Evernote to the Rescue

What Can I Put in Evernote?

• Web pages clips

• Tasks and to-dos

• Photos of whiteboards and blackboards

• Emails

• Business card snapshots

More Evernote Awesomeness

• Evernote also has the ability to recognize printed and handwritten text within snapshots and images.

• Add it to your Evernote account, give it a few minutes to process; then, search for the text.

How Information Is Organized in Evernote

• Notes: Everything added to Evernote is saved as a note. You can have as many notes as you like. Each notes can contain text, images, audio, PDFs, digital ink, and attached files (Evernote Premium only).

• Notebooks: Notes are organized within notebooks. New accounts start with a single notebook. You can create as many notebooks as you like. You may also choose to share notebooks; shared notebooks have RSS feeds.

• Tags: Tags are keywords, or labels, that you manually associate with a note. Notes can have multiple tags. Assign the same tags to notes on similar topics, and you will be able to quickly filter your notes later using those tags.

How Information Is Organized in Evernote

• Attributes: Attributes are auto-generated information about notes. These include creation dates; note contents, such as file attachments and to-do checkboxes; and information on the source of the note –whether it was emailed in or clipped from the web.

• Saved Search: If you find yourself performing the same search over and over, you should create a Saved Search. Put in all your search criteria, then save it. Now you can repeat the search without having to re-enter the criteria. A Saved Search may contain any combination of keywords, tags, and other filters.
