What is Reddit's opinion of
Evernote?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
Evernote: I don't organize it, rather I just create notes in one big directory, and let the search find things for me. I treat it like my personal Google.
Wunderlist: They have a web app, and apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and OSX. I input everything I need to do, and everything other people ask me to do. In meetings, when someone goes "hey, can you send me report foo, then curl service bar and add the result to our wiki page bleh?", it's already being added as tasks. Thus, at work I never forget to do anything asked of me, which amazes people. A Lannister always pays his task debts.
ConEmu and VIM (yes, on Windows): For quick editing of small files in random locations, nothing beats VIM.
Isn’t there a method called Stanford notes or some shit? You write down the notes a certain way. I think it’d be more helpful than cramming a shit ton of pink and orange bullshits into a page.

I am in love with Evernote and would marry it if that sort of thing was legal.
I keep files for each character, as well as files for certain relationships, and add notes to those files as new stuff develops. I also keep summaries and fact lists for each chapter, as well as the usual idea files and such. Evernote has really helped me organize all the information and it syncs with all my devices, as well as is accessible via the web. You can also tag notes, which is amazing.
Evernote gives you an email address, accessible from your account settings. If you forward an email to that address it appears in your notes. It's not a share button, but it will get your emails into Evernote quickly and painlessly. Here's a how-to, along with shortcuts to add tags and reminders and assign the email to a specific notebook: https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/23480523.

One of Bear's great features is that the Bear team doesn't have access to—in any way, shape, or form—your data. Evernote has server-side OCR, yes. They also fucked a lot of people off when they tried to change their privacy policy to allow their employees to read your notes.
there is no system that I know of. Ancestral commonplace books are a good place to start Created and popularized in the 17th century, you have a long history to explore. The immediately available examples are just notebooks with weird stuff written in them, random thoughts, recipes, aphorisms. They are not private like journals; they are not chronicles or diaries. You make it up as you go. You keep it where you want. You use any type of analog or digital media you wish.
“ A commonplace book is a central resource or depository for ideas, quotes, anecdotes, observations and information you come across during your life and didactic pursuits. The purpose of the book is to record and organize these gems for later use in your life, in your business, in your writing, speaking or whatever it is that you do.”

Evernote just recently made real notebooks that are made to integrate with their digital product. I believe the notebook has special areas and symbols you can use to make it do things when you scan it.
Evernote did this with Evernote Hello - but apparently it's been discontinued, and part of the scanning feature integrated straight into Evernote
Looks like you're right. https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/23258452
I understand being upset that they took a feature away from the free plan. But at the end of the day, if you can afford it Premium is a great investment. I subscribed last fall and I haven't looked back.
If you see the actual video, it looks like they're just wearing those silly costumes to probably/hopefully encourage them to think differently. When a bunch of people are brainstorming new ideas or new ways of doing things, they will try to do something different - like meet in an unconventional location, wear something unconventional. The idea is not to force you to be silly, but that if you introduce something completely unfamiliar, it might trigger your brain to think differently and in unfamiliar ways too. Ad companies used to do this too.
As an aside, I bought a doxy scanner a few years ago. Anything that I get through the door I scan and store on Evernote (which has PDF OCR for searching) and I then shred the original. The only bits of paper I have are things like passports, birth certificates and car V5's etc.
There are 3 thing to take of: 1) Motivation. Read motivational books (not necessary about programming). I recommend books about finance topic (everyone wants more money, right?). Passive income - everyone's dream. However, passive means automated. By learning programming you will be able to automate processes and make money with it. 2) Planning. If you have all your plans inside your head, you are not controlling them. Your body always tries to go using least resistance path, thus pushes out all will power to learn new things. Register a Trello (https://trello.com) account and Evernote (https://evernote.com). I found those to be very effective. If you have a good idea/thought - write it down in Evernote. Write everything, don't spend time on structuring it. Go from bigger perspective to details, come up with a dream project you want to program, your goal and split the path to it into smaller pieces. Then each piece into even smaller ones, until you end up with a bunch of tasks each requiring 2-4 hours max to do. Enter everything into Trello and make you goal to move all tasks to "done" state by the end of _____ month. 3) Discipline. You need to exercise your discipline. Go to sleep and get up at the same time. Start doing workouts. Clean your house. When your body wants to rest very badly, do opposite. This way you program your brain to stop searching for excuses and going most convenient way. It will learn to go the most effective way.
Now you need to understand that there is no easy way to make all of it happen, it requires a lot of work. Good luck!
If you use an app like Scannable, then I'd say yes. But re-taking them all by hand (even if you're typing) probably isn't as efficient as other methods.
