Hello everyone and welcome back to another video it is Francesco here
Today's video. I want to talk about notion and evernote. I want to explain how I use them now to give you an idea of
Practically what my daily routine looks like with them so I can give you an idea of if they clash in everyday activity
So guys, let's dive into today's video
So guys today's video talking a little bit about how I use both Evernote and ocean
this won't be a full workflow video just to be clear, but it's going to be how I
View them at the moment and also giving you
Michael Hyatts thoughts on this one because Michaels done a really excellent post in the notion made simple Facebook group that you should definitely join
That really outlines the differences between and the reasons why he's not necessarily fully committing to notion just yet
So guys just before we dive in if you are a brand-new subscriber, or you recently added to this channel. That's awesome
You can't join the tools they use podcast, which is a podcast
talking now about weekly software updates
So for example would chat about notion would chat about bullet gels will chat about pretty much every major app out there
it's almost like the
Software pulse that we did on this channel so you can now join that there and you can subscribe on iTunes Spotify
And/or the rest of them. So let's begin with how only use Evernote now Evernote is still in my dock. It's on my phone
It's of my Mac. I'll use it probably about once a week at least to add
important information and the goal of my Evernote account now is like a repository of
Useful information now, I've used Evernote for like 5 6 7 years
So I go back to it when I need to find useful information
I use a search function and it provides me a lot of value. So guys just be clear
I'm not against Evernote in any way
I've made a few videos about their recent struggles, but I really still like it
The application does do a good job, but I guess notion at the moment is playing into my hands a bit more
Which I'll talk about in a moment my last major project inside it Evernote was the wedding
Me and Becca about a year and a half ago before the wedding. We were using it's actually just planned sort of timeline
Sort of a checklist of all the things that we needed and we made about a notebook of roughly about forty wrote something like this
So we used it quite heavily and pretty much after that. I think I stopped using it
Aggressively in the same manner that I would are you for example with the wedding planning might necessarily
Use notion now to plan ahead and I do that with now travel itineraries or anything like that
So that tends to go in notion these days. Whereas I don't
disrespect Evernote in any way I would just say I've I've moved on from
Necessarily note-taking a lot these days. I don't do as many meetings
I don't take as many detailed notes as I used to but I still use Evernote quite
usefully as a storage point for any information that includes PDF
Files or documents that I might need to come back to that are in reference to finance health
Political information that I need to know for when a if I'm going to register to vote and things like that house
Information and I guess useful stuff that I know Evernote can securely lock away
In their account, so whatever no experience is really still
Very much used but more on a weekly basis. Whereas previously it was very much a daily basis
It did plan my wedding speech in Evernote, which was a great experience actually
And I did find it very valuable for that now moving on to notion. I would say notion is my 50,000 feet view
So basically I can go in see all of my projects see all my activities that I'm working on an almost plan
Project plan organized to some extent but not really note take in detail
I use it as a capture tool too for my articles and videos and resources, but I won't for example
I won't necessarily capture PDFs or documents inside of notion because at the moment
I don't find the experience for that as good as the likes of ever know
I remember inside of Evernote
you open up a note and you've got a PDF at the bottom you open up the PDF that PDF comes out and you've got
A few annotation abilities too, which is quite a nice addition
But as you can imagine notion is still incredibly valuable for me
Now sort of my take on this is notion does not fully replace Evernote yet
I've said that for quite a while if you want to see my thoughts on it from a while ago
Notion versus M. No video will give you a bit of an outline
So do check that one out, but Michael hi, I think perfectly demonstrated it in a post in the Facebook group
And I want to read that out to you guys
So Michael put notion as an evident replacement after working with notion for a few days
I'm not sure. It's an evident replacement. At least not yet
To be clear. I love notion. It's blowing my mind
however
It will not replace Evernote for me until it has the following quite like this feature breakdown that Michael gives Salette dive in
So Michael thinks an inbox a Web Clipper links to local files
email to
notion scan to notion will be all of the features that really break down and
Improve the notion experience to where the point that he can replace Evernote with notion now
We also ants not right now
I'm seeing notion as a replacement for Google Docs
Workflowy and possibly asana I will continue to use Evernote as a digital file cabinet
However, I will no longer use it as a tool for creating content while I'm frustrated with evidence lack of innovation and slow development
I don't think the software is going away anytime soon
It's still useful to me now
if nothing changes
I just have to accept the fact it's collaboration tools suck it is what it is these sorts of provisional
Of course. I may change my mind tomorrow or even later today. But this is where I am now notion is still amazing
So I definitely think Michaels thoughts are very much on the same tracks as mine
Maybe he's really thin out the natural features and I definitely think those features would help the experience
but again
It's really like like Steve dotto said the money no ever no experience is more as a legacy tool now because I use it
Because I have to like Steve said not that I want to so
Hopefully this video gave you a bit of an idea of how I'm using Evernote and ocean together still use them both
still find and valuable, but again notion is gonna have to really
Ramp it up in terms of detail functions until I'm happy with it
And then I'm gonna have to migrate slowly
But I don't know whether I'm going after I don't know whether I'd move all of my Evernote notes over to no friend
So, let's see how things roll. Anyway guys a huge. Thank you for stopping by today
I hope you have a great day and feel free to pop your thoughts in the comments below
anyway, guys
