![]() I’m not saying it is not possible to use Evernote or Todoist to plan or reflect, but it does not work for me. Planning in Todoist is not a good idea, as every planned item suddenly becomes something I have to do. In Todoist everything is an action item, and I found it did not provide me with the space I need to think about stuff. In Evernote my plans got lost within all my files, I had trouble relating my notes to each other as they were often far apart, getting a sense of what historically led to what decision was hard. I had tried to do it in both of my other apps, but it did not work. I had realized I had another need – something to help me reflect on things and think and plan the road ahead. But a few months ago I tried Agenda again, in a different way. ![]() It was not as well suited as Evernote at storage and retrieval of files, it was not as well suited as Todoist as task tracking and management. Each time I tried to make it replace one of the other apps. In the past few years I’ve tried to use Agenda a few times. I trust that Todoist will not let me forget anything I don’t want to forget. My system helps me keep track of my deadlines and schedule, and lets me also queue up tasks that I can do whenever. In Todoist I have a moderately complex and manageable system involving several lists that I trained myself to review regularly. I trust that anything I put in Evernote, I can find again. Even with thousands of notes and files, everything remains fast and searchable. Since you can open and modify files right from the note itself, it becomes basically a kind of note-based file system. I’ve all but stopped putting files in folders, and instead I put everything in Evernote. I use Evernote to store anything I’m not actively working on and might need to reference later. I’ve been a heavy Evernote user for the past three or four years. In this long ramble I will try to explain how I ended up adding Agenda to the small list of applications I use every day.
