Not enough layers of organization – Evernote - Notes Organizer Review

I started using Evernote and was quite impressed. The app itself is great and offers tons of useful functionality. What started to bother me is that it offers only two levels of organization: Notebooks and Notes. At first I tried to cope, but it kept frustrating me. I wanted the Notebook to be the high level concept, then another level to be breakdown of that concept into various categories, then under those breakdowns would be my notes. Unfortunately Evernote is not built upon that concept. I searched for ways to do this and found some very complicated tagging schemes that supposedly accomplished just that, but would require serious discipline to maintain. That's not the solution for me. I just don't believe in tagging as an organizational methodology. I've seen it fail too many times and I know that it would fall out of maintenance under my stewardship. As much as I dislike Microsoft I have found what I need in their OneNote offering for IOS. I'm not suggesting they have a better app, and I'm not saying Evernotes two layers is inherently wrong. What I'm saying is that for my personal needs OneNote provides an organizational structure that better matches the way my brain categorizes things. If you're deciding between the two, keep this consideration in mind.
