A Handy Index to All My Evernote Posts. I have been writing for a while now about Evernote, the software that turns your computer into a digital brain. It allows you to remember everything. Literally. Yesterday, someone asked me if I had a list of all my blog posts I’d written on this topic. Sadly, I had to admit that I didn’t. The best I could do was point them to my blog’s search engine. So I decided to pull together this list of all my posts, to make it easier for those who want to get up-to-speed fast.

Also, I have decided to call this series, “Evernote for Busy Leaders.” If you are just getting started with Evernote, I suggest that you buy Brett Kelly’s remarkably practical e-book, Evernote Essentials, 4.0. Question: What am I missing? Or upgrade to a self-hosted WordPress blog? Why Nozbe Is Still My Favorite Task Management System. I have been using task-management software since the late 90s, when I first installed a program developed by Franklin-Covey. Since then, I have tried almost every system available, including Things, Remember the Milk, OmniFocus, Midnight Inbox, iGTD, Wunderlist, and many more.

But the one I have used for more than four years is Nozbe. In my view, nothing else comes close. The company just released a new desktop version (both Windows and Mac), which I have been beta-testing for the past few months. If you are looking for a task management software tool—or are tired of the limitations of the one you have—here are eight reasons you should consider Nozbe: It follows the GTD methodology. The more I use Nozbe, the more I am impressed. The app itself is free. Or upgrade to a self-hosted WordPress blog? How Penultimate and Evernote Have Replaced My Pocket Notebook. When I went paperless–now going on more than two years ago–I tried to go pretty much wholesale. There were the occasional pieces of paper I had to handle, but mostly I tried to do everything that I used to do on paper in digital form.

The trickiest thing for me, back then, was converting my pocket notebook to digital format. So tricky was it, that I stubbornly gave up the notebook entirely, rather than having to still use paper. Recently, however, I’ve found ways to recreate that notebook without paper and it has been a lifesaver! Let me explain. Just about every writer I know these days carries around a Moleskine notebook to jot down thoughts or ideas.

The more I went to conventions and hung around these other writers, the more I saw how useful and convenient it was to be able to scribble something down on paper. The solution that I ultimately landed on was another Evernote tool: Penultimate. Penultimate allows you to create notebooks and sketch or write in them. Don’t erase anything.
