Guys this video is going to be hosted by Carl it is so exciting to have him on today
He will be diving into evident and to do a set up so I'm gonna pass out the Carl to do all the magic
I'm going to be over on his channel very soon
Doing notion and to-do list and how I use them together on a daily basis
I've been sort of experimenting with that use and I found a good sort of process on the Thursday
And to actually sit down and review my week and sort of plan. So today's Wednesday. I'm actually doing it tomorrow
But I find it a very proactive way to coordinate the week ahead. So guys
Hopefully you enjoy that video on Carl's channel
If you haven't heard Carl Pullein, he has loads of evernote videos. He does a playlist
It's a mile long. You've got to check it out if you haven't already. Anyway, guys, let's pass over to Carl Pullein. Cheers
Well, thank you very much Francesco for allowing me to do this video on your channel
My name is Cal Pullein and I run a YouTube channel where I feature
Applications like to do East and Evernote and building your very own
Productivity system so there's quite a few different types of videos on my channel
Essentially I'm focused on to do it's never note. But I also talked a lot about building your very own
productivity system systems that actually work for you not for other people and
Basically anything to do is productivity
Self development goal planning and time management and that's all on my youtube channel and indeed on my podcast
But in this video I want to show you a little trick. Basically I use
Evernote to do all my planning of projects and I used to do is to manage the
tasks related to that project and I thought I would put together a little video to show you how I use the two together and
Why Evernote and to do is really seem to be made for each other even though officially they're not okay
Let's get into it and I will show you exactly how I do
My project planning in Evernote and then transfer the tasks out of Evernote and straight into todoist
okay, so let's just imagine that I'm planning on booking my
2018 winter skiing holiday and I've already put out prepared my
Project here. I've got a start date of the 30th of October. That means that I'm gonna start
Working on this project from the 30th of October
But I've been planning a few things like I've got here research resorts in northern, Japan
Now this research is not something that I would want to do in
todoist because to do is he's very linear as you can see you've got these
Fields here, which add tasks and lines at us
now, of course, if you're using the premium version of the duyst, you do have this option here, which is the
Comments section and of course you can add images you can add audio notes and you can add various other things
You can even add things directly from your Google Drive or your Dropbox or your computer
So there's quite a few things you can do in here
But actually I don't find it a very easy place to do my planning
What I prefer to do is do my planning in
Evernote and this is where I am here. Now. This is the note that I created to
Plan my skiing holiday, and I've just called the denote title
2018 skiing holiday plans now. I found a good website here which details a place called nice Co or
Nice echo. I'm not sure exactly how to pronounce it
Maybe somebody does out there and I've collected some images here because I would probably want to share this with my wife
So that she can have a look too and see if she likes the area
so what I'm going to do is collect a few images together as I'm doing my planning and this is like the town and
this is the the skiing area up here, which looks like you can do skiing at night time, which looks absolutely awesome and
Of course, we'd ever know. I can actually use my
dragon
do my
drag drag out I can make these images bigger like this so I can actually go in close and I can zoom out as
well
So this is one of the other reason why I love doing this in Evernote rather than in to do is because I can't do
that in
To duyst and like I've got the town here, which I'm thinking. Wow, that looks really nice. They know well evening stroll after working
You know some of these things are really good and then there's just remind me that I can rent
Ski stuff if I really want to although maybe I have my own skiing
Equipment and then looking at hotels and I've had a look and this hotel looks very nice. This one here
But then I found this one the I&S sic the iana Seco
which has this wonderful expression ski-in ski-out
And this these rooms just look absolutely awesome. I'm thinking wow. That looks fantastic
So I've put the reservations the email address in here. Now. What I've done is I've got a task here
My wife whose name is called rang gong
so our Kay's what I use it for short and so I've got a little task here because what I'm gonna do with this particular
Task is as I go through this note when I finish my planning
What I want to be able to do is to drop these things down at the bottom here
So I've got a section down here called next actions
I'm going to show you what I do with that in a minute. Now. This is just a demo
So this is not necessarily how I would do and quite act quite honestly this note could become a very very long note
So at the moment, I just got this one task as I've been going through and making my plans
But it's all here. I can drop these images in here after all restaurants because this note will not be deleted
Until after the skiing holiday, so I okay
I love my sushi
And I do like the new Japanese noodles and we got lamb barbeque restaurant here something Wow
You know some really good stuff that I want to keep a track of here
So I'm gonna drop a screenshot of that in my Evernote and the beauty is I don't read Japanese
But these titles here
Are in Japanese so I can show the hotel concierge?
So this is another reason why I would not want to delete this note when I am until after the skiing holiday
I also have a map where these are. So it's very easy to find where these restaurants are
So that's how I would do it now as I've been planning
What I will have done is I've created a section and all I've done here is just use the this section header here
So just to show you how that works
I can actually put a little line in there like that and it will separate things out
So I've got this section in my Evernote note at the bottom called next actions
So let's imagine now that I finished doing my planning
I pulled out all the next actions that I want to do
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna highlight these
And I'm going to copy so command C and I'm gonna take these over to my Evernote now
I'm in this project here
what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna click add tasks and
I'm going to hit command V and it's gonna ask do you want to add five tasks?
I'm gonna add those tasks and look what happens
All those tasks now have been entered into my Evernote todoist
And that's why I love the way that Evernote and todoist interact with one another
now if you try to do that with a Microsoft Office document a Word document
it would not copy because of the formatting in Microsoft Office doesn't actually work very well we todoist but if you're using
Basic text formatting then it does work and it's absolutely
Brilliant so I can do all my setting up all my planning in this note here
I can have as much fun as I want I can do
Diagrams on my iPad with my Apple pencil I can save those into this note
I can do whatever I want with this note
It doesn't matter how messy untidy or what I drop in it because at the end of the day when I finished planning
I'm finished looking. What I can do is I have my next actions at the bottom. I've just typed them out
I can copy them and I can just send them over to my to do it and they will come in by a
Just by command paste into my to do list project and I've got everything set up there
Absolutely fantastic, and I don't know how I would be able to manage without that. It's just a brilliant brilliant way of
Doing your planning in Evernote and then transferring the next actions
The action steps to your to-do is so you to do is can do what it's meant to do
Which is act as your to-do list manager
Okay, I hopefully that's given you guys a lot of eye is about what how you can use Evernote and to do it together it
Just works brilliantly and I I'd be lost without this functionality. Thank you very much for watching this episode
Thank you. Also to thank you to Francesco for giving me this opportunity to share my
planning and project planning with you all and it just remains for me now to wish you all a very very
productive week
