Once or twice a week I go into Evernote and process or clean up the INBOX. Anything that I bookmark, write, or save automatically goes into the INBOX folder. Once in Evernote, I set up two “notebooks”: INBOX, and ARCHIVED. This is one of the tools that allows me to have ubiquitous access to my content. Now your notes will be accessible on all of these spaces. Sign in to your Evernote account across all of these devices. You should also install the Evernote Web Clipper extension for Chrome or Firefox. I have been a subscriber for years to get the extra options. There are paid versions available…I’d suggest starting to use it before you start paying.

Install it on your iPhone, iPad, Android devices, Mac, PC, etc.

To get started, create an Evernote account and add the apps across your devices. The challenge is that because there are so many things you can use it for…people don’t know how to get started. 🙂 Getting startedĮvernote is a FREE tool that can serve a multitude of uses. I think you can any tool as long as you identify a process…and stick to the process. I’ll identify these processes at work using Evernote. In this post I’ll document the thinking and process used as I integrate Evernote into my workflow. There are also the random whiteboard notes, research PDFs, & audio interviews I want to archive and have access to. It basically becomes a my own personal database in which I save everything that I do.

As I’m working, I come across websites or materials that I may want access to later. I use Evernote in my workflow to keep track of everything that as I read, write, and socialize online.
