I did this in January 2021, over a weekend. I loved evernote and over 6 or so years became a prolific user. But their changes slowed the app down so much it became unusable. I needed to move, in one fell swoop.<p>First, I needed to decide where I will migrate to. The options were a few open source alternatives, Apple Notes, MS OneNote, and Google Keep.<p>I evaluated Apple Notes first. It was usable, met my criteria, and was a candidate for consideration.<p>Next, I looked at Notion. I fell in love with it immediately. Right off the bat I started replicating my personal operating system from Evernote in Notion. With every step, my grin widened. I kept a list of open questions, and most of them I was intuitively able to figure out as I grew familiar with the usage. After two or so hours Notion was a clear winner.<p>Key consideration: Notion is perfect for me. It fits my mental model, and allows me to do most of the things I want to. However, some people hate it. Please don't take my word for it.<p>Now, the migration. Notion has the ability to import from Evernote. It worked for many small notes. However, some larger journal notes did not import. I made a list of those that did not import, and copy-and pasted them.<p>It took roughly 12 or so hours of work. On Monday, I closed Evernote, and started using Notion. I had to go back to Evernote a small handful of times to fish something out that did not come over.<p>I rate the migration as an 8/10. Some pain points, but doable without great pain. Roughly on the order of magnitude like setting up a new laptop from scratch.<p>It's been 2.5 years. I am still a raving fan. +++ would recommend, but Notion is opinionated and not for everyone.<p>P.S. Recently I started using OneNote because a client of mine is on Microsoft's tooling. It's passable, but has some rough edges.
