When to use
Evernote is one mighty tool. Pick something that you do that requires remembering or storing information and play with ways to use Evernote to manage that activity.
Instructions
You can use Evernote in a variety, often not very obvious, ways:
1.Capture ideas on the go. You already know that you can quickly create text Notes thanks to the fact that Evernote is accessible on all devices and you can use it even if you are offline. But have you tried audio Notes and reminders for yourself?
2.Collect gift ideas. Regardless whether we need gift ideas for our relatives or clients, it might be very frustrating to come up with something on the fly. Simply collect gift ideas into Evernote all year around and pull up the list to choose from when necessary.
3.Use your Evernote email address to subscribe to newsletters. That way the emails will appear in Evernote instead, keeping your inbox clutter free.
4.Keep your medical records. There is medical information that we need on a regular basis and details that we need to provide when we change doctors. If you keep that information in Evernote, it will be that much easier to you to reference anything you need.
5.Keep snapshots of anything that you don’t buy regularly, but need to have records of like tech parts or medication labels.
6.Create lists of everything: grocery, goals, to-dos, ideas, projects, people to keep in touch with, clients that you work with, your bucket list, etc.
7.Remember important dates, like birthdays (simply create a Note to specify what date you want to remember and action to take on that day and set a reminder for it)
8.Save copies of all kind of important documents like contracts, warranties, or certificates. Take photos of them or save them as PDFs and save them to Evernote. That way you have important information handy with you no matter where you go. In fact, with Evernote you can go entirely paperless.
There are as many uses of Evernote as there are Evernote users. Now it’s your turn to put it to work.
