Evernote integration DIY

ovanrijswijk Pro says:

Evernote integration. It's a popular item on the Idea Forum. You can now do this yourself.

I use RTM each and every day to get my things done. All my reference materials go into Evernote.

For me the perfect Evernote+RTM integration would be a link between a task in RTM and a note in Evernote. Since yesterday I can do just that!

This week Evernote Mac and Evernote Windows were updated with a new feature: Note Links. Now I have my Evernote integration.

This is the howto:

> Add the reference material for a task in RTM into one note in Evernote. A note in Evernote can be a bundle of text, documents and/or multimedia. You can even merge multiple notes into a single note.

> Copy and paste the note link from Evernote and add it to the task in RTM as an URL. You can do this on a Mac or a Windows PC, using the Evernote client and RTM in the browser.

> A click on this URL in RTM opens the specific note in Evernote. Works everywhere! I can do this also on my iPhone and on my iPad.

If you want to link several notes in Evernote to one task in RTM (i.e. a task on your project list), just paste these note links into a RTM note.


See the blog on the new Evernote Note Links:

This helps of course, but the most simple and useful way of integration (create a list in Evernote - then email it to RTM) - is still not working.

If you want to have the same list in both RTM and Evernote, you can email that list to RTM ( http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/email/#import ) and c.c. it to your Evernote email address.

Nice one - I missed the updated and have drifted from RTM because of the need to link documents. I'll be employing this to try and rekindle my organization!

Great idea but I wonder ovanrijswijk if it is not too much time consuming... :/ do you really manage to do that often ? I am new to evernote and want to use it as GTD, hard to have two systems although I do like RTM a lot. Wish I could manage projects better with RTM...
My question: any idea on how to export RTM task into Evernote easily ?

One way to export RTM tasks to Evernote is to use ifttt.com.
RTM allows you to create RSS feed for your tasks. You can then set up a ifttt channel to pick up a new RSS item (task) and push it into Evernote.

I was going to complain my notes are not saved automatically when I switch to a different task. But in this way I don´t have that problem. I didn´t like the notes in RTM anyway, so this seems a good workaround.

@thinkinprojects - It's not surprising that you came up with a brilliant idea here. Oh, in case you're wondering what I'm doing here in this forum and not just hanging out in Evernote, it's because - well, it's good to know what's out there! :)

The end result I want is each morning to wake up and have the tasks of the day automatically populated into an Evernote note from RTM. Is this possible?

@trevordavis, could you make a smart list of things due in the next 24 hours, and then use that RSS feed for IFTTT?

This info is exactly what I was looking for.

I've also been trying to separate my work into the "4 Quadrants" of Steven Covey.

Being more rigorous in prioritizing my tasks in RTM seems to work well for that:

!1 = Quadrant 1
!2 = Quadrant 2
!3 = Quadrant 3
no priority = Quadrant 4

This doesn't give me the visual Quadrant layout, but it gets me close enough!

Thanks, all , for sharing the knowledge!
