I’ve spent this week working through the original GTD book and setting up all my stuff according to David Allen’s system. I found your article just in time. I was already convinced that Evernote was the way to go and, while my initial search for GTD + Evernote turned up some useful links, your implementation hits the nail on the head. (BTW, I’m using a Mac and, yes, it does support hierarchical tags; just create a new tag and drag it onto an existing tag) Another site turned me onto using search to identify non tagged items as Ben suggests. Thanks for documenting such a clean and straightforward how-to guide. It has really helped reinforce my understanding of how I’m going to use this system. You Rock! :-)

One thing I added is a “Key Word” tag which I use as another heading. I put all the other random tags that I add to files under this heading. That way I can collapse the list of key words to keep the Tags hierarchy from stretching out too long.
