Flexibility over features from the systems and tools I use.

Radical simplicity in my tools and processes.

Tighter integration between organizing my tasks and getting them done.

Remember in the series on rebooting my GTD setup ( part 1, part 2, part 3) I decided there are three essential elements to what I want from GTD moving forward: When it becomes apparent that a tool is no longer delivering, I change it - and we should all feel like we have permission to do this, provided it doesn't run up costs (subscriptions can add up) and we don't spend more time futzing with apps than we do actually accomplishing things.

I'm not particularly bothered by this, because as Michael Hyatt once put it, every app I use is on a permanent job interview. It's taken me this long to get to a point where I have a stable setup that I am willing to talk about.

is that I changed my mind about the GTD setup I decided upon. I'll be honest: The reason I didn't immediately follow up with parts 4, 5, etc. I'd advise anyone considering Evernote for GTD to take a look at the Evernote User Forum ( ) to see what I'm talking about.In the last two weeks, three different people have asked me: Where are you with your GTD app choices, and what did you finally decide on for a GTD setup? The last time I blogged about this, it was part 3 of a multi-part series on rethinking/rebooting my GTD setup and I concluded with a cliffhanger: In the next post, maybe the next two, I'll show you which ones made the cut, how I set each one up for GTD according to my updated values and rules, and how I decided on the one that I am sticking with (for now). There have been hopeful signs, but I'm not convinced yet. I haven't left Evernote (although I've thought about it) because it would be a tremendous PITA at this point to migrate all of my lists but I'd be hesitant to recommend it to anyone else until I was sure they managed to get their quality problems under control. I would give one word of caution before trying Evernote as a GTD list manager though: they've had egregious quality issues on their Windows and iOS platforms (and maybe the Mac and Android versions too, but I don't use either so I haven't been following them) for at least the last year. Whether it will work for you or not again depends on your needs and preferences. I can tell you Evernote can work as a GTD list manager I've used it for several years and it serves my needs very well. The choice of a GTD list manager ultimately comes down to individual needs and preferences.
