I use note reminders for projects versus tasks (which are usually more specific and shorter termed than projects). For example, each course I teach has a reminder date showing when I will need to start spending a lot of time on that course. Same with vacations, business trips, major holidays, my wife's birthday, etc. I can then readily see what major projects will be happening during a given period and thus if or when I want to commit to a new project that overlaps with other projects, or maybe move an existing project.
That's interesting. I hadn't thought of using reminders like that. I run a bunch of courses myself and have a note with all my upcoming jobs in it, but if I added a reminder I should be able to see them all in the note list. Each session I run is a separate note. You've got me thinking.
In general, I find AI inside Evernote to be most helpful for translation back and forth between English and Spanish, and as part of my search strategy when I'm looking for something specific inside my Evernote data. Otherwise, I generally find using my Perplexity Pro account to be better. Case in point: yesterday, I had Perplexity generate a report for me of advantages and disadvantages of the two new oral GLP 1 treatments. I had to go back and forth a couple of times to get all that I needed, so the resulting information was a bit rambling. Nevertheless, I cut and pasted it into Evernote. THen I looked at it and thought, Hmmm, this could be more concise, so I asked Evernote's AI to summarize it. Nope, the note was too long for Evernote to process. (It wasn't that long!)
So, for me, Evernote's AI is a bit useful, but mostly not my first choice.
Afternoon Vinnie. They've just increased the limits in AI chats so when you get the new version give it another go and see if you still have the issue.
I actually use note reminders many times a day! This new prompt will save me a lot of keystrokes. (Without going into detail, the reason I use note reminders is that instead of using the task feature, I create a note for every single task. It sounds kind of crazy but it works really well for me.)

And, like you, I use tasks and not reminders.
Thanks,

Not crazy. I do a similar thing but put the Evernote task at the top of the note instead of using a reminder. I should get back into reminders.