Instead, I'd take that time to review your notes and create questions out of them so you can start to quiz yourself in a way that's close to how the test will be done.
Very similar to OneNote: Evernote. It has a "clipper" add-on for Chrome (and other browsers?) that'll even cut the whole webpage and make a new note out of it.
Mark up how so? For arrows / text labels / boxes, I use Skitch. For pixels measurements, I wrote Pixel Winch.
You could also copy to your clipboard, open Preview, do ⌘N to make a new image from the clipboard, mark it up using the markup toolbar (View -> Show Markup Toolbar), then ⌘A, ⌘C to copy it back to your clipboard.
It seem's pretty good on the privacy front. Some notable things you might want to consider from their Privacy policy
>Under such a circumstance, we would only look at the Content in your account if you give us consent or if necessary to comply with our legal obligations, including to protect the safety of you or any other person.
That means that your information is accessible by them (eg. not encrypted or anything)
However they do seem to be pretty good in reporting their compliance with law enforcement
>In accordance with our user notice policy, we will notify you if we believe we are compelled to comply with a third party’s legal demand for your information, and we routinely push back on government orders to delay user notice that we view as overly broad
Although one thing i have to say is i really fucking love that they made their Privacy Policy easy to read and they don't appear to have any "we can change this notice at and time and not tell you" things in it.
Overall it seem's pretty strong on user privacy with no big issues that i can really see.
Get Evernote. Put it on your computer and/or your phone and record your thoughts that way. Then when you have the time, you can use those notes to create thoughtful comments that will be a pleasure to read and respond to. Cheers!
Edit: Also, your relative is full of shit. Suggest to him that he start with the Wikipedia page on abiogenesis and read through the scholarly work referenced there, then come back in a year or two and tell us how those researchers aren't doing real science.
Dude, get Evernote, https://evernote.com/ and make To Do lists everyday, even if you don't complete everything off your list, it'll definitely help you sort your priorities.
I'm having a lot of trouble with sitting down and focusing on doing work so i just turn off everything that can distract me and tough it out for the first 15 minutes from there I'm pretty focused and tend to get a lot of shit done.
Another thing that helps me is to put things into perspective. If I wasted my day away I will realize it just before I go to sleep and I'll feel like an idiot because of all the things I could have done. The next day when I am productive I think "that wasn't so hard was it?" and just keep that in mind the next time I feel like wasting my day away.
Pretty crazy how my life revolves around it. I use it for note taking, reminders, tasks, articles, audio recording, etc etc. Lots of possible uses for this one (as you may already know).
This is our productivity / time management app of choice at work. I work with a team of remote workers. This kind of software is necessary. It helps keep everyone productive while working remotely.
Probably one of the best calendar apps out there. It syncs all of your calendars (Google, iCloud, even Evernote). Best of all, it's free!
A couple pop to mind:
Tiddlywiki is awesome, open source and completely free. It's basically a wiki kept in a single html file. Can also be run on a Node.js install (like I do) to act as a self hosted solution. Adjusts well to mobile phones. Platform independent.
Evernote is feature rich, closed source and partially free. Syncs to your mobile as well through their servers. Available on Windows, Mac, android and iPhone
Set up the two factor authentication, that will be enough, the information (in any service) may be encrypted, but if they have your password is as weak as not having any encryption, it's better to have a 2FA on and working.
I once receive a code of my 2FA of someone trying to enter into my account (not only in Evernote but other services) thanks to the 2FA I could avoid that and change passwords since that also warns you that someone has your password.
BTW: Evernote information it's encrypted on transportation and while in the data center, if someone else has your password that encryption is useless.
​
I've played with a few that are on this list. I got used to LabGuru and it was great for our lab, but the expense really added up. Now, we share one lab account for protocols and ordering and it serves its purpose. Instead we now use Evernote for individual accounts that pair with Rocketbook. This is working well for us. I'm sure different disciplines will have different needs though.
Why wouldn't a service like Pocket work for this? How about Evernote, DEVONthink or One Note?
This isn't a database question per se, but a database of some form will probably be used in whatever solution you settle on. Don't reinvent the wheel here, especially since you're "not technical" - someone has already solved this problem for you, so use what they've built. There is software that already does this for you and the beauty of it is, it all abstracts away from you how the data is stored so you don't have to think about it.
Tapingo as another user said.
In general, I would use a note taking app for everything. I like Evernote since it's cross-platform synced and easy to use.
Also, learn to use and love your phone calendar. Makes organization a breeze... Good luck with school!
They don't have the keys.
> We never receive a copy of this key or your passphrase and don’t use any escrow mechanism to recover your encrypted data. This means that if you forget your passphrase, we cannot recover your data.
