I am a Google power user since 2001, but I have become disgruntled with the company due to its service cancellation policies. Many applications I have poured data into have been discontinued. Given the recent cancellation of Google Reader, there is a high risk that Google won't keep Keep (pardon the pun). So evidently I recommend Evernote: James Fallows: ...

Evernote does support notebook stacks, at least on all the platforms I use (iOS, Android, Windows). That provides one additional layer of hierarchy. I've found (like Chris in the post comment) that tags are more powerful. The stumbling block I had to overcome was not using enough tags. One tag on a note isn't enough! Lots of tags, with a little thought ...

There's are a few aspects of your question that need additional clarification, for example; what OS does your server have, and you want notes to sync - but with what ? I personally believe that Microsoft OneNote is a great solution to your needs. There's a OneNote client for just about every desktop and mobile OS out there. Also, if you store your OneNote ...

You can use the script described here. Just add labels to the message in Gmail, and, in the background, the script will forward the message to a note in Evernote, to any notebook of your choice and with the assigned labels as tags. In GMail, you can easily add labels to many messages at once, and this script will forward them to Evernote. However, there is ...

Google keep is only Android and web, as far as I know. Evernote has native applications for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and a very nice web application. I use multiple devices with different operating systems, I appreciate my productivity applications being available on all of them. Evernote has a web clipper and a browser addon (Clearly) that do a very ...

The wikipedia page I'm looking at (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done says Evernote (among many others) is "designed or useful" for a GTD implementation. I think that is entirely accurate. Evernote is an essential part of my GTD practice. I use it for project list, project support notes, and reference material. My Next Action context lists ...

This tool will not only enable full synchronization with personalized content of Evernote, but will also allow the user to create personal tasks and to do list independently.

I use Evernote for GTD. Evernote has only a limited concept of time, so scheduling actions for a future date less than ideal. There is no auto reminder system--not essential for GTD but a definite bonus electronic devices can give us. For time based and recurring events with reminders, an additional program/service would be best employed. I use email as my ...

Do your tags have structure? Start organizing tags into a tag tree to get some structure. Consider all tags that you currently have as level 1 tags. Then organize all of your 400+ level 1 tags into some 30-100 level 2 tags. Do it bottom up, not top down: that is, do not make a list of level 2 tags and then fill them up, but just start grouping level 1 tags ...

I use DevonThink extensively on my Mac because I need a highly-structured way to organize my notes. It is very powerful and reliable software. Their iOS app, DevonThink to Go, is fairly new and still may need some ironing out, but it may be worth considering now if you just need a mobile solution and aren't dependent yet on sync.

You could create a note for each assignment and change the tags from "#pending" to "#done", leaving them in the same notebook. Smart searches would then let you get the list of #pending assignments. I don't see that as much different than moving between notebooks, but you might. If you don't want to create a separate note for each assignment, and you must ...

My experience (and that of a lot of GTD users on several mailing lists I've been on) is that while implementing GTD can and does have an immediate payoff, it takes a couple of years on average to fully understand and internalize how to make it work for you. Using a system for "some weeks" is probably not enough to give it a fair trial. Unless there's ...

The thing I like about Evernote is that this is all they do (for now). Unlikely they would/could discontinue their core product....whereas Google, this is a nice little product that they could easily live without. Plus, Evernote has a lot more functionality right now - things pretty much work as expected, very few bugs. Go with Evernote for sure.

You could try using the Evernote add-on for Sticky Notes, that way you can have 2 notes in your desktop (Pending and Done) that get synchronized to your account if you make any changes. That way, you avoid creating a single note for every assignment and you have a visual reminder of what to do.

Now that you have collected all this stuff, you have to organize it. A very popular method for organizing your stuff is to process each item using the GTD Workflow. Quoting from the book "Getting Things Done" by David Allen, he states that processing is "...identifying each item and deciding what it is, what it means and what you're going to do with it." ...

I created an overview of the available tools to send Gmail to Evernote. It compares the tools on different criteria, such as whether they keep formatting and attachments, whether you can automate it using Gmail filters, and more.

On top of that you can add calendars, contacts, bookmarks etc and connect them to Evernote on the app. It's a virtual workspace that gives great capabilities Evernote capabilities since it connects everything in one place. ...

You could use Postbox or another email client that supports scripting of this kind and look at solutions here: http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/23719-howto-save-emails-to-evernote/ Or you could look into a system designed for this, such as http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/23719-howto-save-emails-to-evernote/
