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. 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 mechanics of typing is different from writing longhand.While typing is great, and fast, sometimes I found I wanted to sketch out an idea, something I couldn’t easily do with keystrokes. The solution that I ultimately landed on was another Evernote tool: Penultimate. Penultimate allows you to create notebooks and sketch or write in them. Examples of things I capture in my Commonplace Book
How Changing Your Breathing Makes You Healthier Breathing is one of those things we do so often and so naturally, that we almost never actually think about it. While those who practice yoga and meditation often focus on their breathing, other persons generally do not think about the activity at all unless they start working out too hard. But focusing on your breath can help you reduce your stress levels, lowering your blood pressure, stimulating your brain’s growth, fighting depression and reducing your over all stress levels. Focusing on your breathing can even help you do better during testing. In fact, yoga, meditation and deep breathing can create a “relaxation response” that alters the way the body responds to stress by actually altering the expression of genes in the immune system.

Evernote Book Indexing | DAVID TUCKER I use Evernote heavily. I don't mean that in a quantitative sense but in a qualitative sense. I have learned that the power behind Evernote is not in how much you use it but how well you use it. There are fantastic prophets of Evernote out there spreading the word on ways to increase your productivity with the application but this is one that I have not heard elsewhere and it has been too beneficial not to share. I have started purchasing an increasing amount of books digitally lately and with this switch the way in which I research using my books has changed. This is where it hit me. Although photographing the index pages of every book on my bookshelf can be a little daunting it has been relatively easy to do and the time that it has saved me in the long run has more than paid off. Additionally, if enough people start this same process, Libraries can be shared and the process could be tackled by more than one person saving more time and building a stronger database to search from.

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?
Be More Productive Using A Mind Map As a Task List A mind map is a great tool for capturing ideas quickly, presenting them in a nice, graphical and hierarchical form. But can it be used as a task list? Your task list can exist in many different forms and you probably already have it on a sheet of paper, sticky notes or captured in some electronic device. Some people use good, old Notepad, but there are many applications to help you capture your tasks, such as Remember the Milk, Evernote, IQTell, OmniFocus, or simply Microsoft OneNote. I have been successfully using mind maps to store my tasks for several years and there are a number of people that have liked and adopted this idea. Starting out First, you need an application to build and manage the mind map. Name the root of the map as “Tasks”, “ToDo”, or simply your name, and add four basic sections: “Urgent” and “Projects” on the right-hand side, and “Delegated” (or “Awaiting”) and “Done” on the left-hand side. Using the mind map It’s visual It involves emotions It tracks delegated tasks
7 Ways To Make Use Of Evernote Evernote is becoming a favorite of many people for holding all their stuff. We put things into it. That’s a little vague, if you ask me. What Evernote actually does is offer you essentially a blank slate of information capture and management tools, that allows you to use their product for a huge number of interesting and different things. Some people use it as their GTD system, some as a way of storing business cards, and any number of things you could think of. Me? Bookmark Manager One of the best features about Evernote is the Web clipper. Evernote actually has most of the features of a good bookmarking service: you can tag bookmarks, search them, and even send them to someone else. File Backup This is the only use of Evernote that differs whether or not you pay for an Evernote Premium Account ($5/month or $40/year, and well worth it). This is yet another application ““ online backup ““ that Evernote does really well. Photo Library Student Organizer “Mind Like Water” Shopping Helper
