Within DT I have 6 main databases: encrypted info that I need to keep private, my Notebook that is synced to all my portable devices, the Notebook Archive of older stuff I don't need now but don't want to delete, the reference file cabinet of documents that are imported into DT, the reference index of documents that are indexed in DT. Within Active_Projects I have 5 numbered folders that match the ones in my DT database described below. I'm plugging away at that backlog slowly and expect to finish by the end of this year. With a terabyte of data it's taking me a long time to totally clean and re-organize everything. My main folder has the following sub-folders: Active_Projects, DEVONThink_Databases, File_Cabinet, _File_Cabinet, _File_Cabinet, _File_Cabinet, 2016_Oogie_Pictures, and then 5 folders of old stuff marked with the suffix _Needs_Cleaning.

That's because the Documents folder in the Mac tends to get cluttered with App related stuff that I find frustrating to deal with on a regular basis. Within the finder I have a folder under Documents that contains my real active stuff. Whether an item lives in the finder or in DT as a reference or project support item is usually based on length and what app I need to use to open/view/use it. I have basically duplicated structures within Finder and DT. I use the note field of the project to designate where any project support material lives. Tehy are also not projects that are going to repeat year after year. Within the Someday/Maybe folder are ONLY projects that I have either started but had to put on hold for a while or ones that I really do want to work on within the next year. I have the following folders that contain OF projects: Active Projects, Delegated Projects, Recurring Projects Monthly, Recurring Projects Jan-Mar, Recurring Projects Apr-Jun, Recurring Projects Jul-Sep, Recurring Projects Oct-Dec, Someday/Maybe Projects and Checklists. I have 2 single action lists, one called Miscellaneous and one for Errands. So the organization starts in my OF system. This is my way, you may do things differently. It's been stable now since this Spring Equinox so I'm pretty pleased. I did a major reorganization of my entire system about this time last year as part of my Fall Equinox review and I've been tweaking it a bit since. I'll probably end up sticking with OF for lists and DT as reference, but not sure yet. I guess I don't really have a question, but would be interested to hear if anyone else has done this sort of thing with Evernote, DEVONthink or something similar. As in, there's less appeal to fiddle around with features and metadata and perspectives and due dates and all of that. Yes, I realize it's not a list manager, but there's some appeal to working with lists manually rather than having things automated in something like Omnifocus. I like omnifocus, but sometimes I feel like I'm working Omnifocus, not GTD, if that makes sense. Though there's a part of me, a fiddly part of me, that has been thinking about implementing GTD in DEVONthink from soup to nuts using the methodology in the Evernote guide that the David Allen company publishes. I know that they play together really, really well.
#DEVONTHINK TO GO 2.0 RELEASE HOW TO#
What I am trying to figure out is how to best set it up as a reference filing system for my GTD practice along side Omnifocus. I haven't made any final decisions either way, however.
I think it'll make for a capable Evernote replacement for most people.
#DEVONTHINK TO GO 2.0 RELEASE TRIAL#
Since the release of DEVONthink To Go 2, I've been giving DEVONthink a trial as a notes/reference system.
