Supported parameters are notebook and project for target notebook overriding, and reminder and tickle for reminder setting. The syntax for overriding parameters is /paramname:Parameter value/.

Setting a reminder with free text via Launchy shortcut To achieve this, the main script parses the action title, and extracts overriding parameters from the beginning of the title. Most of the time, when I create a new action-note, it should go into the general actions notebook ( 2-Actions), with no reminder – so this is the default behavior.īut sometimes I want to use a different notebook (e.g., project-specific actions should go into their project-specific notebook), or set a reminder on the created note to a specific date and time. The main script, as described above, supports special syntax in the action-title to override the command-line arguments that are set by the proxy batch script. With no more than basic programming skills ( Python) anyone can customize the behavior to their specific systems! How powerful is it? This is the basic flow for action-notes creation, as customized to my GTD system.

Then the generated note is imported into Evernote (into the specified notebook), and opened in a separate window (because the -open-note flag was specified).

maps to 2-Next), and applies the tag and titles to the note-action template.

The main script deduces the when-context tag from the action title ( 2.

The batch script (which is indexed by Launchy) calls the main script with the note-action template, the 2-Actions notebook, the action-context tag, and the typed text as the action title ( 2.

Action to denote an action-note, for actions that require some form of web access, and 2-Next for actions that are “next actions”).

I use Evernote to store my GTD actions lists, using tags for managing the different contexts (.

The example depicted in the screenshots above should help clarifying: The Launchy integration is based on a set of “ proxy batch scripts” that are indexed by Launchy for quick execution.Įach batch script is simply a proxy to running the main script with a specific set of arguments, leaving only one free argument to be filled with the text typed into Launchy (e.g. The resulting note (template + replaced values) is then imported into Evernote (to a predetermined notebook, or to one specified by the command-line arguments), and optionally opened in a separate window for further editing (also depending on command-line arguments). Quick Evernote note creation with Launchyīasically, the main script in the collection takes a couple of command-line arguments that tells it which Evernote-note-template to use, and what values to apply instead of the template parameters.

The result is a collection of scripts and utilities I wrote, that does exactly what I want.

These posts were inspiring and helpful, and I wound up developing my own solution, relying on stuff I learned from them. I found a couple of ideas, like Brandon’s My Simple Curiosity post on Evernote note templates, and Stephen’s Thought Asylum post on the same subject. Since I am already a fan of Launchy keyboard launcher, I sought for the ideal integration between Launchy and Evernote – something that would allow me to quickly create template-based notes in Evernote, whatever the active application is, in as frictionless way as possible, while still being flexible and powerful. I believe strongly that the chosen tools should not “get in the way” of interacting with the system, so when I noticed that several of my Evernote workflows include too much repetitiveness and friction – I looked for ways to reduce that friction and enable me to concentrate on the content and not the meta. Recently, I redesigned my GTD system based on Evernote as the main tool.
