You can purchase through Amazon Kindle. It's a great guide to get started. I use Evernote on my PC and phone.

- I use iqtell.com. They have an app that sadly doesn't work great on BlackBerry for me (amazon app store) but I use it daily on the computer and I like that I can email it Tasks that are put as actions.
It also integrates with Evernote - which integrates with Remember.
Free if you don't want to sync your emails - you can still email your tasks.

Grocery lists, packing lists, etc. work really well if you format them with check boxes, and check them off as you go. I also keep a collection of recipes on hand there, as well as receipts for online purchases, in case I need to return or exchange anything later.
Evernote provides each user a unique email address so you can directly email anything to your account from anywhere. You can even add tags via the Subject line so that it will automatically be tagged the next time you open Evernote.
The Firefox "Add to Evernote" plugin lets you save web pages or sections of web pages directly to your Evernote account too.
What I can't figure out how to do is to integrate the Remember app with Evernote. How does that work?

After that - if you create a folder in Remember just make sure you create it as being an Evernote synced folder. It will have the Evernote elephant on it.

When the task is complete and I need to respond to the email, I do it straight from the task. No searching for emails.
If you really need to use an external Evernote, just set up the folders in remember and it will sync cross platform...no problem.

I looked in both on my device, and didn't see any reference to connecting them. I also looked in Hub settings and the only accounts there are my email accounts, unrelated to Evernote.

Flag the email in the menu. This automatically syncs the email to the "unfiled" folder in remember. I might do this with multiple emails while I am working and don't have a moment to schedule. Then, go to the remember app, open "unfiled". Select email you want to schedule. I have multiple clients that have frequent requests, so each client has their own folder....so, move email to appropriate folder, and set as a task. This allows you to attach a due date and reminder date, make notes, add files and pics, etc. (note: virtually everything on the phone syncs to remember if you use the bb10 menu....pictures, voice notes, files, texts, etc., and they are all treated with this process....."unfiled", move to appropriate folder, date task) The reminder date will automatically sync with your bb10 calendar, and show up in your daily agenda, and at the top of the hub. When you complete the action, go to the remember app, open the correct folder, select the item, click on the email and respond to the client, or simply click on the item in your calendar and you will be taken straight to the app.
I have found no app for ios or android that can do all of these things....especially using the native calendar, and being able to sync emails as action able tasks.
If you use Evernote on multiple devices, and need it to sync, things change. You will need to create folders in your remember app that sync to Evernote (use the drop down menu when you create the folder to find the option). You can move any item to these folders using the above method, however, emails can't just be flagged. You will need to forward the email to your Evernote account using the same procedure as in ios, android, or pc. Evernote has a lengthy discourse on how to do this properly....
Stay organized and get things done!

I wish they had the Share Menu from the Hub as it annoys me to flag something into a unfilled source. Then I have to touch the item twice to re-file it which isn't very efficient.
I do think that the BlackBerry Hub is the best example of a GTD system for communications. I tried pointing this out to iqtell when I was asking for a native Bb10 app.
Posted via CB1007-31-14 07:13 AMLike 0 - Right there is where I am lost. When I create a new folder in Remember, I don't have an Evernote option in the dropdown. I have the Evernote app on my phone though and it syncs to my Evernote account just fine. Just not to Remember.
Posted with my Q10, SQN100-2, 10.2.1.3253/3182 Radio07-31-14 09:06 AMLike 0 - I prefer to use Remember for the Share menu when I'm in the browser as well. I've tried using the Evernote from Share but it doesn't let me choose which folder to put it in.

Posted via CB1007-31-14 11:07 AMLike 0 - Thank you so much! This was the missing link! I didn't know you could or needed to create a Hub account for Evernote - I'd been using the Evernote app instead. As soon as I created the Hub account, the Remember app auto-populated with all of my Evernote folders -amazing.
Thanks again!
