Bobby – Thank you! Seriously, thank you! I love Evernote and have written about the merits of my “second brain” on my site as well. When I was first trying to apply the principles of GTD in the digital world (after reluctantly giving up the Moleskines myself), I looked to Evernote to store all my reference files and then RTM – Toodledo – Nozbe and now back to Toodledo for my Next Actions, Someday/Maybe & Waiting for lists.

Interestingly enough, I saw your post and thought to myself – “Nah, I need multiple notebooks!” Well, after using Evernote for over a year for each of my Areas of Focus, my one big struggle was always the number of tags I had! It became unmanageable. I revisited your post over the weekend and thought — I should do this!!

Last night, I spent a good hour or so going through all of my tags and setting up the reference & lists section similar to you and deleted all of the notebooks. A HUGE thank you to you as I now have a bit more balance and a “mind like water” in my lovely Evernote system!!
