Evernote 2.0 a Great Organizational Tool

Evernote 2.0 has become my choice for organizers. I tried Google notebook but I wasn’t consistent with it (and you know how that goes – or doesn’t go I should say!).

I blogged about Evernote some time ago. And it was good then, but when I updated to version 2.0 – wow! And maybe what I love most about it is that the tagging is very similar to that of ACDSee Photo Manager. (ie – I understand it & use it!)

The features that make it great are:

  • It’s a powerful FREE program!
  • Copy & paste notes in
  • Deleted notes can be retrieved
  • Very intuitive – right click on most anything for options
  • Can easily change dates of notes
    • Making them more prominent
    • Or into the future
  • Click & drag URL’s in from the address bar & they remain clickable!
  • Click & drag images in & a clickable link to their origin is created
    • This is very handy for digishopping ideas

For cataloging your notes

  • Premade categories like To-Do are offered
  • Can make your own categories
  • Assign multiple categories to one entry
  • Add a cute icon for each category
  • Clicking on the category brings up only those notes

I agree-I love Evernote! The search tool is amazing and it’s a quick and easy place to make a list that you feel like would be ridiculous in another document (like making a shopping list in Word!)…thanks for the idea to use it for blogging-I’m new to that but really enjoying it so I’ll try that out:-)

Thanks Kara! Yes, I toss in things I want to blog about later. It’s a convenient place for them. It really works for anything you can think of. :) At work, I use it for schedule changes, then pull the category when I do timesheets!

Connie this is great. I am such a list girl and this comes perfect for me. Love the versatility and the functionality. Wonderful tip. By the way, what do you write your blog with? I use Zoundry and you should try it. This, along with kaboodle, bloglines, Evernote and ACdsee makes my computer life so much easier

Thanks for the info. I downloaded this last night and I think it will be a big help for keeping track of LO credits—especially for CT stuff. Thanks!

Great post! I’ll have to check it out, I’m killing way too many trees with my notebooks! my problem is i like things in hard copy cause then i can take it around the house with me to preplan layouts, blog posts etc. but i’ll give it a try since you recommend it ;-) have a great day ladies!

OMG I love this! i’ve been organizing my CT requirements, and challenges to-do and having a blast! i can have one note for each “assignment” for my CTs and add in photos, and other product previews of what i want to combine for the layout before actually doing it… things i would normally do on paper, wasting trees! and i can do the same for the challenges, add photos and product previews of what i want to use when doing the challenge so i’m all prepared when i have time to actually scrap. i LOVE it! thanks for recommending it! i love you ladies!