You could also try playing the movie with your (assuming you have one) iPhone or iPad, and then take a screenshot of it that way by pressing the top button and the home button at the same time.
If that doesn't work, I've also heard the free version of Skitch will help you out here.
I don't think VLC will work for you, if you purchased it legally through iTunes, because it's protected and meant to be played through iTunes. I could totally be wrong about that, I read that somewhere, and never tried it myself. But VLC is free and super easy to try, so it's still worth giving a shot.
I don't think it's an inherently bad idea. I took a JavaScript-only job (developing this) and I don't think it hurt my career in any way, but I only ended staying there about a year (for reasons unrelated to JavaScript). If you spend three, five, ten years writing nothing but JavaScript then you may eventually end up in the situation you fear, but 1) that can happen with any language and 2) there's no reason you have to work only in JavaScript for that long, and that doesn't even mean you need to change jobs in a year or two, you could always try and get not he backend team or another team or a different project after working on this JS project for a while.
Having side projects in other languages is fine and all but I realize it's not realistic for most adult professionals to spend a ton of time outside of work trying to improve their work skills. Also, side projects may help your skills, but unless you're an undergraduate, they don't make much difference in your resume. When you're giving your resume to a recruiter with, again, three, five, or ten years of experience, they want to see what you've done in your career so far. They don't care if you also made some toy projects on the side, unless they're somehow amazing. I've looked at a lot of resumes for people with years of experience. Essentially none of them list "side projects".
I've talked about my "side projects" in interviews occasionally, but I don't list them on my resume.
I do the same thing but with Evernote. It has the same capabilities - the editing you talked about, plus it syncs across all your devices - PC, phone, tablet, etc so I keep a running yarn shopping list just in case I get lured to the LYS. It is also free, so if you don't already use Microsoft office, this is a great alternative!
Ask, and you shall receive : https://evernote.com/clearly/
Clearly, is a chrome extension which basicallys clears the web version, to a "print" version.
Works for every page, even wikipedia,etc ..
Not sure what that is, but the latest version as of now is listed on their website as 10.22.3 & that's what you receive when you select to D/L from evernote.com - See:
https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/138999-evernote-for-windows-1022/
It’s not possible right now. It’s on a list of things they published as popular requests. The way they phrased this list suggested they were going to do it, but it could also be read as just a list of things people wanted without any commitment on their part to implement, depending on your level of cynicism: https://evernote.com/blog/whats-next-for-tasks/
Not at all. It is closed source.
By their privacy policy, they say themselves in very vague terms that they can do whatever they want with your data:
> By using our products, you give Evernote permission to do certain things with your data so that we can run our service.
Hint: If you can't understand what it means, in the legal language, it means that they will twist it in whatever way they see fit, in court.
> What are alternatives to Evernote (free or paid)?
Using any program and preventing it from accessing internet. You can try to do it via the firewall, by putting it in an offline virtual machine or in a physical PC completely unplugged from internet.
Otherwise, you have some open source note taking apps like joplin
If any iOS and Evernote users are reading this and think "it would be awesome to find a free scanner app that can send the scans directly into Evernote", let me tell you about Scannable: https://evernote.com/blog/scannable-a-new-mobile-scanning-app/
There is a ton of bad advice in this thread about confronting your boss about this. I come from the UX side and I'll tell you right now if you have this problem, you aren't documenting your design rationale well enough. Make sure that your preliminary designs express WHY you did what you did and show your work, show your research, show your data. In UX we LOVE feedback from other people including our bosses but we take it or leave it based on THE DATA. Do your research well and it doesn't matter what anyone has to say you have a rationale to back it up.
And if your boss is using MS Paint get him to switch to a better tool. For instance have him use Skitch to mark up your designs. Or use Invision for prototypes and use the commenting features.
This is a GOOD problem to have, you're just coming at it wrong. The problem isn't your boss, don't try to change him, change your process and your deliverables so he understands why you did what you did and then give him a better way to contribute.
Another one I use is Evernote. You can write full prose, accompanying notes, or anything you want in a really organisable fashion, without having to manage it like a file browser. And you can have it all on multiple devices for when you're out and about.
Evernote's Clearly extension is really a godsend. It breaks an entire webpage down into just a simple block of text, while still maintaining formats like titles, headers, etc. It's also pretty customizable. As of a couple weeks ago, it seems as though the Evernote team no longer offers the extension anymore. I still have it installed though, and it works just fine for me, but I don't know any other extensions that are similar to it.
Evernote itself though is an incredibly useful program for organization.
Just discovered BuJo today and am creating my journal right now.
