How do you organize data in Evernote?

Question

Evernote

A request to users of Evernote and analogues - tell us how you split information within these systems?
Do you use separate notebooks?
Do you use tags?
If yes, then according to what principle: “one tag per note”, “the more, the better”?
Do you split tags on a child/parent basis?
Thank you!

Answer 1

I break information only by tags, I don’t use separate notebooks. One note in my notebook can have many tags (Sometimes even a lot :))

Answer 2

My principle of use is this. There is a small set of notebooks on the topics "Work", "Access", "Dump", "Recipes" and a few more. Very broad and global topics. Then, with the help of tags, I break everything more deeply. Those. for example, a new project appeared at my work to create a website for the Vasya-Pupkin Co company, I create a tag that I UNDERSTAND, and all entries for this project go to the “Work” notebook with the project tag. And if this is a letter from a hoster for this site, it goes to the "Accesses" section with the same project tag. I hope the analogy and train of thought are clear. The main thing is to give the tags obvious names for themselves. Then you can make a selection both by subject (Notebooks) and by a specific logical entity (tag). IMHO.

Answer 3

I don't use tags at all. I divide the notebooks thematically - for example, "psychology", "webdev", "gtd 0 - right now." Search always saves.

Answer 4

Similarly, I use only separate notebooks, the tags did not take root.
