Everything Buckets discourage the use of structured data by providing a convenient place to commingle “structureless” data like RTF and PDF documents. While searching around for a way to fix this, or an Evernote alternative, I found a great piece by Alex Payne making the case against apps like Evernote and why they encourage us to be more disorganized:Ĭomputers work best with structured data. My Evernote has been reduced from a well-indexed scrapbook of research to a heap of Untitled Quick Notes thrown 1000-deep into the default notebook. In this post, I’m going to share my experiences with Evernote and OneNote, compare them, and give you an idea of how I get value out of them as a writer and note-hoarder spending all my waking hours on a laptop.

I have made a terrible mess of my Evernote.Then why, I ask myself, am I submitting myself to a Microsoft product when I don’t have to ever see Microsoft again? I enjoyed using it even when there was a viable non-Microsoft alternative.

I made a solemn oath never to use Windows software again, but last week, I did something that really shocked me. After I accidentally threw my Macbook out of a moving car and couldn’t afford another one, I’d suffered with a Windows machine for 2 years before getting a Mac again.