I have a lot of experience with Evernote and I have to say that while it's good for Journaling, it's not meant for tasks.
Evernote, like an elephant, is slow; taking 5 seconds - 120 seconds to load and by that time, you already forget what you wanted to write.
Evernote also 1:20 ratio of crashing and then rebooting which adds to the 5-120sec delay.
Evernote is also extremely messy (especially with tasks and notebooks) which means that I can go back and find out what I ate for dinner march 27 2013 but it also means that I have a harder time finding older lists.
Evernote is very distracting with all these things to do instead taking my attention away from what I need.
The best solution is to keep using your paper BuJo and then Scan it into Evernote using your tablet.
This means that you get appropriate lighting, take a picture of your journal and save these pictures in your Evernote.
This serves as a digital backup in case your physical journal is lost/damaged.
tldr Evernote does not offer the immediacy of BuJo; use as Storage.
> There aren't ads in Keep, which is Google's Evernote competitor.
Wait, what? I had to go back to Google Keep to see if it had undergone some magical transformation since I looked at some months ago.
It most certainly is not a competitor to Evernote.
Spreading thin hot air with more or less words uttered seems to be a major achievement when I read through this thread.
I think we simply listen to what the Evernote CEO wrote in his blog post in January:
https://evernote.com/blog/de/ceo-update-january-2022/
When I take him by his word, I am most exited about a tackling of the syncing process. I do think there may be a deeply rooted problem there. And I hope they found the root cause and will eliminate it.
As long as the content is high quality and about security/hacking/etc It should be suitable. Anyhow thank you for pointing out they fixed it. I just checked their security updates page https://evernote.com/security/updates
A lot of this may come down to what system you are more comfortable with. Two other commenters (elint & DTLow) both highlighted the power of a TAG based system. I am a "lots of notebooks" guy.
For me, it came down to whether or not I store data that usually has multiple uses/labels/etc. -- tagging is ideal for this (for example, you could have one bookmark tagged "Psychology, ForClass, send2mom, and Thesis." This is a decent, fictional, mixture of action based, reference based, and project based filing.
Very few of my notes are like that. I took a photo of that receipt for my Taxes. I clipped that web page for Project A. I clipped that other web page for Project B. This PDF is just for reference later, etc. That pushed me toward notebooks. I have one for each current project, several topic based notebooks, some "areas of Life" notebooks (my house, my family, my animals, etc.)
Tiago Forte's PARA method has been pretty eye opening for me on all of this. Unfortunately, most of the "good stuff" is paywalled or part of an online course. My key takeaway from the whole thing, however, was that a note doesn't HAVE to stay in one notebook forever. It is OK to pull several notes & bookmarks together for a project and then refile them to other places later.
This is where I use tags -- to track what a note has BEEN, not what it might be. So, when a project ends, all the notes from the project get tagged with the project name (used to be the notebook name), and refiled -- either in a reference notebook or in a big archive notebook.
If you are interested in the Tiago Forte stuff, here are two places to start:

TBH none outside of the Notepad. They all have privacy issues. As much as Evernote says that they are private, engineers can still access content.
In the end it is about a trade off. By you giving them your info, are you getting a good ROI using their product?
There was a documentary titled "Your terms may apply" that speaks on privacy in the digital age.
Here is [https://evernote.com/privacy/policy](Evernote's Privacy Policy)
Evernote! You can also store photos, link notes, share notes, etc. You can access it via your browser or use an app on your phone, so you've always got your notes with you :)
If you're looking for a free-form tool with tags and that can work both for actions and reference/documentation, have a look at Evernote. The whole GTD toolkit can be integrated, as elegantly demonstrated by this very thorough methodology The Secret Weapon.
I tried Evernote but it didn't really mimic my brain, so I got MyLifeOrganized, which I have been using for years after having tried about 15 different tools/systems.
I'm going to plug evernote as a way to gather documentation in one place. It syncs across platforms and you can use it anywhere.
I haven't done much in the way of deliberate documentation, but I think my first task would probably be to gather what I've written in forums and emails to see if a natural process is already in place.
Finally completed my switch today, Chrome is no longer on my system.
Between extensions and El Capitan upgrades, Safari has really closed the gap in a lot of ways.
As an example, take the task of making an article readable, without any crap (ads, sidebars, share buttons, links to other stories on the site) and in an eye-pleasing color scheme (I like light grey text on dark grey background, like RES dark mode). On Chrome, I used Evernote Clearly to do this. Safari on Yosemite had Safari Reader built in, but I needed an extension - CustomReader - to make it dark. El Capitan has font/color options - including a dark mode - built-in. Command-shift-R and boom.
