I keep all my 'actionable' stuff in calendars and to-do list based on the GTD system by David Allen but for reference items, both OneNote and Evernote are terrific. The real problem with OneNote for me is that I needed better portability for some of my non-work 'personal productivity' items. Maybe some more experienced users will enlighten me?Ĭlick to expand.I love OneNote too. The problem I see is that I can't really have 1000 separate notes inside OneNote. It'd be really cool if I could have all my reference notes inside OneNote so that everything is on one central system. The cool thing is if I decide to do something and then I can always check inside evernote if I haven't had any ideas/reference on this before and thus save time from brainstorming it all over again.

In Evernote you have tags, so for example, I have about a 1000 different notes for my Business section (project ideas, marketing concepts, etc. But I don't think it's a good system for keeping reference material. Onenote seems like a pretty good solution (from first glance) for keeping track on what's going on, projects, etc. It's really more for keeping reference material as it's easy to archive it and then search it. I can't easily manage projects and keep track of things in it. and I really like it for this purpose, but it's just not very suitable for GTD - eg. I've been using Evernote to capture my ideas, etc.
