I am sympathetic to this.
If I were working alone on a decades-long project - for example, as a researcher, or academic - I'd be hesitant to use something like Evernote. I probably would use org-mode.
But, when working with other (potentially non-technical) stakeholders on projects that clock in under five years, Evernote and Asana would be my go-tos.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoHow do you manage your personal projects and notes though? Evernote - or any SaaS - seems to me too risky a proposition for something like this.
- brandonmenc 11y agoFor brainstorming and architecting I use whiteboards that I take photos of before erasing. If there's no whiteboard available, I use pen and paper - yellow legal pads - which I also take photos of. Text files and Evernote I use for snipping web pages, organizing bookmarks, and taking meeting minutes. For todo lists, I use text files, Evernote, and increasingly, Asana. I don't do any brainstorming with the computer.
