But what about Evernote?
I love Evernote but I use that for storage mostly. Written content. I write blogs and newsletters there. I save articles to read and recipes. I keep my life paperless there with scanning documents. But its not really an organization tool for me. I tried to use it as a daily goal, to do list etc and it didn’t work for me. You can find a ton of youtube videos on how to use it in different ways.
Personally, I have found creating visual content such as social media posts in Trello easier to use however daily/weekly work lists are better for me in Asana. I want to cut down on the number of systems that I use but for the purpose of social media planning and content, Trello is visually appealing to me to see what I am making. (You can take a peek at this blog on How I use Trello for my Social Media Calendar.) On the other hand, I use Asana for about 90% of my business and am looking at it constantly throughout the day for what to do with clients, projects and all my tasks.

*The above is solely my opinions with using both systems and you may have different views. I did not address the Cons for these systems as it depends on what you are trying to use them for and what you feel is best for your business.
