When going through your daily tasks, have you ever wondered if there was a way to keep yourself more organized? If you have, Evernote may help you take a step in the right direction.
Evernote allows you to save multiple types of media such as web pages, photos, images, text, tweets, PDF’s, and audio. When you need to access the information, you can use one of the three methods of viewing (list, mixed, and thumbnails) or the recently updated search function.
Your saved items keep their original formatting, so what you saw on the webpage will be exactly what you see when you review the notes. All links are all fully functional, and you can add tags to your notes to make them even easier to find.
How can I use it?
- Use your phone to take a photo of a whiteboard or PowerPoint slide at a conference and upload it to Evernote – You can then review the material later at your convenience. The best part is that Evernote’s search function is able to read handwritten or typed text from an image.
- Link it with your Twitter account and start saving tweets – This is useful for saving links you want to remember, or as a note taking mechanism. You can choose whether the tweet is public or private. I like sending info from my phone if I’m out of the office.
- Sync important notes across your computers and phones.
- Combine notes, images, PDF’s, web pages under a particular project heading. – Saves you time and energy.
- The premium version will let you collaborate with others and increase your upload limit from 40 MB to 500 MB each month ($5/month).
