When I came back to work I truly had no idea what I was doing before my leave or what was due and when and so on. During that week I let my self forget everything that had to do with work and tried to be true to my work life balance plan (there is no plan really just want some life after a lot of work :-)). The real test came when I returned to work after a week’s leave of absence. I used this method at work for a while and was happy with it. Pending Daily Tasks on Windows Evernote Conclusion This will show you the issues pending daily for the specific project.

For example you can use the “Issues Pending Review – 0 Daily” and further filter with tag:”3.Pro-Project A”. You can of course perform different combinations in your searches. Putting this into practice will effectively increases your productivity. This way you will not be troubled with what’s pending and as GTD says, take these stuff out of your mind and concentrate on the performing your tasks. These searches will allow you to easily find which issues are pending and check the issues daily, weekly and occasionally (maybe once a month or so). Tag:”:Issues” Completed” Canceled” Occasionally” Tag:”:Issues” Completed” Canceled” Weekly” Tag:”:Issues” Completed” Canceled” Daily”

Here is a list of some of the most important searches: Search Name For more details on search operators consult evernote’s knowledge base Using Evernote’s advanced search operators. Specifically for our example I will show how to take advantage of the “tag” search operator to find exactly what we want. To review, we will take advantage of the search functionality and the ability to save searches in Evernote. For the actual task list I use the bullet points and check boxes. Within the notes I use some special phrases to help me with my searches such as By” or Date”. Again the tags are subject to your own needs, this is just an example. I cannot stress enough how important this is when dealing with repetitive problems or support.

So once more by setting some tags when creating a task, not only you can review the tasks easily, but can create a valuable knowledge base for the future. This tag structure will be very helpful in the knowledge management area. To further categorize the task I also use the same 1 2 3 4 5 tag structure as described in my previous posts (see image above).
