Is there a transcription of this? I just can’t focus listening to it.
Great episode, would love to hear more on Stacey’s task management. Always up for GTD and Evernote!
How many STACKS do you have? Apart from Active and Reference?

Wow, I never realized you can do so many things with Evernote. Stacey’s just great!
LOVED this episode! Please have Stacey back for more Evernote geeking out!
This was a great episode! I love to geek out about evernote, a lot!
Please bring Stacey back on the show to go deeper into the subject!
This was probably one of the best episodes ever! I’d love to hear more episodes where she also explains some of the other nuances of her system (like the tasks).
Please keep up this amazing work!
Great webinar from Stacey, learnt a lot especially around file free does not equal paperless. Refreshing thing to hear that she still uses and advocates use of paper.
Only thing I thought was missing was the ability to automatically assign a specific notebook or tag or reminder in the subject of the email when emailing your evernote address. I found it hugely useful to pre-organize where the scan should go and with what tags.

Hey guys
Great episode! One thing though, I believe that ‘The Secret Weapon’ and ‘Evernote Webinar’ point at the same video.
I really did want to have a look at that webinar.
Keep up the great work!
