This is 2nd and last part of how to use evernote for better productivity. In last post, I discussed, how I use evernote for better productivity. In that post I just discussed about folder option of evernote. Today I'll show how I use evernote tag for better productivity.
I've created following six mother tag -
1. What
2. When
3. Who
4. Category
5. Label
1. What: What is a mother tag. It contains three other child tags inside it.
A. Active project
B. Inactive project
C. Read it later
A. Active project: Projects, which I'm currently working on, are tagged with Active project. Suppose, I'm reading a book but not finished reading yet, is tagged with this child tag.
B. Inactive project: If I have something to work on later, is tagged with this tag. For example, I have to write a manuscript "complete checklist for building construction" later, which I haven't started yet, I tag those notes with this tag.
C. Read it later: If I have a email to read, but I don't have time now to read, I tag that with read it later. Or if I've found a interesting blog post but I don't have much time to read that just now. I make tag that post with read it later.
2. When: This is my 2nd mother tag. It's all about time. It contains two child tags.
A. Daily
B. Soon
A. Daily: If I have to do something on daily basis, I tag that with this. Suppose, I'm making a habit of something, which I should do daily basis, I make tag that with daily.
B. Soon: Suppose, I have a project, which I should start urgently, I tag that with this tag.
3. Who: This tag indicates who the note is related to. When I save a note into evernote, I think who the note is related to. I've created several child tags under this tag. For example, I have a blog named "Acivilengineer.com", I created a tag named ACE for that blog. All documents related to that blog, I tagged with ACE. I hold a daily job. I created a job tag and I saved all related documents with the tag "job".
Create tags under this mother tag as your requirements.
4. Category: My fourth mother tag is "4. Category". I created several child tags under this mother tag as my requirements.
As I'm a civil engineer, I have a tag named "engineering" for my professional documents. I have created several others tags under this mother tag. Such as blogging, windows, self improvement, productivity etc.
5. Label: Finally, I have created my last mother tag named "5. Label". Actually, this mother tag is related to "4. Category tag".
As you know from above, one of my child tag under "4. Category" mother tag is blogging. Blogging documents/notes can be various types, like Seo, monetize, blog content etc. For this reson I created "5. Label" tag. For me, child tags under this mother tag are structural, building material, ebook, software, seo, monetize, image etc.
This series have actually been created for giving you a basic concept about how to be productive with evernote. These combinations of folders and tags work best for me. You can justify which combination works best for you. However, this concept I got somewhere in internet. And I've modified that as my requirements.
