Evernote: How to use Evernote to Organize & Simplify your Life
How to Use Evernote
An Unofficial Guide to Organizing and Simplifying your Life with Evernote
Say goodbye to Post-It notes on your monitor, scraps of paper on your desk, and a disorganized, forgetful mind. Yes I know, there's a lot going on in your life, and it's not always easy to concentrate. But let's be honest with each other. You probably won't be un-cluttering your life any time soon. Distractions are always going to be there, and so are the excuses when you forget important stuff. Why not let Evernote cut through the clutter, noise and distraction, and drag you kicking and screaming into a better, organised & simplified lifestyle, where excuses are a thing of the past?
Evernote is the #1 time management app in my life. You can use it for shopping lists, todo lists, names and numbers, important information, phone numbers, flight details, medical records, appointments, reminders, family events or kids achievements.... Need I go on?
In How to Use Evernote, you will learn:
• About the different versions of Evernote.
• The difference between local and synchronized notebooks, and the trick for converting one type to the other.
• How to use notebooks, stacks, and tags and how to capture just anything in a note.
• How to use GPS in Evernote to capture the location where a note was created. Create a note, or take a photo on that secluded beach, then navigate back, years later using Evernote. Or maybe a new restaurant you stumbled upon and fear you'll never find again?
• How to automate certain tasks with Evernote and IFTTT. In fact, I'll show you how I use it to spy on Google News in areas of interest, automatically delivering new reports to my Evernote account. The applications are endless. If you want to be notified when something comes up for sale on eBay, this technology will do it.
• How to use Evernote's OCR (handwriting recognition) to search your hand-written notes.
• How to use WebClipper & Clearly to capture information from the web.
• How Camscanner can help you go paperless.
• Skitch, Evernote Hello, Evernote Food and other apps that integrate with Evernote.
• How to use simple search to find just about any note, and advanced search techniques to find everything else.
• How to customize the interface.
• About 2 Step verification.
• How to forward emails you receive, so that they become notes, in whichever notebook you like, with whatever tags you want them to have (and a reminder set)..
• How to get Evernote to remind you about certain notes at a given time and date. This feature, when introduced, turned Evernote into a true todo list manager.
• How to access your notes or notebooks offline.
• How to share your notes or notebooks with others, or collaborate on a notebook with colleagues, each with edit or read only privileges (your choice).
• How to sort, and print.
• How to spell check.
• How to encrypt sensitive information in your notes.
• Creating and using templates in Evernote.
• All about synching, backing up and archiving notes and notebooks.
• Creating presentations (complete with laser pointer) from your notes.
• All about Windows import folders, which will copy all documents saved to a folder, into notes in the cloud, which become accessible on any device.
Essentially, this book will show you how to use Evernote to get things done.

About the author
Andy Williams
78 books9 followersThere is more than one author with this name
Dr. Andy Williams
After graduating from Hull University (North Humberside, UK), I went on to do a Ph.D. at Cardiff University where I studied endocrinology in fish. After working as a research associate at Cardiff University I decided I wanted to be a teacher, so went back to University (this time Birmingham) to study for a teaching certificate.
My first teaching job took me to Tenerife, Spain where I met my wife to be. After a spell of teaching in Madrid, we went back to Tenerife. Two kids later, we now live in North Wales.
On a day to day basis, I write "How To" books and courses related to websites, SEO and other topics of interest to anyone running a website.

Such a comforting British tone to this book with bee and fish keeping examples. Everything was very clearly explained. Just what I needed to get me going with Evernote - his method works for less complex data bases but I recommend the more powerful tag-based system which allows hierarchical organisation rather than stacking notebooks. I liked that this book was cheap!

Well Done.
A detailed analysis of evermore, across platforms. It is hard to find a more comprehensive book on software on the market. This book purchase has definitely been a surprise. I really did not know I could do so much with Evernote.

Great starter book
Directions are simple and clear for all to understand. I like the author took the time to include directions for various devices.

It may just be me, but I couldn't follow this book or its instructions.
