[L]ast week, in preparation for the release of iOS 7, Evernote released a beautiful new app for iPhone and iPads. The new app is packed with nice little features, but today, I wanted to focus on what I thought was the best feature of all: the ability to create notes quickly. Previous versions of the Evernote…
[T]here has been a long line of people waiting to get new iPhone 5{c|s} devices from the Apple Store in Pentagon City today. Here is a picture of the line, taken from my office which sits in a building above the food court of the mall, looking into the rafters. Enjoy it and be glad…
[A] few weeks ago, I took our car in for its regular maintenance. I had snapped a photo of the maintenance reminder in the windshield of the car and set a reminder in Evernote to ping me to schedule an appointment when the date got close. So far so good. After the service, the service…
[I] recently realized that I have been using my awesome Fujitsu ScanSnap s1300i scanner for a little over a year now. One year later, it is still awesome and one of the most important tools I have to keep me paperless. Given that I’ve been using the scanner now for over a year, here’s a…
[W]hile I said on Twitter yesterday that this week’s Going Paperless post would be delayed by a day, it turns out I just don’t have time to get it in this week. Rather than stress about it, I’m going to take this week off. I’ll return to the usual schedule next week. The day job…
[I]n my capacity as the Evernote Ambassador for Paperless Lifestyle, one of the most frequently-asked questions I get is on security. “Are you comfortable with Evernote’s security?” is one way this question is framed. Sometimes, people ask, “What if Evernote goes away?” My typical response is that I don’t lose sleep over security and what…
[T]he Internet would not be what it is today without cat pictures. So it seems only natural that I do a Going Paperless post on cats, or more generally, on pets. Anyone who has pets probably knows that they can generate a lot of paper. There are adoption records, vet records, special instructions for medication,…
[Y]esterday was a hectic day. Post-Hugo morning excitement filled the hotel, so I didn’t get much writing done in the morning. I met with one of my best friends, Rich Peterson, who lives locally, and got to spend a chunk of the day with him, which was really nice, since it had been more than…
[A]s I became more determined to go paperless, I realized that getting information into Evernote quickly and easily was critical. Jumping through hoops to create notes or capture paper can be a show-stopper. Last week, I provided 5 tips for speeding up note creation and searches in Evernote. In this week’s post, I have 5 more…
[W]hile at Launchpad, there was a discussion about various ways writers track their submissions. Some writers use a service like Duotropes, others use a simple spreadsheet, others still write them down in a notebook. I’ve always done mine in a spreadsheet, one that eventually evolved into a Google Spreadsheet and, as is my wont, became…
[S]ometimes, all that prevents me from doing something is the idea that I can’t afford the time; that it will just take too long. I’ve therefore made a habit of looking for little shortcuts to speed things up. Over the next two weeks, I’ll share 10 tips for speeding up the process of Going Paperless…
[B]etween the day job, my freelance writing, and the family, I am pretty much buried at the moment and haven’t had a time to finish putting together this week’s Going Paperless post. My plan is to get it online tomorrow. In the meantime, if you are desperate, there are 70 other Going Paperless posts to…
