GTD and Evernote’s Category Intersection Panels
One of the reasons I like Evernote for my GTD (Getting Things Done) Implementation is its category intersection panel. I’m at the office right now on a Saturday. I have 123 “Next Actions” to tackle. What do I do first?
By clicking on my “next” items in Evernote, in the bottom category intersection panel I can see different contexts for my next actions. By clicking “Office”, I can then further refine — I know I don’t want to make phone calls. It’s Saturday so that is pointless unless I just want to talk to voicemail. Pick something else.
The Category Intersection Panel can be turned on in Evernote by clicking Tools–> Options–>Categories–> then check the “Show Category Intersection Panel” box.
Stumble it!

Do you still use EverNote? Are you using the latest version (3.0)? It seems that they’ve reduced the features so, for example, they don’t seem to have the Category Intersection feature above.
Are you still using Evernote for your GTD approach?

The tools menu has been removed in the latest version of the evernote desktop app, but you can still do the category intersection, in the left pane, just select “All notebooks”, and ctrl click to multi-select all of the tags you want.
