eople organize notes in different ways, but the organization mostly involves notebooks and tags. Sometimes I’ve found that tags and notebooks are not specific enough to what I need. But I don’t want to create more tags or notebooks. For example: I will tag notes related to meetings as “meeting notes.” That makes it easy…
ne thing I left out of my recent Going Paperless post on using Pocket to keep Evernote clutter-free, is the distinction I make between using Pocket to capture information and using Evernote’s Web Clipper. I use both tools for different purposes. When I use Pocket Grabbing articles I don’t have time to read now and…
I promised at least one more advanced article each month, and so I present the first of these today, although I’ve tried to keep it only moderate this first time around. vernote makes it very easy to collect notes, photos, and documents, which is great, but there is a downside: if you are not careful,…
any of my notes in Evernote have some kind of document attached to them. More often than not, these are PDF files that I have scanned in. However, they can also be images, Word documents, or other types of documents that I’ve attached to the note. Evernote has great search capabilities, and can, for instance,…

his week’s post isn’t so much a paperless tip as a brief preview of things to come in 2014. It is also a request for topics you’d like to see covered next year. A preview of what’s coming in 2014 January will likely turn out to be a special month, in which I provide a…
oliday season is upon us, and for those who celebrate Hanukkah, it is already here. I thought for this week’s Quick Tip, I’d offer a suggestion that I used during the holidays last year: Using Evernote to create a quick, ad hoc thank you list for holiday gifts you receive. It is actually very simple.…
t is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, and before you know it, we’ll be rolling in 2014. A new year means New Year’s resolutions, and in addition to diet and exercise, there are probably some people out there who want to get started going paperless in the New Year. I hear…
am always looking for ways to optimize the use of my time, and recently I’ve hit on a process that helps speed up getting papers scanned into Evernote. I call it my “Scan Now, Organize Later” method. And yes, it is as simple as it sounds. It works like this: Each evening, after I pick…
received an email from a reader of these posts noting the shortcuts I have in Evernote in one of the screenshots I posted.
