Some people are naturally organised and, (for my sins) I’m one of those people. I have however, just discovered a new website called Evernote that has made me reach the pinnacle of organisation, and I’m so impressed with it that I wanted to tell you how it works.
Now I’m possibly one of the last people on the planet to hear about Evernote, but if you’ve never heard of them you should check them out because I think they have an incredible app.
What is Evernote?
Evernote is a free website, you download the marker to your toolbar and when you open up the site you have the option to create ‘notebooks’ which are basically folders. For example I have notebooks for social media, crochet, travel, things I want to buy, food and drink, marketing and a few others. The point is that I can use it for both personal and business and manage them both easily.
When you see a web article you’re interested in, you don’t have to bookmark or favourite it (where you’ll never look at it again) any more, you simply click the Evernote symbol on your toolbar and choose to either clip a section (such as images, recipes etc) or to save the whole page.
You then decide which ‘notebook’ (folder) you want it to go in, change the title and add tags all from the little pop-up window. You press Save and it saves to your account.
The best thing is that it also syncs to the Internet, your smartphone and any other computers you use so you can check out your notebooks at any time.
They also assign you an Evernote email address so if you like a bottle of wine, you can take a photo of the label, email it to Evernote then you can then check what it was when you’re in the off-license! You can take a photo of a poster of an upcoming concert, upload your Christmas shopping list, or notes then access them from wherever you like – pretty cool!
I am really impressed with this site and use it a lot. There’s lots of feedback on their blog from people who tell you how they use it and it was incredibly easy to upload and use. I send things to it all the time and now I am pretty much bookmark free.
I think it would make a big difference to the way you organise your personal, family and work life due to the ease of use and the ability to sync with your phone. I also did some Intenet research and nobody has a bad word to say about it which really is remarkable.
Evernote is amazing – and they’re not even paying me to say so!
