The secret to getting stuff done is disconnecting yourself for the internet. Productivity reaches amazing heights, lol.

Question about using Evernote as UCT: – do you put things in one folder – called – “Ubiquitous Capture” – or something else? Or do you use multiple folders?

Thanks for a very helpful post – and a terrific blog. Although not limited to students, I think.

You created a very vivid picture of your process here! Being a pencil-and-paper aficionado myself, I have been using an index-card and list based system since December, and it is working great. In fact, you can find out a little more background on it here at GTDTimes: http://www.gtdtimes.com/2009/07/15/the-evolution-of-a-gtd-workspace/

In fact, my system needed to get stripped down to the absolute essentials this winter when the lovely bride and I spent 4 months on a cross-country trek (you can see a short video here http://stephenpsmith.com/blog/2009/04/working-the-list/).

If she had not landed a job in February, I was *this* close to getting myself an iPhone or PDA to start using, since my beloved notebooks were a little bulky.

What an informative and detailed post. I find that writing things down in the same place and using a calendar works wonders for me. Google Calendar has been a great additon to helping me stay on track.

Another great post. I needed to keep all of my information in the same place, and I am not that great with it, so to help I had to get a mini-messenger bag to keep a notebook and other supplies in (pretty much a man purse). May not be ideal to be carrying a purselike bag, but it gets things done.

Thanks for the comments!

@Hotels- Great points. If I don’t pre-schedule a time to do something, it rarely gets done. The minute-by-minute planning of my day is something that’s helped a lot, and actually given me much more free time.

@Kali- How do you use the Hipster PDA? The “one note per card” approach, or something more complex? I’m curious to hear- I tried it and could never get it to work for me. What makes it work for you?

@Troy- thanks for the heads up! I’ve been meaning to try the Pelotonics integration, I love that it’s using the Evernote API!

Everyone should take a look at the Pelotonics website Troy pointed to above. It’s full of great ways to use Pelotonics, and Evernote in general.

Great to see how you are using Evernote. If you are every struck with the need to delegate something out based on one of your notes in Evernote, take a look at the Pelotonics integration. http://www.pelotonics.com/evernote_usecases.html

Pretty cool!

Thanks,
