I’d be very interested if you wrote a blog post about how you use Evernote, i.e. what kind of notebooks you have in Evenote, what kind of filing rules have you set up for yourself…

You have a drive for efficiency, and having organized a book around Evernote, your experiences would be helpful and interesting to others.

For instance i use GTD methodology with Evernote. Ive found that GTD and 4HWW go well hand in hand. I’d say that after reading 4hww i more efficient, and after reading and practicing GTD i am more peaceful, as i have very little stuff stored in my short term memory.

Id be very interested in taking a look at your evenote and further optimizing my own process.

To people who keep saying to Tim: “Hah your gig is up!” the idea is to create as much time for yourself as you need (while maintaining at least a devent income) and then filling that time again with new things you want to explore. Its a set of core rules to free up time and attention, and then how you want to spend that is upto you.

P.S. The big thanks go out to Evernote for, well making Evenote :)

Really great tool and pretty much replaced guidebooks for me (I just clip web pages like Wikitravel’s).

However, I just switched my OS from Windows to Ubuntu Linux as it provides a better development environment for me and disappointed to find out you guys don’t have a client software for Linux! (yes, there are open-source alternatives but they’re nowhere near as good as the Windows one).

Hope you guys are at least considering releasing a Linux version in the future!

You obviously didn’t read the 4 hour workweek. There you would find the answer to your question. :)

Did Tim Ferris write his last two great books working only 4 hours a week, as he preached in his great 4 Hour Workweek?

I use it all the time and recommend it almost daily to people I work with and meet.

For Authors, always remember to export your Evernote notes and files to your backup a minimum of monthly…just in case.

I’m a manager in a fast paced environment and trust me you don’t have time to capture everything but evernote really helps!! Tim keep on doing what your doing!!
