Like you, I’m not much good at day’s end but I think you’re right about making sure I do a daily sweep as well.

Thanks for taking the time to share

evernote has a ‘tag’ feature which i’m sure you could adapt to your “flagging” needs

eg you could tag something @action if it requires action, and simply remove the tage when the action is complete

You asked if there was a more “GTD (correct)” way to handle it. Technically, I think David Allen would say that you should process all inboxes (including notes) at least once a day.

*I’m imperfect as well, so I don’t always process my notes every day. My problem is that I’m a morning person, and by the time I end my day, I’m usually spent. Therefore, ending my day with processing notes so that I have a clean slate each morning, doesn’t really work for me. Ideally, I could start my day out with an inbox sweeping and get all notes processed and a clear action list for the day, but that doesn’t always happen either. Therefore, I may just try your system as well….my challenge is that I’m a recent convert to Evernote. It does have a checkbox feature for action items, it doesn’t have any other “flagging” symbols (like MS OneNote), so I am a little stuck.