Nowadays the browsers are far more alike than they are different, and there are fewer and fewer ways Chrome edges out Safari. In my case, it was a few months ago when switching started to make sense, and today I completed it 100%.
> is there a way to use Evernote without any of its cloud functionality?
Sure you can locally stored notebooks but the main point of EN is to have access to your info where ever you are and on all of your devices.
I understand your privacy issues but EN has been up front about their security and such.
From EN [link] >We consider your data private and do not permit another user to access it unless you explicitly share it.
Yes, just had an email (ironically) from them confirming it, here's more info: Support article
This is probably my most used feature so it seems I'll have no choice but to upgrade. I don't really see what value I will get in the other Premium features, but not being able to email notes will really affect my workflow.
I use and love Evernote. It handles images and text, no problem, is viewable on multiple devices through the cloud, and best of all, it's free. You can organize everything easily and quickly with tags and multiple notebooks.
I've also heard good things about The Keep (nbos software). It looks like an earlier attempt to build something like Realmworks. I have a friend that likes it because of the way it can be run from Dropbox/G-drive, but I have never used it. They have a trial version of v1.0 for free, but v2.0 costs $35.
Right now it's a combo of
Detailed daily planner: My personal daily planner. Designed myself so it's custom. Has errands, meal planning, chores, exercise/meditation, water, medications, so I can manage the whole day at a glance. Has a top 3 section for MUST dos, a to do section, and a blank scheduling section. Print out 5+ sheets a week. One day per letter sheet. I ought to PDF it so it's more portable (it's InDesign only atm.)
To dos: Workflowy for detailed GTD-style to dos and project outlining. Also references of morning routine, evening routine, that sort of thing.
Weekly plan: One week on a letter sheet planner, for rough outline of week and at a glance schedule. Just something from a "free printable calendar" website.
Weekly review: in Evernote with goals review. Used to use Evernote for more but I'm disillusioned with its crappy note formatting abilities so now it's primarily big-picture stuff like the goals review and a bookmark/reference depository. It's still great at that, btw.
On the go: bullet journal. Transfer to planner or Workflowy later.
I personally use Evernote. It's a notes program/website/app that I can access from any computer, my phone, my laptop, my iPad.
I created a "notebook" of recipes with the link to each and then I typed up a quick list of ingredients for each so I can easily access it on my phone at the grocery store if I'm trying to figure out what to buy for meals for the week.
EDIT: I also use it on my iPad to quickly locate the recipe while I'm in the kitchen and keep it nearby to follow while cooking. I'm a huge fan of electronic device convenience, but that's a personal preference.
Perhaps this one will give you what you want. It allows you to make the bookmarks toolbar smaller, among other options. I haven't used it.
As far as other addons go, I generally like the same types of addons in both, so I'm not sure what to tell you. There are precious few addons that have no similar ones in the other browser, at least that's what I've found for addons I've used in each browser. I'm not sure what you use with plugins, but when I use Firefox I like to click to play for each instance of flash. I can get this in FF with this one.
For me, personally, I like some type of autocomplete=on, AdBlockPlus, and Clearly (cleans the webpage of gunk so that you can save the page with only the text and pics you want). Those are always among the first I install when trying out any new browser.
Best wishes. I did like Chrome some, but was wooed back to FF by the fact that FF allows the user to customize the UI in a way unimaginable with Chrome.
The solution for this in the future: Evernote! I use it for some really cool things, I actually recently took an entry from it to make a 12000 comment about a dream I had. I had that dream about a year ago, but I was able to post it just a day ago, I think, because I had it saved on Evernote. I have a lot of cool entries on there, and if they every become relevant on a thread, especially in this subreddit, I will whip them out. So in the future use Evernote, it really is great!
! If you're an Evernote fan why not get an Evernote Moleskine for your bujo? It's basically equivalent to a regular moleskine except it comes with Evernote premium and stickers which automatically sort your scans/pictures.
This is basically my setup. I don't scan EVERYTHING but I do scan stuff like my favorite quotes, or important lists that I don't want to discard when I start a new journal. It's also not going to be searchable, but it's better than nothing.
thank you, just added it
they are evernote 'points' which can be applied towards several things, including extending a premium subscription, for more info, check out:
I didn't even know evernote had this points system
I take handwritten notes at work during status meetings (Daily status category). Normally just quick notes to remember small things I might forget. Then I have tags such as "To Do" and "Important" and "Instructions", etc.
One thing I would caution with evernote is that the free account has a 60mb a month limit. If you're doing a lot of images, that might be a factor for you. OneNote has no limits (afaik).
Yup. It is a fantastic method of collecting and organizing.
You might also look at the auto-sweep feature that automatically creates a note each time you add a file into a folder.
