Use another mobile platform? Evernote is supported by Android, Blackberry, and Windows Phone as well. I love being able to carry a virtual filing cabinet with me wherever I go. I access Evernote daily on both my iPhone and my iPad. It allows me to capture “clip” and archive anything on the web, including: research articles and documents, handy cheat sheets, recipes, patterns, home improvement and decor ideas, vacation ideas, and gift ideas - entire web pages, or simply parts of a web page. In my opinion, aside from its ability to sync across all devices, the web clipper is the most useful feature of Evernote.
As part of this series, I will blog about the specific features that make Evernote Premium valuable to me. For most people (especially if you are new to Evernote), the free account will work just fine. While you get exceptional functionality out of the free account, I do find the added features of the Premium plan definitely worth the $45.00 annual fee. ) that I want quick immediate access to goes into Evernote. Every bit of information (cheat sheets, reference materials, web clippings, receipts, travel documentation, etc. Every single note that I type on my mobile devices (and oftentimes on my regular computers) goes into Evernote. I use it all day every day - on my Macs, my PC, my iPhone, and my iPad. It is by far the single most highly used app in my personal and professional information management system. I have been hooked on Evernote for several years now. I’ll explain this distinction more, and my process, in a future post. Yes, I use Zotero for what I call my “professional” and “intellectual” research, but Evernote is where I stash research materials and notes for what I call “doing life” - such as my genealogy work and my Bible studies. This third post looks at Evernote - my go-to app for managing my life, my work, and my “personal” research. And (sadly), it’s still a bit of a manual workflow, because these apps don’t always sync together in an automated process. It’s also an evolving workflow, because my toolbox and my process changes as new/better apps come out, or as new features and functionality are made available in current apps. I say “workflow” instead of “system”, because no single tool meets my needs. So, I’m going to make a concerted effort here to blog a series on my personal and professional information management workflow. I frequently get asked by colleagues, friends, and family what apps (web, desktop, and mobile) I use to organize my work and life.
