Evernote will usually find your note in a few seconds. It doesn’t matter whether or not you have a filing system.

One of the great things about Evernote is that it’s internal search capabilities are so powerful that you can quickly find notes based on the text inside of them. Most people I’ve met who toy with Evernote use it in the same way. I just used it as a big bucket to save stuff to. When a piece of software makes you twice as effective as you would be without it, you better believe you’ll love it.Īnyhoo… for the first few years I used Evernote, I didn’t really have a system or framework for how I worked it. It makes me smarter, more productive and more effective. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to do half the things I do. I love it in the same way I love my Macbook Pro, iPhone and iPad. I’ve been using it since Sep 11, 2008 and it’s without doubt one of the greatest software applications of all time. I may have a hundred great ideas every hour, but if I don’t write them down, I lose them forever into the mists of my grey matter.Įnter Evernote. As everyone around me knows, my memory sucks (probably a result of my brain damage).

By day I’m a mild-mannered marketing consultant, but by night I have a secret identity – Evernote Guru!Īlright, well maybe not a guru, per se, but someone who gets a little OCD about Evernote.

Evernote to do list sucks
