Evernote for Nonprofits. (This post was collaboratively written with Jonathan Weldon ...using a shared folder in....Evernote!) In case you've never heard of Evernote this blog post is written from the perspective of a couple Inbox Zero & GTD geeks who are just as likely to be discussing the latest keyboard shortcut or productivity trick as we are where the next happy hour is. While we like to think of ourselves as early adopters, Evernote was recently named Company of the Year by Inc. Magazine and with more than 20 million users, it’s pretty mainstream. While Convio is not affiliated with or a partner of Evernote in any way, both of us are passionate about nonprofits and technology and thought we’d share a few ideas about how this application can help nonprofit professionals.

Why is Evernote Important? A key aspect of any nonprofit’s operations is storing and sharing information related to their mission, programs, outreach, and funding. Volunteer & Event Management Mission & Marketing Fundraising and Development.

Interview

Inbox Zero. Web Worker Daily » Archive Maintaining “Inbox Zero” with Google. I’m proud to say that I successfully live inbox zero, never letting email pile up in my inboxes. If I have more than 30 unread messages at any one time, I break into a cold sweat. So as a result, until recently I couldn’t imagine maintaining my maniacal level of control over my inboxes without a desktop email client’s notifications, rules & plug-ins. Thanks to Google Apps and some simple tricks & tips that are only possible with Gmail in the browser, I’m master of my domain (email, that is) in my browser window. I have never felt more organized with my email across four different accounts.

Think it’s just an impossible dream? I don’t follow “Getting Things Done” to the letter. Schedule your email passes like you do your backups. If you don’t want to declare email bankruptcy, an empty inbox doesn’t happen by itself. While there are tools that can make processing large amounts of email easier, Inbox zero is a time commitment. Use Remember the Milk‘s Gmail extension. SlimTimer - Time Tracking without the Timesheet. GTDGmail - The Firefox Extension that Combines Gmail with Gettin.
