Tickler File

The tickler file is used for things that do not require action any time soon.

Add Task In Far Future

Use the Evernote reminder feature to automatically surface long dormat items when they are close to being due. For example: we have to renew our driver’s license in 6 months.

  1. Create new note in GTD/_Tickler notebook

  2. Set reminder for Saturday before due week (so we’ll see it Sunday morning during inbox processing)

  3. Once task has been added to Trello Weekly grind board, clear reminder and move to _Cabinet notebook

Notes:

  • Reminders are only available in the desktop clients and not in the WUI

  • A List of reminders is shown at the top of the All Notes list and the GTD/_Tickler Notebook

  • Evernote will send an email reminder on the day that the reminder is due