I have (this one in particular) but I did not find it to be a great method. I use Evernote on the sideline to do voice recordings, take pictures, videos, etc. so I can go back and reference them later. Especially helpful if I am providing care for an athlete as a per diem AT and do not have a relationship with the coach, team, or athlete.
I felt that using an app where I had to sequentially answer questions slowed me down. I'm curious to hear what other ATs use. As an educator, I do not encourage students to use apps for anything other than to aid their documentation after the fact.
I have a Iphone 4s and use the standard calendar function a lot.
I also can recommend Evernote. I mainly use it's document and postit fotocapture function and check list function. The free version is very restricted in it's function though, but you get a some month of the full version for free I think.
Last but not least I can really recommend a analog pocket calendar out of paper. You can use it even if your battery is empty. Use a graphite pen so you can erease stuff out of it. The paper calendar is the foundation of my organisation, everything else is just specialisation.
I believe this was announced publicly at the EC4 conference today. You just got there a day early and it was already live. It's officially documented on Evernote's help center.
Never heard of it? Arguably the best note taking software for Windows Shit, Im so invested in it that I keep my Windows partition around just for it. The web app is okay - gets the job done but nothing else. The next best thing Ive found for Linux is Springseed
What version of Android are you on?
I'm not sure if this helps , but have you tried EverNote? You can write both on your computer as well as your phone.
Check if your phone supports it. PlayStore Link.
If it doesn't try getting an older version of it by downloading the .apk file! I guess that should do.
Some scanners come with OCR software that will create a PDF for you, usually a version of ABBYY finereader. You might check into that. There is also some freeware OCR software out there (search for OCR in this subreddit).
Finally, you can check into stuff like OmniPage, currently $60 after MIR at NewEgg.
Another option might be EverNote. If you load an image into Evernote, it will do OCR on it and let you search for the words in it. But it won't let you export the OCR results.
If you're looking for something non-pdf, I'm sorry I can't be of help.
Try Bullet Journal or Evernote, or a good old-fashioned journal-planner combo.
Get a whiteboard.
Learn how be better and/or more efficient one topic/subject at a time.
Profit.
That's a possibility, but I find it slow and awkward. A few months ago, Evernote introduced "Table of Contents notes." There's a how-to here.
I have that too because it's flexible and always with me. I find that at a certain point a category that was once useful needs to be split up, and it's easy to do on a phone.
I really hate typing on my phone, but it's the best way I've come up with for most stuff that doesn't take too much writing. I've heard the programe Evernote is really useful. I downloaded and haven't used it yet, but you can use it between different phones and computer any whatnot.
But I love writing by hand, so I have a large number of notebooks. I've had to really ponder, over time, to figure out how to prevent all my notebooks from getting taken over by random notes and lists and number crunching. One key part is to have a notebook for general notes, and one for kind of scrap stuff. And multiple subject notebooks are pretty good to help with that. And I keep fresh notebooks around so that when I'm tempted to go off-theme, I create a new notebook. It's pretty nuts, I would say you have to really love notebooks to go with this method.
Second on Evernote. Another awesome feature of Evernote is that they automatically do optical character recognition (OCR) on any document you add to Evernote, whether it's typed or handwritten, making it searchable. So if you have a pastry recipe for Awesome Fluffy ChouChou that you scan in (as opposed to typing in directly as a text note), you can later search for "fluffy" or "chouchou" to find it. This is incredibly handy once you start building up a proper library of notes.
Also, as X28 noted, Evernote is available on a huge number of platforms, and they all access the same service, so, if you're at a friends and want to pull up a recipe but don't have your iPad, just open a web browser and go to evernote.com, log in, and snag your recipe. You can also e-mail any note from Evernote ("Hey, that was a great recipe - can you e-mail me a copy?"), share notebooks, etc., etc. Super handy.
Yes, it was mentioned in the announcements for 2022:
https://evernote.com/blog/ceo-update-january-2022/
But I understand it will come to iOS AND Android, so currently there are no system widgets on Android as well.
Hello and I'm sorry for the issue!
May I ask you which Evernote version you are using? I'm asking since Evernote 10 is not supported yet. Our application is based on scripting so it is unable to work with the new Evernote. I hope the Evernote team will enable the scripting sometime in the future, though I don’t have any details. Also, we are currently researching a way to access the data in any other way.
Just download the new Windows version direct from https://evernote.com/download
The in-app popup for an update usually lags behind the release, which is always available via the direct download.
>all I know is that I surely won't buy the next year of premium, I'll probably stay on free version, fck it
I would double check the limitations of the free plan before doing that. I considered that option but have just paid for another year of Premium as I felt it was worth it to avoid the hassle of damaging it more than Evernote has already done.
