Managing to-dos & more
in Evernote
My Issue
Keeping up with 25+ accounts with:
– 5+ notebooks
– ∞ Post-It Notes
– 20+ pens
– Hundreds of flagged emails in Outlook
I used this method for almost 2 years. And
wondered why I was forgetting things and
completely unorganized.
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and
over again and expecting different results.”
Change often seems simple
• But…
– Breaking bad organization habits is hard
– Creating a routine on another platform requires
work, commitment
– Initially extra work, but potentially a pay off
Left with 2 Choices!
Option 1:
Keep my forgotten notebooks, post-its and
flagged emails. Stay unorganized, lost and
eventually become left behind.
Option 2:
Get better. Find a method. Stick to it. Be more
efficient. Seem more awesome because of it.
The Solution
Imagine to-do lists, action items, client
notes, ideas in 1 place.
• In a way that is easy to review.
• And a method that’s easy to stick to.
Method: The Secret Weapon Manifesto + my
edits to make it work for my work load.
Things You Need
• Evernote
• The Secret Weapon Manifesto
Setting Up: Notebooks
• Action Pending: mainly for to-do items
• Cabinet: Client notes, meeting notes – things
to reference

Month, 5-Someday, 6-Waiting
.Who
– Ex: Juan, Mark, Victoria
Setting Up: Tags cont.
• Nest your tags under each other like shown on
the previous slide.
• Allows for expanding & collapsing = easy
viewing
• Drag & drop as if these are folders:
– .Client
– .What
– .When
– .Who
Add a To-Do!
• Create a note:
– Note Title: Add new pages for Hip Hop
Anonymous
– Notebook: Action Pending
– Tags: 3-This Week, Hip Hop Anonymous
Don’t forget the body!
• Copy/paste text and format it
• Drag files into body for easy remembering
– Flagging emails and forgetting about them?
– Create a to do and drag the email in
Add Meeting Notes!
– Note Title: Hip Hop Anonymous Meeting Notes
– Notebook: Cabinet (or Action Pending)
– Tags: .Active Projects, Read / Review, Hip Hop
Anonymous
Review it!
• Beginning of every day
• End of every day
• A couple times a day
No method will work unless you review it.

dos, notes and ideas for your accounts.
