Holiday reflections

The major shift for me in the past year is that I have finally given up on Evernote. I was growing increasingly uneasy about its roadmap, but the last straw was that when I bought a Surface Pro 3 in October, Evernote would not sync to it. For two months now I’ve been corresponding with the Evernote support staff, but so far no one has come up with a solution. Because I’m in the midst of a large scholarly project (in collaboration with my wife), I finally pulled the plug and started shifting thousands of notes from Evernote over to OneNote earlier this month. It’s the worst software crisis I’ve ever had in my life, and it will probably be several more weeks before I complete the transition.

I continue to hope that MyInfo (which I like very much) may eventually represent another solution. I am still keeping all my notes for another unfinished book in MyInfo, and I would prefer, if possible, to use it more in the future. The two things holding me back are that (a) at the moment it’s not really a practical tool for collaboration, and (b) I can’t find an easy way to move notes from Evernote to MyInfo. (For the Evernote-OneNote transfers, I am using an excellent utility app called Onetastic.)
