Evernote : The Key to Uncluttering Your Desktop, Your Browser and Your Brain

If you're a writer you won't believe how you survived before you started using Evernote. And I'm not only talking about people who write for a living - I'm also talking about people who write for business or school. Evernote really is the storehouse of

• random thoughts
• meeting notes
• research
• images
• book outlines
• project outlines
• audio interviews
• deadlines
• assignments
• collaborative notes

in other words - anything you need to remember. In fact, Evernote is so good at what it does that the company's motto is Remember Everything. 

Don't Risk Losing Important Writing or Research 

Back in the day it was easy to stuff pieces of paper into a filing cabinet. Chances are that once the paper was filed you rarely went back to it. Even now, you may use your computer as a filing system - exchanging metal file drawers for hard drive Folders and Sub-Folders. But even that system has its limits. That's because it relies on you remembering the names of folders and files. 

With Evernote, the entire system is graphical - that means you can click on an Evernote folder and instantly see the picture of the website, screenshot or image you saved. Which reminds me - did I mention you can also save audio and video files? And, Evernote syncs perfectly with your tablet, iPhone or Android. Evernote has such a powerful on-board search engine that all you have to do is enter a word or two and it will pull up everything you've saved that fits the search criteria. You don't have to remember anything because it remembers everything.
