Just to be clear: I like and use tags extensively, both in Evernote and in the Mac Finder. They are complimentary, and each offers benefits that the other can't provide. This is really off-topic to this thread, but since you made such a sweeping assertion, I would like to add some balance and share the benefits of using folders.įirst, like to say that the optimum organization structure is a combination of folders (Notebooks) AND tags.

Navigating an endless structure of sub-folders looking for a piece of information or looking for the place to store this information is extremely time consuming. What you need is an efficient way to retrieve information. I agree with The only reason for storing information is to retrieve this information later.