I would struggle with the 2 device limitation, and the 25MB note limit and the search not including PDFs would be incredibly inconvenient. For me the hassle of moving from Premium to free was enough to justify paying for another year, with the hope that it will continue to improve. YMMV
As I read it you keep your notes but the maximum note size is 25MB and you can only upload 60MB per month as opposed to 10GB. And you lose some features such as annotating PDFs etc. From Evernote plans
Is an AI scanning everything you put in Evernote a concern? Contrast that aging article with their current manipulative and deceptive privacy policy. I certainly wouldn't consider using Evernote, but your threat model may vary.

They do log "the usual" stuff like anything you submit and your IP address, but honestly this is one of the better privacy policies I've seen. They admit that they have access to your content and will use that enforce ToS and comply with law enforcement, but also swear they don't use it for advertising. They also collect a relatively little amount - mainly just some device data. I still think there are better options out there, like Joplin, Standard Notes, or Nextcloud, but damn I'm impressed. This is far from the worst I've seen.
Late 40's, only recently diagnosed the above is spot on.
Adding to the advice in this thread about physical activity and making lists to tick off, download something like Evernote and/or Tiimo and use them to start planning your days of study (Khan Academy? Coursera?) and creating a different life.
"To me, success is many good memories, being kind and helpful, being needed. Success isn't how big your tombstone will be."
Very, very true. And "success" can be as little as getting through one more day.
>Feels like these apps have been in development forever.
It's not just a feeling - they really have been. The then-new CEO announced on January 3rd, 2019, that Evernote's focus in 2019 would be a fundamental re-architecture of the entire Evernote technology stack.
So far, it's taken a lot longer than just 2019 - it's been 19 months and counting, and they still don't have a public beta of any of the apps. Hopefully we won't need to wait until 2021 to see them broadly deployed.
Here's the official way of signing up:
https://evernote.com/betaprogram
I think it's worth it if you're interested in the future direction of Evernote. The big benefit of the Preview app is that you get access to the same editor as in the web version (new highlighting options, checklists, better formatting of content pasted from the web, etc.) at the expense of a few features that currently only exist in the legacy desktop versions (e.g. presentation mode, note merging, dark mode, etc.)
A couple years ago, not long after I first signed up for Evernote actually, I stumbled across this article on their website that introduced me to the Eisenhower Matrix. In a nutshell, it's a to-do list that is broken up into quadrants, with each block delegated to a different set of tasks that are grouped together mostly by their level of importance and their due dates. I have tweaked it a little bit over time to suit me personally, but to this day it's absolutely revolutionized how I utilize my time and how I plan my work weeks. I make a new one every Sunday for the upcoming week, and usually have it open as a pop-out note on my screen throughout my day.
HERE is the article, if you think it'll help.
As a side note, I read a really good book on making to-do lists about a year ago, one that even mentions the Eisenhower Matrix, called "The To-Do List Formula", found it on Kindle. It was really short but very informative, gave me loads of little tips on how to improve my current list and how to maintain it properly, and also will introduce you to dozens of other options on how to build your own.
You can always use Microsoft Word, but I've found that Evernote has proven to be extremely useful. Everything is saved both online and offline so you can access any of your saved documents from any device you have (phone, PC, etc).
Here's an example of a page of notes from ProfessorMesser's first section of videos.
Hope I could shed some light on your situation; best of luck!
I have not purchase these wallets but I they look like best for carrying card, cash and coin. IMO.
The premium features are described here https://evernote.com/get-started
The handwritten search in images is available for non-Premium Account and is described here https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208314518-How-Evernote-makes-text-inside-images-searchable
What format are you saving your handwritten notes?
With a premium account you will have local copies of all your notes on each of your devices, provided you are using the app and not accessing Evernote.com through a web browser. As you make changes to notes, the changes will be synchronized with "the cloud" and then to each device.
Not exactly sure what you get with the free account these days.
I use a system call The Secret Weapon, it is the Evernote App and a method based off of "Getting Things Done" by David Allen.
Totally free. Has helped me a lot, but I haven't been as diligent as I should be.
Take a look at their security blog post - https://evernote.com/security
This should clarify things for the CTO too.
In short, your notes are stored in Google Cloud and encrypted with Google's server side encryption (using AES-256).
I love this idea! It looks like a good start as well. Not sure if it would fit in somewhere (or if I over looked it), but maybe add something about data / management rights. Something similar to Evernotes Privacy Policy..
WHen I can I will try and correct typo's and grammar. Keep up the good work, this can lead to something great!
