![]() This is particularly useful with the iPhone. (Make sure you first familiarize yourself with the laws pertaining to recording these various items.) This option is especially handy on the iPhone when you want to record an idea but aren’t in a position to type it. Admittedly, I don't use this much, but you could use this to record a note to yourself, a phone conversation, a meeting, or a lecture. Note that when you save a PDF to Evernote, it becomes fully searchable. If you are working on a file in another program and want to save a copy in Evernote, you can select File | Print and then (at least on a Mac) “print” a PDF of the file to Evernote. With the premium version, you can attach any kind of file. Note: With the free version of Evernote, you are limited to image, audio, ink, and PDF files. Evernote then creates a new note with the file attached. If I have a file I want to save to Evernote, I can select it in Finder and then drag it to the Evernote icon on the dock. I just select the text, copy it to the clipboard, and then use a keyboard shortcut to save whatever is on the clipboard to a new note. Perhaps I just want to save a quote, an image, or some other interesting item. Sometimes, I don't want to save an entire email message or a web page. Evernote has these extensions or add-ins available for most browsers. When I do so, I can assign it to a notebook and add any relevant tags. ![]() When I encounter an interesting blog post or web page, I use the Evernote extension for Chrome to clip the entire page directly into Evernote. I then toss the paper into the recycling bin. If I determine that I need to save a copy of the letter, invoice, invitation, etc., I scan it directly into Evernote with my ScanSnap scanner. While I have gone paperless in my office, not everyone else in the world has. I often add additional comments to the note and tag it. You can forward any email to your unique Evernote address, and it will show up in your default notebook a few seconds later. I find this particularly helpful for brainstorming, taking meeting notes (especially on the iPad), outlining a speech, or even-as I am doing now-writing a blog post. Now, after several months of really exploring the program, I have discovered ten different tools for getting my content into Evernote: I personally used it for two years for little more than typing meeting notes into it. The program is so deep and feature-rich that new users hardly know where to start. It has enabled me to realize my dream of a paperless office.īut Evernote can also be initially intimidating. I use it probably more than any other program other than Mac Mail. It is one of those amazing tools that can radically boost your productivity. It is no secret that I am a big fan of Evernote. ![]()
