Individual users have unique workflows and needs, so any discussion of note-taking tools needs to be in the context of the use cases. Over the course of about eighteen months, I downloaded multiple tools, fully imported my entire notes collection into most of them, and attempted to integrate them into my workflow. These were tiny hiccups that I tried to just live with, but they created big enough interruptions to my workflow that I eventually decided I had to find a different tool. I spent many wonderful years as an enthusiastic Evernote user and evangelist, but I started running into issues. I detailed this journey along with some Evernote pointers in my blog post, Evernote is Awesome. A few years later I moved all my notes into OneNote, and in 2012 I moved everything into Evernote. In the mid 1990s, after years of carrying around a Daytimer, I entered all my notes into my Palm Pilot.
