EverDone FAQ:

Q: What Evernote version does EverDone reflect?
A: In answering this question, it’s critical to understand a few things. First, the organizational structure taught in EverDone is independent of the version of Evernote you use. In other words, the version of Evernote doesn’t impact the organization and account structure you’ll learn in this product. When Evernote released v10 of their app, nothing about the structure taught in the EverDone Guide changed. And, even with new features being released by Evernote nearly every 2 weeks, the workflow presented in EverDone hasn’t changed. As a workflow, EverDone is stable and slow-moving, even as Evernote evolves. This should be a relief because you don’t have to constantly reinvent your GTD system! So, even though the screenshots in the EverDone Guide reflect legacy Evernote, what you learn still applies 100% to the v10 Evernote environment.

Second, the Guide will be updated to reflect screenshots Evernote v10 at some point (although, again, this will have very little material impact on the structure of the GTD deployment you see in the Guide). This will occur when new features create different organizational opportunities that Stacey believes evolve the structure presented in the Guide for the better. So far, this has not happened.

Instead, the new features released by Evernote currently offer options that don’t impact your GTD workflow structure, but rather present some personalization that wasn’t available in the Legacy app (for example, through Home). These options will be included as bonus material in future versions of the Guide, but are not currently significant enough to influence the current EverDone structure. This includes the Tasks feature, which doesn’t structurally change how task management is handled in EverDone – instead, it provides a different option (use a task vs. a checkbox) for tracking your next actions.

Note that your purchase comes with lifetime updates to the EverDone Guide, so as the evolution of Evernote influences the EverDone structure, you’ll automatically receive any updates.

In the meantime, new Evernote features and the GTD possibilities they provide are actively discussed in the EverDone Forum inside the Academy. If interested in participating in those discussions, EverDone customers may join the Academy. EverDone members qualify for a special Academy bonus – access to a private area just for EverDone’rs. This exclusive space brings weekly accountability, habit-forming events, and private GTD discussions. It’s a perk for EverDone customers as long as you’re an active Academy member (separate purchase).

Q: Does EverDone reflect the new Evernote Tasks feature?
A: Daily task management has always been part of the EverDone structure, even before Tasks were an official feature in Evernote. In mid-2021, Evernote released v1.0 of Tasks as an official Evernote feature. This did not change the structure or process for tracking next actions in Evernote using the EverDone system, so the Guide has not yet been updated to reflect Evernote Tasks. Evernote tasks is a young feature in its functionality and doesn’t currently improve upon the method for managing next actions presented in EverDone.

With the release of tasks, however, you can choose to track your next actions using Tasks vs. Checkboxes (which is what EverDone currently reflects). Tasks do hold the possibility – over time as the feature matures – to evolve the EverDone recommendation for managing next actions. As that day comes, the Guide will be updated accordingly and all EverDone customers will receive the update as part of the lifetime purchase promise.

In the meantime, Evernote Tasks are actively discussed inside of the Academy. If interested in participating in those discussions, you may also join the Academy.

Q: How is EverDone different than the Academy?
A: EverDone is a workflow system that covers the organization and daily habits to manage your GTD practice with Evernote, where the Academy teaches the Evernote skills you need to master the software on any platform. You need to be both Evernote fluent and have a workflow to be truly effective with Evernote. EverDone customers who are also Academy members have access to a special perk – the EverDone Forum, a private space just for EverDone’rs to discuss Evernote and GTD, and includes access to EverDone live events.

Q: What tier of Evernote service do I need to deploy EverDone?
A: Officially, you can deploy EverDone no matter which level of Evernote service you have – even the free version. However, the official EverDone recommendation is to subscribe to either the the Personal or Premium Evernote plan to benefit from the expanded capture options, unlimited device access, and growing list of features that are not available in the free plan.

Q: Is the EverDone Guide for both Windows and Mac users?
A: Yes. The structure and habits detailed in the system are for all Evernote users, no matter which platform you access the device on. Keep in mind that EverDone doesn't teach you Evernote skills. It teaches you what structure to create in your Evernote account, which is common no matter what platform you access Evernote on. Evernote skills are taught for both Evernote v10 and Legacy Evernote inside the Academy.

Q: Do you teach GTD in EverDone?
A: EverDone assumes that at the minimum, you’ve read David Allen's Getting Things Done book. EverDone does not teach his principles. Instead, it teaches how to deploy a structure in Evernote that will allow you to manage your life and digital data in Evernote using David Allen's philosophy. EverDone also assumes that you have a basic working knowledge of Evernote (at the minimum, you should be familiar with the free desktop version of Evernote and able to create notes, notebooks, and stacks). 

Q: How is EverDone different from The Secret Weapon?
A: The Secret Weapon is a tag-based approach to organizing Evernote. EverDone is a note, notebook, and stack organizational approach based on Stacey Harmon's expert understanding of the features and constraints of Evernote. You certainly can still use tags in your own EverDone deployment but the data organization in the EverDone system is based around notebooks and stacks.
