Using a Traditional Paper Notebook with Evernote I live in Evernote. It has quickly become one of my most important software tools. I especially liked using it with my iPad. So for now, I have returned to a traditional paper-based notepad for taking meeting notes. If you are just getting started with Evernote, I suggest that you buy Brett Kelly’s remarkably practical e-book, Evernote Essentials, Second Edition. But how do you get these notes into Evernote, so they are accessible later? Recently, I created a new workflow that I am really liking. I replaced my Moleskine notebook with an EcoSystems notebook. The value of this system for me is that it is the perfect blend of old-world and new-world technology. Question: How do you process meeting notes? Want to launch your own blog or upgrade to self-hosted WordPress?

Exporting your stuff from Evernote | Ben Stewart 5 FlaresTwitter3TweetFacebook2Pin It Share0 Google+05 Flares× I really like Evernote. I suggest it to a lot of people, especially anyone who owns an iPhone. Evernote makes it so easy to take a picture, write a note, or record some audio on your iPhone and retreive it later on your Mac, PC, or even online. This has so many potential uses from comparison shopping to simple reminders. Right now Shaun is in song-writing mode preparing for a new album and a new round of completely free songs.

Tips for using Evernote are routinely shared on Twitter (just search #evernotetip). Unfortunately, amidst all the clever suggestions for using Evernote are several very risky tips. The problem: the only thing separating your Evernote collection from prying eyes is a username and password. If you're the victim of a phishing scam or password-stealing malware, that Evernote collection could provide a one-stop-shop for all your sensitive data. Some premium (paid) users of Evernote mistakenly assume their Evernote data will somehow be safe from external attacks. Bottom line: storing unencrypted data on an Internet-facing server is not a great idea. I'm a teacher. Cloud-based storage services like Evernote are not really "in-the-cloud".

Using Evernote (the right way). Using Evernote (the right way) I believe that the best insights are made possible when they’re built from the best knowledge available. Discovering that information gets easier and easier every single day. Medium has become my go-to resource for war stories from the startup community. But I’ve always struggled to hold on to that knowledge once I’ve found it. It was hardly love at first sight. Essentially, I learned the right way to use Evernote. The key: Tags, not notebooks. When I first started using Evernote, I used it the way I’ve always used physical notebooks: a note goes in a notebook. Of course! So I created a bunch of notebooks.
