Linking Evernote Notes To Your Task Manager

[@torspedia]

An easier way with Todoist, I find, is to have the Evernote note fully open then use the Todoist browser extension to add the note as a task.

[@DrTomTonkin]

Simple, but my mind is blown. I continue to look for back linking methods. It appears that there are many more than I thought. It helps that I am a Todoist and Evernote user. Thank you Carl Pullein.

[@Carl_Pullein]

You're very welcome, Thomas.

This is exactly what I need! Many thanks, Carl, you always share valuable content to us! 😀

[@Carl_Pullein]

You're welcome :-)

This is very timely given my question on your live event this afternoon. Thanks!

[@Carl_Pullein]

You're very welcome :-)

I always enjoy your videos. Very helpful. I wish Evernote would update their Android app. My patience is growing thin.

[@Jivolt]

Cherish the version you have now. The latest Evernote iOS app is a disaster. It’s gotten better but when it launched it was a train wreck.

[@paullydca]

very very helpful thank you. and teux deux..... that's the todo list app I've been looking for. THANKS!

[@Carl_Pullein]

It's a great app, Paul. Very simple with markdown support so you can format your tasks.

[@ophiophagush.3926]

Both Nozbe & Remember the Milk have direct integrations. Create EN reminder - straight to task, date included. Nozbe you can directly attach EN notes. Trello has a EN power up. TaskClone is a nice integration tool if you do a lot of EN/Task Manager stuff.

[@thatevernoteguy2105]

I use TaskClone to extract Evernote checklist tasks back into Evernote as a single note for a single task

[@ophiophagush.3926]

@@thatevernoteguy2105 That is quite a clever idea!

[@timbushell8640]

Excellent... ... and similar between Evernote and almost any app to take a link. The Trello one is a nice way of having a much bigger 'note' that Trello would be useable within its native form. So what about the link Evernote into the Trello card?

[@dortheajohnson5900]

Hello Carl, thanks for all your very helpful content. When I link from Evernote to Todoist, I'm not able to get the task name to show; the name of the task is currently showing the link. I've tried parentheses (), and brackets []. Do you have any guidance on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

[@Carl_Pullein]

Hi Dorthea, try (task name here)[Evernote URL link here] Don't put a space between the ) and first [

[@HitchSteam]

Thanks for the Video! Do you know Goodtask? I think it is great because you can custumize everything and its DB is Apple Reminders.....

[@campcjXII]

Anyone have a fix for the internal app link from evernote not working on a Mac? I know I can use the Web link as a work around, but prefer using app on Mac.

[@tanyahorsley]

Hi Carl, I really enjoy your content and lessons! I did your free COD course recently and enjoyed and learnt from that too - thank you so much🙏 I wanted to ask you, have you ever opened up Evernote on your mobile and all of your Notebooks have disappeared? Gulp! I had that just now - eeek. I went out and came back and still nothing. Eventually, it refreshed and all my notebooks appeared - phew! It was quite concerning. Just interested to know if you’ve had this issue too? Worried they’d totally disappear for good - can I trust Evernote? Thank you

[@Carl_Pullein]

Hi Tanya, I haven't had that issue but I haven't used the mobile version of Evernote much. Working from home has me using the desktop app more frequently. I remember I once had an issue with notes disappearing during the beta testing last year, but never my notebooks.

[@tanyahorsley]

@@Carl_Pullein thanks Carl. Did you manage to retrieve the notes that disappeared?

[@Carl_Pullein]

@@tanyahorsley No, they seemed to have disappeared into the ether somewhere. Never found them again. :-(

[@tanyahorsley]

@@Carl_Pullein oh no that’s so concerning! Lately, I’ve also found there’s been a lag on Todoist - if I add something from my desktop it doesn’t always sync on my mobile immediately. Makes me start to wonder if I should switch all to analog 🙈 but digital is quicker and I think more effective. Would you ever go all Analog for task and project management?

[@Carl_Pullein]

@@tanyahorsley That only happened during the beta testing last year. It's never happened with the official version.

[@SteveDunn]

Great video, Carl - I'm using Evernote Web exclusively now - the Windows Client isn't great :-(

[@Carl_Pullein]

I've found the web version to be very stable as well.

