I had a really good post about the internet almost ready to
go, but Evernote kept calling to me.
That is probably because I use it almost every day! I first heard about
Evernote last year, but was reluctant to try it. It was just “one more thing”
to manage and worry about. I was WRONG! Once I tried it, I fell in love. For
anyone with even the slightest touch of A.D.D.-like tendencies, Evernote can be
a lifesaver. Here is my top 10 list of
why I love this useful little app:
1.
I can have it on all my devices, so it is always
handy. I can make a note on my phone and access it on my computer.
2.
It is free. You can upgrade for $45 a year and
get more storage, but I have not had any storage problems since I have been
using Evernote.
3.
No more notes on my hand. When I think of
something important, I no longer have to write the note on my hand. I put it in
the Evernote app on my phone. If I happen to lose my phone, Evernote still has
the note and I can access it anywhere I can access the internet.
4.
I do not forget my grocery list. I can add to
the list through my computer and access the list on my phone when I am ready to
shop.
5.
It is easy to share my notes. Evernote lets you
share through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, by email, or by a link.
6.
You can sort the notes into notebooks to make
them easier to find.
7.
You can add pictures to your notes.
8.
It is very easy to use, but if you have trouble
figuring it out, there is a tutorial on the website.
9.
You can upload documents by taking a picture of
them with your phone.
10.
Did I mention that I cannot lose the notes I
take if I put them in Evernote?
If you have not tried Evernote, download the app on your
mobile device or access it on the web. Just try it for a while and see how you
like it.
