Nothing like realizing months after the fact that you, Kelly, were the "star" of In Conversation! How I miss getting those random cds in the mail...like a little surprise present...
I like the idea of the Completed Notebook - great for the Annual Review! I have a Notebook Stack called Vault where I put stuff for long term storage in Evernote. This sorts nicely under the other stacks for Next Actions, Projects and Reference.
So at the moment I have:
Inbox (Notebook)
Next Actions (Stack with Notebook for each Context)
Projects (Stack with Notebook for each type of Projcet - Business, Home, Personal, Someday/Mayne)
Reference (Stack with Notebook for each Subject - currently 15 of these)
Vault (new Stack with Completed Notebook and currently moving some of the long term Reference into here)
I got rid of all Tags and use the Search criteria instead but will consider your Due Soon idea.
Evernote bought out Egretlist a while ago (it was a great task application that worked with Evernote) so I'm hoping they may come out with a task facility for Evernote in due course.
