INTRODUCTION TO EVERNOTE
E vernote is one piece of a dream come true to many persons; if you are not yet one of them, it is probably because you have not been introduced to the wonders of this app and all it can do for you. But even that is about changing because you are about stepping into a world of limitless possibilities, endless activities and less mental strains .
After many years of depending on sticker notes, losing great
ideas and thoughts to fading ink, water, fire and even misplacement, with the continuous failure of our brains to remember every thought process. Essential or not, we have now found an opportunity to have all our thoughts, plans and preparations within our reach at any given time. All this is made possible using the cloud-based application that is designed for creation, storage and organization of media files.
Simply put, Evernote is a cloud-based software that is designed to store all kinds of media files; documents, videos, photos and even web pages. It keeps everything you create and store on your mobile device or computer in the cloud and it can practically last forever! Or at least as long as your account on the application exists.
Evernote has been called the second brain because it can be used as an extension of your own brain and (not to throw shades at your brain) can go an extra mile beyond where your brain stops .
Evernote is increasingly being referred to as an external or second brain by many due to the possibility of storing virtually everything and finding them just when you need them.
From big things to small things, Evernote is the ultimate destination to create, store and retrieve everything you have put in it. Without stress, it takes you away from the days of wondering what someone said to you, what your schedule is supposed to be, or where you kept that notepad containing all the important details for your business meeting. You can even call Evernote a personal assistant who never misses a single detail.
Five Reasons Why You Need Evernote
Evernote is one of the best organizing and productivity applications out there and persons who gave it a try never went back to using any other applications. Here are some reasons why we are hyped about Evernote and will not consider a second option.
Go Paperless
I bet you have books stacked up in your library, storage and probably even your bedroom. You also have bundles of papers here and there that you cannot seem to throw out because you have one or two important information saved on them. But what do you think about throwing out your paper notes and keeping soft notes?
Having all your documents stored on Evernote saves you from the clutter that papers and books cost, and at the same time makes information instantly accessible to you when you need it.
All you need to turn your paper documents to e documents is to scan the paper copy and save on a note. Once that is done, you can get rid of all the unimportant papers around you.
Easily Separates Projects
Evernote helps you arrange, separates projects you are working on and organizes them into three primary tiers; Stacks, Notebooks and Notes. You can simply organize your professional or personal life in a stack, breakdown major areas or projects into Notebooks and then create details of each project into notes.
Simply put, you can do a lot of things without having them running into each other, piling up and getting mixed up; every detail of your projects are organized just the way they should be.
Creates and Saves Templates
You can store and retrieve templates for almost every kind of project or work you are likely to use often and again; keeping such templates helps you work on related tasks faster and more thoroughly.
For instance, you send weekly emails to clients or business partners and you have already put down a format for the letters, you can save that template so that the next time you need them, you can simply lay down the template, make any updates or corrections and then put it to use.
You can store templates such as presentation outlines, email responses, task/to-do lists, podcasts or video introduction and overview or details of a business agreement.
You can Take Notes Anywhere, at Anytime and Everything you Need to Remember
Every notebook offers you a number of notes where you can keep track of everything you need to plan, put down and organize.
From business meetings, classes, household tasks and even random ideas, there is a note for you to put down everything you do or think about.
Evernote also has an internal voice note setting, so you can choose to record a conversation, a lecture and a business meeting so that you get all the details without going through much stress.
Not only can you group notes based on topics and what you are working on at the moment, you can also sort your notes based on urgency in a way that your most important notes or those containing urgent projects will be stacked on top; that way, you dont have to miss any important plan.
Creation of Seamless To-Do Lists
You can create a to-do list for every project you are working on with Evernote; what this list does is to help you keep track of the things you need to do at a particular point in time.
You can create a to-do list for an entire week or month, organize them by dates and even set reminders based on what event comes first. The urgent works will be lined up first before the others, and the application would also remind you as the date for an event approach.