[@AJFaithFitness]

I have tried to get the app link to work in Things 3 or any other program on my Mac. However the Mac does not recognize which program to use to open the link. So for me these links only work internally within Evernote itself by linking a note to another note, and not for any external apps. The only option I have is to use the web links in any external apps.

[@MaschaVanDeWeer]

Yes, I have this problem too (since version 10) when I try to open a note via the app link from within Todoist. From Trello, it doesn't even do anything; it just opens a new browser tab and then nothing happens. Does the app-link really work for you @CarlPullein? I created this forum post about the issue and I reported it as feedback to Evernote: discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/130369-evernote-not-automatically-recognized-as-app-to-open-classic-note-link-and-then-doesnt-open-it-in-a-new-separate-window/ I hope there will soon be a solution for this...

[@AJFaithFitness]

@@MaschaVanDeWeer I am glad to know its not just me dealing with this issue....

[@btgrant]

@@AJFaithFitness It's super frustrating that this isn't working for some folks. I use links from Things 3 into Evernote 10 and it works great for me, but there seems to be an increasing number of people for whom it has stopped working :( Towards the bottom of the link shared by Mascha, there's a post about using SwiftDefaultApps to get it working again further down that thread. Since I don't have the issue I can't comment on how well that works, but at least one other person said that it solved this issue for them.

[@AJFaithFitness]

@@btgrant Thank you for the suggestion Brian. I will check it out! 👊🏻👊🏻

[@Carl_Pullein]

@@MaschaVanDeWeer It does, beautifully every time. I'm not sure what the problem could be. I just got a new MacBook and it works on that too--straight out of the box, so to speak.

[@Jivolt]

Things 3 allows clickable links. Isn’t there a way to get links to open in the Evernote desktop app? The old Evernote did that. Things 3 is like Todoist but more simple. It’s only for iOS though.

[@Carl_Pullein]

You can. All you need do is choose the "App link" instead of the "web link"

[@campcjXII]

@@Carl_Pullein Carl - thanks for everything you do. Unfortunately the internal link doesn't work right now on mac: You get this error "There is no application set to open the URL evernote:" and it doesn't allow you to choose an application. Seems to be a known issue in the Evernote forums.

[@Carl_Pullein]

@@campcjXII I've just tested it on mine and it works fine. Very fast too. Have you tried redownloading the Evernote app?

[@alanboord7866]

Does anybody know why I don't get the link in Evernote the way Carl did. I tried parenthesis, the curly brackets, and the square brackets.

[@Carl_Pullein]

Hi Alan, are you putting a space between the “]” and “(“, whenI was experimenting I was doing that and it wasn’t working. Once I removed the space, it worked fine. (Plus check you are using the latest version of Todoist.

[@dezbruce4818]

@@Carl_Pullein I'm having the same issue, HTTPs etc etc SPACE (task title) shows the whole URL

[@dezbruce4818]

Ignore me, I worked it from watching how Carl added links to Trello and TeuxDeux...the Todoist part of the video didn't include the square brackets around the URL

[@Carl_Pullein]

@@dezbruce4818 Hi Dez, Todoist recently changed things. Here's the video I did on the new way of doing it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpnSiZJufdNroJY

[@b0red7]

How many people switched from Evernote by now to Notion or Taskade? :)

[@strengthbydesign]

This didn't work for me, I copied the Evernote app link and instead of linking to the new Evernote 10 which was running it tried to open Evernote legacy every single time which of course is not what I wanted.

[@jeffk2467]

I do this very similarly, as well. I use the comments section to link them in pretty much the same way. Great info as usual, Carl. I’ve been following since the Udemy days as well as your website courses. Thank you, sir!

[@Carl_Pullein]

I've done things that way too, Jeff. It's a great way to link notes to tasks. Thank you also for your support. WOW!! My Udemy days. That seems a long time ago now.

[@Guildarama]

I like Teuxdeux but it's expensive when you can get things like todoist for free.

[@Carl_Pullein]

Personally, I see $20 per year as a way to support the developer. I don't use TeuxDeux every day, but I think it's such a good app for people who want something simple and straight forward I am happy to help and support the developer.
