Just as a matter of curiosity, since you are using it for everything else, why aren’t you using Outlook for the last category? Its a click of a button with a browser plugin to send webpages as emails. Why not make it all in one? What are the advantage of Evernote?

Rainlendar (http://www.rainlendar.net) has been my best discovery this year. It sits permanently on my desktop (it has a “desktop mode”, if that makes sense, and I had wanted a powerful desktop calendar for some time). The paid version adds sharing networked calendars, Outlook and Google Calendar support.
Using iCalendar (.ics) files, Rainlendar seamlessly syncs with a variety of programs and online services (see my examples above - for the programs I use, all syncs are bi-directional). I’ve only been using Rainlendar for a month or so, but I’ve never had a sync issue with it, and Rainlendar maintains multiple backups in any case.
I have become so enthusiastic about the program that I even created my own (sober, minimalist) skin for it—many of the available skins are a bit…funky.

Here are my choices:
Todo: Chaos Intellect
Email: Windows Live Mail
Calendar: Chaos Intellect
Research and web clippings: WebResearch Pro & Evernote
Outlining: MyNotesKeeper & MyInfo (haven’t yet decided)
Notes and first drafts: ConnectedText
Writing (final drafts): ConnectedText & Word 2007
But I also own MyBase, TreePad, Surfulater, and ZuluPad Pro. Yes, I’m a PIM-junkie
