a free download, and. Microsoft, for sure, won't evaporate soon. Is it wise to keep all our precious stuff by a company of that kind? Last but not least, I have read with concern Josh Dickson's post: 'Evernote, the first dead unicorn'. Lack of usability leads to dissatisfaction. If you have a lot of notebooks and/or tags, there's no way to get it usable in day practice. I mean: too much stuff, and too little customization. (* Tried both on Windows Phone and iPhone).Īnother problem (for me!) lies in the Windows app layout: it's messy. Mobile app* is nicely made, but slow as well: if you have a lot of tags - as Michael Hyatt suggests - you can take your time for a coffee while you wait for the phone to display 'em all. Sometimes you have an idea to be immediately pinned, and you can't wait for the hourglass to disappear. The app itself is slow when both starting and syncing. my day to day working system.Įven if my machine is not obsolete at all (Intel i3 3.4 GHz, with 4BM RAM), Evernote app almost crashed every time I start tipying something in its search box.

Before that, it was only my document storage system, and I needed to open the app every now and then.Įvernote app is slow.

Should be noted, however, that this was my first usage of Evernote in a day by day situation. so I was able to get a complete GTD running in a couple of weeks.
