Using Evernote: How I process my Stuff

By Michael Fletcher On November 12, 2009 · 28 Comments

I’ve been using Evernote extensively now for the last 3 months, not sure what Evernote is check out my Evernote Review or my guide to Goal tracking with Evernote I have found it a great tool to keep my blogging and work notes together. Here’s a practical run through of the way I integrate using Evernote into my daily work, what I use it for and a tip or two from having bumped my head before..

There are a few main categories of stuff that I capture using Evernote:

Writing Ideas are easily captured using Evernote, due to the many mobile capture methods
Blog post Outlines can easily be worked out using Evernote for easy capture and the ease of organizing using Evernote
Blog posts or articles can be written offline and easily saved using Evernote this is an excellent way to safeguard against technical failures which could devour your carefully chosen words.
Blog posts which I’ve read and would like to keep as reference material for future projects are easily captured, stored and indexed using Evernote
Screen shots are a dream to work with using Evernote, Evernote treats image notes like any other note due to the great OCR implementation
HTML code which I use for formatting my blogs and posts are easily kept safe and accessible from any location using Evernote
Adsense – I find it useful to capture backups of all my active adsense code in Evernote, that way I don’t have to trawl through the google interface when I delete a code as I so often do.
Offline Comments – I’m constantly using Evernote to capture comments offline when I’m reading my RSS feeds via my offline reader.

Free time Free Self Development

For many the state of the economy has become a drain on the resources. We’ve had to become more aware of how we spend our money. We haven’t however become any more vigilant about how we spend our more valuable resource time. Self development costs nothing. Free time is at a premium. We all have finite time on the planet and should be using it to the max. Once you’ve realised this your time is filled with opportunity. Every day becomes an opportunity for self development. Opportunity to find and add more value to your life. If you’re sitting with too much free time, you have a problem. You haven’t realised the urgency of your self development . You haven’t realised that real growth can’t really wait for the tomorrow you hope you have.

Find time to do meaningful things in your life

Please note I wrote this post last week before going off on my trip and started editing it this morning and realized it’s kind of impossible without changing the tone of the whole post so this post is kind of a time travel into last week with me.

Find Time to find meaning

So I’m hitting the road, and leaving my blog unattended for a few days, its been a long time coming but I’m really looking forward to this get away for more reasons than I care to share with you. The trip should be 229kms or 114 miles. After making my way through rush hour Johannesburg traffic I whip past due east of our countries capital, Pretoria , I’ll hit the country roads which the nice people on the internet promise me has stunning scenery, who can argue with alliteration like that.
