To-do lists

Today we want to talk about one little-known feature of Evernote - the ability to add checkboxes to notes for keeping to-do lists in notes. This is convenient enough if you make a note with an action plan, a daily schedule, a shopping list, and so on.

To create a new flag in Evernote for Windows, simply left-click in the desired part of the note, hold down the Alt key, or press Ctrl + Shift + C. In the case of the Mac client, you can simply click on the corresponding button on the toolbar.

Check and uncheck the notes with the lists can also be in Evernote for iPhone, well, in the rest of the clients the flags are only available for display.

A nice difference between the flags in Evernote and the to-do lists in other applications is that they can be placed in a document in a free order, and not just one flag per line. For example, like this:

or even like this:


Flags can be placed not only next to the text, but also with pictures, inside tables, and in general, wherever it pleases:


And finally, Evernote provides convenient filtering of notes with task flags:


We hope that this small note will help you look at the checkboxes with a fresh look and allow you to use them even more efficiently.
