Although I spend most of my time lurking here I thoroughly enjoy this forum for the high quality of post with a laid back feel. Thanks to all who contribute and your posts often send me off in different directions as I look into new and old products that are introduced to me.
For my personal database soft I still haven’t found what I am looking for but I do know Evernote is not the answer for me although it is a remarkable free service. I just feel my data is more and more trapped in it. It also has a “clunky” feel to me and just doesn’t work for me.Hard to describe exactly what it is but I need to enjoy the feel of a product to use it
For my basic files storage I am using google drive, it is simple and it works
In 2014 I started using markdown and I am enjoying it. I mainly use it on android tablet and smartphone (Draft) and then clean up on my PC (Markdown Pad 2 ) and I have started writing basic reports for work. Linked to Dropbox it just works and the files are very small.

For my todo list todoist is working well for me. Mainly because the chrome and android app talk so well to each other and for its speed .Having seen the simplicity of text and the I am tempted to move towards using a combination of todotxt.net and android app simpletask but will keep that on hold or just experimenting in 2015
Workflowy is still a favourite of mine and I will probably use it more and more in 2015
all the best to everyone for 2015 Andrew