Looks like Skitch. Couple of years ago it was available on Windows, but then they pulled it back to just Mac and mobile. I think similar markup functionality might be available in the full Evernote client for Windows though.
I know it gets a bad rap, but it is the one application that I have found to do pretty much everything I ask it to do. At work I use Windows and home a Mac/iPad Pro/iPhone/Apple Watch. The app works great across all platforms and is even usable with the web interface. I have about fifty notebooks with many notes in each.
I have a notebook for each project or subject I am learning and use the TODO and reminders features extensively.
I have tried many different productivity apps both free and expensive and everything in between and nothing seems to come close. Even if I was 100% on MacOS I would probably still use it.
I just wish that it supported Markdown because I spend way more time that I should formatting.
*** Edit *** Yes it costs money, but I have never had an issue paying for software, and the value that it brings me makes it feel like a bargain.

They tried to change it last year and the internet got angry and they didn't do it - which means enough people are looking at their hands. A smaller app could promise you privacy today and cash in on your data tomorrow.
Pretty simple to tell -- if the website you go to is https://evernote.com, it's almost certainly legit. If that's not the url, then its almost certainly phishing.
Iirc Evernote asking to verify your email occasionally sounds familiar.
Asana Task. List. Heaven. This app is a project management app so it's ideal for group collaboration, but you can use it on your own too. You can make projects, tasks, subtasks, and set deadlines - it will even send you reminder emails.
If you integrate it with Instagantt (web app), you can get a visual timeline of your Asana tasks, see which have longer vs shorter, earlier vs later timelines, and you can even sort by priority.
Evernote I lived by this while I was in grad school. Took all class my notes in it - saves automatically, syncs across devices (would study off my phone on the way to class), you can set up tasks and reminders and link it to some other apps.
I just fully embrace technology and went the other way. Explore Evernote, you can run it on computer or phone.
I take pictures of all my documents including important receipts for large purchases and store them as individual notes.
I can simply search for any document within seconds and since I haven't owned a printer for 3 years now, I just go to the stationary store to print anything I need which rarely ever happens.
Used to have a filing cabinet, rolodex and all that pain in the ass crap, much prefer having my docs digitally available from the cloud.
Give it a try you might be impressed how well it works.

Nice article! Prioritization sounds like a great advice, IMHO. it's something that pretty often is missing in planning/scheduling routine. I'm also a Trello user and love it. I think it's one of the most helpful Project management tools.
I also would recommend paying attention to organizing the workflow when using multiple tools cause it obviously increases your productivity. I'm a big fan of Zapier (because of its simplicity and endless possibilities). I integrated todo app (Focuster) with note-taking apps (Evernote), with e-mail (both work and personal Gmails) and Lucid Meetings. Actually, I'm still working on editing the workflow:). But so far, for example, my new tasks from Trello are landing as actions in todo app. And it saves me tons of time and also helps to keep a focus on work.
My experience looks this way:
To keep track of what I really want to achieve (big goals if you want), I keep notes in Evernote. I tend to write down 6-month goals, and then monthly goals with some explanations, comments or whatever I need there.
The hardest part is with everyday tasks to achieve these goals. My todo app (Focuster) is connected to my calendar and schedules tasks there according to their priority. Here are my tricks: 1) Usually, I set up 2-3 the most important tasks for each day and schedule my small recurring daily tasks in between these tasks. This way every day looks a little different:)
2) When separating my tasks into projects I try (if it's possible) to give them some inspirational names, so when I look at them I feel motivated
3) Also, I'm using Trello as my project management tool. When I integrated it with my todo app, it allowed me to add every new Trello card as a task on my todo list. This way my todo list fills in automatically with new, different tasks and doesn't look boring. Almost:)
Moreover, MS received 35,572 requests of data (targeting 60,372 users/accounts) from Gov't and third-party entities, and rejected only 12% of those requests.
Evernote received 11 requests and rejected 2 of those requests.

How much?
I had it in an email from Evernote this morning but it's on their Privacy Policy, specifically the What's new? and this Notice of Privacy Policy Updates
> Can anyone on Evernote actually read the notes? :/
AFAIK, no. My work with their support team confirmed they can only see what I share with them. I'm sure there are a few Employee that have the ability to access accounts, but they state in their privacy summary that it's only accessed in rare occasions.
> As a rule, Evernote employees do not monitor or view your personal information or Content stored in the Service, but we list below the limited circumstances in which our employees may need to access or review your personal information or account Content.

Very weird. I just looked in Firefox, Edge, and IE. All show $69.99. You're looking at https://evernote.com/pricing/, right?
edit: I wasn't signed into my account. I looked at the pricing page again after signing in and now is see $45.
