Can You Now Create a Master Projects List In Apple Notes?

[@kevinsturges6957]

Your channel is fantastic. I feel like I’m finally moving forward with some of my projects.

[@adamrtt]

Cmd + Opt + { will take you back to a previous note, Cmd + Opt + } will take you to forward again once you’ve gone back. Took me some digging to find that one when Sonoma went live. I like the idea of linking back though, especially when you’re linking from more than one note.

[@Carl_Pullein]

Thank you for sharing that, Adam.

[@LJ-jq8og]

I too am a long term Evernote user but I am SICk of their constant changes ETC.... So I am migrating all my IMPORTANT things to Apple notes... Much BETTER for security and reliability to always stay well WITHIN the Apple ECOsystem 💪 for so many reasons !

[@barbr8220]

love this! thank you for a great video! I started linking my notes in my master task list as soon as I watched. One question- what do you do when your projects are completed on the list?

[@Carl_Pullein]

I delete them from the Master Project List and archive the project.

[@barbr8220]

@@Carl_Pullein thanks! I’ve been starting to archive finally! It makes so much sense. I didn’t know if there was a reason to leave a “log” of what was done when.

[@gavin6630]

Try typing >> and get the last six recently modified notes

[@Carl_Pullein]

Ooh, I'll try that.

[@simransidhu3444]

Not just the last six notes. Type “>>” and then start typing a note title. It will give you an autocomplete dropdown list to help link any note.

[@Carl_Pullein]

@@simransidhu3444 Thank you for sharing.

[@simransidhu3444]

@@Carl_Pullein, you’re welcome. While we’re at it, you can also highlight a typed word, press Command+K, and you can turn that text into a hyperlink to any other note 👍

[@sandraarn]

A short tip for the back-to-mpl-link is to create a Note called „Project Notes Template“ with the link set up, then all you‘d need to do for the next project is copy and rename the template note.

[@Carl_Pullein]

Thank you, Sandra, for sharing that.

[@chillwavemusic5024]

Thanks a lot for your every time useful reviews, tips, and advices!

[@Carl_Pullein]

You're very welome.

[@gasparemarino-q6c]

Congratulations Carl for yet another useful and very clear video. I would also like to take this opportunity to ask you if you use tasks in Evernote in any way. For me it's a useless and confusing feature (maybe I still haven't understood what it's really for)

[@Carl_Pullein]

I do. Whenever I have a coaching call with a client, I take notes. I use those notes to write feedback after the call. Until I write the feedback, the note is added as a task. Once written, I complete the task. That way, I never miss a feedback note.

[@joquinlan8028]

Thanks Carl. Do you use your weekly review to check your master projects list (and each project page as required)? ie so you can update on progress, deadlines and next actions etc. Rather than add your project titles/next actions into your master task list (which I know you use ToDoist for). Just interested in the workflow and how stay reminded on projects - thanks!

[@Carl_Pullein]

I rarely need to go through all my projects as when I work on a project, I will update the master project list, so I can quickly see what needs doing next.

[@EduIntellecto]

In past videos, you explained that most people shouldn't use projects to get work done. Using the example of document files from when you worked in the UK. What has changed now??

[@sergiorodrigues6694]

Do you have any previous video or post about the use of Evernote as a project list tool?

[@Matthew-TI99-4a]

It’s also possible to integrate Apple Freeform into this process. If you create and Freeform board and then share it with yourself as an Apple Note then you can also create a link to this board as a linked note in your project note (if that makes sense!)

[@Carl_Pullein]

It does, and thank you for sharing, Matthew.

[@mymonfort]

After clicking the link how can you go back the previous page ? There should be a back button so that we can access back and forth

[@Carl_Pullein]

[@lowbar77]

Thanks for showing this. Great video. I want to use Apple Notes for this use case, but there are a couple of issues: Do I run the risk that Apple will do something stupid with Apple Notes to make my use case not work anymore? Additionally, without parity between platforms (MacOS and iOS, etc…) why would I use it, and then finally how would I use this at work when everything is enterprise PC platforms? (I know apple notes can be accessed through web, but has almost no features) Anyways, thanks for doing this video, really enjoying your content as always.

[@Carl_Pullein]

I've found the reverse is the problem. Apple is not going to do anything with Apple Notes now until next year. It ca nbe frustrating at times, but I suppose it does keep things simple.

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Hey Carl, This is great 👍 . One question - Have you completely stopped using evernote ? and is apple notes the only notes app you using right now ?

[@Carl_Pullein]

No. Evernote is my CRM system. But Apple notes is my notes app.

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

@@Carl_Pullein Thanks Carl for letting know 🙏. Sorry i couldnt understand CRM and notes differences of evernote vs apple notes. If possible in future, please do help in understanding this making a youtube video lesson 🙏 . Humble request 🙏. Thanks in advance !

[@Carl_Pullein]

@@RameshKumar-ng3nf Ah, "CRM" - Client Relationship Manager" - It's where I keep my client notes and my notes related to courses.

How do I get rid of those table border and gridlines in Apple Notes on MacOS?

[@Carl_Pullein]

You can't. I doubt Apple will ever give us that option.

[@brandonaxley]

​@@Carl_Pullein What a shame. Thanks for your reply anyway.

One of the best new features from the newest iOS/macOS. 😊

Can you pls explain what the phrase „on the tin“ mean?

It does exactly what it says on the tin: It comes from an advert for Ronseal Quick Drying Woodstain kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGnZkIWnltOAbZYsi=d6ojBp1hA5Ro2kNS

Ha! I was just gonna ask how you change font color like that 😂

Hahahaha, I expected quite a few people would ask me. Best to add it in the video.

How to make the links on iphone?

Hi Helga, you cn long-press anywhere in the note, and it will give you the option to link the note.

"On the tin" ... How British of you! Still, great idea to organize projects. I love staying with Apple Notes, just to keep it simple and available on all my devices (and free). Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@Carl_Pullein]

Hahahaha thank you, Bill.

[@Cantabrigiensis]

Over eight minutes to show manual bi-directional linking? That's about seven minutes too long....

[@MarathonMadman]

I found it game changing. I didn’t realize the changes in Apple Notes allowed this now. So for me, Carl’s presentation was well worth watching. This is going to save me a ton of time.

[@ScottKish]

Pronounce it … Sa No Ma. There is a Sonoma, California.

[@Carl_Pullein]

Hahaha my apologies, the Yorkshire in me never leaves.

Lols. A lot of folks in California can’t even pronounce it. All good though!
